At the word pup,Lyra finally flicked her hand.
The crowd parted,she walked toward me slowly,amused,like approaching a dying animal.
Her gaze dropped to the blood pooling beneath me.
“Want me to save him?” she asked lazily.
“Then kneel.”
The world blurred.
I bit my lip so hard I tasted iron.
Then I forced my broken body forward and fell to my knees.
Over and over,I lowered my head.
Each time,my vision dimmed.
Each time,pain exploded through my spine.
I no longer cared about pride，or dignity.
I only saw his face in my mind.
The Alpha.
The night he pressed his forehead to my stomach and whispered:
“This little one… saved me too.”
“You’re not just my Luna.”
“You’re my future.”
And this child…was our future.My life.My entire world.
“I’ll do anything,” I choked.
“I’ll give you anything… just save him…”
My forehead struck stone.
Blood dripped down my face.
Again.And again.
Only then did Lyra burst into delighted laughter.
“So you really care about this bastard,” she said gleefully.
“Good.Then I’ll let him meet you.Face to face.”
She turned,picked up a heavy silver blade from a table nearby.
My body went cold.
She walked back toward me slowly.Like death itself.
“Don’t…” I whispered, shaking.“Please…”
Before I could finish,she kicked me flat onto my back.
The cold stone slammed my spine.
Then—Agony.
White-hot.
Something tore through me.
My vision shattered.
In the haze,I saw her leaning over me…
I saw her hands…And then…
She lifted something small.
Something red.Something still.
“Oh?” she laughed.“It’s a boy.”
Silence crushed me.
Then her voice again, thick with mockery:
“Too bad,he’s already dead.”
My screams never came out,my lungs refused.
The world tilted away.
Around us, cheers erupted.
“Good riddance to a mongrel!”
“Just looking at him, you can tell his father was filth!”
“Lady Lyra truly purged the pack!”
Applause,praise,fawning voices.Like a celebration built on my corpse.
Lyra examined my dead child with satisfaction,like admiring a trophy.
Her smile was slow… twisted… pleased.
“Don’t worry,” she murmured, glancing down at me.
“I’ll find his filthy father too.And I’ll send him to join you soon.”
Then—
A sharp voice thundered from the entrance:
“THE ALPHA HAS RETURNED!”
