“Mommy, where is Daddy?”

“I miss Daddy.”

It was my daughter’s last words that would haunt me until the end of time. As my poor daughter passed away, she was still thinking of her own murderer her own father!

I, Adrianne Cordon, had no idea how long it had been until my faithful maid, Lily, begged me to stop standing by my dear daughter. My little girl, Marianne Black, laid beautifully on her bed. That girl had left this world.

But her final words would always haunt me.

“Mommy, where is Daddy?” she asked as she held me tightly.

The little girl said to me, “I miss Daddy.”

The only thing I could say to her was nothing but a lie. It really broke my heart beyond belief. My beautiful daughter looked at me, expecting an answer. So, I had no choice but to spout more and more lies.

“Daddy is coming here to meet you, sweetheart. So, be a good girl, okay?” I said, trying to console my dying daughter.

Again, I lied to my daughter. I would regret that very moment. After all, her father never came. In fact, Marianne never saw her father until her last breath as the Moon Priestess gave my daughter her last rite.

On the other hand, my husband, the Alpha of the Black Ebony Pack, decided to stay with his mistress, Olivia Smith, a barmaid in the tavern close to the outside of our pack territory, for a week in their luxurious mansion. While I was heartbroken, I knew that I couldn’t give up for my daughter’s sake. It was the last thing I could do.

Yet, this was the final straw for me. Last week was the catalyst for everything that happened. Jeremy got upset because his mistress, Olivia, had accused my own daughter of stealing her diamond ring. As usual, Jeremy believed her lies. He punished our daughter for staying outside despite the terrible rainstorm that hit our pack for the past few weeks. Despite my many pleas, the Alpha would not listen to me.

When Marianne started to cough more often, Jeremy told our pack doctor to take care of her while he was going to comfort his mistress. Unfortunately, it was way too late. Marianne was beyond saving.

I didn’t remember how many times I tried to tell Jeremy through our mindlink until he responded. His first words were like a dagger, stabbing deeply through my heart.

"Can you make it quick? I’m busy with Olivia here."

That was the first thing he said to me through the mindlink. It really made me angry, but there was nothing that angered me more after that as I heard another shrieky voice that I knew very well. The mistress’ voice was heard from the mindlink.

Olivia arrogantly said from my husband's mindlink, Oh, please don’t blame her, Alpha! I’m so sorry, Adrianne. We’re just having a very good time together."

After that, I could hear her loudly moan as if she wanted to show that she was the favorite woman. Yet, that mistress had no idea that I was immune to it after years of listening to it while I was trying to talk through the mindlink with my husband. Instead, what broke my heart was the fact that my late daughter’s father seemed not to care about his own daughter.

This was his daughter who died. His daughter still thought of her own father who was this man. I couldn’t help but grit my teeth. My whole body was hot with anger. Frankly, I never felt like this. It seemed that I was done with these two’s actions.

Their actions had taken Marianne’s life. This was truly unforgivable!

"Let’s sever our mating bond," I coldly told the man from the mindlink.

For a while, I heard nothing. Several minutes later, I could feel that the Alpha was raging. Clearly, I had humiliated him before his mistress.

He angrily shouted from the mindlink, "How dare you try to humiliate me like that!"

"So be it then! But that little girl will be with me! You’ll be a rogue, Adrianne! I’ll make sure of that," he continued with a very icy tone through the mindlink he used when he was really mad.

I calmly responded to him in the mindlink, "Good. I don’t care about it anymore. This marriage is nothing but a sham."

From his mindlink, I could hear Olivia gasp. Still, I could sense that she was excited from her tone even if she tried to conceal it. After all, I could see through her lies. Unlike my husband who was blinded by lust for his mistress.

"How dare you say that to me? You’ll be dead, Adrianne! I’ll make sure you and Marianne will be punished severely for humiliating me like this before my Olivia!" he angrily shouted back at me through the mindlink.

Just like that, Jeremy ended our mindlink. That was expected when the Alpha was with his mistress. It happened so many times. Still, this time was different. It was his own daughter who died!

The moment Marianne stopped breathing was the moment I also died. My whole body felt numb. Yet, there was one thing that I felt. It was rage.

“Marianne!” I shouted from the top of my lungs in agony.

The whole pack became quiet. It was as if they all were in mourning with me. Even the Moon Goddess pitied me as the bright, clear sky quickly turned into black. A lightning storm had come upon the Black Ebony pack as if it described the feeling I had.

While Jeremy was still frolicking with his mistress, I arranged the funeral for my daughter. The Black Ebony pack members who sympathized with me attended the funeral. Most of them were smallfolk, not nobles. They were maids, cooks, and servants in the castle. They all knew how wonderful, lovely, and bright Marianne was, just like me. They were all grieving this angel with me.

Just like me, they were crying silently. My beautiful Marianne was gone like that. How could someone so pure like my angel die in vain? There was no way I could forgive this! I had to avenge my daughter! I had to!

Per the Ebony Pack’s tradition, the royal family would be cremated when they died. As I was sending my daughter off before her body was being burnt, I looked at my little angel for the last time and kissed her forehead as I usually had when she cried.

“We’ll meet again, dear Marianne. I promise you, sweetheart. I’ll avenge your death,” I whispered to her lifeless body as I sent her tiny body to the royal incinerator.

As the fire started to swallow my late daughter’s body, I knew that I had to sever my bond with Jeremy for good. For years, I endured being humiliated by that man for my daughter. Every night, I always thought of ending my life.

Nonetheless, Marianne would stop me. Her bright smile made me survive this harsh pack. But she was no longer here. So, what was the point of holding back? Since my daughter was no longer on this earth, why would I need to embarrass myself more?

I made a promise to myself as I angrily shouted in my mind, Jeremy, Olivia, I’ll make sure that you two will pay the price for Marianne’s death!

The memory lane brought me to the moment I met my husband, Jeremy. I could still remember everything very well. The moment when my pack, the Emerald Sky Pack, was suddenly attacked by the rogues. My parents, Alpha Thomas Cordon and Luna Lilianne Cordon, were brutally murdered in the sudden attack.

Sadly, the same unfortunate thing happened to the rest of the pack members. I was the only survivor from my pack. My wolf, Lucia, helped me to kill the last of the rogues, including the leader.

Unfortunately, my poor wolf became very weak to the point where I couldn’t even awaken her for months. Eventually, I spent a couple of months living quietly within the remnants of my pack. It was heartbreaking to see what was supposed to be a fertile land filled with happiness turned out to be the most harrowing thing that made the other packs refuse to come here.

Just when I thought that I had lost the meaning of life, Jeremy came into my life. I still remembered the exact moment when my blue eyes met his steely grey gaze for the first time as I warily asked him, “Who are you?”

“I’m Jeremy Black, the Alpha of the Black Ebony Pack. And you?” he calmly asked.

“I’m Adrianne Cordon from the Emerald Sky Pack. I’m the daughter of the late Alpha Thomas Cordon and Luna Lilianne Cordon,” I answered weakly, but I still stayed vigilant as I didn’t know the man before me very well.

“So, were the other packs not helping?” he asked me again.

“Well, I’m the only survivor. That should say something, right?” I responded to him as I kept looking at him while I was holding the silver dagger tightly.

After that, the Alpha chuckled. The blackhaired man slightly grinned as he approached me. His hands stroked my face gently, making me meet his gaze again.

“You’ve made a strong impression on me, Adrianne. No one dares to hold a silver dagger on my presence. Yet, you dare to do that. I like you. Let me help you,” he said as his gaze looked at me intensely.

“Can I really trust you?” I questioned the man.

He chuckled as he replied to my question, “That’s up to you.”

That was when I realized how I fell head over heels for this man. I hated to admit it, but there was a time in my life that I saw Jeremy as my savior. The Alpha rescued me when I was about to end my life.

For a while, he was my knight in shining armor. I made a stupid move by agreeing to marry him the moment he asked for my hand. Yet, it was a warm moment that I would hold dearly in my heart. I still remembered the moment the Moon Priestess married me to the Alpha when the man brought me to the Ebony Pack to live with me.

“Do you, Jeremy Black of the Black Ebony Pack, agree to be the mate of Adrianne Cordon of the Emerald Sky Pack?” the Moon Priestess asked Jeremy.

“I do,” he said as he stared at me with gentleness I never knew he had in him.

Then, the Moon Priestess looked at me and asked, “And do you, Adrianne Cordon of the Emerald Sky Pack, agree to be the mate of Jeremy Black of the Black Ebony Pack?”

“I do,” I told the Moon Priestess.

Everything felt as if I was on top of the world. It was not until Olivia came into the picture. She managed to get my husband hooked. The moment I found out that I was pregnant was the moment I found out Jeremy had an affair with Olivia. I could still recall how heartbroken I was when I found out about it.

However, I managed to stay because I was pregnant with Marianne. Besides, I had nowhere else to go. Whether I liked it or not, the Black Ebony Pack had become my home even though the nobles never considered me as their Luna because I was an outsider. Instead, they were encouraging my husband to spend more time with Olivia, whom they considered as part of our pack.

There were countless nights that I spent weeping when Jeremy said that he would stay with his mistress. Every time I confronted him, the Alpha would get mad at me.

“You were fucking useless bitch! See? You’re nothing but a burden! Don’t you ever block me from meeting my one true love!” he shouted at me as he left me again for his mistress.

'How dare he! He preferred to stay with that bitch over his own child!' Lucia, my wolf, cursed my husband angrily.

In fact, my wolf got so mad that I shifted into my wolf form when I was giving birth to Marianne. No werewolves were supposed to shift into their wolf form when they were giving birth as it would harm the baby. I caused my poor Marianne to be a weak one. It was a very grave mistake that made me cry nights and nights because I was the cause of it.

As I held my beautiful daughter, whom I named after my grandmother, I cried while I gently whispered to her tiny ears, “I’m sorry, my baby. It was my fault for making you weak.”

After I gave birth to my weak daughter, Jeremy visited me even less. To him, I was nothing but a failure because I only gave birth to a daughter instead of a son who would be able to inherit the pack. While Olivia was being showered with attention nonstop from my husband, the man ignored me as if Marianne and I never existed.

However, Jeremy started to show attention to his daughter as the elders from his council pitied me and our daughter. It all happened when we were having a banquet with the elders, discussing about a possible alliance with the White Fangs Pack.

“I must go to Olivia. She misses me,” he said as he brushed me off coldly.

“You should go then if you want to risk losing an alliance with the White Fangs Pack,” I told him, speaking for the first time since I discovered his affairs with Olivia.

“How dare you talk back like that!” he shouted at me.

But he stopped before he could take things further as the elders watched him with their hawk eyes as if they were trying to warn him. Even though my husband was the Alpha, he still had to respect the elders who helped him bring the Black Ebony Pack to greater glory. So, the man eventually began controlling his behavior around me and paid more attention to Marianne.

It was the very one thing that I could take pride in. I was still the pack’s Luna even if it was on paper only. Olivia might own Jeremy’s heart, but she had no voice. Furthermore, I gave good advice that helped the pack to expand. Hence, the elders favored me slightly.

Frankly, I didn’t really care about the elders. They definitely just wanted to use my daughter as a pawn while pretending to be honorable. Still, I was thankful because the elders advised my estranged husband to create a political marriage for Marianne to save her. At the very least, they still cared enough about my daughter.

In the end, it didn’t matter. My dear Marianne still died. She would no longer come back into this world. At the end of the day, I still lost someone who helped me survive this cruel life.

My hatred toward Jeremy, Olivia, and those nobles became so intense that my wolf couldn’t stop howling. They were all monsters that would pay the price no matter what, especially Jeremy. I already made up my mind to one goal. I wanted that man to suffer as badly as me.

Jeremy didn’t deserve to live happily with his mistress just like that. In fact, he wasn’t even worthy of being called a father, much less of a husband. He was truly a monster. My desire to see him suffer in agony became stronger even more every minute. Even though severing a mate bond was known to be extremely painful, I wouldn’t mind going through it.

There was no love left for Jeremy. It was nothing but revenge. The Alpha and his mistress brought me to an endless misery. From then on, my time for revenge started.

“Just wait for your death, Jeremy, Olivia!” I muttered to the black sky.

It had been three days since my daughter’s death. The maids looked very worried. They commented on how much weight I had lost and asked me to eat even a spoonful of porridge.

When I asked the servants where Jeremy was, they all went quiet. I didn’t have to ask them to talk because I already knew the answer. Not that I cared about it, but I was really angered about how indifferent he was to his daughter’s death. Did he even know his daughter died?

“If the Alpha comes back from his mistress, tell that man I’m staying at my place,” I instructed the servants who quickly nodded.

I decided to go to my cottage. Not only I was trying to calm myself down, I planned to bury my daughter here. Every time I felt that it was too hard for me, I would bring Marianne to go there. She really loved this cottage. This place brought us peace.

I brought my daughter’s ashes in a pinkcolored urn. That little girl loved pink and marigold flowers so much. She actually reminded me of myself. Again, tears fell on my cheeks.

'I will really miss you, Marianne,' I thought to myself.

Luckily, we had a little marigold garden in the place. I thought of picking the marigolds and spreading the ashes in the marigold garden. It would be a very good final resting place for Marianne.

Everything looked so perfect until I smelled someone who wasn’t supposed to be there. In fact, two people. Without me realizing it, I was growling angrily like a mad woman. Clearly, Lucia really wanted me to shift into my wolf form. But I managed to hold her as I looked at the intruders who dared to disturb my peace.

It was Jeremy and Olivia. People who murdered my daughter. How could they dare to enter what was supposed to be Marianne’s resting place? This was unforgivable!

“How dare you … to walk on this place?” I asked them as I gritted my teeth in anger.

Jeremy looked at me coldly as he shouted, “Watch your mouth! I’m the Alpha!”

When I heard what he said, I just laughed like a maniac. Both of those monsters looked shocked when I laughed at them. However, it seemed to irritate my estranged husband.

“It seems that your wife has lost her mind, dearest Alpha,” Olivia said in a mocking tone.

“Oh my goodness, how could I forget the beloved mistress here?” I sarcastically responded.

As soon as Olivia heard it, she was enraged. That woman angrily looked at my husband. Immediately, the mistress started her usual act, playing the victim. She started her fake cry as she began sniffling while hugging the Alpha’s arm.

“Alpha, we must punish your wife. She surely taught your daughter to steal my diamond ring because she’s jealous that all your eyes are on me, Alpha,” Olivia said as she cried her crocodile tears before me, which almost made me gag.

Yet, my husband foolishly was tricked with this kind of act. The man instantly got incensed as I mocked his mistress. How idiot this man could be to act really evil?

“You know nothing about Olivia, you fucking bitch! It’s your fault that Marianne stole Olivia’s diamond ring! Now, where is Marianne?” the Alpha angrily asked, demanding where our dead daughter was.

Even until now, Jeremy had no idea that our daughter died. For a moment, I felt that my heart stopped. I made a huge mistake by having him as my daughter’s father. This man was irredeemable.

'I’m so sorry for having this monster as your father, Marianne. I really regretted it,' I told myself as I firmly caressed the urn to my chest.

“What do you want with Marianne?” I asked him back with an icy tone.

“We should punish Marianne! I still haven’t seen where my diamond ring is! If I can’t find it, this cottage will be mine!” Olivia maliciously said as she glared daggers at me.

Frankly, I didn’t really care about what Olivia just said to me. The best thing to do was ignore that woman. Instead, I focused on what I wanted to say to my husband. I knew that I had to do it.

“I already made up my mind. I want us to sever our mating bond. You’re not worthy of being my husband and Marianne’s father. You’re nothing but a disappointment. I should’ve never married you or have you as Marianne’s father,” I continued to speak firmly as I looked at Jeremy with a fiery determination.

The Alpha seemed to be stunned. However, what shocked me was what happened next. That man looked very hurt.

'Why would he look very hurt?' I asked myself.

Unfortunately, for a second, everything went black. After that, blood started to drip on the ground. That was when I realized that Jeremy had slapped me to the point where my nose was. He slapped me so hard that the urn that I held also fell.

I couldn’t help but yell, “No! Don’t you dare!”

Olivia quickly realized that the urn was something important to me. Her eyes glimmered with evil intent. Instantly, I realized that she wanted to hurt me over this. But there was no way I couldn’t let it slide.

“What is that? A bright pink vase?” Olivia asked as she approached me.

Without thinking, I slapped that wretched woman’s hands. She immediately pretended to fall. I made a terrible mistake.

“What is wrong with you?” Jeremy shouted as his woman cried hard as if she was being killed.

Before I was able to respond, Jeremy pinned me over. I screamed as loudly as I could, but I knew it was useless. Meanwhile, Olivia grabbed the bright pink urn that fell from my hand.

“It’s interesting to see you’re overprotective about this ugly pink vase,” she commented.

After that, I could see her smirking as she shouted, “Alpha, this vase must be where the diamond ring is! I’ll break it.”

“No! Don’t you dare break that!” I shouted before my husband slapped me again, causing his mistress to laugh.

“Obey me! Don’t you struggle!” he commanded at me using his Alpha voice.

Since Jeremy used his Alpha voice on me, I was forced to obey his command. Although I was supposed to be his equal as I was supposed to be the heiress of the Emerald Sky Pack, giving birth had weakened my strength. Even if I told my body to stop reacting to his command, my body still followed Jeremy. My body ended up not resisting.

Initially, I wanted to shift into my wolf form. But I was unable to do that. Just like me, my wolf was also forced to obey his command. Poor Lucia whimpered sadly inside my head as if she wanted to tell me that she wanted to resist the command.

However, the next thing that happened really killed me. Olivia opened the urn’s lid and she broke the urn. The urn that held my daughter’s ashes. If only I could break free from the Alpha’s voice, I would have torn that bitch down.

Yet, here I was. I was being pinned down by my own husband who betrayed me. The man who killed our daughter to please his mistress.

Tears fell from my cheeks as Olivia broke the urn. My daughter’s ashes fell before it got swept by the wind. My memories of Marianne went as the wind swept my daughter away. It felt as if my heart was ripped apart.

“There’s nothing here!” Olivia yelled.

“Where’s my diamond ring? Alpha bought that ring for me!” the mistress continued to shout at me, demanding where her stupid diamond ring was.

I didn’t pay attention to any of them. To my shock, I was able to find power even though I was still bound by the Alpha’s voice. Jeremy seemed to be shocked as well because of what I did.

Without further ado, I pushed my own husband as I ran to Olivia. I quickly yanked her hair and slapped her. The woman staggered before she ran towards Jeremy again. But I paid no mind to it. My focus was on Marianne’s ashes.

I shouted as loudly as possible as I tried to catch the remnants of the ashes, “Nno! Nooooo! Noooo! Marianne! No, don’t leave me!”

Sadly, it was useless. The wind had brought my daughter’s ashes. There was none left for me. My daughter had gone forever because of them. How could I ever make peace with the fact that my daughter’s ashes were gone like this? I could never bid a proper farewell to Marianne! How could they be so cruel?

“You two are monsters!” I continued to yell as pointed at them in anger.

Responding to him, I yelled back with the same intensity, “How could you do this to your own daughter, Jeremy?”

“You two killed my daughter, Marianne! You do not deserve to live in this world! You’re nothing but monsters! You two will be dead!” I yelled again as I glared at each one of them angrily. But this was not enough to vent my anger. This bitch smashed my daughter's urn, making my daughter unable to rest in peace after death.

That bitch deserved to die!

The anger in my heart completely exploded when I saw the broken and sharp porcelain pieces!

I picked up a sharp porcelain piece and stabbed it towards Olivia's heart!
