"Are you OK?" Emily questioned. I put my hand to my head and looked around before heaving a sigh and nodding my head slowly.

"Are you sure? You were turning a lot and I got scared. Are you really fine? Would you rather have a word with her Highness or the queen mother instead?" Emily asked further, looking genuinely worried.

I thought about it carefully and shook her head no. I didn't want to bother any of them anymore with my problems, they had already done enough for me.

Besides, telling them would not do anything for me, it wouldn't take away the nightmares, it would only increase their anger towards Zephyr and as I said before, I don't want to be the reason for a war, I only want peace.

Emily understood and didn't ask further. "Alright. Please get ready quickly, breakfast will be ready soon and I'm sure everyone will be expecting you at the table." Emily said while she drew up the curtains and sunlight washed into the room.

I sat up properly and made to get out of bed but I sat ba

    I had another nightmare that night and the following nights. I've been living in the palace for two weeks now and each night, I always had a nightmare about Zephyr either beating me up and killing me or raping me. This gradually plunged me into insomnia and then depression. I couldn't eat properly and I grew scared of sleeping. Tara tried to talk me out of it but she couldn't. It was apparent that she was also scared too.Elsie noticed my sudden withdrawal and she tried to find out what the problem was but I couldn't bring myself to tell her. I knew telling someone would help to bring me some relief but I still felt scared, I didn't want to recall what he did to me so many days ago.Ana hadn't been feeling well so she didn't find out about my withdrawal and it was better she didn't know, I really didn't want to add to her problems.Emily also tried to help but I just pushed her away and stopped communicating with her. Kayden gradually became a pain because he was trying to look for wa

    I almost couldn't believe it. I'm…… I'm pregnant? But how? Flashes of that night come into my mind. No….. No….. It……. It can't be. I try to convince myself that I couldn't be pregnant from Zephyr raping me but alas, I was failing miserably at it. How can I be pregnant with that monster's child? My life is officially ruined, he had managed to succeed in his plans. He was right when he said that I would never be able to truly escape him. I had run away from the pack, met up with amazing people who had taken me in and treated me no less than a queen but yet I wasn't completely free from him, he still managed to haunt my dreams, to toy with my sanity and now his seed is growing inside me. Just how cruel could fate be? What had I done to deserve this?I didn't even realize when I burst into tears. Elsie saw this and the look on her face turned from one of anger to that of worry and sadness."Evelyn, Evelyn are you OK? Why are you crying so much? I didn't mean to upset you, you know you ca

    I wrote down my decision and Elsie nodded her head and smiled at me but I knew she wasn't genuinely happy with me because her smile was fake, it didn't reach her eyes. She was only smiling at me as a form of encouragement but I know that this is a step I need to take."That's good. You're the one carrying the child so only you can decide if you want to give birth to him or not. I want you to know that I'll always support you no matter what decision you make.You must be feeling tired and hungry, I'll send Emily to bring you something to eat and you have to eat it, OK? If you don't I'll be mad at you." She threatened and I smiled and nodded, it just feels so good to have someone who is willing to support you through anything."I'll go check up on our mother for now, just please eat and rest properly, I'll come back to check on you soon." She promised and stood up to leave.She got to the door and turned to me, giving me a smile before walking out."What? Have you gone crazy?" Tara atta

    He walked up to me and grabbed me in a hug and I couldn't help blushing. "Are you alright?" He questioned and I nodded. "I came as soon as I heard the news, what were you thinking when you hurt yourself? Don't you realize the high amount of pressure you've put on everyone. So many people care about you so you should think about them as well before making any rash decisions." He cautioned and I smiled, knowing that he cared about me.Emily cleared her throat signaling us that she was still present and Kayden instantly pulled away, realizing that we weren't alone."I have a request, please don't do something like that ever again." He pleaded and I nodded. I wasn't even going to think of the possibility."Emily, is she really OK? What did the doctor say?" He questioned. "She's fine, the doctor only said she needs to eat a lot of healthy food, rest and also exercise so that her baby would be born healthy." Emily said and Kayden's smile disappeared instantly."What? What are you talking a

    I felt a pair of hands on me but I didn't open my eyes, still too tired to care. I finally opened my eyes when I felt like I was being moved. My eyes hurt as they were still hazy with sleep so I kept them half lidded, just so I could get a glimpse of what was going on. I saw that my surroundings seemed to be moving and then I finally realized that I wasn't dreaming, I was actually being moved.I shot my head up so fast that it ached. I saw that Kayden was the one carrying me. He had me securely wrapped in his arms and he was carrying me to my room, bridal style. My sudden movements must have alerted him of my consciousness."Ssh….. Don't say anything, just go back to sleep. You're safe with me." He hushed and whispered to me sweetly and I don't know why but my body just relaxed instantly. I hadn't known him very long but I knew that I could trust him.I closed her eyes once more and I felt him place me on something soft that sank instantly. I immediately realized it was my bed. I woul

    "Are you sure you want to do this? The effects are irreversible." The doctor asked and I nodded. She sighed and gave me the pill.Ana, Elsie and Emily smiled at me reassuringly but it just made me nervous. If I was going to terminate my pregnancy, then I'd much appreciate it if four people weren't staring at me as if I were about to commit the worst crime ever.I took my book and pen and wrote down that I'd prefer to do this in solitary. Elsie read it and nodded. "Sorry, we'll give you some space then. We'll be waiting outside in case you need anything." She said and they turned to leave."You'll surely experience some pain and discomfort when the pill kicks in but if it becomes unbearable or you feel like something's wrong, alert me instantly." The doctor advised and I nodded. They all left the room, finally leaving me to do what I've wanted to do since I found out about this pregnancy.I don't know why but I feel very nervous about this, there's an uncanny feeling in my lower belly

    "You mean Margallo." She corrected him."Yes, Margallo." Alpha Richard said and it was obvious that he would have rolled his eyes if it weren't rude."Margallo? What kind of name is that? She's going to be a bitch for sure, I can already feel it." Tara said and I sighed.'Tara, you're only saying this because you're hurt as well but we really shouldn't blame her. If there's someone we should be mad at, it should be Kayden. He hid the truth from us and toyed with our emotions. I'll never forgive him for this.' I told Tara and she said nothing but she continued to rage within me. She had every right to, I also felt the same way but I had to control myself."Evelyn, meet Margallo, Margallo meet Evelyn." Kayden introduced the both of us but I just stared at him with eyes full of hurt and when he saw how I felt, he looked away just like a coward."Whatever." The annoying girl by the name of MARGALLO said dismissively as if I wasn't there or I was a little piece of detail she could simply i

    I was awestruck at first not knowing what to do or reacting so he just dominated the kiss. When his hand came to my neck and caressed it, tickling my sweet spot, I immediately lost to him and kissed back, still leaving him in control as I was completely inexperienced in such things."Evelyn, Evelyn snap out of it!" Tara called and I instantly recovered my senses and pulled away, breaking the kiss and turning away."Evelyn, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." He tried to apologise but I was willing to hear none of it. He had tried to take advantage of me during my weakest moment and I couldn't allow it. He definitely wasn't good for me. I glared at him and pointed to the door, signalling him to leave immediately."No." He told me sternly while I just stared at him in shock."No. I'm not leaving until I make you understand that I never meant to hurt you." He said and moved towards me while I slowly drifted backwards carefully.I shook my head and kept advancing backwards, pleading with him not to

    I began shaking before I knew it, fresh tears gathering at the edge of my eyes."You don't have to worry, it's not too deep. I just have to take you to the Pack house quickly so you can be safe before I deal with this bastard. I won't show him mercy this time for making an attempt on the love of my life." Zephyr assured me and took me in a hug, patting my back soothingly.We detached from the hug and looked to where Ruben was formerly laying, he was nowhere to be found and I could feel my adrenaline rush. "Evelyn!" Zephyr called suddenly, making my heart nearly leap out of my chest. Before I have time to wonder what might be going on, he grabs a hold of my wrist and crashes my body against his in a hug, instantly turning us around and switching our position and barely a few seconds later, I hear a sick sound of metal digging into flesh. I immediately feel nauseous as the vomit quickly rushes up my throat but I manage to hold it back.Still in his tight embrace, I take a look and see

    After returning to my room, only then did I realize how harsh I had been to Zephyr. I had never acted like that towards anyone before but I was so filled with anger and the memories of my past suffering that I went overboard just a little bit. I felt a little guilty but I decided that I wouldn't apologize to him. He deserved everything he got.When I returned to my room, Nevaeh was fast asleep once more and I thanked my mum for her efforts but she asked me about what happened between Zephyr and I and I told her I was feeling too tired to talk. I would be willing to discuss it the next day because I'm tired and a pregnant woman really needs her sleep.She left and I took a bath before going to bed.I woke up early the next day and prepared for the meeting while I left Nevaeh with my mother since Linda was apparently too careless. I wouldn't have to go through any of this if the girl would just do her job right. I only took her with me because she's Emily's cousin.I made my way to the

    Special Chapter: Zephyr's POVEvelyn released a sarcastic laugh before continuing."When did you reject her? You rejected her when you rejected and banished me four years ago because I was probably already pregnant with her but you heartlessly separated me from the only family I had ever known and forced me into the wilderness.My daughter and I would have died if a kind woman hadn't found me, freezing to death in a heavy storm. She took me in and provided me with everything that your petty revenge had stolen away from me, love, care and family. She gave me even more than I had lost and I'll always be grateful to her.When I found out I was pregnant with your child, I was disgusted because I was reminded of how she had been conceived. Your brutality almost made me kill one of the most beautiful things in my life but I managed to stop myself in the nick of time.I didn't want my daughter to be born to a man like you, or have to refer to someone like you as father but the people around

    Special Chapter: Zephyr's POV"How old are you?" I asked her once more. "I'm three years old." She answered and everything was quickly starting to come together. I'm almost sure that Evelyn is her mother but then again, it might just be a coincidence, especially since I've not seen the both of them together. I can't just go around hurling accusations without any evidence, especially since Evelyn is currently a guest here. I have to find out the truth no matter what."Now will you help me find my mummy, Mr?" Nevaeh asked, bringing me back to the present."Of course but I need to find out something first. What is your mother's name?" I asked and she said nothing at first, almost as if she was contemplating whether to tell me or not. She finally answered shortly."I'm sorry but I can't tell you. You're a stranger and my mummy says not to tell her name to strangers." Nevaeh said and her words hit me straight in the heart. My own daughter thinks I'm a stranger and I can't do anything about

    Special Chapter: Author's POVLinda sat and watched Nevaeh as she slept but the young girl soon grew bored and decided to take a short snack break.She checked and made sure that Nevaeh seemed comfortable before quietly leaving the room.Shortly after, the sleeping child turned around on her side, as she attempted to fully go back to sleep, lightning flashed and thunder struck, instantly waking her up with a scare. Nevaeh quickly sat up and looked around, frightened, her vision was a bit blurry due to sleep but she was still aware of her surroundings.She scratched at her eyes a bit and looked around but she found no one. She called out to her mum and Linda but she got no reply and she became very scared.At the sound of another thunderbolt, Nevaeh practically jumped from the bed and began crying. She walked around the room and even went to the bathroom but she still couldn't find anyone. She kept calling out to her mother but all she could hear was the sound of her own voice and the

    I sighed as Linda helped me get ready. I really don't want to go to this party, I don't know why but I have a pretty bad feeling about it. I won't let myself be fooled by him, I'm pretty sure that Zephyr has a motive behind this party but I can't seem to figure out what it is.Even though I don't want to, I have no choice but to go and besides, I want to know what Zephyr has planned for me.She finishes putting my hair in a tight bun and places a tiara on my head."Take it off." I order instantly and she seems stunned for a moment."But why your highness? It suits you perfectly, delicately complimenting your beauty and besides, you're a Princess." She said with a smile and I wanted to play into her innocent mindset but I couldn't. She's ignorant and naive, she has no idea about my past and she certainly doesn't know how much I want to avoid Zephyr and hide the truth of my current life from him."You don't have the right to question me Linda, I said take it off now." I replied harshly

    Lydia turned out to be a very cute and chubby baby, she was just so cuddly that I felt like holding her in my arms forever, she also was a very quiet child which made being with her all the more enjoyable. I introduced Nevaeh to her and my smartass daughter wanted to carry her baby cousin so I sat Nevie down and placed Lydia in her arms. Nevaeh squealed when Lydia touched her nose with her small hand and we all laughed because it was the cutest thing ever. I really wish things could keep being like this, just me and my family having the time of our lives with no more problems. That would be the best gift ever.Just then, we heard a knock on the door and my mum went to answer. She had a short and low conversation with whoever was at the door before returning to us with a worried face."The Alpha just called your father and I and I don't necessarily have a good feeling about it." My mother revealed.Since it's the Alpha calling, they have no choice but to go. "You both should go, if he

    "Your daughter? But how is that even possible?" My mother questioned and then I realized that no one else knew what had happened between me and Zephyr the night before he banished me.They only knew about my banishment, they didn't know that he had sexually assaulted me and I would have to be reminded of that terrible experience. I would just have to tell them but I couldn't do it in front of Nevaeh, I would just have to take her somewhere else.As if on cue, I heard a knock on my door and it opened shortly after to show Linda. I smiled at her arrival, happy that she would be able to take care of Nevaeh while I told my parents everything."I'm so sorry your highness, I didn't mean to barge in like this but you said to come to your room shortly after we got settled in. Am I interrupting your discussion? I'll leave right now." She said but I stopped her."Wait! I didn't say you could leave, did I?" I questioned and she instantly apologized."I'm so sorry your highness, I just thought th

    Everything suddenly became blurry, a sudden cold rushed over me and my heart stopped for a split second. I stood there frozen, trying to figure what I was supposed to be feeling, the numbness was almost impenetrable."Evelyn." My father called but I could barely hear him, I couldn't tell what was going on, I had suddenly lost touch with everything."Evelyn." My mother called and shook me vigorously and when she did, the words finally hit me again, breaking through my emotional barriers."Noooooooo….." I whimpered, the tears pouring down my cheeks. "How could that be? No, you're lying to me. Moira is a strong girl, she wouldn't just die. It's OK if she doesn't want to see me right now, I'll wait until she's ready." I tried to lie to myself but it just wasn't working. The words were continuously ringing in my head and my heart was aching.I know that Moira and I had never really gotten along much but she's still my little sister. I carried her in my arms after she was born and I love he
