Chapter 798

Judy’s Perspective

“Wait, my mother was a rogue?” I whispered, my chest tightening painfully as a knot twisted deep in my stomach. I glanced between my mother and father, noticing the sorrow etched in their eyes. Tears shimmered in my mother’s gaze, as if the memory was resurfacing with fresh ache. It had been over twenty-three years since those dark days, yet the pain lingered. I knew my mother was unable to have children, but her sadness seemed to stem from something far more profound—something buried deep within.

“She was,” my father finally spoke, his voice heavy with emotion. “And before she left, she gave your mother and me a precious gift…”

A cold weight settled over me. “She didn’t want me…” I murmured, the words tasting bitter on my tongue. She wasn’t dead. She wasn’t forced to give me away. No, it was simpler—and crueler—than that. She simply didn’t want me.

“Oh, darling,” my mother said softly, reaching out to gently clasp my hand in hers. “She was so young, so lost. A rogue without a home, drifting from one place to another, none of them safe or kind. We spent a lot of time talking while she was in labor. Once she began to trust us, she shared more about her troubled past.”

“And what was it like?” I asked, my voice tinged with bitterness I couldn’t hide.

“She fell pregnant by a rogue she loved deeply. Her parents were controlling, cold, and cruel—rich and snobby, but utterly heartless. They treated her like little more than property. Her birth father, the only person who ever showed her genuine affection, had died when she was very young. Afterward, her mother remarried a man who already had children.”

My mother paused, gathering her thoughts as I sat silently, my heart pounding in my throat.

“Your mother, Meg, never got along with her stepsiblings—especially her stepbrother, who was older and vicious. She didn’t say much about him, but I could tell she feared him more than anyone else in her life. She tried to escape several times, but the last time she ran, she met a rogue boy her age. She fell in love with him almost immediately. But her family found her and dragged her back home.”

Tears welled up in my mother’s eyes again, and I fought the urge to reach out and comfort her. Instead, I stayed quiet, desperate to hear the rest of the story.

“She discovered she was pregnant a month later. Her family was furious—they threw her out. She left to find your father. They found each other and planned to run away together, to raise the baby far from her family’s control. But before they could escape, they were caught. Your father was killed by her family’s men.”

My heart shattered at her words, an icy shock ripping through me.

“My father… killed by my mother’s family?” I gasped, barely able to breathe.

“They dragged her back home,” my mother whispered, tears streaming freely now. “They were so cruel—so merciless. They demanded she either have an abortion or lose the baby. But your mother refused. She didn’t want to lose you. She knew your father would never have wanted that. He dreamed of a family, of you, and was willing to sacrifice everything to protect you.”

My mother’s voice trembled as she continued. “Eventually, Meg met an older woman who offered her a way out. She had a carriage loaded with goods, heading to another territory, and she offered Meg a ride. It was her only chance, so she took it.”

“She hid for days and nights, traveling in secret. When they finally reached the new land, she lived as a rogue in the shadows, always afraid her family would find her. Rumors spread that they were searching for her, and she feared they’d discover you too. She couldn’t settle down in a pack or trust anyone. She avoided Alphas and other pack members, surviving on scraps, always hiding. Her life wasn’t her own. She lived in constant fear, knowing her family wouldn’t stop until they found her—and you.”

I swallowed hard, my throat tight with emotion. I stared down at my hands, trembling as I tried to steady my fingers.

“Then, she went into labor and ended up in the hospital where we met her,” my mother said softly. “She loved you so much, Judy. She wanted nothing more than to keep you safe. But she knew the life she led wasn’t the life you deserved. She couldn’t have you running from danger your whole life, living in fear as she did. She wanted something better for you—only the best.”

I listened, hanging on every word.

“When she gave birth, she held you for the first time, tears streaming down her face as she kissed your tiny cheeks. The love she had for you was fierce and unbreakable. She told me you looked so much like your father, and she was overjoyed that you were healthy, safe—for now. But she knew the moment she left that hospital with you in her arms, your safety would be gone…”
