My eyes fluttered open and the world gradually began to come into focus. I tried to sit up but the pain in the lower half of my stomach reminded me that it was best to stay still for now. My mind was still clogged with what happened before I fell asleep and as the memories started to rush in I couldn't help but be emotional. I remember everything from how Kaden had successfully rescued me from the hands of Mateo and how the contraction had begun and how I had passed out as soon as we got back to the park. I had no idea of how everything else happened but I guess we were here. My mind was still filled with lots of thoughts and I could not think straight at the moment. That was the moment something struck my mind. "Kaden? Is he in danger?" I asked myself, remembering how Mateo had ordered his men to have him shot. My thoughts were just a jumbled mess and I couldn't quite piece everything together. That was the moment I turned my head to my right and to my surprise my mother sat ther
Everyone was trying to leave for the wedding and with Kaden getting on my nerves, I had no idea if we were going to be able to catch up with the wedding service. I needed to be there before the wedding so I could talk to her and offer the advice I could. I stopped for a while, listening for a footstep but i heard none. I was beginning to simmer. "Honey! We are going to be late! Come on." I yelled, shaking my head. Amber was soon running down the stairs."Where's your brother?" I asked, stretching my hand across the stairs to stop her from running. "And please don't run down the stairs anymore, okay?" I said to her, giving her a gentle pat on the cheeks. She nodded before replying. "He's with daddy." I glanced down at the luggage. There were no guards in sight to help me with it so i just had to wait until Kaden was down. He had always complained about how I was too relaxed whenever it was time to get ready for a journey like this, but today he was guilty. Xavier and Amber were al
My nerves tingled with anticipation and excitement as the stylists scurried around me, each performing the specific tasks they had been employed to carry out. I had been dreaming of this day, ever since he mated me, it would seal the relationship between Kaden and I forever. I could feel nimble fingers brushing my hair as my makeup was being applied. "Your hair is absolutely gorgeous." Jane, the blonde hairdresser complimented, but I knew it was a hyperbole. My hair was great, but absolutely gorgeous? No. "We are thinking of weaving in some braids, what do you think?" She asked, the rest of her words were carried by a loud bang that emanated from the door as another stylist walked into the room. "I'd love the braids, be fast about it though. We don't have all day." I said, admiring my hair hair the mirror. "And your makeup, I am thinking of a soft, smoky look." "Just do your thing Jane, I trust you." I said, before shutting my eyes, my face breaking into a smile. My room was buzz
Thankfully she was able to steady herself before she bolted off again in full tilt, her tiny legs carrying her with boundless energy. "Goddess." I muttered, knowing I had to go get her immediately before something worse happened. I quickly stood up from the window side where I was seated. "She's just like his father, they never rest. You should let her. " My mother said, smiling the moment she knew what was happening. "I'm not taking the chance mother." I said, hurrying towards the door before she said something else to stop me. I could hear her laughter as I walked through the passageway, en route to the outside. A tender smile crossed my face the moment I saw Ichabod running after her. They were chasing a butterfly and the moment she caught it, they admired it for a while, the laughter ceasing. She flashed a grin the moment she saw me and stretched her hands like I had caught her doing something wrong. "Mummy, here! A butterfwy!" She exclaimed. Her L's and R's rolled off as W'
The room was filled with the aroma of freshly prepared food but I knew that eating we just felt like I was pouring ashes into my own mouth. I could not eat because my heart was shattered. I looked up again at the table to see the pastries, grapes and all other sorts of food that was scattered around it because none of it appeared to me at all. I could not eat because my heart was filled with guilt and the Guilt no matter how much I tried to state a side continued to gnaw at me from the inside. It felt as though I was being ripped apart from inside because how could I sit here and try to eat while my mate and my unborn child were in the captivity of an enemy who I knew nothing about. The worst part of the whole thing was that the enemy who had abducted my maids had not offered any kind of Ransom and it was clear that they wanted her to themselves because they needed something. She was very Gifted so that might be their main aim but I could not say how she couldn't have gotten herse
Every morning that I woke up in this dank, damp cave, my confidence that I would be rescued one day gradually waned. With each passing day my cope gradually chipped away into the Dark void that awaited me. I had done everything possible to use my powers and use them against my cactus but none of it worked. Even my wolf had not been active at all. I had done everything to communicate with my wolf but it seemed impossible.It was at this point that I knew that I was alone and that I had to even put more effort and make sure that I got out of this place. But with my condition, I wondered how that was going to be possible. The fact that it was going to be very hard scared me more than anything else because I couldn't bear the thought of complications. So I just had to keep my eyes Sharp and wait for the right moment to strike. I woke up the next morning feeling very weak but I kept it to myself because I did not want to see that bastard's face. I knew so damn well that's all he would d
I wondered what they gained from making me uncomfortable not minding the situation that I have found myself in. I wondered how things would turn out in the next few days now that I have been caught. I instinctively knew that their punishment was going to be very bad. But I knew I had to endure the whole thing until I was rescued from this horrible cave. After making fun of me, the men began to walk out of the room once they began hearing footsteps. I knew it was Mateo but actually he did not come anywhere near the room. I sat there in the darkness and the silence staring at the place of food on the floor. They had tied my hand just to make sure I ate in the most degrading way possible. My heart was filled with hatred and anger as I sat there staring at the untouched food before me. The aroma alone seemed to be mocking my predicament, and even though I was hungry I didn't have any kind of appetite because my heart was very heavy with lots of thoughts and fears.I wondered how I was
We made sure to get everything ready and inspect if there was anything we were leaving behind thankfully there was nothing remaining. The morning had been a very restless one since the mysterious man had interrupted our breakfast with the spine-chilling news. At this moment I still remembered how the man had run into the room with a very worried look on his face. After that he claimed that he had zeen Reene being abducted and taken into a cave in the northmost part of the woods. We had all stopped eating in shock because this was the second time that it was happening. The first time it had happened, the men had killed themselves, and now this. The only mistake I had made was thinking that this was going to be a different situation, but in the end, it turned out to be wrong. The other descriptions that he had provided were vague at best and before we could get any other information from him, he took out his dagger from his clothes and slashed his throat. I Immediately got up from m
