"Good day Luna Dessa." I greeted her as she walked towards the kitchen but she didn't respond. She didn't even react like some one just talked behind her. She didn't bother to check who it was and I knew why was that. She was ignoring me, I knew she felt betrayed but at least now that they want me out of the house, they can see me as their guest. "Good day Luna Dessa." I greeted her again, acting like I knew she didn't hear me at first. I could see that her steps were quickened and I began to walk faster as well. - Luna Dessa! - Luna Dessa! I called her severally but she didn't answer not looking to see who it was even though I knew she knew it was me, now it was so obvious that she heard me because many other people greeted her on the way and she was responding to them with broad smiles and even hugs. When I saw that no one was close now, I ran up to her and and gripped her on the shoulder. She turned to me and landed three slaps on my face that lead me to the floor.
It was true that I pretended to be a very happy person in front of everyone in the pack, I smiled trying to make people feel comfortable around me and so on, but whenever I was alone in the room.. I would cry, cry and cry as I wouldn't see anyone to comfort me. After crying out my eyes I would go into the bathroom and sprinkle my face with water. Sometimes I did think I was a curse, a huge curse for every family that I come into. Me thinking of everything that had happened in the past and also currently happening made me cry almost everyday. Was it how Harolden and Holden usually treat me when I was still in their pack? Was it how Alpha Feston and Luna Esdel would throw me somewhere in the house for several days without offering me anything? Was it everything Lustrow had done to me from the beginning to the end.. I knew if, I knew this world wasn't meant for me... I was just like an error made by the creature. Was I the only one this world who deserved suffering, agony and tr
My secret affair with Leoric continued without anyone noticing or even suspecting us. I had made sure people didn't suspect us in any way. I had told Leoric to publicly pretend to dislike me because of my identity, while I usually acted diffident whenever he was speaking harshly to me. This was our plot but this usually pleased Luna Dessa some how, but she was unaware of what was going on between I and Leoric. Very late in the night, when the whole packhouse had gone asleep, I would secretly move to Leoric's room and very early in the morning before anyone could wake up from sleep and start their daily routine, I would have left his room to my own room. This had been going on for several days now and no one had noticed, that was a pleasure on one side. That was very risky I knew it but I didn't think of the risk any more. I just wanted whom my heart chose, whom my heart desired, whom my heart wanted. Sneaking out of Leoric's room that morning but before dawn, I felt very
"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
