Chapter 60Mara's POV I couldn't stand those words she said to me, how could my mom come to tell me that? Now Talia is better than me? I just have to leave’ I said to myself, I stood up even when my leg's drawback due to the weakness, I still drag it up.“I don't know, but I just don't want to speak to you again! I couldn't hold my tears where she sat staring rerunning at me, she wasn't remorse of what she said, she wanted me to plead her, but I am not ready for that presently, I just don't want the happiness in me few minutes ago she faded away so with that, hovering my shoulder I walked out from where she sat back to where I sat before I saw her. I sat on my chair, gulping down the bile on my throat blinking back tears a desperate attempt to stop myself from sobbing. How could I cry today, a day of happiness for everyone, especially me? Most of the people are still looking at me as if they were chatting something that has to do with me in the conversation, so I avoided all eye
Chapter 61Mara's POVMy eyes gawk on the floor studying nothing in exact as my head kept repeating each words he pronounced.I looked up at him seeing the smile he let across the lips I was describing within myself few minutes ago, my eyes bulging from its socket.I took them down trying hard to raise it back to where he stands, I wanted to bring myself to reality that he said those words to me, but my eyes are transfixed with horrors, unable to move away, no matter how much I wished to. Likewise, I pressed my lips together, making them all disappear, but I let it slack uncertain weather to breathe or screamed.Not only that, but I could feel my jaw trembled, making it hard for me to breathe.Furthermore, I watched my skin pale, losing my color as it was becoming chalk white.My finger was seeking onto what to hold, so I just grabbed the seat, hitting my button to it.I couldn't put my finger on how I feel about the announcement, as I am just struggling to figure out why Rhys has to
Chapter 62Rhys' POVI was stunned at her revelation but why didn't I see it to, if she was my second chance mate like she claimed she was I would have felt the bond to.After her rejection for a moment nothing happened, there was no break I couldn't even feel the bond everywhere was silent as Mara publicly humiliated me... At this point I was no longer seeing clearly all I could see was red!"So you are lying huh? I am not your second chance mate" I muttered through gritted teeth."No Rhys I-"I don't care!" I yelled cutting her off, more gazes were attracted at my outburst but I didn't care."I do not want to see you again" I spat and she gasped stepping back terrified. Her tears fell freely and I could read how much I hurt her but my anger overwhelmed me that there was no space to feel anything except the boiling anger that consumed me.She opened her mouth to speak but decided against or maybe she was to broken to form words whatever it was without a word she turned around and le
Chapter 63 Mara's POV As the words left my lips I was expecting the bond to break, or at least a sign I had made a connection but nothing happened, could I be mistaken that Rhy's was my second chance mate? I saw it happen I saw it! But it didn't matter since Rhy's mind was already made up and he told me he never wanted to see my face! How could he say those words easily like he was telling me the very time of day and not tearing my heart to shreds. I opened my mouth to speak but I couldn't find my tongue tired of the humiliation and heartbreak I did the only thing I could... I stepped away from him my feet moved before my brain could register the thought. Tears streamed down my face, but I forced myself to stop crying. Crying wouldn't help. I had to keep moving, to get away from the hurt. “I knew it,” I muttered to myself between gasps. “I always knew he never loved me" I should have saw it coming that was why I didn't let myself fall for him but even as I said it,
Chapter 64Rhys' POVThe knocking wouldn’t stop. Each pound on the door was a hammer to my skull, sending waves of pain through my head. I groaned, burying my face in the pillow, trying to block it all out but the knocking persisted. “Go away!” I mumbled, my voice barely more than a croak.“Rhys, open up! It’s Duncan,” came the reply. I squinted at the sliver of light streaming through the curtains, each ray a needle in my eyes. What could Duncan possibly want at this hour? And why did my mouth taste like an ashtray?“Duncan, leave me alone!” I shouted, immediately regretting the effort as pain shot through my temples.There was a pause, and for a moment, I thought he might actually leave. But then the door creaked open, and there he was, standing in the doorway, looking annoyingly fresh and awake.“We don’t have time for this, Rhys. You’re already an hour late,” he said, stepping inside without waiting for an invitation.I blinked at him, trying to process his words. “Late for what
Chapter 65Mara's POVThere was something about the name that struck a core, I couldn't quite understand why or pin where I heard the name from and all this thinking made my headache worse."Hey are you okay?" Ethan questioned watching as I rubbed my temples frustrated."No I'm fine" I quickly said when he moved closer, he looked stunned for a minute but thankfully he took a step back.I owed him and whoever brought me here my life but it was all a bit strange and I would need some time getting used to it."So where are you from?" He asked picking a tiny statue and twirling it in between his fingers trying to avoid my gaze.The throbbing subsided a bit as I pictured my humiliation clearly sending a pang in my chest. How was I supposed to answer that question?Clearly Rhys hated me and there was no way I would go back to him and my orphanage mom didn't care about me unless I was useful, I had no where and no one."Hey hey you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, please sto
Chapter 66Mara's POV Hhhh! A collective gasp echoed on the hallway as everyone took in what the seer just said."My my a powerful one if I'm not mistaken" The seer continued making Dahlia hiss."You can't say this! Ethan help her inside quickly" Dahlia ordered then Ethan rushed to hold me leading me carefully inside, the seer followed us while Dahlia was the last to step in.She looked around the hallway paranoid before closing the door while the seer watched me in awe."I could sense her energy her wolf is different I'm not mistaken" the seer further added while Ethan helped me in bed.I still had a sick feeling in my gut and to add now I had to deal with the idea I was a Lycan which wasn't possible if what I knew about Lycans were true."Calm Alma" Dahlia responded first Ethan kept his distance his brow knitting together in thought."If someone heard you word would spread it would be chaos" Dahlia whispered but the seer nodded her head in negative."This means there is hope, we n
Chapter 67Rhys' POVMy heart dropped to my feet as she dropped the bombshell, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Mara, pregnant? It felt like the ground had shifted beneath me. I had to steady myself against the wall, my mind racing. How was that possible?No this can't be true! My anger towards Mara disappeared and was replaced by regret."Why didn’t she tell me?" I demanded, my voice sharper than I intended.The maid looked down, wringing her hands. "I-I don’t know, Alpha. She found out recently I don't understand why she left suddenly. I don’t know what to do."I ran a hand through my hair, trying to calm down my thoughts a mess. If this was real I just made a terrible stupid mistake."Don’t tell anyone about this," I said, my voice low but firm. "Do you understand?"She nodded quickly. "Yes, Alpha. I won’t say a word."I needed to do something. I pulled out my phone and dialed Duncan’s number. He picked up on the second ring."Rhys, what’s up?" he asked."It’s Mara," I sai
