Chapter 121 A Plot Against Another Pack?
(Rose’s P.O.V.)
The elf fell in front of me, but I had no idea what had happened.
All I knew was that right after the moment I last blinked, I saw blood oozing out of her dress. God, I wanted to do something, but I didn’t know what. She looked like she was in pain – her face turned pale. I quickly crouched down to place her head on my knee. I kept calling her name to keep her awake. Even after what she had just done to me, I wasn’t going to leave her to die.
Edward rushed to the corridor to call for help. Soon, someone arrived. They placed Eve on a stretcher and ran off. I wanted to follow but when I reached the door, Edward turned to look at me.
“You stay here! It’s all your fault! Guards, watch her!”
Two guards that I wasn’t familiar with stood at the door and blocked my way. However, I still tried to walk out.
“Luna, Alpha told you to stay here, please don’t make things difficult for us.”

“What happened? What just happened?!”
Jane screamed as she rushed in, followed by Luna Taylor. Then, they saw the bloodstains on the ground. “I don’t know, Edward and I were here. Then, Eve walked in and said something strange. Then, she fell to the ground.”
“You’re not hurt, right?” Jane walked around me a few times until she was sure that I was fine.
“That’s Eve’s blood. It came from between her legs.” I was touched that Jane asked me about my condition right off the bat. I told them everything I knew as Jane helped tidy up my hair – I had forgotten that Edward had messed up my hair.
“Oh my God! Did you have an argument here?” asked Luna Taylor to me.

“Edward forced me to perform oral sex on him and I did not comply.”
I lowered my head as I said this. I knew I was not at fault. I simply felt ashamed that something like happened to me.
“He had called me ‘darling’ when he knocked on the door so I thought he had returned to his senses and willingly let him in. Obviously, he was still the strange person we’ve been dealing with. But neither of us did anything to Eve. She simply fell to the ground when blood started to flow down her legs.”
“My God!” was all Luna Taylor was able to say when she heard my words. Then, she went out as well. Jane stayed behind and looked at the pool of blood with disgust. Then, she helped me to sit on the sofa.
“That b*tch might have had a miscarriage,” said she.
“Miscarriage?”
“Yes, because she fell and lost so much blood. I don’t think the child can be saved.”
“Oh my God!” Now I was the one exclaiming this.
“Luna, you know I trust you, but I just need to ask you one last time, are you sure you didn’t touch Eve? That she fell and bled by herself?”
“Yes, Jane. I swear I never touched her, not even a single strand of her hair.”
Jane didn’t say anything else, but I saw the worry in her eyes. Then, her phone rang.

After she hung up, I quickly asked her what had happened.
“It’s Ad. He said that Dr. Baldwin did his best but was he unable to save Eve’s child. They are currently trying to induce labor so that she could expel the fetus and placenta by herself. She may only be four months pregnant but non-human races are different from humans who need nine months to complete their pregnancy. Races like us only need to complete five months before we give birth. You know about this right?”
I shook my head and subconsciously touched my stomach.
“To put it simply, it’s very dangerous for Eve to have a miscarriage at this point of her pregnancy. In human terms, she is basically having a miscarriage just a few weeks before she is due, which can really threaten her life. But I don’t think she would. Even if she did, it wouldn’t be a pity for her to die.”
“Why do you say that?”
“She came to your office for the first time and had a miscarriage? That can’t be a coincidence. Anyone else would easily assume that you had pushed her or something.”
“You’re saying that she risked her life to miscarry in order to frame me?”
My eyes widened – I couldn’t believe that there was such a mother in the world, a mother who was willing to sacrifice the life of her unborn child just to frame another person.
“You’re too na?ve, Luna. Someone like you who has so much power, figuratively and literally, it is only a matter of time someone attempted to incriminate you in their plans.”
I was speechless. Yes, when Edward pulled my hair, all I did was suppress the energy in my body. I let him drag me on the ground.
I never thought of attacking him, not before, not now, not in the future, because I loved him. I knew I was much stronger than him and could easily break him if I wanted to. His behavior lately has been breaking my heart, but none of it was enough for me to attack him.
As for the elf, her dirty words were enough to trigger my energy, but all I could do was try harder to contain it. I had promised Edward that I would never hurt anyone in the pack or their families. I’m glad I was able to stop myself before she fell.
