Chapter 197: Damned Kid

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

Giselle’s POV

I watched with rapt attention as my three year old son, Ryker, sat cross-legged on the plush rug, his small hands meticulously arranging and rearranging the brightly colored blocks before him.

My trusted assistant, Rhya, stood at the far corner, carefully watching Ryker to be there in the moment that he needed help.

I sighed as I rested my chin on my palm. “It’s a rare moment of peace, isn’t it?” I whispered, my gaze not leaving Ryker’s enraptured form.

Ryker looked like a sweet little boy as he played with his toy blocks with laser-focused movements. Everyone who would stare at him right now would never imagine that he is actually a spawn of the devil.

Ryker has been diagnosed with autism since birth. Small things could easily set him off, and it’s hard to calm him down when he holds tantrums.

I and my two attendants aren’t enough to subdue him when he bursts into a fit. There were times when I just wanted to tear my ears off because of his loud and violent yelling.

    Giselle’s POVThe air hung heavy around me as my anger pulsed through my veins. As soon as I heard that Killian was doing something behind my back again, I instantly rushed to his office to confront him. I stood before Killian’s door, my back straight and my jaw set in a line of unyielding resolve. The guard, a young man with a face still too smooth to hold the weight of authority, stood before me. His hands hovered nervously near the door handle as he faced me. He must be a newly recruited Pack Warrior, and he was assigned to guard Killian’s room to keep everyone outside.“I need to speak to Killian,” I spoke, my voice a low, icy rumble. It wasn’t a request. It was a demand, a command delivered with the chilling certainty of a queen issuing a decree. My words were laced with a chilling coldness, a warning that I was not to be trifled with, as I fixed my gaze on the mahogany door. I could feel his palpable fear as he stared through me. I could see the sweat beading on his forehea

    Giselle’s POV“Luna, are you sure about this? Are you really going to bring Ryker with you to the Shadowfang Pack?” One of my attendants asked me to make me think twice about my decision. I had just gotten back from Killian’s office after I had confronted him. We both agreed that both Ryker and I would come with him to the Shadowfang Pack. “Of course. As his mother, I can’t leave him behind here. We don’t know how many days we would be staying at the Shadowfang Pack. What would Killian think of me as a mother if I could bear to leave my son behind for days?” I shot back at my attendant, who dared to question my decision. “Luna, I don’t mean it that way, but Ryker could be so intolerable sometimes. I’m just afraid that if you bring him there, he might cause trouble for you and the Alpha,” The omega replied sincerely with her head bowed. I sighed. It’s one of the things that have been troubling my mind, too. If I had the choice, of course, I would rather leave this annoying kid behi

    Giselle’s POVI’ve heard a lot of things about the Shadowfang Pack, but the rumors I heard were nothing compared to what the Shadowfang Pack actually appeared like. I couldn’t believe that such a place would exist in this world. The moment I arrived, I thought I had entered paradise. I glanced at Killian, who was looking around the Pack with awe written all over his face. None of us has ever been here. We looked like countryside bumpkins who entered the city for the first time. “What Ryker? Do you like what you see?” Killian asked his son, whom he had been carrying in his arms ever since we arrived. Ryker slowly nodded his head as he stared at his father. Killian laughed happily at his son’s response. “Of course, this place is nothing like our Pack,” Killian responded with a big smile on his face. Ryker couldn’t talk, but he could communicate with us with a nod or a shake of his head. However, he only communicates with his father. When it comes to us, he never gives us anything

For three years, I’ve been wishing to have an easy life where I don’t have to deal with any problems and have the freedom to do what I want. Now that I have what I want, why do I miss the time when I was busy worrying and thinking about work again?“Here you are,” Daphne’s familiar voice sounded behind me. I didn’t bother to turn around. I knew it was her. Daphne is the only close friend that I had in the Shadowfang Pack. Aside from her, no one would bother to come looking for me here. “What’s wrong?” Daphne asked as she stood beside me. “Thinking of Alpha Drystan again?”I scoffed when I heard her question. Every time that I’m alone or deep in my thoughts, she always suspects that it has something to do with Drystan. She is really so convinced that I have feelings for Drystan. “What are you

    Astrid’s POVGiselle abruptly stopped in her tracks when she recognized me. Her face paled instantly as she stared at me like she had seen a ghost. I held back the smile that threatened to appear on my face when I saw how she reacted to seeing me. It’s great that she fears me. That means she still remembers what she had done. Whether it haunted her or not, it doesn’t matter. I have a plan to make her pay anyway. “Giselle, it’s so nice to meet you,” I spoke amicably as I carefully stood up and tenderly held the little boy’s hand. Giselle’s eyes widened, and she suddenly acted hysterical. “Ryker! Ryker!” she shouted as she ran towards the little boy beside me. She instantly gathered him into her hands and separated our hands before she walked backward, distancing me from the child like I was a threat to them. I stilled, and my whole body tensed when I realized that the little boy that I was talking to was actually none other than Giselle’s precious son.I didn’t know that I was al

    Astrid’s POVMy heart skipped a beat when I saw Killian striding confidently towards us. Killian looked different from what I remembered. He had grown more mature, manly, serious and confident. He looked like a man who had gone through so many difficulties, sharpening him like a sword. His broad shoulders stretched through the fabric of his clothes, showing his masculinity. His jawline looked sharper, his features more defined, and his eyes that used to contain mirth and mischief now held a depth of unfathomable stories in them. His boyish charm had been replaced by a rugged, masculine appeal that sent a shiver down my spine.But it wasn’t just his physical development that struck me. There was also that seriousness in his demeanor, a quiet intensity that replaced the flippant immaturity of his younger self. I straightened myself as I watched him move with purpose and a quiet confidence that emanated from within. He now feels and looks like the Alpha that he should have been. Tim

    Astrid’s POVMy brows furrowed, a question mark etched on the crease of my forehead as I observed Killian carefully like I was trying to decipher a cryptic message. ‘Killian, what is this that you’re playing exactly?’ I thought to myself as I tried to see through him. The Killian that I know wouldn’t tolerate any provocation from me. I still remember, when we were still married, Killian had no trust in me. When Giselle faked a fall on the staircase, he instantly accused me of pushing Giselle, and he was so angry at me. To him, Giselle’s words were enough to prove me guilty. Every time that Giselle was put in danger, he always blamed me for scheming to kill his mistress and their baby. He treats me like a villain instead of his wife. He sees me as a bad person who could take someone’s life. He loves Giselle in the same way that he hates me.I can still remember that day when Killian kept me from meeting my grandmother before she died. Because of him, I was unable to speak to my g

    Giselle’s POV“Is that it?!” I taunted Killian as we escaped from the scene to retreat to our room in their Pack’s courtyard where all the guests were staying. “You just let her walk all over us?” I spat, my voice laced with venom. “Giselle, don’t do this now in front of our child,” Killian said, his voice calm, almost soothing as he tenderly carried his son in his arms. My anger simmered like a volcanic eruption, ready to burst at Killian’s unfazed expression. Killian’s unexpected surrender towards Astrid, siding with her instead of defending me and our child, felt like a betrayal, and Killian looked so fine with it. Unable to contain my rage any longer, I grabbed Ryker from Killian’s arms and handed him to his nanny, Rhya. Killian looked at me in surprise. Finally, I have his full attention. “Bring him back to our room and make him sleep,” I ordered Rhya after taking Ryker in her arms. Ryker’s gaze darted back and forth from me and her father cluelessly as Rhya took him away.

    Asha’s POVThe soft crunch of leaves beneath my boots was the only sound as I walked through the forest path.My mother’s grave is far from the Packhouse. She is buried in a secluded area, giving her peace. The cool air carried a solemn stillness that matched my mood. Visiting her grave was my sanctuary, a place where I could let my guard down and remember the woman who raised me.That’s when I saw him — Andros, my older brother, standing at the edge of the woods. The shadows from the trees seemed to engulf him, and his posture was rigid, alert. Was he here to visit Mother too? I wondered. My heart swelled at the thought. It wasn’t often that Andros and I shared these quiet moments. As the crowned Alpha he has too many responsibilities placed on his shoulder. He was always busy. I opened my mouth to call out to him but stopped short when another figure emerged from the shadows. My brows furrowed. The man wore a black hoodie that concealed most of his face, and his movements wer

    Asha’s POVI staggered back, shaking my head in disbelief. “That’s not true. That can’t be true,” I mumbled as if I was just trying to convince myself.“I was left with no choice, Asha. Your mother—Luna Jamaica—was my brother’s mate. He was the rightful Alpha. But when he died, the Pack needed a leader. And I… I was the only option. I was forced to marry her to maintain stability. To keep this Pack from falling apart.”My father’s eyes turned red as he tried his best to hold back his tears. My heart wrenched as I feel for his pain. This is the first time I ever saw my father look so vulnerable. “I gave up everything. My mate. My happiness. My future. I gave it all away for this Pack, for a life I never wanted. And every day since, I have lived with that choice. With the weight of betraying my mate, of turning my back on the only woman I ever loved.”I stared at him, my body trembling as the truth settled over me like a suffocating blanket. Everything I had believed, everything I

    Asha’s POVI squared my shoulders as I faced my father, my eyes narrowing at him in anger. I crossed my arms tightly over my chest, the weight of years of frustration and jealousy boiling to the surface. My father simply stood before me, his usual composed demeanor tinged with a rare expression of exasperation, but I didn’t care. Not anymore“She doesn’t even call you Father!” I spat, my voice trembling with anger. “Not once in her life has Astrid ever acknowledged you as her father. And yet, you treat her like she’s some prized treasure. Why, Father? Because you feel guilty for neglecting her? She’s just your illegitimate child! It’s best that she realize she’s not special!” I blurted out angrily.Alpha Theron’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t speak. That silence — his silence — was what always drove me mad. He would never defend himself, never justify his actions, as if I were the one being unreasonable. But I wasn’t.“She’s ungrateful!” I continued, pacing back and forth as my em

    Astrid’s POVThe silence after the call ended was heavier than the words I hadn’t spoken.I remained frozen, clutching the phone as though its weight could tether me to the choices I had made. Each unspoken truth tightened like a vice around my chest, each lie stealing the air I so desperately needed.I wanted nothing more than to turn back, to run to Ryker and finally tell him who I really was. But how could I? How could I be so selfish, so reckless? I knew the truth about my condition — how dangerous and uncertain everything is. How could I let him get close to me, knowing how it will all end?The thought of Ryker loving me, only to lose me, was unbearable. I couldn’t let him go through that pain, the kind of pain that had already hollowed me out. I knew it too well — the ache of losing someone you’d give anything to keep. The searing, unrelenting agony of losing my husband, the devastation of outliving my child. I wouldn’t wish that torment on anyone, least of all Ryker.A shiv

    Killian’s POVIt had been days since Ryker had last seen Giselle, and Ryker still hadn’t asked a single question about her mother. At first, I was afraid of what he’d say, dreading the moment he’d look me in the eye and ask, Where’s my mother? I couldn’t bring myself to tell him the truth, knowing how much it would break him. How could I possibly explain to him that Giselle is not her mother, and that she’s dead. In his whole life, Ryker believed that Giselle was his mother — she’d raised him, after all, and he’d known her as nothing else.I know it would be difficult for him to accept and process the whole truth, and I was trying my best to avoid the confrontation from him. But now… I’m no longer just worried about Ryker’s difficult questions now I wasn’t just avoiding the question. I am now worried wondering why he still haven’t asked me any question. In the days that had passed, he hadn’t asked even once. Not a word about Giselle. No concern, no curiosity. Just silence. And

    Alpha Theron’s POVAndros scoffed, his disbelief clear as he tilted his head back. “You are choosing Astrid over me?” he spat out. “You’re going to make her the crowned Luna of this Pack? It’s only been three years since you met her, and you think she’s worthy of this title? What do you think Asha would say? Astrid isn’t even your legitimate child!”I met his gaze, my own expression resolute. “Astrid has proven herself capable. She’s been our acting Beta for three years and led as the Luna of the Silvermoon Pack for five years before that. She has the qualities, the skills, and the strength needed to lead. In terms of ability, Andros, she does her job far better than you.”Andros’s fists clenched, his expression darkening with insult and rage. “This is madness! The Pack won’t accept it! My mother is your true mate and the Luna of this Pack. Giving your position to someone who isn’t her child is an insult to her legacy and to this Pack!”I took a step forward, my voice unwavering.

    Alpha Theron’s POVA long silence settled over the room after I asked the question, heavy and tense. I kept my gaze fixed on Andros, waiting, hoping for a sign of remorse or an explanation. But what I saw instead shook me to my core. Andros looked back at me, and in that gaze, I saw a stranger. The gentle son I thought I knew was gone, and in his place stood a man cold and unyielding.Then he spoke, his voice sharper and louder than I had ever heard it, filled with a defiance that sent a chill through me. “You want to know why I did it?” he snapped, his tone a mix of anger and something darker. “I did it for us, for this pack. I was doing you a favor by doing what you could never bring yourself to do.”His words stunned me. Andros had never raised his voice to me, not once in all the years I’d known him. Even when I was harsh or demanding — as I always was, he had always accepted it in silence, never challenging me. But now, he stood before me, speaking without restraint, and I

Beta Alek showed it to me and explained what it was.” His eyes held mine, the picture of calm. “Is there something wrong?”Besidehim, Beta Alek looked stricken but hopeful. He took a step forward, his voice shaking with urgency. “Andros, explain everything to your father and tell him that I’m being wronged. I gave you the book didn’t I? I even told you to burn the book for me,” Beta Alek spoke up, trusting that my son would prove his innocence.
