I slowly wiped away the tears from my eyes and looked up at the gray window.
Perhaps the only consolation was that both Garrett and I had finally gained our freedom.
While I was lost in thought, Garrett’s call came through.
“Aria, you went running to Grandpa to tattle on me again, didn’t you? You completely ruined the rare alone time Scarlett and I had together.”
“I’m warning you—if you dare pull this shit again, I’ll cut off your mother’s treatment payments!”
In the past, I would have humbly explained and apologized to Garrett.
I would have done everything possible to earn his forgiveness.
But now, I just said indifferently, “Do whatever you want.”
Garrett seemed surprised by my cold attitude.
But soon, he let out another cold laugh.
“I heard the baby was born. Having a child really gives you confidence, doesn’t it?”
“But don’t forget—I’m the next Alpha of Shadowmoon Pack. As long as you’re still here, I have plenty of ways to torment you.”
I closed my eyes.
I had experienced Garrett’s methods before.
The first time I caught him cheating, I naively went to the Alpha for justice.
What I got was Garrett’s insane retaliation.
Using my mother as leverage, he punished me by making me walk hundreds of miles in the freezing night to buy his favorite breakfast from a specific café. Since I was pregnant and couldn’t shift into wolf form, and he forbade me from using any other transportation, I could only struggle through a ten-hour walk.
