Mated by Contract to the Alphal
Chapter 198
Rebecca’s POV
Marianne looked momentarily surprised before regaining her composure. “I didn’t say that. But I must admit, Elizabeth was trained from childhood to be Luna. She understands every ritual, every tradition, every responsibility. For her, these things are second nature.
“Well, it’s unfortunate she isn’t Dominic’s mate,” I replied, my voice stoodler than I expected. “I will learn everything I need to know.”
Marianne’s expression grew serious. “Mate… that’s quite a claim, Rebecca. Some question the authenticity of such bonds, especially when one party is human.”
I felt a stab of pain at her words. “The doctors have confirmed our mate bond is genuine. Our son will be the next generation’s Alpha.”
“Your condition appears stable now,” she said coolly, her gaze sweeping over my abdomen, “but who knows how long this hybrid state will last? Perhaps the mate hond was only forced due to the pregnancy. Once the child is born…”
“Marianne,” I cut her off, my voice beginning to tremble, ‘I understand your concern for your son and family. But my relationship with Dominic isnt temporary, and our mate band wasn’t forced.”
She sighed as if exercising patience with a stubborn child. “Dear, you come from an ordinary human family. Your parents can’t even attend your wedding because they can’t comprehend our world. How can you expect to understand true power and responsibility?”
My heart rate accelerated, anger building in my chest. “My relationship with my parents has nothing to do with this.”
“On the contrary,” her voice grew sharper, “as Luna, every relationship you have concerns the pack. Your weaknesses are the pack’s weaknesses. Your wrong decisions could lead to disaster for the entire clan.”

Marianne rose as well, her pasture suddenly more imposing, emanating a powerful aura I’d never witnessed before. “For the future stability of the Silver Shadow Moon Pack, Rebecca, you should seriously consider completing the rejection ritual and leaving Dominic and the unborn child.”
My world seemed to stop spinning. I felt an unprecedented rage surge through me, my temples throbbing violently.
“You… you dare,” my voice shook, yet carried a power I’d never heard before. “You dare suggest I abandon my child and mate?”
Marianne didn’t back down, her eyes flashing dangerously, “I’m only thinking of the family. You can’t imagine the consequences if you lose control.”
child.” I stepped forward, looking directly into her eyes. “Listen carefully, Marianne. I’m warning you–don’t interfere with my family again. If you try to separate us, I promise you will never be allowed near my
Marianne’s face paled, but before she could respond, I had already turned and left the dining room, nearly colliding with the doorframe. My heart pounded like a drum, my breathing rapid, a fury I’d never experienced burning Inside me.
I burst through the mansion’s front doors, heading straight for the private garden, hoping fresh air would help me calm down. But my

anger didn’t diminish; it intensified with each heartbeat. My temples pulsed violently, and my vision began to blar.
Leaning against an ancient oak tree, I felt my legs weaken. How dare she? How dare she suggest abandon my child? Abandon Dominic? Leave this place I’d begun to call home?
Suddenly, a sharp pain spread from my spine throughout my body. I looked down at my hands in horror, watching as my nails began to sharpen into points. A primal energy flowed through me.

I looked up to see Emily running toward me, her expression alert and concerned.
