Chapter 3The Alpha Only Loved My Voice

Molly POV

That afternoon, I started running a fever. Half-awake and half-asleep, I felt that indescribable pain again.

In my dream, I saw Ethan appear before my disheveled self.

He asked me if I was willing to become his mate.

I didn't agree immediately, because my biological father and mother were fated mates, but after I was born, my father despised my mother for being just an ordinary Omega and abandoned her.

I didn't understand why alpha Ethan would choose me.

We weren't even fated mates.

But later, his actions won me over.

On the day of the Marking ceremony, I told him, "I will never betray you. But if one day you betray me first, I will leave without looking back."

Even though I was just an Omega, I swore I would never let anyone have the chance to humiliate my dignity.

The dream ended. The fever made the allergic areas hot and itchy, like millions of ants crawling on my body.

Suddenly, I felt a burning sensation down there, and I realized...

The baby...

Instinctively, I dialed Ethan's number.

The phone rang two or three times before a woman's voice came through.

I knew it was Amber.

"Hello, if you have something to say, say it quickly. I just saw a kitten that got hit by a car. I don't have time to chat with you."

A sharp pain shot through my abdomen. I couldn't worry about much else and quickly said:

"Please tell Ethan I might be having a miscarriage. Tell him to come home right away."

Silence on the other end, then her careless voice came through:

"A miscarriage just proves this child doesn't belong to you. Besides, with your inferior bloodline, the child wouldn't be much use anyway. If it dies, it dies."

I clutched my stomach, wondering if I was hallucinating.

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Give the phone to Ethan. I need to talk to him!"

Amber answered carelessly:

"Molly, the miscarriage proves this child doesn't like you either. You should respect his choice."

Just as she was about to hang up, I heard Ethan's voice in the background.

I shouted in desperation, "Ethan!"

But Ethan didn't respond to me. I only heard his conversation with Amber.

"Amber, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well? Is it aftereffects?" Ethan asked urgently.

"My heart hurts so much! Ethan, maybe you should go back and talk to Molly. If something really happens to her baby..."

He listened quietly, then picked up the phone, his voice calm but cutting.

"Molly, you're infertile. How could you possibly be pregnant? Stop acting. And don't be so dramatic in the future. Amber's health is fragile. Scaring people like that could cause issues..."

I couldn't speak. The woman on the other end kept chattering, finally leaving me with this.

"I'm too busy these days to come back. Don't call me about such trivial matters."

The phone went to dial tone, but my heart kept sinking.

This villa was built halfway up the mountain, with almost no one else around.

Even the housekeeper and servants weren't nearby at the moment.

Because I couldn't mind link any of them.

After all, I was just an Omega. I couldn't cover all pack members like an alpha could.

I could only call my friend Chloe and ask her to rush over and take me to the pack hospital.

After the procedure, I was unconscious for three days and nights before waking.

Chloe said that after receiving my call, she rushed to the hospital, but it was too late. The doctor said if I'd arrived even ten minutes earlier, they could have saved the baby.

Then Chloe went out to buy me food.

I took out my phone to scroll through my feed. Less than a minute in, I saw a video Ethan had shared.

The two-minute content showed Amber advocating for the care of stray animals and cherishing life.

Below the video, Ethan commented that he fully supported her charitable work.

I gently touched my stomach. My heart had gone numb with pain, leaving only faint irony.

At Chloe's insistence, I rested two more days before being discharged.

When I returned home, Ethan still hadn't come back. I didn't care, just went to work as usual.

It wasn't until the second weekend evening that he finally came home.

When he entered, I was searching for my healer certification.

Ethan said sarcastically, "Look at you, you're just fine, aren't you?"

Before I could explain, he grabbed clothes and went into the bathroom.

Soon, a phone ringtone came from the bathroom.

Even though he lowered his voice, I could still hear his conversation with Amber:

"Yeah, don't worry, she's not pregnant. Probably just being petty. Okay, I'll listen to you and stay home tonight. When I'm not there, don't kick off your blanket when you sleep!"

I laughed quietly, pretending not to hear, and kept myself busy.

We were going to separate anyway. Let him think whatever he wanted. No explanation from me would matter.

But since he was staying home tonight, I'd need to find an excuse to sleep in separate rooms. Sharing a bed would be rather disgusting.

Just as I was thinking this, he walked into the bedroom and said, "Amber's having some trouble..."

I interrupted him. "Go check on her."

A flash of discomfort crossed his face, but finally he just said, "I'll be right back."

He didn't come back that night, and I slept dreamlessly.
