2024-10-29 19:42:56Imagine the shock on my face when Becky reached out to see that my parents wanted to speak with me. I was almost certain that it was a trap, except that I decided that I wanted it to be over and done with, so I took a chance and I went for this emergency sit-down in the home where I grew up.
My parents looked way older than I expected them to be in just seven years. My mother shook uncontrollably as she stood in front of me, crying bitterly. I felt my heart break in pity of her because I knew all that she had to endure for staying married to my father.
"Clara…" My father called out, and I looked away from him. Looking at him brought back some very painful and ugly memories.
"I am so sorry," he said, and I could feel his belt landing on my face, my belly, my legs. "I was wrong for what I did to you." I relived his dragging my mother along for my hasty burial.

The Queen mother approached me for a conversation she said she felt needed to be had. I was tired and not in the mood for a conversation, but I honored her invitation to her room and we talked."There is nit even one pup running around here ever since you have been married to my son, Xavier. Attus moved out, and has since gotten some pups in his name. You know that his position as Alpha King is greatly threatened by the fact that he does not have an heir right? What is really going on?" She said, and I felt myself run back into my shell, as I sat looking at her."I don't know what to say, Queen mother. Xavier and I have been trying, and I believe that the moon goddess would bless us with a pup when she is ready for us to have one."

I kept asking over and over again as I woke up and looked around the dark room in fear."It's alright, Baby. It's jsut a bad dream…" The Alpha King kept saying, patting my back soothingly and kissing my head until I relaxed into his arms and my breathing normalized.I was almost falling back asleep when there was a heavy pounding on the room door. I sat up quickly and ran to the door, opening it up feverishly while the Alpha King stood solidly behind me, ready to defend me if he had to."Luna! It's Orion!"

I met up with Attus on his request at a hidden restaurant, where we talked about so many different things."Why did you ever hit Martha?" I asked suddenly, trying to understand why someone who was so sweet to me would have ever raised his hands on a woman. "Was all teh sweetness you showed just a facade? Was it all just fake? How did you change so much in so short a time?"Attus looked straight at me for a long time, and I waited for him to say something to me. I saw the tears flood his eyes and then drop down his face freely. Why was he crying?"Why are you crying, Attus? Talk to me please. Do you need to see a therapist?" I asked, becoming very concerned about him."Martha told everyone that I… That I hit her. Of course, everyone believes her. But I… I just did not expect that you would believe her too."

"I didn't lie," she said softly. "I just… I thought that if I told you the truth, you wouldn't want to be friends with me anymore. I was afraid of losing you."I felt a pang of sympathy for her, but at the same time, I couldn't just ignore the lies. "Martha, I can't continue to be friends with you if I can't trust you," I said firmly. "I need some time to think about what I want to do, but for now, I need to take a step back from our friendship."Martha's expression turned to one of hurt and sadness. "Please don't do this," she pleaded. "I need you in my life. You're one of my closest friends."I took a deep breath, feeling the weight of the decision I had just made. "I'm sorry, Martha," I said softly. "But I need to do what's best for me right now."As I left the coffee shop, I felt a sense of sadness wash over me.

I wondered what more I wanted to do with my life. And I realised that I wasn't getting enough quality time with the Alpha King, so I suggested a couple's only outing for just the two of us. "Let's go backpacking, Hun," I said, while rubbing his back in the shower. The Alpha King turned to face me, his intense blue eyes searching mine. "Backpacking, my love?" he asked with a hint of amusement in his voice. I nodded, a grin spreading across my face. "Yes, why not? We both love the outdoors, and it'll be a chance for us to spend some quality time together, away from the hustle and bustle of the palace." The Alpha King seemed to consider my proposal for a moment before nodding in agreement. "Alright, let's do it. When were you thinking?" I beamed at him, excitement coursing through my veins. "How about next weekend? We can leave Friday and come back Sunday." The Alpha King grinned, clearly just as excited as I was. "Sounds perfect. Let's start planning." Over the next few days, we

"Mummy! Mummy! Orion is dead!" Luna called out from her room, and I went running there as fast as I could to the nursery from the tea room where I was having a meeting with the First Lady. As I entered the nursery, I saw Luna standing by Orion's crib, tears streaming down her face. My heart sank as I approached and saw that Orion wasn't moving. I placed my hand on his chest and felt no heartbeat."Call an ambulance!" I yelled at Luna, who ran to the phone to make the call.I turned to the Alpha King, who had followed me into the room. His eyes were wide with shock and fear. "We need to get him to the hospital," I said, my voice trembling.The Alpha King nodded and scooped up Orion, cradling him in his arms. I followed him out of the room and into the hallway, where Luna was waiting for us. We rushed down the stairs and out of the palace, the Alpha King running as fast as he could while holding our lifeless son.When we reached the car, the Alpha King placed Orion in the back seat and

"My people, we have a confession to make. The ceremony we held to resurrect our son was not real. It was a lie, a charade, a way to keep him safe from the rogue wolves who had kidnapped him."The room fell silent as the truth sank in. People began to murmur and whisper, and I could see the fear in their eyes. They had trusted us, and we had lied to them.But then something unexpected happened. A woman in the back of the room stood up, tears streaming down her face. She walked forward, her hands shaking, and she spoke."I don't care if it was a lie. All that matters is that Orion is alive and well. He is here with us now, and that is all that matters."Her words were met with nods and murmurs of agreement, and soon the entire room was filled with applause. The people of our kingdom had shown us compassion and forgiveness, even in the face of our deception.But the rogue wolves were not so forgiving. They saw our confession as a sign of weakness, and they launched an attack on the castl

You always have options, even if they're not immediately clear. And remember, the only way to move forward is one step at a time."I took a deep breath, feeling a sense of clarity wash over me.

She's always making snide remarks and trying to one-up me. And don't even get me started on the baby. It's like Xavier has completely forgotten about me and everything we had."Mila and Ellen exchanged a knowing glance. "Look, we get it," Ellen said. "But have you considered giving Xavier another chance? Maybe he just needs some time to come around and realize how much he's hurting you.""I've given him plenty of chances," I retorted.

Months flew past like seconds and one night, Irene's loud screams woke the entire castle. She was in labour. Withy how dramatic she was, hse made life a living hell even for the Alpha King who'd had two children with me and never had to suffer so much with me. "I am dying!" She screamed, scratching, punching and kicking everyone and everything in her way.

It was a difficult task, as Irene continued to thrash around, screaming and cursing everyone in sight.Finally, they managed to get her to the delivery room, where she was immediately immersed in a large basin of warm water.

When he found me, he told me what had happened and I immediately went to find Irene."Irene, we need to talk," I said firmly, my eyes blazing with anger."What do you want?" Irene snapped, her hand resting protectively on her pregnant belly."I want to know why you slapped my daughter," I replied, trying to keep my voice calm."She got in my way, and I warned her to stay out of it," Irene replied, her voice dripping with disdain."That's not an excuse to hit a child," I said, my voice rising.

I couldn't continue to hide from him, couldn't continue to avoid the consequences of my actions.As he walked into the room, I could see the anger in his eyes, the disappointment etched on his face.

As I awaken in the hospital room, I am greeted by the sight of white walls and fluorescent lights. The room was small, with a single bed in the center, and medical equipment scattered throughout the space. I felt groggy, my head aching, and my stomach churning. The events leading up to my hospitalization were hazy, but a dull ache in my chest reminded me of the intense emotions that I was experiencing.As I looked around the room, my eyes caught a glimpse of the ashtray sitting on the bedside table. I reached out and picked up the ashtray, examining the contents. It was filled with cigarette butts, and the stench of smoke filled the air. I realized that I must have smoked an entire pack of cigarettes, one after the other, in an attempt to drown out my thoughts and emotions.I remembered taking swigs from a bottle of vodka, the warmth of the liquid filling my stomach as the alcohol took effect. I felt numb and detached from my surroundings, lost in a sea of self-pity and despair.Tears
