"Congratulations to you!" She said with a smiling face and patted my cheek lovingly. She looked very pleased with my condition, why would she be telling me congratulations? "What for? Why are you congratulating me ma'am? I just told you I am ill, what's the congratulations for?" I asked her, confusedly. "Should I address you as Silene or Kevyra? The thing is that you are actually pregnant." She told me and I rose to my feet, my eyes dilated in shock. I was probably also angry and scared because I couldn't even believe it and I didn't even want to hear it. I was so scared. "I - I - I am - pregnant?" I stuttered confusedly and she withdrew. I blinked a few times in shock, I was unable to help the confusion that just settled on my face. She was now staring at me with confusion. "What happened? You should be happy... We have not heard the cry of a baby in this mansion over a long period of time, Alpha Lustrow will be very happy to hear this. You will give Alpha
"I have an idea." Leoric suddenly told me and stood up from the bed, turning to me. "What is that Leoric? What idea is that?" I asked him eagerly. "Let us run away from this pack and settle down somewhere... What do you think?" His gaze turned questioning and my mouth widened in awe. That's was a good idea but it would not be easy to move out of the house without any one noticing us. I never thought of this kind of thing, as in running away with Leoric. If this thing could be settled amicably it would be better. My heart sped as I thought of everything together. Just wanna be fine. "No Leoric! I am not doing that." I blurted out in fear. "This is more difficult than you think. We can't run away from this heavily guarded house, I shouldn't even be the one to remind you of how guarded your pack house is... Every exits and every entrances is locked. You know that this is impossible. We shouldn't even think about it.à" I told him but he still looked very indiffere
*{Harolden POV}* Lustrow was busy probably reading some documents when I arrived into his large office; he was busy working with what he was doing that he didn't realize I was in. I tip toed behind Lustrow and suddenly engulfed him in a back hug, making him to jerk up in shock. I had snuck behind him and gave him a sounding kiss on his face and neck. "What are you doing that have your concentration this much?" I asked him. Lustrow was surprised, he dropped what he was doing and turned around on his swivel chair. Pulling my cheek. "You scared Harol." "Maybe I did, but didn't you find it romantic?" I slowly raised her brow and I kissed him again on the lip. "Indeed, it is romantic! But, you didn't tell me you will be coming here today, I am almost done here and I will be going home very soon." Lustrow told me and closed up his laptop. I frowned my face, pouting her lips and I folded my arm. "No, no you are going no where now Lustrow... I have com
I watched every body eating their meal with great appetite but I was only picking and dropping the cavatto with my fork, making unnecessary sounds with the ceramic plates in front of me. I could not even take one into my mouth, I could throw up if I tried it and every body would start to suspect me. "Silene, what's wrong?" Luna Dessa called me and I raised my head up. "Yes Luna?" I answered dropping my fork. "I noticed that you have not been eating anything, is there any problems? Don't you like the meal?" Luna asked me like she cared, but I only nodded with a smile. "Are you still ill Silene?" Lustrow asked me as he gazed at me but I kept my eyes on the food on the table. "Not at all Lustrow. I am perfectly okay, and I like the food." To convince him that I was fine, I picked one shrimp to my mouth but before I could even chew it up, my stomach rumbled violently, my throat lurging forward the food that was in my stomach. I covered my mouth with my palm to
"Enough!!" Leoric shouted and every murmur ceased immediately. I slowly opened my eyes, Leoric was already behind Lustrow, he almost thwacked Lustrow from behind. One could see in his face that he was very angry, but if he tried defending me in front of everyone at that moment people might get suspicious of him and I wasn't ready to reveal that Leoric was the father of my child. Alpha Ailwyn would never consider us, he would get us prosecuted. "Why did you stop me Leoric?" Lustrow asked him. "You shouldn't have slapped her that way, don't you kn-" Leoric was speaking with anger. Shhh! I made a long hush sound to draw his attention. I didn't want him to say any thing that would go against Lustrow's. He should continue to pretend as if he didn't approve of my stay in the pack-house. Only that could save us. He looked up at my side and I signalled him not to say anything that would go against Lustrow's. He pulled back and clenched his fist. "Lustrow... I think
Now we have new Luna in our midst and of course, this girl was only here to cause more commotions and give each and everyone reasons to detest her. It was really tiring coz, this girl would boss one day and night without even telling one to rest. Well, that was what she was used to so I wouldn't blame her for all that. Just a few days Harolden had used in the house, she had made numerous enemies for herself but yet, no one had dared to confront her or complain that he had done too much or said too much. I was even glad she convinced Lustrow to give me a few more weeks to stay in the house to look for where to get a proper apartment for myself and my baby. Almost everyone believed that the father of my baby rejected my pregnancy and that was why I was hiding it from everyone and I was glad that was how it went. I knew her reasons for letting me stay back though, it wasn't that she truly cared about me and my baby, I knew that for its certainty, but I wouldn't let that to weig
"Stand up now and get to work!!" She barked at me. I sluggishly rose up from the floor, I still held my face that was burning and peppery and I could still hear the sound of the slap in my head. My eyes were stinged with tears. My ears were also making a shrill sound deep down inside but I could not stop it. The slap had just destabilized my system. She smirked at me and swivelled her chair back to face the mirror again. "Get me my tea right now." She ordered and I went to her shelf where she usually kept her junks. It was snowing and I knew she would want it hot, so I didn't bother to ask her. I quickly prepared her ginger tea using hot water and went to give it to her. At first she didn't say anything when I told her the tea was ready, I held it with me and stood. "Place it on the table." She finally talked but she didn't look at me, she was focusing on the book she was reading. I did as she said, dropping the tea on her table and stepped back, standing not too
"Lustrow!!!" Her fragile voice echoed around the pack-house as she screamed and within a twinkle of an eye, Lustrow and Holden had appeared in the room. My heart raced as I saw them, Lustrow pushed me aside and ran to Harol. "What's going on here?" He asked me but I couldn't even respond. I was shuddering and my lips were just to heavy to form something. "She threw up on my dress!" She screamed again. "Tell her to get out of my room.. I don't want to see her face ever again, she has ruined me." She cried into Lustrow's arm. "Get out of here!! Get out of my sight!!" Holden yelled at me and I quickly ran out of the room immediately. One side of me was extremely happy and the other side of me was nervous. I was happy because I knew I was totally free from her today, I was free from her orders and I was nervous because I didn't know what would happen to me next. I didn't know what they would do to me this time. "Silene!!" I heard my name and I froze. My leg
