Chapter 25: Chapter Twenty Five

It was already late evening by the time I found myself walking down a familiar street. For a moment, I didn't know what I was going to do after confirming that person.

The either side of the street was filled with houses and Christmas trees. This was the same please I had been before with Aiden, but circumstances were completely different. I had come before with the entire Endoro pack to hide after the first death.

Yes, this was my hometown.

I squinted my eyes as I glanced at a familiar house. This was the place I had visited that night and was thoroughly humiliated by my own mother. A spasm of sadness spread through my heart and I lowered my eyelids to hide my expressions.

I couldn't believe my mother could do this to me. The murderer had only left a message that he would kill me, only someone like my mom wouldn't hesitate to kill her own grandchild, leaving me alive to grieve. This was an amazing way to punish me.

I had to give it to her.

I took a few breaths to calm my trembling body that was ignited due to anger, and walked toward a familiar house.

This time no one had recognised me as I sneaked inside my own pack. This was the place I grew up in, and I knew all the hidden paths that could lead me to the residence. So no one was able to realize I had come here this day.

But before I could step forward, a thought flashed in my mind. What would I say to her I couldn't just knock on her door and yell, You killed your own grandchild, didn't you

It would be extremely humiliating. I didn't want to confront her that way, she has left me no choice. Why was I even sure that she was the one who killed my child

Who else could it be other than her I was feeling desperate as I stared at her, but still hesitated.

This was my own mother. I did have a trace of affection for her in my heart. And I knew it was impossible for me to return the favor.

But what she did was equally ruthless! I couldn't let her go after this, could I I gritted my teeth and walked a step.

Just then, my phone vibrated in my pockets. I glanced at it before hanging up.

It was Aiden. Surely, he would've found my note on the table in the living room, and I could even imagine his anxious face right now. My mother left me no choice. I had to get revenge.

A dark glint flashed in my eyes as I took another two steps before the phone rang again.

I let out a frustrated grunt and picked it up.

WHERE ARE YOU! Aiden's terrified voice could be heard.

I frowned, feeling a little guilty of my actions. I should've at least told him where I was! In my hometown.

Hometown Aiden paused and waited a long time before saying anything else as if he had realised who I was going after. You mean...her

Yes.

We were both silent for a while. It felt as if even my husband couldn't believe that someone's mother could be so cruel. But when he thought about his own mom, he sighed. What're you going to do

Confront her.

And then

I pressed my lips in a thin line and didn't say anything. And then I didn't know what to do after that. I was clueless. I couldn't kill my own mother, but I couldn't let her go.

The reality was too cruel to me.

Okay, don't worry. I'm on my way there. He paused and added in a warm voice. I'll always be with you, no matter what you do.

His words sent a flush of warmth in my heart. My mood lifted a bit, but I was still swimming in the darkness of depression after losing my child. I felt like after today, my life wouldn't be the same.

Thank you. I tightened my grip against the phone and then quickly hung up the call. After the phone call, my confidence seemed to enhance. I could at least find myself to confront my mother.

Without any delay, I walked over toward a familiar pathway. Stone road had decorated the front yard of the house as light glistened beneath the porch. If you look at this house from a distance, it would look extremely normal.

But to me, this house was a place where the killer of my child lived.

And this was the same place where I grew up.

The irony of the situation was too great.

But before I could knock, someone opened the door from the inside, and I came face to face with the killer of my baby.

Instantly, the image of the night when I was assaulted flashed in my mind. That night, I hadn't seen the face of the criminal, but I knew it should be my mother. Who else had the ability to wear heels late at night

After being hit on my head, I didn't remember anything. But from what doctor had told me earlier, I could deduce what she did to have a miscarriage.

She fed me medicine forcefully and left me shivering in the cold. It was already early morning by the time Owen and Evan found me. But it was already too late. If I had been admitted to the hospital within an hour after taking that medicine, my child would've been alive.

I stayed unconscious for two days straight.

When I thought about how this lady killed my baby, my heart filled with anger. The color of my face changed to red as I glared at her furiously. Why Tell me, why We already went our separate ways that night. Then why do you still have a grudge against me!

My mom snorted. You really have to ask that question You should know the answer already. She came closer and patted my cheeks. An evil smile formed on her lips. You have humiliated my social status in my entire pack! Everyone hates me! I can't even go to social parties these days just because my so-called daughter was pregnant with a monster's child. And you have the nerve to ask why did this You made my life hellish because of that child!

So you'll just kill the child that was threatening your social status!

I became even more furious when I heard that. Instantly, changed into my wolf form, and charged at her. My child was innocent! And how did you even know I was pregnant!

Wait, thinking about it, this thing is very suspicious in itself. Since I hadn't told her about my pregnancy, there must be someone hidden in the darkness manipulating everything.

A chill rushed down my spine.

Could it be that murder…

I paled and paused before changing back to my human form. I quickly wore my clothes, and asked my mom, Wh-Who told you this

My sudden attack seemed to scare my mom. The color of her face had changed as she continued to stare at me with her widened eyes. Only when I spoke did she react and muttered a name. Alpha Sebastian. After that, she quickly walked past me and ran away from her own house.

I didn't move at all and decided to let her go. That name sounded familiar. The person who had humiliated me earlier, and Aiden had broken his arms in anger!
