Special Chapter: Kayden's POVThe more I listened to her speak, the more confused and angry I got. How could all of this have happened without my knowledge?"You bastard, I blindly trusted you and did everything I could to maintain the friendship between our packs so how could you have done such a terrible thing to my daughter behind my back? I promise, you'll pay for this." Alpha Turner raged but we all ignored him. I couldn't bring myself to believe a single word Margallo had said. She has to be lying, she definitely has to, Richard would never do something like that. I trust him completely.I waited patiently for her to finish what she was saying so I could contradict her and tell her to her face that she was lying but Elsie beat me to it."Richard, is all of what she has just said true?" Elsie questioned, her voice full of hurt. The lone tear that fell down her cheek was unmistakable.Richard desisted from saying anything which made me so angry and upset. He knows that we would al
Special Chapter: Kayden's POV"If I'd known, I would have pleaded with you to reject me because if you did, we wouldn't be in this situation today. At least she wouldn't have tried to kill you and Evelyn wouldn't have risked her life. What if Evelyn had been unable to stop you from consuming the poison? Or what if Evelyn hadn't found out Margallo's plan and tried to stop her, then what? I would have probably lost you and I would have become a widow. What would have happened to our child? Margallo in her pursuit of revenge wouldn't have stopped until she ruined our pack and it would have been all your fault. She isn't to blame, you are. And to think we're supposed to be mates, Richard, doesn't our bond mean anything to you? You know everything about me, from my bra size to the size of shoes that I wear so how could you have kept such a huge secret from me? How long did you plan on hiding it from me? I feel like I don't even know you anymore. Only Selene knows how many more things you
Special Chapter: Kayden's POV"What?!" We all chorused in shock."Yes, the child you're carrying is the product of the love that you and Richard share so I want it." Margallo simply said."You must be out of your mind if you think that I'll ever give my child to you." Richard replied."Am I? It's really a fair bargain if you ask me. You seem to have forgotten that you stole that opportunity away from me. I was pregnant with your child and what did you do? You caused me to suffer a miscarriage, I lost my child because of you and I can never forgive you for that. If you really want me to leave you all in peace, I simply ask that you give my child back to me. You can't do that right? So you should pay for making me lose my baby by giving me yours. Only then will you realize the pain I've had to endure for so long. You'll finally understand what it means to lose a child after anticipating it for so long. I want your child and that's it, so do you accept my condition?" Margallo questioned.
Special Chapter: Kayden's POVI headed towards the room where she'd given birth but a maid told me that she'd been moved to her room so I headed to her room instead.I saw that she'd woken up and it brought a smile to my face. A big wave of relief washed over me.I walked into the room casually and drew up a chair to sit beside her bed."So how do you feel now?" I questioned and she nodded with a smile. "It's honestly great and such a big relief to see that you're fine. I was so scared, I was so worried about you." I said and my eyes widened when she grabbed me in a hug which I reciprocated instantly, melting into her warm embrace.She broke the hug and blushed slightly when we heard someone clear their throat."You guys realize that I'm still here right?" Elsie asked jocularly, wanting to lighten the mood but I know how worried she must be right now.I guess she doesn't want Evelyn to find out about Margallo's request. Evelyn has already been through so much and finding out would ca
My daughter, Nevaeh, had woken me up with her tiny little cries a few hours later. I finally got to see her properly and I noticed some things about her features.Though her facial features, precisely her nose and mouth resemble mine, she has her father's green eyes and some patches of his black hair. I hope she doesn't grow up to look like him, the thought of it makes me sad but I shake it off.I breastfeed her for the first time and it feels both very exciting and ticklish. She only drinks the little milk her tiny baby belly can accept before she falls right back asleep like the sweet darling she is.I kiss her forehead and wish her a good sleep before putting her back in her crib.My stomach growls, reminding me just how long it's been since I've had anything to eat. Despite the memory of ingesting poison coming back to me as a flashback, it's unable to drive the hunger away and I decide to get myself something.Emily, who had previously been off duty because her mother had been si
What?! I almost can't believe my ears. Richard had almost hit Elsie and there was that piece about him causing Margallo to have a miscarriage when he was angry? How is that even possible? When had Margallo been pregnant? Just what is going on here? I can't handle any more of this mystery so I know it's finally time to make my presence known, they sure have a lot of explaining to do."It's OK, it'll be alright. I have to admit that Richard does find it hard to maintain self control when he's angry and that's why he tries his best not to get angry easily. He used to be violent whenever he got angry when we were younger but after a series of punishments from our father, he learnt to control his temper because he knew he was going to become a leader someday. I honestly thought he had overcome it because he's been calm for a long time. I'm sure he didn't mean to raise his hand to you, I'm pretty sure it's just the pressure that Margallo has mounted on all of us.Besides, he loves you so he
I sit on a sofa in one of the guest rooms with a pen and book in my hands and patiently wait for Margallo's arrival. It's morning and I could barely sleep last night. Elsie slept with me on my bed. She said she would feel safer as long as she stayed with me even if it meant her sleeping on the floor and I definitely couldn't have that.How could I let Luna Elsie of the Kizmet Pack sleep on the floor? It's completely unimaginable. I'd thought about the audience with Margallo all night and I was surprised to receive a reply from her saying she was ready to have a word with me. So here I am, seated and waiting. To be honest, I'm currently a nervous wreck. I know how she can be and just how mean she can get. Will she be willing to listen to me? And even if she does, what is the guarantee that she will take my advice?I won't be able to communicate with her properly and I can only wonder if she'll have the patience to at least hear me out. I wonder why she even agreed to have the audience
"Despite meeting such people, my troubles weren't nearly even over, I suffered from severe PTSD. I had nightmares which led to insomnia and severe depression, which eventually almost led to suicide and it was all because I had tried to hide my pain from the people who cared. I thought I could handle it all on my own but I couldn't, I needed the love and support.Sometimes, we don't need plans, plots or schemes, we just need people to talk to, a willing shoulder to cry on and let it all out. My case became so bad that I attempted suicide but a friend managed to save me in time. I finally opened up to my new family and got the much needed relief but then, I found out about another disturbing fact, I was pregnant.I had gotten pregnant from rape. I hated my baby's father so I tried to get an abortion at first but I just couldn't so I decided to keep my baby and raise my child to be much better than her father and I'm glad that I did. I have a wonderful family who are willing to support m
