Pay Up Or Get Lost

Krista's POV:

The smile on my face froze as I looked at the female doctor in shock. The female doctor's face seemed to have changed, and she looked at me with disgust. "Your child is too noisy. I am ordering you to move out of the ward immediately."

"Why?" I held the child tightly and tried my best to argue with the female doctor, "You have no reason to do this."

"Because you haven't paid the fees for your ward." The female doctor threw a stack of bills at my face and said disdainfully, "Either pay up or get lost."

The child in my arms was still wailing, making me cry as well. I was once the pack's future Alpha, but now I'd been reduced to a stray dog, bullied at will.

I bit my lip and slowly moved out of the bed with the child in my arms. I could feel the female doctor's disdainful gaze and see the people in the same ward pointing at me. They were all talking about me getting pregnant before marriage, saying I was indecent, and so on...

The physical pain was far less than the mental humiliation. The nurse led m to a corridor filled with unpleasant smells.

"Alright, you can find a place here to stay." The nurse covered her mouth and nose, said casually, and left me alone with the child, standing in place at a loss.

"Hey, are you new here? Come to my place. There's room for someone to sit here." While I was still in a daze, a woman with a white towel tied to her forehead waved at me enthusiastically. I nodded at her gratefully and walked over to sit beside her. I didn't know if the child in my arms was tired from crying, but his eyelids were droopy, and he didn't look very energetic. I was a little worried.

"This is your child? He's really good-looking." After a simple introduction, I learned the woman's name was Martha. Her husband died not long ago, leaving her to care for her child alone. But the amazing thing was that I couldn't see any signs of poverty in Martha. She was always happy and friendly. No matter who she was with, she would chat with them. This was the first time I had met someone like her.

"You look quite young, so I guess you don't know how to take care of a child?" Martha glanced at me and seemed to have guessed something. However, she didn't look at me strangely like the others. Instead, she taught me how to hold the children to make them comfortable. She also told me what would happen when the children cried and how to deal with them. I learned a lot from her.

Seeing my serious expression, Masha couldn't help but smile. Her smile was infectious, and I couldn't help but smile. This was a rare moment of relaxation after I was exiled.

Under Martha's guidance, I clumsily fed the baby milk and learned how to change diapers. The baby looked energetic again. He looked around curiously with his round eyes.

"Oh, I just realized that your child's eyes are blue. They're so pretty." Martha looked as if she had just discovered a new world.

My body stiffened. My eyes were light brown, so it was evident whom the child's eyes had taken after. Blue eyes were very rare in the Blue Moon Pack. I turned my body to block Martha's view of the child and smiled uncomfortably. "Oh? Thanks for the compliment."

Martha was very understanding and didn't ask about the child's eyes. Instead, she told me about her situation. Her son had just been born, and although she had been compensated for his accidental death, it was far from enough for the mother and son to live.

"I plan to leave this place and go to the Dark Blood Pack." Martha's eyes glowed as she talked about her plans. "I heard that the Dark Blood Pack has a special place for refugees and gives them a chance. There is no discrimination or brutal competition there. It is a place that all werewolves yearn for."

I was stunned. Is the Dark Blood Pack that Martha mentioned the Dark Blood Pack I knew? Wasn't the Dark Blood Pack's werewolves cold-blooded and murderers?

Before I could ask my question, the person beside Martha said, "That's right, I'm also going to the Dark Blood Pack in a while. Blue Moon Pack's development has worsened in recent years. "I heard that the newly appointed Alpha is called Serena... As soon as she took over, she issued new rules to rectify the werewolf class and reduce the number of exiles and Omega. At first, I thought that a good Alpha had succeeded, but I heard from the people in the west district that the new Alpha's rectification was to capture the exiles and Omega and throw them to the mines and construction sites to work for free. She claimed she would pay them, but only a few people received the pay, and many people died."
