My chair scraped loudly against the floor as I stood up abruptly. “You can't allow her to be free,” I said, my voice rising. “She hurt me. She deserves to be punished.” I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. “In case you don't know, she poisoned me when she knew I was pregnant.”

My eyes blazed with fury, my heart pounding in my chest. He shook his head, his expression unreadable.

“It's out of my hands, Zelda,” he said, his tone even. “It's what the people want.”

I let out a laugh, but it was more of a bitter bark than a genuine laugh. “Or is that what you want?” I asked, my voice dripping with sarcasm. “Just say that you don't want her to carry your child in the cell.” My eyes narrowed, daring him to deny it.

“She's not carrying my child,” he yelled, his face flushed with anger. I raised an eyebrow, unconvinced.

“Then whose child is she carrying?” I retorted, my tone daring him to answer. He was silent for a moment, his jaw clenched tight.

“That's it!” he said, throwin

    ZeldaI emerged from the bathroom, still damp from the shower, and a wave of relief washed over me as I saw that the bed was empty. My heart sank as I realized that he must have left. Part of me was relieved, as I didn't have to face him, but another part of me felt a deep ache. The thought of Amelia being released from prison that day was weighing heavily on my mind, and I felt a tightness in my chest. I opened the closet and pulled out a simple white dress. As I slipped it on, I felt the soft fabric against my skin, and I took a deep breath, trying to relax. I ran a brush through my hair, letting it fall in loose waves around my shoulders. I took one last look in the mirror before heading towards the door. As I stepped into the corridor, I could feel my heart beating faster. The sound of my footsteps echoed in the silence, and I felt a sudden wave of nausea. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself as I walked towards the midwife's room.Without knocking, I pushed open the doo

    ZeldaA wave of relief washed over me as the midwife agreed to our deal. She walked over to a shelf and climbed a small ladder to reach the top. She took down a small bottle and carefully placed it in my hands. “Thank you,” I said, my voice barely a whisper. The midwife smiled, her eyes shining with compassion. “I hope this gives you the answers you are looking for,” she said, her voice soft. I nodded, unsure of what I would do with the information once I had it.“And remember, please keep in mind the instructions for how to administer the medicine,” the midwife said, her voice firm. “I want you to be careful. And please, keep our deal in mind.” I pressed her hands in gratitude, the weight of the moment settling over me. “Thank you, truly,” I said, my voice cracking with emotion. She gave me a small smile and squeezed my hands in return. “You are welcome, truly,” she said. With that, I turned and left the room, the small bottle clenched tightly in my hands.I caught sight of Drake

    ZeldaWith a deep breath, I picked up the tray of food and headed to Amelia's room. I knew it would be difficult to convince her to eat, but I needed answers, and I was determined to get them. As I knocked on her door, I could hear the faint sounds of voices coming from the inside. A few moments later, the door creaked open, and I was greeted by Amelia's sad, sunken eyes. I held out the tray, hoping she would take it. “I brought you some food,” I said, my voice gentle. I stood there, tray of food in hand, as the door slammed in my face. I could feel the wind from the door hitting me, and I flinched. I knocked again, but there was no answer. I began to turn to leave when the door opened once more. This time, it was Drake who stood before me. He looked me up and down, his eyes dark and unreadable. “What do you want?” he asked, his tone cool and detached. I held up the tray. “I brought food for Amelia,” I said, my voice small.He opened the door, letting me step inside the room. My m

    ZeldaI reached out and pushed open the bathroom door, bracing myself for whatever I might find on the other side. I saw her hunched over the toilet, her hair falling around her face as she was violently ill. I stifled a gasp, trying not to gag at the sight and smell. I moved forward, tentatively reaching out and grabbing her hair to hold it back as she continued to retch. She moaned in response, her whole body shaking. My eyes fell on the contents of the toilet bowl. It was a shocking shade of white, and realization hit me like a punch to the gut. I felt my stomach lurch, and I tried to steady myself. Amelia was really pregnant. I felt tears well up in my eyes, and I bit my lip to keep from crying. This was not the outcome I had been expecting. I wanted to be happy for Drake, but I also felt an overwhelming sense of loss. Without thinking, I dropped her hair and stumbled out of the bathroom. I ran down the hallway, my mind spinning. I burst outside, almost falling, and there he wa

    DrakeI slammed the door shut behind me, breathing heavily as I paced the room. How did this happen? I was positive that I had not had sex with Amelia, so how could she possibly be pregnant? My head was spinning as I tried to make sense of it all. I ran my fingers through my hair, feeling the strands knotting together as my frustration grew. It was as if I were trapped in a nightmare, and I couldn't wake up.My life was in shambles, and I felt like I was sinking deeper and deeper into a pit of despair. I had no one to turn to for help or support, and the weight of the situation was crushing me. Zelda had every right not to trust me after what had happened, but it didn't make the situation any easier. I needed to find a way to prove my innocence, but I had no idea where to start. I felt lost, and the future seemed hopeless.I took a deep breath and stepped out of my room, heading towards Amelia's. As I approached, I was hit with a strong smell of body odor and filth.

    DrakeI watched the clock tick by, its hands moving with agonizing slowness. I couldn't stand the silence any longer, and I cleared my throat, shifting my gaze back to Amelia. “I think you have had enough time to think,” I said, my voice firm and unyielding. “It's time to give me an answer.” I could feel the tension in the room rising, and I could see the wheels turning in her head as she considered her next move. Would she tell me the truth, or would she continue to try to deceive me?She cleared her throat, and I could see her nerves rising to the surface. “The child is yours,” she said, her voice trembling. I tried to keep my face neutral, but inside I was fuming. I stood up and began to pace around her, keeping my eyes fixed on her. “You know, Amelia,” I said, my voice softening a little, “out of everyone, you know me the best. You know I don't make empty threats.” I began to walk towards her, and she tensed, her eyes wide with fear. “Because of the relationship we once shared,

    DrakeWith a sharp creak, the door swung open, and I came face to face with Zelda. Her eyes were blazing, and her body language was tense and aggressive. She pushed her way past me, barging into the room. “What the hell did you tell Amelia?” she demanded, her voice shaking with anger. She folded her arms across her chest, her whole body shaking with rage. I stood rooted to the spot, stunned by the ferocity of her anger. “I-I-I,” I stammered, struggling to find the words. “I didn't discuss anything with her,” I insisted, my voice steady despite the adrenaline coursing through my veins. She let out a cry of frustration, her face twisted in anger. “Liar!” she screamed, her voice cracking. Tears were welling up in her eyes, and I could see her fighting to hold them back. I took a step towards her, wanting to offer comfort, but she flinched away from me. “Stay away from me,” she said, her voice trembling.“Zelda, please talk to me,” I pleaded. “What's going on?” My voice was calm, but

The smell of alcohol wafted off Drake, I quickly stood up to support him.He looked at me. I could see the regret and love in his eyes. “I apologize for hurting you,” he whispered, his voice thick with emotion. “I love you more than anything.” He stood there, vulnerable and unguarded, his words raw and honest.

    DrakeThree years later.I stood at the grave, my hands clutching the flowers I had brought. My kids stood beside me, their eyes fixed on the stone before them. I took a deep breath, clearing my throat. “Owen looks exactly like you,” I said, my voice quivering. “I know you're not here, but occasionally I believe you are.” I paused, my eyes hard as I looked at my kids. “He's as strong as you are. He's selfless, just like you. You would have loved him.” The words hung in the air, heavy with emotion.“Sometimes it's difficult to believe that you're not here with us, that I won't ever hear your voice again or feel your touch. Sometimes I think it's all a nightmare, that I'll wake up and everything will be like it was before. But I never do. The truth is, life without you is hard. I find it hard to trust anyone, to open up to anyone. “My kids ran off, giggling as they chased each other through the grass. I got up to follow them, making sure they didn't go too far.

    ZeldaNine Months Later.I looked in the mirror, my eyes drawn to the slight bulge in my belly. I placed my hand on my stomach, feeling the life within. It was a strange sensation, one that filled me with both joy and fear. I was growing, my body changing, my life changing. But I was still me, still whole. And that was all that mattered to me. I traced my fingers over my cheeks, feeling the slight swelling of my nose. Drake said I looked beautiful, but I couldn't see it. All I saw was a monster. But he loved me anyway.He still wasn't happy that I was keeping the pregnancy, but I knew in my heart that this was the right decision. I wanted to have this child, to give Drake the heir he deserved. He might not have needed it, but the pack did. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the challenge ahead. I could do this. I could be strong for both myself and my child. I placed my hand on my stomach again, feeling the flutter of new life within. And I smiled.The door to my room burst o

    ZeldaI couldn't tell how long I'd been unconscious, but when I opened my eyes, my head was pounding. I struggled to sit up, but someone helped me, supporting my weight. I looked up, and my heart sank. It was Drake. His expression was unreadable, and I was unable to remember the last time he had smiled. “Where's my family?” I asked, my voice breaking. I was afraid of the answer. “The doctor had asked that we give you some space,” he said. I nodded, my mind racing. He was staring at me with a strange look in his eyes, and I knew something was wrong. “What is it?” I asked, my heart in my throat. “Nothing,” he said, his voice monotone. I knew he was lying. We'd known each other for too long. He knew I could see right through him. I waited, the silence weighing on me like a heavy blanket. “Just tell me,” I said, my voice shaking. He let out a long sigh. “You're pregnant,” he said, his voice low and serious. My jaw dropped, and I looked down at my stomach. “I thought about what the

    ZeldaI heard footsteps approaching, and my heart leapt into my throat. A guard appeared, a limp body slung over his shoulder. He dropped the body on the floor, and I held my breath, dreading what I would see. The guard stood back, his face pale. “He's dead,” he said, his voice flat. I forced myself to take a step forward, my knees shaking. I knelt beside the body, my hands trembling as I reached out to touch it. I pulled back the blood-stained cloak, revealing the face of Jake.“Jake, the Fierce,” I whispered, my voice barely audible. “Don't do this. You can't leave like this.” I reached out to touch his cold cheek, my hands shaking. I looked down at him, my heartbreaking as I took in his broken body. “Please… please don't go.” I cradled his body in my arms, my tears falling like rain.My mother rushed to my side, her arms wrapping around me. “Shh, my dear. Be strong,” she murmured. Drake stood in front of me, his eyes hard and unyielding. His arms were crossed behind his back, hi

    ZeldaI felt Jake's hand slip from my grasp, and I heard a sickening thud as he hit the rocks below. I wanted to believe he was still alive, but I knew it was a futile hope. I sank to my knees, my eyes fixated on the jagged cliff that loomed before me. “Jake! Jake! Jake!” I heard Drake’s voice as he called out, but the only response was the echo of his own voice. Desperately, Drake yelled again, his voice hoarse and cracking. But there was no reply, only a heavy silence. I turned to Drake, his expression unreadable. “Let's go,” he said quietly, his voice heavy with grief. “No!” I cried, shaking my head. “We have to find him! We have to save him!” I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. I couldn't accept that he was gone. Drake took my face in his hands, his eyes filled with sadness. “He's dead, Zelda,” he said softly, his voice cracking. “I'm so sorry.” I shook my head, refusing to accept that Jake was gone, and then I freed myself from hi

I heard the guards. Drake and Jake were shouting, but I was unable to make out what they were saying. I closed my eyes, my mind spinning as I tried to find a way out of this.I howled in desperation, the sound tearing from my throat. “Zelda!” I heard Drake call, his voice echoing through the cavernous space. I opened my eyes, straining to see him through the darkness. He was standing on the edge of the cliff, his arms outstretched toward me. But it was no use. I was too far away, the space between us was too great. “I can't reach you, Drake,” I cried, my voice cracking. He took a step closer, his eyes pleading. “Just try, Zelda,” he said, his voice shaking.I strugg

I tried to send him to our location, hoping he could understand my message. Suddenly, I felt his presence grow stronger. He was coming, and he was coming fast. I sent him another message, pleading with him to hurry. He responded, his mind filled with a sense of urgency and determination.Cindy's wolf was impossibly fast, making it difficult for me to shift into my wolf form.

But I could feel my strength waning, and I knew I wouldn't last much longer.

    ZeldaThe cold water stung my face, jolting me into consciousness. I squinted against the bright light, my eyes taking a moment to adjust. I could feel my wrists and ankles bound, my body aching with the strain of being tied up. My head pounded, a dull ache spreading from the base of my skull. As I took stock of my surroundings, I noticed that I was in a small stone room, the only light coming from a small window high above my head. The room was bare, save for a single wooden chair in the corner.The last thing I remembered was a sudden, blinding pain as something hit me on the head. Now, here I was, tied up and at the mercy of Cindy, a woman who had always been a pest in my life.“Why are you doing this?” I asked, my voice cracking with fear. Cindy's smirk only widened, her dark eyes glittering with malice. “Oh, you know what you did,” she said, her voice dripping with venom. I tried to think of what I could have done to make her so angry, but my mind was blank.“We were friends, C

    Zelda“My lady,” a voice called from behind me, making me jump. I turned around to see a maid standing there, her gaze fixed firmly on the floor. “Your room is ready,” she said, her tone deferential. “How many miles is it from here to Cindy's grandmother's house?” I asked, my voice betraying my anxiety. The maid hesitated, then said, “I do not know, my lady.” I felt a wave of frustration, but I bit my tongue. “Thank you,” I said, my tone cool.I pulled the curtains closed, blocking out the moonlight. With a weary sigh, I let my shoulders slump. “My lady,” the maid said, “I hope you find the room to your liking.” I nodded my thanks, too tired to speak. She left me alone, and I entered the room, closing the door behind me. I sank onto the bed, its softness enveloping me. The silence was broken only by the ticking of the clock on the wall.
