I looked up, stared into her eyes, and spoke calmly and firmly.
“I'm sorry, but I won't take this medicine.”
Victoria's pupils contracted. "What did you say?"
"I wanted you to take this medicine three years ago, but considering you'd just donated bone marrow to Ferris, I allowed you to recover your health first so you could bear healthy wolf pups!"
"And now you dare defy me? A bastard child actually thinks she's Silver Moon's Luna?!"
When she said "bastard child," a dull pain shot through my heart.
I bit my lip stubbornly. "I won't take this medicine. Ferris doesn't want children right now, and I respect his decision."
All these years, Ferris had always used protection during intimacy.
Even on the rare occasions when passion overcame control, he'd immediately watch me take morning-after pills.
I'd naively thought he just wasn't ready for children yet.
Now I understood—he'd never intended to have children with me.
Since I'd decided to leave, I certainly wouldn't let myself become pregnant with his child and create more complications.
"What did you say?" Victoria's voice rose sharply.
"I won't take it," I repeated.
"You've gone too far!" Victoria trembled with rage. "As Luna of the Silver Moon Pack, you can't even provide the pack with an heir!"
She immediately took the thorn whip used to punish werewolves from the servant's hands and struck me hard with it.
My whole body trembled with pain, but I still refused to give in.
Giving birth to an heir was indeed one of Luna's duties.
But I would soon no longer be Luna.
I clenched my teeth and endured the pain silently until the world before my eyes slowly turned black...
Before losing consciousness, I seemed to see Ferris rushing in anxiously.
Then, I fell into an embrace filled with the scent of pine and sage.
"If that's how it is, I'll beat you until you understand Luna's duties!"
When I woke, I found myself in a hospital bed.
I heard the chief werewolf therapist's respectful voice: "Alpha, the Luna's whip wounds are very deep. Some areas have damaged the dermis layer..."
"Use the best medicine, assign the best doctors." Ferris's voice was low and cold. "Don't let her scar."
"Yes, we'll do everything possible."
Ferris sat beside the bed, looking at me with complex emotions. "Why didn't you call for me when mother was giving you trouble?"
I remembered his focused conversation with Ashley and smiled bitterly. "I saw you were busy."
I paused, then asked softly, "If I had called, would you really have come immediately?"
"Of course." Ferris answered without hesitation.
I was stunned.
This answer was completely different from what I'd expected.
"I've handled things with the family," he continued. "No one will trouble you about children again."
"I understand." I lowered my eyes. "You should go handle your business."
"Why do you keep trying to send me away?" Ferris frowned.
“I'm sorry, but I won't take this medicine.”
