I was dressed up in Lycan's pajamas and I walk into Maynard's room to check on him but he was still asleep. I feel his pulse to be sure he is still alive. Now I am begining to worry about him. I was Still checking on me when Lycan opens the door and walk in. " The dinner is ready " He said with a lot of frown that discouraged me. I look away from him with my hair falling down my shoulder. " I won't be taking any dinner " I replied but his response was to walk forward to me and grabbed my wrist. His eyes burning with fury and hid jaw tensing. " Out there Amelia to eat " " I won't be taking anything Lycan! " I said angrily, freeing myself from him. " I don't want anything from you. If you want your baby then fine! Once I gave birth to him I will locate you and handed him over to you " I was frustrated and unhappy, extremely. Lycan is so willing to let me go. That knowledge makes me feel very miserable. I sniffed back tears and look away from him. Now his face was without express

I couldn't sleep but my husband is. I can't be sure though but his eyelids were closed and his breathing even. I have been thinking too much about our fate and those of the woodlanders. I sighed and turn around then I nuzzled closer and sigh again. After many failed attempts to fall asleep I gave up. I get up from the bed and headed out but when my fingers was wrapped around the doorknob I get the question from my husband. " Where are you off to? " I turn around to see him sitting up waiting for me to answer his question. Slowly Lycan stood up when he saw I wasn't replying. He took his slow strides to me and touched my cheek tenderly. " Can't sleep? " " Hmm " He wrapped his hands around me after hearing my answer. " Do you want me to make love to you? That might help in luring you to sleep " He offered softly and that voice of him already aroused the lust in me. I stood on a tiptoe and claim his lips with mine. His plump soft lips making me to go almost crazy. " Come here "

" I am there to ask you Lycan. Is it true that you are not human? " That was lady Katherine's question after thousands of seconds of silence. The question that put off everyone. Maynard and I soon turn to Lycan to hear his reply. I could see him setting his jaw. His breath even. I turn to Maynard to see him trying hard not to laugh. This comes to me by surprise. I never know the situation was funny until I stare at the first son of Myth." Lycan is in for a scolding eh? " He mutters and back off. Maynard retired back to the window where he lean on the wall and fold his hands on his chest to watch how everything unfold." Mother you should calm down " Lycan was saying. " I know Smith must have pushed you to do something crazy but that isn't a way " " So he is telling the truth, right? You are a Lycan and not human? Show me. Pull out that ugly fangs and claws you got behind that pretty face of yours " Now Maynard pushed himself away from the wall in anger. His smile vanished into th

" You should stop crying Amelia. Your wolf will be weak " Ethan advised me but I didn't reply. I sat down on the floor dejectedly. People walking about to arrange how to return home but I wasn't feeling like returning." The van to take us home will be ready in no time. Relax, okay? " Still I didn't reply. After a very long time the van was ready. I caught the sight of Smith walking out from the building to have a conversation with Maynard. " He is still alive. I should have known Lycan has many lives. How come he didn't die when your blood was injected into his blood stream? " My heart dropped at this and it took another turn immediately. Now I could see the beauty around me. The airs caressing my cheek. " Shit! He will die. He will eventually be dead if you keep..." " Nevermind Maynard. I want that silver in his vein. I think I can drain all those precious liquid from his vein. He would die after that, right? " I watched as Smith asked Maynard with a grin. The two speaks much

" You are still pregnant Amelia " Ethan dropped the bombshell that afternoon and I gritted my teeth.I couldn't reply because there is nothing I could say to keep the truth away. Instead I look away and return my focus on my book which I have picked up from the pack's library. Slowly, at the corner of my eyes I saw Ethan walks to me. He sat on the bed just besides me and pulled away the book from me. I didn't protest. I allowed him to have his way when his hands comes up to my blouse, lifting it up a little to take a peek on my tummy. " It's protruding. What's going on? Do anyone lay with you when you were held Captivated? " " No " " So? Who owns the baby? " He asked with his eyes pinned on mine. I will hate to say I never love my step brother. I have come to rely only on him. After Maynard had announced Lycan's death I have returned back to my shell. I won't remarry, I have informed my dad firmly. I have warned him I will leave for the Cave of darkness if he dares push me to
