Chapter 1

My beta mate, Kyan, got injured in a rogue attack and lost his memory.

He forgot about me, pregnant with his pup, and marked another she-wolf, Gamma Evelyn.

Kyan claimed Evelyn was his true mate, saying an omega like me wasn't worthy of him.

As he wished, I ended our mate bond.

Later, at my bonding ceremony with the Alpha King, Kyan's eyes reddened. "You're marrying someone else with my pup?"

I touched my flat stomach and replied calmly, "Of course not. Your pup is gone."

On the day of my prenatal checkup, my beta husband, Kyan, didn't show up.

He chose to pick up his ex-girlfriend, Evelyn, and bring her back to the pack instead of going with me to the hospital.

On their way, rogues attacked them.

When I rushed to the packhouse, worried, I caught Kyan kissing Evelyn passionately.

"Kyan, what are you doing?" I couldn't believe it.

My mate, who once swore loyalty to me before the Moon Goddess, betrayed me!

"Who are you? I don't even know you,"

Kyan said, staring at me blankly. I soon learned from the pack doctor what happened.

Kyan got a head injury during the rogue attack and lost his memory.

I was stunned. "How could this happen?"

Kyan remembered everyone except me, his pregnant mate.

Evelyn tried to comfort me, but her tone was sharp. "Sweetheart, you can't imagine how terrifying it is to face rogues. After all, you're just an omega who can't do anything."

"I'm marking Evelyn. She's the she-wolf who saved me on the battlefield," Kyan declared.

"I was the one who saved you," I said, my heart breaking.

"Don't lie, Violet. You're just a lowly omega. How could you possibly save me?" Kyan's gaze was full of disgust. "Even if I was blind back then, I'd know it was a strong she-wolf like Evelyn who helped me!"

I never told Kyan that our first meeting was on the battlefield.

He got injured in the eyes, and I shifted, carrying him across the snowy mountains to a healer for help.

I didn't want him to love me just out of gratitude.

But now, Evelyn took credit for my actions and was stealing my mate!

I couldn't accept this.

To help Kyan remember me, I ignored the discomfort of early pregnancy, traveled across the five packs, sought every wolf healer, and even turned to a witch.

When I returned to the packhouse with a hard-earned potion, I overheard Kyan talking to his friend Boris. "Kyan, you didn't lose your memory. Why not just reject Violet outright?"

"Violet would never accept rejection. She's too vain, clinging to her place in the beta's house. Faking amnesia is the only way to get rid of her," Kyan replied.

Boris warned, "She's carrying your pup."

"Evelyn got injured saving me on the battlefield and can't have pups. Violet's lowly omega blood might taint my pup, but if we take it, Evelyn will raise it to be a fine heir," Kyan said.

His words stabbed my heart like a knife. "Once Violet gives birth, she'll be banished from the pack."

I felt the world spin and covered my mouth to keep from vomiting.

Kyan revealed how he and Evelyn rekindled their romance behind my back.

I realized they'd been together for years.

Kyan often used pack business as an excuse to sleep with her, promising to bring her home if she got pregnant.

But Evelyn couldn't have pups.

So they targeted my womb.

Kyan didn't love me anymore. He just wanted me to bear a pup for him and Evelyn.

I don't know how I managed to stay silent and leave the packhouse without a sound.

I pulled out my phone and dialed my brother's number, which I hadn't called in ages. "Carlos, I regret it. Take me home..."

Before I heard a reply, sharp pains shot through my stomach.

Pain and panic drained my strength, and my phone crashed to the ground.

I looked down as warm crimson spread across my white dress, staining it red.
