YVONNE —It was three o'clock in the afternoon when I heard a knock on the door, and my heart flew into my stomach.The incident about my kids has made me scared of everyone, including the Alpha. I do not trust anyone anymore.I gazed at my kids and covered them properly with a duvet in case the person who was knocking was after them. So his eyes would not go directly at them first when he entered.The knock sounded again, and I stood up to check who it was. "Who is there?" I asked, but there was no response.I paused and listened for a minute, and the person did not respond, nor did he knock again. Then I went back to the bed. However, just as I was sitting, the knock came again, this time with a coerced voice that sounded like that of Alpha Conan.I walked and opened the door with fear, and Conan immediately bagged in, shoving me away from the entrance, and I staggered."Where are my kids?" he demanded."The..there. They are sleeping," I stuttered, pointing to the bed while fear en
CONAN —It was on Tuesday morning. The body of elders was seated in my chamber. They really honoured the summons I summoned them yesterday concerning the issue of Yvonne's kids being mine.Beside me was Mom. She had insisted on being present at the DNA test, even though I opposed it. Everyone was seated, desperately waiting for the doctor who would carry out the DNA test to arrive. However, Yvonne has not come with the kids, and I am worried."What is keeping her so long, Alpha?" Elder Enzo asked with a worried look."Alpha Conan, are you really sure the kids are yours?" Elder Nicholas stated: "She might be dodging this, knowing that the kids are not yours," he added."What are you saying, Nicholas? Do you think she would wake up and just come with her kids here?" Elder Melchizedek lashed at Nicholas."What do you mean, Melchizedek? Stop defending nonsense," he added."You all should understand that she is a mother of three and needs to prepare breakfast for them and also dress them u
CONAN —"I'm sorry, ma'am, but the result could only be revealed in two days, so I will be here on Thursday to announce the result," Dr. Naty declared.I sighed in confusion and sucked in a breath. "Is that how it is being done?" I whispered to Mom."Well, I cannot tell because I have not done any," she replied.Elder Enzo stood up and walked to me. He bent and whispered to my ears, "If this is the case, then you need to do something about this." He suggested and went back to his seat.I took a deep breath and paused for some seconds, thinking of what to do. "Uhm, anyways, thank you, Dr. Naty, for honouring my summons," I said, and she let out a slight grin in response to my appreciation."I'm delighted, sir," she said."So this means that we should be expecting you in two days for the result?" I asked, and she nodded in affirmation. "Definitely, sir," she responded."Uhm, doctor. Due to some reasons, I would li
YVONNE —The days went quicker, and it was Thursday morning already. Today was the long-awaited day—the day my most important information was to be revealed.I dressed up my kids hurriedly, and we strolled to the Alpha's chamber. As we were walking, the kids could not stop asking me questions."Mommy, are you now going to confess to Uncle Conan that he is our father?" Liam asked."Liam, stop referring to him as Uncle Conan; he is our father. You should call him Dad," Kiara chipped in."Mom, what if Dad got mad at you for deceiving him? For fooling everyone," she added."Have you all forgotten that today marked two days in which the doctor mentioned that the paternity test would be out?" Amelia declared."Oh, so we are going to have the test result. Amazing," Kiara replied. "At least, Dad would know we are his kids. I love Daddy," she added.However, I did not respond to any of their questions but kept quiet as we walked.We finally arrived at the Alpha's chamber, and we walked in. Howe
YVONNE —"Uhm, I should be leaving now. So you both could have your best moment," I remarked, but Conan did as if my presence wasn't felt in the room. He completely ignored me.I sighed and stood up to leave. "Sweethearts, I will be in the room," I said to the kids, but they did not even bother to glance at me, talk more of saying a word. They were more focused on their dad, asking him a lot of questions and climbing on his body.I gulped down hard, with a hint of betrayal written over my face and pain surging through my heart. The pain of seeing my own kids ignore me. In honesty, it hits hard.Well, I could not blame them because they were just kids. They don't know what they are doing nor do they know the value of the secret I tried to hide.I let out a deep sigh and gently walked out of the chamber, heading to the guest quarters.As I arrived in my room, I slumped on the couch and burst out crying. I swear, today was the worst day of my life. Even six years ago, when I was framed an
CONAN —It was exactly the expected day—the day of my wedding with Yvonne. In honesty, I could not tell exactly how I felt. Although I knew this was a wrong move but I still proceeded to do it for the sake of my children. No child would want to be separated from his or her mother at all. Talk more of kids at my children's ages."At least I'm now familiar with her true colors—I know Yvonne very well now, unlike before, when I sees her as an angel. So no doubt I would not regret this because I will have to put her in her place if there is a need for that," I mumbled in order to wave off the thought of doubt and regret going on in my mind.I glanced at my wristwatch as I was curious why she had not shown up at the church. It was just fifteen minutes remaining before the priest brought us to the altar for vow-making and binding together.I sighed and brought out my phone to text her when I remembered I had yet to give her the phone I had collected from her."Shit!" I exclaimed. I called Ge
YVONNE —As we walked up to the altar, words could not explain exactly how I felt. I could not believe I agreed to this, accepting Conan as my mate, not to mention marrying him in church.I just wish there was a way to escape from this, but there is none. If I had rejected the proposal, then I would stand a chance of losing my precious babies to be parented by another lady who I'm certain would despise them, especially Liam, who would stand as a barrier to inheriting the throne from her own kid.One thing I had vowed not to do was let another lady raise my kids for me, and that was the reason I agreed to this. I do not want to return to the city without them."Yvonne and Conan. I'm delighted that you both have decided to wed legally and commit your marriage to the Lord. So I am asking," the priest remarked, turning to Conan."Conan, have you decided to enter into marriage without coercion, freely and wholeheartedly?" he demanded."Yeah, yes, I do," Conan replied."Good," he said, clear
YVONNE —I sighed and closed my eyes in order to calm my emotions. I could not believe what I had just heard; they were trying to play me off.Although I hated Conan, seeing him holding Zendaya in his arms was something else. Jealousy threatened to rip my heart from my chest as I watched them. At that moment, I wished I was Zendaya. I needed him to hold me that way and speak pet words to me while caressing my cheeks and curling my hair, as he was doing to Zendaya.I thought of approaching them, but I knew it would not yield any positive result but instead worsen my state because they would certainly do something that would infuriate me more.I sighed and walked back into the conference hall. I glared at my wristwatch and realized that it was already evening. It was already five o'clock. Meanwhile, most of the audience had already finished eating, and some were exiting the hall and going home.A few minutes later, Conan walked in and sat beside me. However, I threw my gaze away so I wou
