CONAN —"I'm sorry, ma'am, but the result could only be revealed in two days, so I will be here on Thursday to announce the result," Dr. Naty declared.I sighed in confusion and sucked in a breath. "Is that how it is being done?" I whispered to Mom."Well, I cannot tell because I have not done any," she replied.Elder Enzo stood up and walked to me. He bent and whispered to my ears, "If this is the case, then you need to do something about this." He suggested and went back to his seat.I took a deep breath and paused for some seconds, thinking of what to do. "Uhm, anyways, thank you, Dr. Naty, for honouring my summons," I said, and she let out a slight grin in response to my appreciation."I'm delighted, sir," she said."So this means that we should be expecting you in two days for the result?" I asked, and she nodded in affirmation. "Definitely, sir," she responded."Uhm, doctor. Due to some reasons, I would li
YVONNE —The days went quicker, and it was Thursday morning already. Today was the long-awaited day—the day my most important information was to be revealed.I dressed up my kids hurriedly, and we strolled to the Alpha's chamber. As we were walking, the kids could not stop asking me questions."Mommy, are you now going to confess to Uncle Conan that he is our father?" Liam asked."Liam, stop referring to him as Uncle Conan; he is our father. You should call him Dad," Kiara chipped in."Mom, what if Dad got mad at you for deceiving him? For fooling everyone," she added."Have you all forgotten that today marked two days in which the doctor mentioned that the paternity test would be out?" Amelia declared."Oh, so we are going to have the test result. Amazing," Kiara replied. "At least, Dad would know we are his kids. I love Daddy," she added.However, I did not respond to any of their questions but kept quiet as we walked.We finally arrived at the Alpha's chamber, and we walked in. Howe
YVONNE —"Uhm, I should be leaving now. So you both could have your best moment," I remarked, but Conan did as if my presence wasn't felt in the room. He completely ignored me.I sighed and stood up to leave. "Sweethearts, I will be in the room," I said to the kids, but they did not even bother to glance at me, talk more of saying a word. They were more focused on their dad, asking him a lot of questions and climbing on his body.I gulped down hard, with a hint of betrayal written over my face and pain surging through my heart. The pain of seeing my own kids ignore me. In honesty, it hits hard.Well, I could not blame them because they were just kids. They don't know what they are doing nor do they know the value of the secret I tried to hide.I let out a deep sigh and gently walked out of the chamber, heading to the guest quarters.As I arrived in my room, I slumped on the couch and burst out crying. I swear, today was the worst day of my life. Even six years ago, when I was framed an
CONAN —It was exactly the expected day—the day of my wedding with Yvonne. In honesty, I could not tell exactly how I felt. Although I knew this was a wrong move but I still proceeded to do it for the sake of my children. No child would want to be separated from his or her mother at all. Talk more of kids at my children's ages."At least I'm now familiar with her true colors—I know Yvonne very well now, unlike before, when I sees her as an angel. So no doubt I would not regret this because I will have to put her in her place if there is a need for that," I mumbled in order to wave off the thought of doubt and regret going on in my mind.I glanced at my wristwatch as I was curious why she had not shown up at the church. It was just fifteen minutes remaining before the priest brought us to the altar for vow-making and binding together.I sighed and brought out my phone to text her when I remembered I had yet to give her the phone I had collected from her."Shit!" I exclaimed. I called Ge
YVONNE —As we walked up to the altar, words could not explain exactly how I felt. I could not believe I agreed to this, accepting Conan as my mate, not to mention marrying him in church.I just wish there was a way to escape from this, but there is none. If I had rejected the proposal, then I would stand a chance of losing my precious babies to be parented by another lady who I'm certain would despise them, especially Liam, who would stand as a barrier to inheriting the throne from her own kid.One thing I had vowed not to do was let another lady raise my kids for me, and that was the reason I agreed to this. I do not want to return to the city without them."Yvonne and Conan. I'm delighted that you both have decided to wed legally and commit your marriage to the Lord. So I am asking," the priest remarked, turning to Conan."Conan, have you decided to enter into marriage without coercion, freely and wholeheartedly?" he demanded."Yeah, yes, I do," Conan replied."Good," he said, clear
YVONNE —I sighed and closed my eyes in order to calm my emotions. I could not believe what I had just heard; they were trying to play me off.Although I hated Conan, seeing him holding Zendaya in his arms was something else. Jealousy threatened to rip my heart from my chest as I watched them. At that moment, I wished I was Zendaya. I needed him to hold me that way and speak pet words to me while caressing my cheeks and curling my hair, as he was doing to Zendaya.I thought of approaching them, but I knew it would not yield any positive result but instead worsen my state because they would certainly do something that would infuriate me more.I sighed and walked back into the conference hall. I glared at my wristwatch and realized that it was already evening. It was already five o'clock. Meanwhile, most of the audience had already finished eating, and some were exiting the hall and going home.A few minutes later, Conan walked in and sat beside me. However, I threw my gaze away so I wou
CONAN —I stood at the passageway that leads to the room where the kids were, waiting for Yvonne to come out, as I had instructed Gerald to tell her.As I looked up, I saw Gerald coming out of the room as he had delivered the message I sent him. However, Yvonne alighted from the room also.She walked after Gerald, and immediately her gaze locked with mine. She slowed down and was acting as if she were scared of moving forward."Is there a problem, ma'am?" Gerald turned and asked her, as he noticed that she was not following him anymore.Yvonne ignored him and kept moving slowly. It was as if she was counting her moves."Ma'am, please, I do not want to use force on you. The Alpha had requested your presence, and I'm expected to return with you to his chamber; otherwise, I cannot tell what would happen," Gerald added, trying to force Yvonne by dragging her, but I intervened."It's okay. Let her be," I stated, and Gerald tilted his neck back. As he noticed that it was me, he immediately l
YVONNE — "You are free to go, of course," he snapped. "Did I mandate you to stay with me by force?" he asked. "Of course you did. You are treating me as your villain while avoiding the real villain, Sophia," I responded. "This is not fair, Conan. Why did you derive joy from seeing me cry?" I added, my voice trembling as I spoke. "I can tolerate all sorts of behaviours and ill-treatment from any of you, be it you or Sophia, but I can never allow you to go away with my kids," he uttered. "If you really want them, then you should stay in the marriage and live with them—very simple!" he declared. "No one is forcing you to stay in a marriage that doesn't sit well with you. You are free to leave, so you can live with your military spouse. After all, he would be back soon, as the war he had been fighting for over a decade may end anytime soon," he scoffed at me. "Enough, Alpha Conan. I did everything for a reason, the same way you did your past decisions that failed you for a reason. Do
