Chapter 59

Ruby’s POV

That day was just an ordinary day for the Ravenhold Pack. Nothing special, nothing extraordinary, except for Camilla’s endless whining about her pregnancy.

I had no choice but to play the role of the dutiful older sister, sitting beside her as the healer examined her swollen belly. Camilla, dressed in a hospital maternity gown, wore a dramatic pout that made my eyes sting with irritation.

I sat next to Camilla on the wooden cot, holding her hand tightly while Maria, an older healer, prepared her concoction. The scent of herbs and dried flowers lingered in the corners of the room. Camilla took a deep breath, her eyes flickering toward me with a hint of nervousness.

“Are you okay?”

She nodded, though I could feel the slight tremor in her hand.

“Just… a little nervous,” she murmured.

I tilted my head, frowning in confusion. “This isn’t your first prenatal check–up, Camilla.”

“Still, sister. The nervousness never really goes away. I… worry about my baby’s condition,” she admitted weakly.

I placed my hand over hers, giving it a gentle squeeze while offering the most reassuring smile I could muster.

“Your baby will always be healthy. You’re a good mother, Camilla,” I said softly.

Camilla blinked, a small spark returning to her eyes.

“You really think so?” she asked quietly.

I nodded. “Yes, Camilla. So, there’s no need to worry. Trust me.”

Healer Maria approached Camilla, carrying a bowl filled with the potion she had prepared. Dipping two fingers into the mixture, she then pressed her palm against Camilla’s rounded belly. Closing her eyes, the healer began chanting an incantation.

Camilla flinched, her grip on me tightening instinctively. A few seconds passed before Maria finally smiled gently at her.

“Your baby is healthy, Lady Camilla.”

A radiant smile spread across Camilla’s face. She turned to me briefly, as if to share the joyous news, then quickly looked back at the healer.

“So… there’s no issue at all?” she asked anxiously.

“No, Lady Camilla. Everything looks perfectly fine. I can also determine the date of your delivery now,” the healer informed her.

Camilla let out a small laugh, this time twice as bright. She placed a hand over her belly, as if trying to shield the little life that would soon be born into this cruel world. However, the glow on her face slowly faded.

“But I’m finding it harder to sleep,” she whined, rubbing her stomach. “The baby keeps kicking all night.”

The healer, an older woman with weary eyes, offered her a patient smile. “That’s a good sign, Luna Camilla. A strong baby means a healthy baby.”

Camilla hummed in response, though she still looked dissatisfied. I pretended to share her concern, nodding along as if I actually cared about her sleepless nights.

“Maybe it’s the father’s genes.”

“Dominic gets restless sometimes and complains a lot,” Camilla said quickly, letting out a awkwardl laugh. “Maybe the baby will be just like him.”

I responded with nothing but a smile.

‘Do you think I’m stupid, Camilla?”

After the check–up, I helped Camilla hobble toward the Alpha’s Den, where Dominic was already waiting. The moment she saw him, her entire demeanor shifted. Her exhaustion vanished in an instant, and she threw herself into Dominic’s arms, laughing joyously.

“Dom, I missed you!” she purred, nuzzling into him.

I could barely hide my disgust as Dominic wrapped his arms around her and kissed her–right in front of me. As if I wasn’t even standing there. As if their entire existence wasn’t a slap in my face.

The guard hesitated before nodding and disappearing briefly, only to return moments later with a large box. I frowned at its sheer size.
