Schuyler's P. O. V.“Need something, Sky?” I heard Hannah's voice coming towards me. “Hungry?”I nodded at her before sitting down on the chair. Hannah brought out something from the fridge before putting it inside the microwave. I looked up at the clock in the ceiling before asking her.“Is Ezekiel's back?” Hannah stopped from whatever she's doing before she slowly glanced at me.She doesn't have to say anything, just by the way she eyed me, I already know the answer. My parents just… died. And my husband, who's the only person connected to me right now, is nowhere to be found. He would let me see him and neither even answer my calls whenever I try to reach him.I feel so alone right now. Irina told me that the day after my parents were buried, Ezekiel and I had a fight—But I did most of it. And the worst thing, I don't even remember what we fought about and none of them would let me know as they don't want to interfere.I understand, at first, but now that Ezekiel's distancing himse
Schuyler's P. O. V.After seeing the doctor, Ember and I were on our way to visit my parents' graves when we stopped in front of a restaurant because of the traffic. I was casually looking everywhere and trying to kill the busy time when my eyes spotted a familiar car.My forehead creased as I saw Ezekiel's car parked at a restaurant and as if luck was on my side, I saw him coming out while holding a paper bag and beside him was a familiar face of a woman I once saw. I just couldn't tell where I saw her before, but the way she clung to my husband who's not even minding her and how they're attracting attention is what I can't take.Everyone who would see them together will definitely say that they look perfect for each other. As if they're some kind of arts, carved with passion and love for one another.And Ezekiel… Is this what he's been doing every time he’s away? Is he only coming to see me to check if I am already pregnant with his child?! He doesn't really care about me, but he w
Schuyler's P. O. V.“Does she live here?” I asked when it was just me and Hunter, alone in the kitchen. Hunter glanced at me as he poured me a coffee in my cup. “Was planning too.” Hunter pushed the cup in front of me. “Tell me, how did you do it?”I looked up to Hunter while sipping from my coffee. “Hmm?”“The maids… The lycans..” He trailed with an amused look in his eyes.“What about them?” I put down the cup of coffee.“Well, as you know, they're so loyal to Beatrix, but, then—Nevermind!” Hunter said and sat on the chair in front of me. “How have you been? I last saw you at the funeral.”“Oh..” I looked down on my cup and I started to pay with the edges of it. “I don't even know that you were there.”“Considering your situation, that was pretty normal.” Hunter shrugged his shoulders. “Have you been taking meds?”I shake my head at him, “I don't have that.” I looked into Hunter's eyes and he seemed to already have an idea what I would be asking next. “The Lycan King left just thi
Schuyler's P. O. V.“I’m glad you give it a chance, Mrs. Riego.” The Attorney said to me in a delighted tone. “It took me a while to find your location. I’m sorry for what happened to your parents.”“Cut the crap! Who are you?” I directly said and he was taken aback by me getting straightforward.“I am your great-grandfather's attorney, Attorney Tim McGraw.” I nodded at him. “Ten years ago, your great-grandfather passed away, and in his will, your name was written.”“My name?” He nodded at me, confirming that I heard him right the first time. “What for?”“His will—”“Yes, but what is will’s all about?!” I snapped at him. “And damn him! Why include me with the mess of his will when he never even once appeared in our lives?!”The Attorney thinned his lips, “I apologize, Mrs. Riego, but I can only answer the will’s related questions. That one is too personal and I don't have any idea about it.”“Tsh!” I clicked my tongue and leaned back on the wooden chair I’m sitting on. “Would you lik
Schuyler's P. O. V.As we entered the plane and it was about to leave the airport, at the corner of the driveway, I saw a familiar figurine and looked at me from a distance. It was Hunter. He nodded his head at me and watched me as the plane left, as if he was letting me know that it's okay and it was the best decision to do at that time. I don't know how he found out, but I knew, by the way he looked at me, he wouldn't say a word to Ezekiel or to anyone else.The hours of the flight felt so sickening for me. It was because of my pregnancy that I was often in the washroom and had to vomit. And when it was finally over and we landed in a foreign country, I started to feel worse.“I’ll be accompanying you for your first month here, Mrs. Riego.” Attorney Tim said with a gentle smile on his face. “For now, I think it's best for you to see a doctor first. You're looking pale and I’m not sure if it's normal.”I slowly shake my head at him. “No… No, doctors. T-They would know about my baby,
Schuyler's P. O. V.“Do you like nature, Ms. Savannah?” I heard Honey asking behind me as I stared at the huge trees in the mountain not far from where we're standing. “We can go there tomorrow, but I doubt if you can climb. You're a pregnant human with a lycan baby, after all.” I glanced at her while trying to think in my mind. “It would be dangerous for you.”“You're a halfbreed yourself,” I turned my body to face her and looked closely at her face. “And so do most of the people here.”“That is correct,” she nodded at me while smiling brightly, again.“How do you take it?” I sat back at the bench and continued to stare at the people below, dancing and having fun as the night struck. “How can everyone here be so damn happy when anytime, one can betray you and humans might experiment on everyone here? Worst… The Lycan King and his pack might find out and decide to kill everyone.”I imagined Ezekiel hating me for whatever reason, and that hatred became deeper than I can imagine and in
Schuyler's P. O. V.“Is there a problem?” Attorney Tim asked as I only stared at the papers in front of me. He has already explained everything to me about the process taking longer than expected, and while I should focus myself there, my mind would go and think of something else. “We can discuss the rest the next day if I see any progress. As for now, I only need you to sign more papers for the transferral of the properties.”“Can’t you rush it even more? I can't wait a month for all these!” I snapped at her and I saw when shock crossed his eyes.“I’m afraid that's the fastest I can get. These inheritance had been here for years, there are some changes that happened with the policies, but will have everything.” He calmly told me before releasing a deep sigh. “If you're worried about your relatives—”“I’m not worried about them doing anything to me,” but I am worried about them wanting to do something to my child.“Mrs. Riego..” He sighed when I didn't even look at him. “Schuyler…” He
Schuyler's P. O. V.“How come the father of your child is not with you?” Honey's question kept ringing in my ears even after we're supposed to start a new day, peacefully having breakfast near the shore. I was asking the same question to myself, and even after having an idea how to respond to her, I don't have the confidence to do so.My thoughts were only disturbed after I received a call from Attorney Tim and Honey called my attention to answer the call.I stood up and went towards the telephone beside the door before answering it, “Yes?”“I'm glad you finally answered!” He said with pure relief in his voice.I released a silent deep sigh before leaning my back against the wall, “Do you need me for something important?”I heard when he cleared his throat on the other line before answering me in a serious voice.“I have a favor to ask of you.” He said slowly, as if he's analyzing what my reaction would be.“A favor…” I licked the bottom of my lips before snapping my eyes in front of
