However, during an attack by rogue wolves, Melissa miscarried while protecting orphans, resulting in a loss of her fertility. Despite her efforts to conceive again, Liam comforted her by expressing his belief that they would eventually have a child. However, Melissa discovered that Liam and his Beta were secretly planning for Vicky to be a surrogate to ensure an heir for the pack.
