Stirring the herbs in lukewarm water, Lola directed her gaze towards me as she heard a soft mumbling sound."Thank the goddess, you've finally woken." She breathed out, my head banged and staring around, everything felt strange. It was unlike her cabin, the herbs that used to be stacked up high on the rooftops were no longer there, and the room was spacious enough that it could accommodate a whole stack of her herbs for two seasons if not more."Where are we, what happened?" I questioned as I tried to sit on my derriere, she stared at me, her face twitched into a compelling smile, it could be akin to her profound gratitude."You've been down for more than two weeks now. He insisted we take you to the hospital but I made the call to treat you at home." She let out touching my temple with her hands."Who is that?" I asked curiously, Andrea's cabin was nothing similar to the place I was laying, not Ramanov, I pinched myself hard enough to have had a taint of crimson forming at the spot.
"You should be grateful you didn't have a miscarriage." Lola's voice echoed through me like a resonance."I'm not sure if I should be happy or not," I replied my eyes swollen from the pool of tears that had soaked them earlier, "Children are blessings from the goddess, and you shouldn't worry and as it seems when two people are fated for one another they begin to have children." Her eyes were hatched onto mine absorbing my every reaction. Her voice had my shoulders tensing."Why shouldn't I, Andrea practically made it obvious he doesn't want me; us." I wanted Lola's kind words to change how I feel about Andrea and the baby I did.It was clear she cared about him and there were times they both were like each other's guardian, only after swallowing bile and fragmented guilt was I able to see there was nothing but enemies, considering the fact she betrayed him. Their relationship was odd.With a little sewing, I was able to move part of my body, it was like it turned into a mist and smo
"Atone?" He questioned mockingly at the word I had used.I ran my hands through my hair as I yanked it into a doughnut. Ramanov took three long breaths through his nose, his mouth still clamped together in anger, he forced his jaw to relax and rubbed his tongue against the roof of his mouth trying to remind himself how he felt when he was at the pathetic look of his life, begging and seeking retribution. His soul yearned for it, it was a deep burn."Just go home and let me be," I said in a low tone. I felt Andrea's rejection in my very bones. I felt a particular kind of pain enter me and crept around my heart and as hatred flooded my body and clouded my eyes I made my decision not to succumb to anything needless.I did not comment, my gaze darted through the half-opened door inside only to see Lola who did not comment and pretended to be sleeping."Didn't you hear me!" "You will freeze to death, come with me, Lucia.""Now see who is caring," I let out a disgusting smirk, "where does
We bragged about the sex, initially, I almost lost hope and decided it was a boy as we were viewing the abdomen but then moving down to the genitals we saw a small opening, it wasn't anything long that looked like a penis, it was then a wide grin formed on my face, "You see I told you it's a girl." Excitement filled the room like we were on a merry. It wouldn't have bothered any of us, as Lola said children are gifts from God and it doesn't matter the gender; boy or girl."The mother already knows the gender so why waste the ultrasound?" She sounded defeated although she was happy, she had agreed with Ramanov because she fancies him if not under normal circumstances she prefers a girl. A girl; would arrange her hair with beads and decorate her room in all pink like the universe.Even though I was about to become a single mum, Jade was busy branching into every doll shop and supermarket getting all the attention she could seek, while I sat on the bench along the walkway with my heavy
Two years had passed and I was living life through thought, but Ramanov had ventured his direction with the Sunju pack, his influence had helped me suffice thus far although I was hollow, "Mummy, where are we going?" I would call her Moon because she brightened the dark shade in my life. After I gave birth to her, Jade was more than happy, it was almost a complicated childbearing because I had starved and deprived myself of vitamins and certain aerobics due to my wallowing in the pain, lost a lot of vitals that we're considered a miracle as I woke after several days.She ran to me, I spent a few minutes throwing her up in the air and making a zoom sound for her, Jade stood there gawking at the both of us, by the time I set him down I was tired and breathing heavily to catch my breath.I looked through the bag for her toy but instead, I picked up a book, Jade let out a loud laugh, it wasn't easy raising the child, first it was the sleepless first there month night with all the crying
"Do we have to?" Ramanov pinched the bridge of his nose. A futile attempt to drive away his looming headache."Yes we do darling," she patted his hand in a motherly fashion before moving out of the packhouse.The incident of me having treated him like a stranger and keeping the truth from him left him broken; my mate, I thought it was easy to spurn a mate bond.He looked through the thick crowd, his hopes vanished fast, the further down the thick pile he went.The locks clicked as she began to scream, shouting my name, I found myself hurrying towards her with all my wits."What happened here?" I asked as I perked around. The pain that swarmed my soul was worse than the physical pain I had experienced consuming every facet of myself until the memories and traits that made me began to drop like water.A second passed and I stood in front of her, she had never felt vulnerable, not that I know.With the slightest nod of my head, the doors were flung open from the stretching that was hamme
"I was at the Greystone house." He said similarly."Did you say Graystone?" I asked almost petrified to my bones starting at jade who was completely clueless as a mull. Gray stone house was close to Moon kindergarten there was no how he would be there without checking up on her."Yes, I said that." He affirmed his jaw let down in awe. When the last thing she thought was to get herself treated we were ahead of her; Jade.Alpha Ramanov want to act, even though there was nothing that could be done. For some reason, Jade raised a hand and waved it off in the air."You shouldn't waste time, let's get off and head out," I said hurriedly.Ramanov splintered but before Jade could catch up with us we were already out of the door.Specks of blame guilt and fear danced within my eyes, I could akin to the both of them only unrelenting fear, I couldn't accept the fact, He smiles pressing his lips together to hide his blood-stained teeth, and the tensed aura we were in."I don't know what to do if
"Hey, I think you guys should come home.""Why are you giving up or you've seen Moon?""The latter." I let out."That's great, we are on our ways but Ramanov just left here angrily, I don't know where he is going but I don't have a good energy about it.""You should call him, he might have gone after him."***"I'm not sure if I would be happy seeing him or not." I let out as I set the table for dinner."It's only natural to fidget but viewing it, Lucia, I know you still love him. Why deny it? I'm a total stranger, little ideas of what you have gone through but the truth can't hide." Jade said patiently in her monotone voice it helped calmed the restlessness, I was agitated and restless today, but no amount of coddling with my pillow could sooth instead I wallow in the kitchen making different delicacies thinking it would help, my store and the way I held the spoons show I was an exhaust fume."Yea, you're right, but he hits me, I don't want my emotions to be toyed with." I was scar
