The Rogue is a Female Alpha novel Chapter 449

Chapter 449

Snowflakes

“We fucked last night. You should stop hoping on him. Cupid is mine.’

Finished

The words rang again and again in my head as I sat in the waiting hall, my heart sinking lower and lower until it reached the darkest depth inside me.

It stung.

No, it hurt.

No, it was more than pain.

Goosebumps shivered across my skin and I tried to swallow, only for my eyes to brim with tears.

I have experienced heartbreak before, too many times. The first was learning I did not carry Frost blood.

The second, realizing my true blood family did not want me, and never would. The third was losing my virginity in a dark alley, forcibly.

More pain followed. Layers of trauma, including the moment I discovered the man I married had cheated and lied.

But none of those pain hollowed me out the way this did.

This one came sudden, heavy, suffocating, and I tried to breathe, but I couldn’t.

He had disconnected the call so swiftly, and then my phone rang again. I believed it was him.

I hurried to answer only for a woman’s voice to speak.

It couldn’t be.

I blinked frantically, reaching to call him again, but something in my mind blanked.

I froze for a heart-stopping second, eyes fixed on nothing as background noise faded.

Chatter, laughter, every sound distorted.

I tried to grasp reality but the phone slipped from my fingers and I blinked, trying to help myself but nothing worked.

Then I turned and saw Sera sideways.

A frown creased my face, confused why she was standing at an angle, until the floor slammed into the back of my head and I realized I was the one who had fallen.

I tried to breathe but only gasped, gagged.

“Snow!” sera screamed, her voice echoing far away. “Help! Snow! Snow!”

She rushed to catch me as nurses and doctors stampeded toward us.

I tried to stay awake, not to surrender to the numbness but I couldn’t fight long.

My eyelids grew heavy. The ache in my heart unbearable.

I fluttered my eyes and the last sight a doctor kneeling beside me.

My eyelids fell, and before unconsciousness claimed me, I whispered a prayer.

Not just a prayer, a plea, and I begged the Moon Goddess to grant it.

I have never wanted too much, neither from human region nor werewolf territory.

But now, I want something. A life.

I don’t want to die.

I want to live so I can fight for who I love, for who I want.

***

It was the sound of rushing footsteps that pulled me awake.

“Snow, I want you to be honest with me. Is this the first time you’ve collapsed?”

At that question, I went cold.

“What is going on?”

“Tell her,” my father said softly, giving me strength.

“Yes. It’s the first time.”

“You must have had symptoms recently, haven’t you?”

This time, fear leaked through me.

“Symptoms of what?” I asked, searching her eyes, but she stayed quiet, waiting. I swallowed and nodded. “I zone out sometimes. I think it’s nothing serious. Just for a few seconds… minutes. It’s nothing… right?”

She didn’t answer. Instead, she opened her palm, revealing a pill.

“Do you recognize this?”

Goosebumps crawled across my skin. Panic stung my throat. I blinked hard, fighting tears.

“It’s the medication I got from… from Doctor Catina… to help me conceive. I… I went through treatment when Ares and I agreed to start a family and…”

My voice died, and this is because Mrs. Castle’s expression told me more than I ever wanted to know.

I panicked.

Slowly, she stepped back, looking at my father. His hand went cold on mine but he braced himself.

“Let’s hear it. Is she okay?”

Mrs. Castle, Seraphine’s mother took a breath, and shook her head.

“I’m sorry, Grant. Your daughter has been taking pills, overdosed, that shrank her womb. The intake has been so severe it has reached her brain and begun shrinking it as well. She must undergo surgery. One will heal her brain, the other will heal her womb. If she chooses the womb, she may bear a pup but her brain will continue shrinking, she’ll slip unconscious more often, and may eventually become brain dead, go comatose. If she chooses her brain, she will live, but she will never carry a pup.”
