“Bella really knows how to have fun. With a personality like that, she should’ve married into the fox clan instead!”
I stood in the crowd with Draco, protected within his arms. Hearing the murmurs around us, I nearly laughed out loud.
I had always wondered how Bella managed to get pregnant. Now that the truth was out about the pup having multiple fathers, it all made sense.
Bella had likely sought out several lovers within the wolf clan to increase her chances of conceiving. A shotgun fertility gamble.
But she hadn’t accounted for one red wolf with particularly dominant genes–unintentionally exposing her plan.
Was she clever or just reckless? If she wanted to take that kind of risk, why not stick to white wolves? Why go and add a red wolf to the
mix?
Jacob’s expression was black as thunder. His tists clenched tightly, and he shouted at the servants, “Bring me every wolf in the clan who bears that same crimson mark!”
Soon, four wolf beastmen were brought in. Three of them were white wolves, one was a red wolf.
When I saw the red wolf’s face, even I couldn’t help but let out a sigh. That seductive beauty could rival anyone from the fox clan.
Bella had always been obsessed with appearances. No wonder she risked everything for a night with him.
Jacob stared at the four beastmen–none of whom denied their involvement and completely lost his temper. “You stood before me and swore you’d bear me a child, and this is how you repaid me?”
Bella rose to her feet, still clutching the baby. She wiped her eyes and sniffled dramatically.
“If you hadn’t been whispering in my ear every day about how badly you wanted a child, I wouldn’t have had to take such desperate measures! If you weren’t so useless, would this child look like a red wolf?”
Her voice grew increasingly self–righteous.
“And didn’t the phoenix just say the child is yours? Isn’t that enough? The next ruler of the alliance will still come from the wolf clan. Why are you blaming me? You should be grateful!”
At her words, the leaders of the fox and dragon clans stepped forward from the crowd.
