I blinked. “What?”
“You had a miscarriage because you had sex!” he hissed, his gaze piercing me like a dagger.
The blood seemed to drain from my face. Pregnant? Again? That was too soon.
A strange sense of relief washed over me when I heard the baby was gone. If I had really been pregnant, they might have forced me to give birth, and I would have died before I could see my mother.
“You’re smiling? Are you happy that you lost my child after sleeping with another man?!” Logan jumped to his feet in a rage, pointing at my face.
I realized my mistake. “No! There’s no relationship between me and that man. This happened because I knelt down—”
“Stop defending him!”
Logan grabbed my shoulder roughly. Rage consumed him. His wolf claws extended, ready to tear my body apart.
Fear gripped me as I saw the murderous intent clearly radiating from Logan’s eyes. His grip was so painful that tears streamed down my face.
Logan's anger immediately faded when he saw my tears. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his anger.
“Mia, you are my woman. I forgive you for trying to seduce the Alpha Moonstone Heir. But I will not tolerate you seducing another man again.”
“You've known me for a long time, can't you trust me even a little?”
"How can I trust you when the evidence is right in front of my eyes? The maids and members of the pack sometimes see that man standing in front of your window and sneaking into your room!”
”Logan..." I looked at him wearily and took a deep breath, leaning against the headboard.
No matter what, no one in this pack believed me, even if I explained it a thousand times. I just wanted to leave this pack.
But my mother's survival is still in Madam Freya's hands. I need to wait until Alpha Asher safely moves my mother away from the Wildfire pack's surveillance.
“Fine, believe whatever you want.”
Logan growled. “Don't you feel guilty for betraying me?!”
“Betraying you? Alpha, have you forgotten who I am? I'm just your breeder. My job is only to bear your children, not to love you or be loyal to you. That loyalty should be given by Luna Olivia, your mate.”
“What do you get by seeking another man? Isn’t what I give you enough?”
“What do you give me? My children were taken from me. I have nothing from you.” I gave him a cold stare.
Logan remained silent for a long time. He stared at me with an unreadable expression.
“Alright, I understand.” Then he called Dr. Joseph.
Dr. Joseph arrived immediately, accompanied by a nurse carrying a tray with a small bowl.
A sense of déjà vu hit me, realizing what Logan was about to do.
“You want me to have another child?”
Logan didn't answer, taking the bowl and handing it to me.
The potion was different from the ones I usually drank. It was dark green.
“This is better than the previous potions. Dr. Joseph has made a better potion, and it will heal your body even though you’ve had multiple miscarriages. Don’t worry, you won’t feel any pain.”
“Logan! I just had a miscarriage and you're still forcing me to have a child!”
“Mia, this child will be yours. You don't have to give it to Olivia. This is my way of showing you I care.”
I looked at Dr. Joseph, pleading. “Dr. Joseph, didn't you say that my body can no longer bear children?”
Before Dr. Joseph could answer, Logan interrupted softly, “This potion is better than the previous one. You'll be fine, I promise.”
“No! I still refuse! I'm sick of being your breeding machine!”
Logan's expression changed in an instant. He stood up with the bowl in his hand and forced me to drink.
“When I ask you to drink, you must drink.”
He grabbed my jaw, forcing me to swallow the potion poured into my mouth.
I felt a burning sensation spread from my throat to my stomach.
Logan's expression softened. “If you obey, I won't force you like this.”
Then he turned and left, followed by the nurse.
Dr. Joseph sighed, as if resigned and unable to help any further, then turned and left me alone.
My face was pale as if the blood had drained from it, and I vomited the potion onto the floor.
The dark green liquid from my mouth slowly turned red with blood.
I coughed, vomiting dark red liquid into my palm.
“Poison? Logan, you lied...” I whispered bitterly.
The poison didn't kill me immediately. Slowly, my senses began to dull, and my body sometimes trembled. The pain in my womb that I had been feeling for a year became more intense. It was excruciating.
Logan seemed unaware that he had given me poison. With renewed attention, he sent me several gifts in including clothes, jewelry, and other expensive presents.
“Miss Klein...” A maid slipped a small bottle into my hand as she delivered Logan's gifts. She then left without saying anything.
I stared at her back suspiciously. I had never seen her in the Wildfire pack. My gaze shifted to the small bottle containing a dark blue liquid.
Aconitum potion.
A potion that induces a false death in whoever drinks it, making their heart appear to stop beating for just two days.
It’s extremely rare.
My heart was pounding.
The phone on the bedside table rings. It’s a call from Alpha Asher.
I rush to answer it.
“Miss Klein, have you received the Aconitum potion?”
“Yes. I received it from a maid.”
“Good. Your fake identity has also been prepared. Your death will be staged during the Moonlight Birth Fest.”
