“When will the physician arrive? Unease made my voice tremble slightly.
Obsidian sat by the bedside, his eyes fixed on me: “He’s on his way. Don’t worry, no matter what happens, I’m here with you.
His presence has brought me a great sense of calm.
When the Shadow Wolf Clan’s exclusive physician pushed through the door, the atmosphere in the room instantly became tense.
The physician gently placed his hand on my abdomen and closed his eyes.
After a few seconds of silence, the physician suddenly opened his eyes, his expression shifting from serious to shocked, then to pure joy.
“Congratulations! You’ve been pregnant for two months!”
He paused for a moment, as if confirming something incredible.
“The wolf pup will be born on the next full moon!”
“What?!” I nearly jumped out of bed. “I’m giving birth after only two months? How is that possible?” In my previous life, I was pregnant for a full eight months. This defied all logic.
The physician replied: “Your constitution is… extremely special. Not only can you perfectly adapt to the Shadow bloodline, but more importantly…”
He looked at Obsidian, as if seeking permission.
“Speak. Obsidian said in a low voice.
“The Shadow Wolf Clan’s reproductive mechanism is completely different from other clans–the pregnancy period is extremely short, but requires a special lunar environment. However…” The physician’s expression became serious again. “To ensure safe delivery, we need one thing.”
Obsidian immediately grasped my hand: “What is it? Whatever it is, I’ll provide it.”
‘Moonstones. At least three of the purest moonstones.”
Moonstones. I certainly knew what those were–the rarest temporal minerals on the entire continent, each worth half a kingdom.
‘I’ll prepare them.” Obsidian’s voice showed no hesitation, as if he were talking about roadside wildflowers rather than priceless treasures.
When Obsidian led me into the Nightshade Wolf Clan’s secret treasury, I finally understood what “shocking” meant.

Reborn: The Exiled Alpha’s Queen
Deep underground, the really were embedded with courless temporal crystals, the emite space flickering with mathinte hate the mandib z vou probably put even Father’s royal treasury to shame.
Obsidian opened the vault, and three moonstones lay quietly on silk cushions, each radiating energy in pure it was breathtaking.
These moonstones will strengthen the spiritual bond between you and the wolf pup. The value of one… is enough to by an entire city Bilt for your valets I wouldn’t hesitate to give up this entire treasury.”
I remembered my previous life, when Diaconius was so stingy he had to calculate every basic pain relief herb.
But now, Obsidian was willing to spend a fortune on three moonstones without a second thought.
“But… I was somewhat confused. ‘Wasn’t the Nightshade Wolf Clan exiled? Everyone says you’re destitute.”
Obsidian smiled: ‘Being exiled is our greatest protection. While other clans busy themselves fighting over surface power, we’ve already controlled the true
source of wealth.
He pointed toward the depths of the treasury: “Mineral extraction and cross–continental trade are entirely monopolized by us. Let them think we’re poor.”
Looking at this underground treasury before me, I finally understood why Obsidian never cared about others‘ mockery and contempt–when you possess the
continent’s most precious wealth, external prejudice becomes the best protective cover.
A week later, the Moon Goddess festival was destined to be anything but peaceful.
As Obsidian and I walked into the incense–filled temple, Rosalind’s voice cut through the air like a shrill bird call.
*Look, these are the Flame Wolf Clan’s specially made pregnancy pills!” She held up a golden box high. “And these flame essences–all priceless treasures!”
Priceless treasures? Those things combined probably weren’t worth a fraction of a single moonstone.
Rosalind had clearly gotten pregnant again. She and Draconius had restored their loving couple appearance, as if the previous betrayal and pain had never
happened.
When Rosalind noticed me: “Sister! What a coincidence meeting you here.”
Her gaze fixed on my slightly swollen abdomen like a venomous snake: “Oh, it looks like sister has good news‘ too?”
“Yes,” I replied.
‘Father’s birthday banquet is coming up, remember to prepare an appropriate gift, Rosalind’s tone was full of provocation. “Although you chose that exiled
clan, you shouldn’t embarrass Father in front of everyone, should you?”
Obsidian instantly stepped forward: “Watch your words.”
I’m just showing sisterly concern,” Rosalind retreated with feigned innocence, but the malice in her eyes became even more obvious. “After all, everyone
knows the Nightshade Clan’s ‘conditions.‘ I’m just worried it might affect the child’s… development.”
I chuckled softly: “Don’t trouble yourself with worry. My child will be perfectly healthy.”
Before long, my father’s birthday arrived. On that day, Rosalind and I sat respectively on either side of him, and her self–satisfied demeanor was utterly
repugnant.

It seems we alsters to think alike, she said while stroking her abdomen. “But don 1 Forry, sister, my child should be barnestir. What rug fin grandson, hell surely be especially delighted
I offered no response, merely waiting in silence for the banquet to conclude.
Suddenly, strange phenomena appeared in the sky. A silver halo surrounded the full moon, and the moonlight became imprecedentedly bright
At that moment, excruciating pain tore through my abdomen. Almost simultaneously, Rosalind let out a cry of agony.
“My God! This is the omen of Twin Moon Night! someone in the great hall exclaimed. “The children born tonight will surely change the fate of the entire world!
Obsidian instantly swept me into his arms: “Evangeline!”
