"What?" Silas asked with a hint of disgust and confusion in his voice. His response woke Roxanne up.
"What is going on?" she questioned rubbing her eyes and trying to look around for me.
"My wife has a bad character," Desmond repeated so that even Roxanne hears his claims.
I could come out from behind the wall but I couldn't risk Desmond telling Hope anything. I don't even know how many lies he had told Hope today.
"She doesn't even care who she sleeps with," he was talking in such a manner about me that I couldn't feel anything in my body, not even my own heartbeat.
"She cheated on me with everyone," he continued to speak, "I had a friend who had once c----," As he kept going on and on, Silas interrupted him.
"That's enough. Why are you even airing out your personal matters to us?" He sounded very disappointed with Desmond, who didn't expect this response.
"I - - -," Desmond sounded a bit shocked. It was a shame that he was much olde
A new day and a new me, I can't even say it aloud after what happened last night.I had woken up earlier before Desmond so that I can be with my daughter.Last night when things got heated and he lunged my way to attack me, hit me, abuse me, I don't know how but I defended myself.By that, I mean my knee accidentally bent upward and hit him in the spot where he wasn't expecting to get hit.While he dropped on the floor in pain, I rushed out of the room and slept in Hope's room.I know he would be enraged upon the idea of getting beaten up by a girl since his ego wouldn't let him think beyond the genders but I was happy that I defended myself and didn't let him lay a finger on me."Good morning!" I kissed Hope's forehead, spreading the curtains open and letting the beautiful sunshine invade her room."Where is daddy? He didn't leave, did he?" the first thing she asked me when waking up was in regards to that as******."Hope! No
I was so shocked that I couldn’t even react. I had my mouth hung open and my eyes bugged out. I rested my palm on my face whilst Desmond took Hope to the side.“Hope!” he shook his head in disapproval but when I raised my face, I saw a smirk appearing on his lips.“See!” Tessa murmured, holding her laugh in and snickering. Roxanne seemed to be on the verge of laughing out loud.“I am ready. How much time will it take you to get re---,” Silas, who had just come out, watched us all standing like statues and frowned, “What is going on here?” He questioned, fixing his cufflinks.“Nothing! I will get ready in a few minutes,” Roxanne excused as she rushed into the room. I had big tears resting on my eyelashes as I tried to convince myself that it would all be fine.“I want to go with you guys,” Hope then watched Silas’ face with her misty eyes and he nodded to her.
Silas Charming’s POV:The party has tired us into craving rest. Hope had fallen asleep in Roxanne’s arms. The driver was advised to slow down due to the heavy rainfall.Roxanne was also dozing off so I was pretty much on my own, looking outside the window and watching the rain.“Thinking about her?” Hunter asked, it was nice having a wolf who accompanies you when you are alone.“About who?” I played dumb, not wanting to accept my mind was stuck on some particular person.“Your mate, the mother of your child, Octavia, who else?” Hunter replied,“Why would I think about her?” I shrugged my shoulders, trying to make him sound like an idiot for even asking me that.“Oh come on! you are thinking about her.” Hunter made me realize that I cannot lie to him so I gave up.“Did you notice how she didn’t even object today? It was like, the
Silas Charming's POV:After Desmond had cleaned the room, he went to attend the bathroom and that was my time to get out of the closet and head out.I only stepped in my tracks to turn my face to the side whilst I pulled a blanket over her.I hate her for the things I have found out about her but I still covered her because I'm an idiot who is feeling way too much about her these days.I got out of the bed and found a guard talking a round, "Tell Desmond to meet me in the study room," I said, briskly walking back to my room to take off my coat and tie.I slammed them on the floor, walking back and forth and running my hand through my hair aggressively.I was angry!"How can she do this to our kid?" I grunted, huffing and puffing angrily."What is going on? Why do you look so enraged and anxious?" Roxanne had come out of the bathroom after changing into her night dress.She was surprised to see the mess I
Octavia’s POV:After I have passed out, I came to find out that Desmond didn’t do anything to me. He practically left the room and then never came back. It was when I had finally woken up and asked the maids about his whereabouts that I found out he slept in the guestroom.“Icy?” I called for her, feeling light weighted. My body still had wolfbane in it so I was weak. I wasn’t going to let Desmond get away with what he did last night.I just needed to know from Hope what he had been telling her about me?“Icy!” I called for her again but obviously, with the amount of wolfbane he had made me ingest, she wouldn’t wake up anytime soon. I was forcing myself to walk around and get ready to meet up with Hope when I fell asleep once again on the couch.“Wake up!” I heard Desmond’s grunting voice but the dizziness didn’t allow me to open my eyes to his existence.
The maid took me to Desmond after I expressed my desire to see him. It took him an hour to accept meeting me, which was just a huge red flag.“Come in, he will meet you now,” she came out of his bedroom and let me know that I can now walk in. I was already mesmerized by the beauty of the mansion, it was huge and everything looked so expensive. How the hell was he able to afford a place like this and where is Hope?I entered the room and was shocked instantly. There were two naked girls in the bed with him whilst he had just walked out of the bathroom after he had taken a shower.“Oh hey! Welcome back to your senses,” he said, drying his hair with a towel and reaching the mirror.“Where is Hope?” there was so much that I needed to get answers from him for but my daughter remained as my first priority.“Ahh! Hope!” he voiced with a smile on his lips, “such an amazing child deserves a good life,&rd
I didn't sign the divorce papers because I didn't want to leave yet. I had to get revenge on him, I had to make sure I see him suffer like I was suffering because of what he had done to me."You are not leaving?" Clara watched me sit down on the cold floor of the storeroom where they had left me for a week."No! I'm his wife and I will stay here," I replied to her sternly. I know she was shocked to hear me but since I didn't look at her, she left to inform Desmond.I knew he would be on his way to come here so I got on my knees and mentally prepared myself for another torture.As expected, he came rushing into the storeroom with anger dripping through his eyes."Why haven't you left yet?" Desmond questioned, tapping his foot out of frustration."I thought once you will find out what I did, you will run out of here but look at you, you know how to bow down for a shelter," his words didn't affect me anymore. He has done more damage with his ac
The night seemed to get colder as the minutes passed by.I hugged myself and kept my head lowered, recalling the route to the Reckless growlers pack to my best ability."You should rest. We haven't eaten in a week, we are getting weaker," Icy suggested, expecting some response from me.I only shook my head and as I did, tears that were resting on my eyelashes dropped off my cheeks to my cheeks."Where are we headed to?" Icy questioned once she found me silent.I didn't respond to her, I remained silent because I was a defeated person who didn't have anything left with her."Hey! What are you doing in the middle of the night?" I heard some rogues commenting as they crossed me with their bikes."Poor girl seems to be a newly kicked out rogue," they stopped their bikes and laughed.I was afraid of walking past them, my heart was doing all kinds of slips inside my chest but for some reason, I wasn't going to change my path.
The after-party started right away but we had our own little fun planned. I saw Nessa walking behind Desmond, who was angrily trying to get away from her. The two stopped after she held his hand and stopped him from leaving.Silas, Rick, and I had followed them but didn’t come forward to announce our presence. They were standing near the trees to talk, while we stayed behind the bushes to wait for them.“I thought you said he was going to reject her?” he yelled at Nessa, not realizing he was outing himself.“I was wrong! But why does it seem like you are so mad about this?” she inquired, feeling confident once she noticed we were there to help us if he tries to do anything.“I am not mad; it is just--- I was worried for the poor girl the whole night. You got me worried for nothing,” he shouted once he couldn’t come up with an explanation to his behavior.“It doesn’t seem like that though,&
“Is Hope all dressed up?” I was standing in front of the mirror, watching the hairdresser set my hairstyle with a diamond crown on my head. My wedding dress was designed for royalty; it was a long white dress decorated with white gemstones for a Luna Queen. It was way heavier than I thought it would be, but it was all fine. At least better than wearing a mask like others. Vanessa was my bride’s maid and wearing a peach pink long gown, looking all elegant too.“Everything is ready. I will just have to go out and receive that as*hole,” as she mentioned Desmond, my mood changed. I didn’t want the wedding to be all about him but it was the one last war that I needed to win.“I am so sorry,” she instantly acknowledged what she has done but I don’t blame her. In fact, I have more to speak to her about.“Nessa! Can you bring Rick here?” I requested to see him after dismissing everybody else.&ldqu
“The question is where is he hiding and why?” Rick was the one to question since everybody else was just silently sitting around the phone and looking at his caller ID.We have called Silas home, who hadn’t sat down ever since he had found out about Desmond contacting Vanessa. He was breathing like a bull and walking back and forth around us.“Because I took everything back from him,” Silas muttered whilst not stopping. At this rate, he would have traveled the world even if he had taken breaks. He had been working up his poor feet like that would solve the problem.“When?” Rick inquired, stealing eyes from us because he knew even I wasn’t told anything about what happened to Desmond.“Okay!” Silas gave a little rest to his crazy walk and took a deep breath in to speak up, “after I made him rich, I attempted to contact him back again,” he finished as if he knew there will be some quest
It's been a few days and we were busy preparing for the wedding. Hope was the happiest one and so was I, Silas had proven to be a completely different person from the past.Tomorrow was the wedding and we were still busy sorting out office work, but at least we were trying. The masquerade wedding was Hope’s idea, she wanted to dress up like a princess and wear a mask just like the rest of the guests and pretend it to be a fairy tale. Silas and I would be the only ones to not wear a mask. I didn’t interrupt her because I was happy with whatever made her happy.He was the one helping me and Hope with everything. Rick has returned and taken his status as the Royal Beta of the pack.I would join the office with Silas every day to not be just a home at staying Luna Queen because I have spent years learning to fight so I couldn’t just throw it all away."I was working on these files about the borders when the whole insane Roxanne thing happene
Silas slowly walked towards the bench and sat down on the bench with me. His strong and refreshing scent hit my nostrils and I smiled a little. “What?” he politely asked, feeling awkward due to my reaction. I responded to him, I only shook my head and we both went silent for the next minute. "I can't believe you went through so much," Silas and I were sitting with our eyes stuck in space while my father and Rick were in the mansion. "It was all worth it, that nightmare helped me understand something," I lowered my face to focus on my fingers to distract myself from looking at him and melting right away before I could even say anything else. "Before going to that cabin, I didn't accept your marriage proposal because I held so much resentment towards you that I couldn't see past the truth," I started talking and spilling what I had been keeping in my heart for too long. The good thing was that he was silently listening to me without adding anyth
Tessa had stabbed her own daughter in haste when she thought she was attacking me. Everybody was now silent at the outcome of Roxanne’s jealousy of me."Roxanne!" Tessa's body shuddered when Roxanne collapsed on the floor without any delay.Silas wrapped his arm around me and covered Hope with his other arm as we watched Tessa get on net knees and cry like a wounded she-wolf.Hope was sobbing while not being able to pull away from me."My daughter!" she screamed, holding her daughter's dead body in her lap and shedding tears. Now she understood what it is like to see someone you love so much in pain?“Roxanne! Wake up. I didn’t mean to,” she was bawling her eyes and screaming, her voice was going to haunt us forever.“Hope! Look at me,” I got on my knees to cup Hope’s face in my hands, “we will leave now, okay?” I wanted to take her out of here so that she doesn’t have to listen to
“Octavia!” Silas smiled while I expected him to be mad at me, to yell at me. I bet Roxanne had shown him the video and probably made it seem like I have run away from him but he still smiled in contentment.“Silas!” after so many years of suffering and accusing each other either under the control of some stupid blue rose or by misconception, saying his name didn’t only contain tears in my eyes but also love for him.“My Octavia!” he corrected himself and my heart skipped a beat, everything turned blurry while his image stayed bright in my view.I can only thank the nightmare to make me forget the past and move on, I was desperate to accept Silas and get accepted by him. our moment of reunion was interrupted once I acknowledged the person behind him was equally shocked to see me.“Rick!” Silas looked shocked and it definitely took him a moment to recognize him.“You are back!” Roxanne
“So do you remember losing from me,” I smirked weakly because I don’t even know what she was capable of. I watched her show her face and I realized I wasn’t wrong.She was probably in her 50s but looked way older than her real age because of all the animosity she had carried in herself throughout the years.“And I was right! You do have all the qualities of your mother. Beautiful, smart, and a bi***!” she grunted, appearing in front of us with her lips blaring hate. The light stuck in her hand was now tossed to the side without any concern of anything catching fire.She was wearing a black dress and holding a silver knife in her hand. I know she had come to either shove us back in there or just finish us.“You wasted your years to get back to my mother and this was your master plan?” I scoffed to annoy her, getting a rise out of your enemy helps you in distracting them. Anger and rage do not work for everyon
“You call it a mistake?” I closed my eyes to calm my nerves down. Rick’s gentle touch around my wrist helped me hold my emotions in for now.“That was all her fault, she was being too reluctant to someone who truly loved her,” Mavi raised her voice in defense of her son, she was the reason her son never understood the fine line between right and wrong.“He forced himself on her out of rage after she passed out. Instead of being understanding of his frustration, she told Abel about it and cried a river to make my son look like a monster. She didn’t even think twice that her friend made a mistake and oh! She shouldn’t have drank anything if she was such a pure soul. That stupid bond they shared made Abel to give the power of punishment to the hands of Martha, who asked my son for an open battle without any powers. She fu*king killed my son because her ego was too big,” she finished and I urged to throw up. There
