“It’s a baby girl,” the words rang in my ears before I finally fell asleep. I had a c section because of the baby being in a wrong position.
My entire pregnancy was very cursed, and even when I was in the operating room, I was told that nobody came to see me.
I was slowly getting my consciousness when a nurse lifted my dress and tucked my daughter in my lap.
“Feed her.” the way she said it made me feel a weird strike of pain.
“When will I fill out the form for the birth certificate?” it was mandatory that the mother fill out the form right after giving the birth, but so far, I have heard no one talk about it.
“What form? Your father and the council have forbidden us from giving any birth certificate to a bastar* child. He doesn’t have a father, anyway.” She shrugged her shoulders and exited the room before I could defend my baby.
She was feeding on my breas**
"What did you say?" He sounded lost when he asked me to repeat myself.I heard some voices from the main door, so I knew it was time that I head back to my cage, previously called my room.I sprinted away whilst he remained frozen to his spot.I had a feeling that if I had stayed behind for a few more seconds,
They kicked me out of the back door with nothing on me. I intended to wear warm clothes or carry something for my daughter, but they left me with nothing.I was wearing a white silk dress that could hardly cover my thighs, let alone keep me warm. I wrapped my daughter up in a gray sweater and nothing else.A guard has accompanied me on his bike to make sure that I leave the pack. While I walked ahead of him, he came after me on his bike. Their ey
After he told me that bit, he exited the room without answering me about the whereabouts of my daughter. I hadn’t stopped crying and fighting to walk over to the door. My stitches were taken care of, so I assumed he didn’t mean to physically harm me right now.I straightened my back and focused on the door when it slammed open and the man came back again. I didn’t ask him about my daughter this time; he had her in his arms already.“My baby!” I voiced desperately,He walked over to me and eyed me to get in the bed so that he can place her down in my lap. I did as he ordered me and soon my daughter was back in my arms.“My angel!” I whispered, caressing her cheeks. She wasn’t cold anymore. In fact, she looked like was doing much better now.“The neighbors helped.” he turned to the side so that I can meet the elderly neighbor walking in my direction.“I am Agatha Wills,” s
I woke up the next morning to the cries of Hope. She hadn’t been getting proper care as I could tell. I checked her condition and realized that her diaper was full and I didn’t have any other diaper left after I ran out of the few ones Agatha gave me.“Ah! Don’t cry, I will get you some necessities today,” I held her in my arms and rocked her. Whatever needed to be done for her should be done now before she gets a rash.I didn’t have money, and neither I was too comfortable with Desmond to ask him for help. Besides, it was late morning and he must be out for work already.“Oh! I don’t think I need these anymore.” it took me a whole ass minute to touch the gold earrings in my ears to make a decision that my mother’s keepsake is not worth my daughter’s health.“I am pretty sure mother would have wanted me to do the same.” I got out of the bed with Hope in my arms as I planned to s
My ears were ringing from the cries of my daughter. I wasn’t even fighting back out of the fear of Mor hurting my daughter for teaching me a lesson. As Phill’s sharp teeth touched my skin, I closed my eyes and whimpered.It took me a few seconds to notice that Phill got snatched back from me very aggressively. My lips let out a gasp and my eyes peeled open to see Desmond grabbing onto his collars.His wolf was peeking through every part of his body. The veins under his eyes were prominent with the red color of his eyeballs.“HOW DARE YOU!” Desmond growled before he scratched Phill’s face with his sharp, long nails. The sight of an angry rogue was too much for my innocent, fragile heart.“Who the f*** do you think you are?” since Phill couldn’t fight back, Mor let out a scream to get Desmond’s attention.I could tell they were afraid of Desmond because the instant he saw Desmond pushing Phill out
I was going to do anything to give my daughter a better life.Even if it means I have to marry someone I don't love or I'm not destined to mate with. What is a mate bond, anyway? Silas didn’t feel it and soon I will forget about it too.I have fed Hope and put her back to sleep already. I was now wandering around the apartment and watching how much mess he had made.The kitchen was all dirty; the sink was filled with dirty dishes. There were
“Congratulations,” Agatha hugged me once I have signed the marriage papers, “You are now a legal wife of Desmond,” she cheered, holding my arms and playfully smiling at me.“Thank you. How was Hope? Did you change her diaper? Oh! And did you feed her the bottle?” I started bombarding her with the questions once I walked into the room. She looked peacefully sleeping in her crib.“She was fine. I have never seen a kid so patient and calm.” Agatha rolled her eyes at me and then held my hand to make me tail after her. “We have prepared his bedroom for the first night. You should be with him.” She eyed Desmond’s bedroom. I have never been into his room ever since I have arrived. It felt awkward going there.“I will spend some time with Hope,” I tried to excuse, but the other women behind Agatha blocked my way.“She is sleeping and besides, Agatha will stay with her tonight. You
I have opened the door and ran into the kitchen to sit down on the floor and cry. Desmond had rushed in so that he can check up on Hope. He was the one who changed the diapers and bottle fed her.I hadn't been able to walk out of the kitchen and hold my daughter. I felt guilty and incapable of taking care of her.
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
