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
Schuyler's P. O. V.“Take responsibility?” I scoffed. “Where is he now?”Archie deviously smirked at me, “Where are you now?”“Stop pinning it on me!” I hissed at him in a sharp tone. “You know nothing to what's really happening—”“Didn't my sister sleep with your husband?” He cut me off with a taunting voice. “Nearly everyone knows now how it happened. Have you gone with the whole details?”“W-What?” I looked at him in complete confusion.“The elders were so glad for them being finally together. In fact, in just one word from the Lycan King, they would be glad to void your marriage with him in a snap! Imagine what your son would be if that happens,” he shakes his head at me. “I doubt they won't even keep neither of you alive.”“You… T-Take back everything that you've said!” I shouted at him as I slapped the table. “S-Stop lying!”“You're the only one who's lying to yourself, Schuyler.” He slowly stood up to level me. “And there's nothing to take back, those were all truth you have se
Schuyler's P. O. V.“Archie!” I tried to hold him back when he accelerated the car and almost hit a coming truck on the way. “Slow down, will you?!”He didn't answer me as he remained serious while looking out and watching the car that's tailing us. I glanced through the side mirror too as I heard Archie moving. When I looked back to him, I saw when he brought a cellphone out and called someone.“Clear the car tailing me. Bring the driver to the Tartarus headquarters tonight.” Archie said in a serious voice.I snapped my eyes at him with a serious look after realizing what he just said. When he dropped the call, he didn't even look at my side.“Considering the status of our relationship, we're not close, but shouldn't you still say something to feed me, at least?” I crossed my arms around my chest as I glanced at the two cars blocking the one that's tailing us. “Your men are quick.”“They're nearby, that's why.” Archie turned the car to the left before he stopped in front of a dress s
Schuyler's P. O. V.“Hmm?” Archie straightened his back before approaching me. “It should be normal. You're pregnant.”I slowly shake my head before lifting my gaze at him, “But I don't think it's normal for me to already have a baby bump!” I gaze back at the mirror. “It's early for this… It's not the time yet!”Archie shrugged his shoulders as a smirk slowly appeared on his lips, “Guess the child's gonna be a lycan.”I shouldn't be surprised at that, but hearing it from a lycan still makes me stunned. My pregnancy is hard proof that there's really a lycan living inside me, growing as my own child! I never have expected that it would be possible for my own baby to be a lycan, considering that my father and I did not have the chance to inherit the lycan's side of our grandfather.But my baby… would be of lycan's blood. I slowly take a step back until I sit on the couch behind me. Tears were forming in my eyes. I'd been holding the feeling in, but having a lycan's blood without being on
Schuyler's P. O. V.What Archie said is true. The event really is all about familial ones. The people coming in were all with a family member. I sighed as I massage my temple and think of that person again. I never got the chance to ask Archie if he has an idea, but knowing that he's not mentioning anything or using it against me, I'm already guessing that he doesn't know that person either.I boredly sat beside Archie and didn't even bother to greet anyone around us. Archie, on the other hand, has men beside him and talking him out about business. He looked so passionate about his work that I didn't mind bothering him in any way.And when someone walked up to the stage with her confidence and made everyone feel intimidated, it somehow got my attention and made me ask myself who that woman is.“It's such a pleasurable night to be gathered here tonight, isn't it?” The woman's alluring was heard at the whole venue after the spotlight was pointed in her direction. “The Zabelle's Group of
