Chapter 798<\/p>\n
Judy\u2019s Perspective<\/p>\n
\u201cWait, my mother was a rogue?\u201d 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\u2019s 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\u2014something buried deep within.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe was,\u201d my father finally spoke, his voice heavy with emotion. \u201cAnd before she left, she gave your mother and me a precious gift\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
A cold weight settled over me. \u201cShe didn\u2019t want me\u2026\u201d I murmured, the words tasting bitter on my tongue. She wasn\u2019t dead. She wasn\u2019t forced to give me away. No, it was simpler\u2014and crueler\u2014than that. She simply didn\u2019t want me.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, darling,\u201d my mother said softly, reaching out to gently clasp my hand in hers. \u201cShe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd what was it like?\u201d I asked, my voice tinged with bitterness I couldn\u2019t hide.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe fell pregnant by a rogue she loved deeply. Her parents were controlling, cold, and cruel\u2014rich 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
My mother paused, gathering her thoughts as I sat silently, my heart pounding in my throat.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour mother, Meg, never got along with her stepsiblings\u2014especially her stepbrother, who was older and vicious. She didn\u2019t 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tears welled up in my mother\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe discovered she was pregnant a month later. Her family was furious\u2014they 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\u2019s control. But before they could escape, they were caught. Your father was killed by her family\u2019s men.\u201d<\/p>\n
My heart shattered at her words, an icy shock ripping through me.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy father\u2026 killed by my mother\u2019s family?\u201d I gasped, barely able to breathe.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey dragged her back home,\u201d my mother whispered, tears streaming freely now. \u201cThey were so cruel\u2014so merciless. They demanded she either have an abortion or lose the baby. But your mother refused. She didn\u2019t 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
My mother\u2019s voice trembled as she continued. \u201cEventually, 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
1\/3<\/p>\n
\u201cShe 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\u2019d discover you too. She couldn\u2019t settle down in a pack or trust anyone. She avoided Alphas and other pack members, surviving on scraps, always hiding. Her life wasn\u2019t her own. She lived in constant fear, knowing her family wouldn\u2019t stop until they found her\u2014and you.\u201d<\/p>\n
I swallowed hard, my throat tight with emotion. I stared down at my hands, trembling as I tried to steady my fingers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen, she went into labor and ended up in the hospital where we met her,\u201d my mother said softly. \u201cShe loved you so much, Judy. She wanted nothing more than to keep you safe. But she knew the life she led wasn\u2019t the life you deserved. She couldn\u2019t have you running from danger your whole life, living in fear as she did. She wanted something better for you\u2014only the best.\u201d<\/p>\n
I listened, hanging on every word.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen 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\u2014for now. But she knew the moment she left that hospital with you in her arms, your safety would be gone\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n
The revelation of my mother\u2019s past, filled with pain, sacrifice, and fierce love, settled over me like a heavy, bittersweet shroud. Despite the cruelty she endured and the danger that shadowed her every step, her love for me shone through, unyielding and pure. It was a love that had driven her to protect me at all costs, even if it meant living in the shadows and giving me up to safety. In that moment, I understood the depth of her strength and the sacrifices made to build a life where I could one day find peace.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
As the story unfolded, the fragile threads of family, loss, and resilience wove together into a tapestry of hope amid heartbreak. Though the past was marred by darkness, it was also illuminated by the enduring power of love\u2014a love that had built a kingdom from ashes, a kingdom that still remembered and cherished the promise of safety and belonging. This knowledge, though painful, became a foundation upon which I could begin to heal and embrace the legacy of those who had fought for me in silence.<\/p>\n
