My alpha husband sacrificed my life to a witch in exchange for his lover’s health.
Little did he know, I was that witch.

my luna once she gets better,” he said coldly.
At that moment, I appreciated my mask, for it allowed me to listen to his genuine feelings.
“Alright, I’ll fulfill your wish,” I respond.
If that’s what you want, I’ll make sure it happens.
I promptly sent a message to the witch elder. “I’ll take your place–and become the true sovereign of all the packs.”

Eric Daston quickly penned his signature on the contract.
I stood by, helpless, as he unflinchingly exchanged my future to secure Kelly’s well–being.
The moment the agreement was signed, it felt as if my fate was intertwined with Kelly’s.
Embracing Kelly warmly, Eric kissed her softly. “Thank goodness, Kelly. You’ll get better.”
Once they departed, I clutched my throbbing chest and coughed up blood.

The agreement was already in motion.
Upon getting home, while battling the sharp pain in my chest, Eric said coldly, “Where were you… Never mind. Kelly moved in not long ago. The main bedroom is roomy. Just take the guest room.
The sight of him embracing Kelly just thirty minutes earlier lingered vividly in my thoughts.
I remained silent, trudging into the guest room, feeling as though my energy was slowly draining away.
Eric was taken aback by my response. After a brief moment of silence, he frowned, shot up from his seat, and stormed into the guest room. He grabbed my wrist and yanked me up.

“Olivia, what’s with the attitude? Are you ignoring me just because you don’t want Kelly here? Where did you get the audacity?”
A sharp pain coursed through me, and a cold sweat formed on my back. “I’m just exhausted and need to rest early.”
Eric glared icily. “Wake up early tomorrow. Kelly’s fond of burgers.”
He abruptly let go of my hand and walked away, indifferent to my ashen expression.
The following morning, the butler shook me awake with a sneer, saying, “Ms. Delholm, Mr. Daston insists you shouldn’t be idle. So, rise early to prepare breakfast.”
Feeling faint, my vision swam. I fixed my gaze on the butler. “You’re fired.”
The butler’s face twisted in shock. “How dare you…”
“I’m Eric’s wife and the lady of this house,” I interrupted

I coughed softly, choking down the blood.
The butler’s expression darkened, taking on an iron–green hue as he stood silently with his head lowered, simmering with resentment. I ignored his mood and made my way down to the kitchen.
Eventually, Eric approached from behind and embraced me around the waist. “I was too emotional last night. Once Kelly gets better, I’ll ask her to leave, and we can take a trip to see the aurora.”
I gave a slight smile. “Are you sure you want to see the aurora with me?”
The frailty in my limbs made it clear that the contract Eric had signed without a second thought was now active. My vitality was slipping away.
A momentary flash of remorse crossed Eric’s face, though he maintained a stoic expression.
Before I could say anything, Kelly let out an unexpected scream from behind. Instinctively, Eric let go of me and pushed me aside.
Kelly, as if suddenly overwhelmed, clutched her chest and began to cough heavily
Eric hurried over to her, embracing her and softly patting her back.
I’m not sure how much time passed before Kelly finally stopped coughing. She quickly moved away from Eric’s embrace and gave me an apologetic look.
“Olivia, I’m sorry. I just felt really uncomfortable earlier. I didn’t mean to…”
Eric interrupted with a casual tone, “Olivia is very understanding and forgiving.”
I hoped for a quiet breakfast, but a sudden sharp pain gripped my

stomach. Almost simultaneously, Kelly’s eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
Eric caught her in his arms, then turned to me with an intense glare. “What did you do?”
He knocked over my chair. His eyes blazed with a fury that looked ready to tear me apart.
The pain caused cold sweat to bead on my skin, and my vision slowly blurred and distorted.
Just before I passed out, I realized the little life inside me was fading, turning into nutrients meant for Kelly.
