My daughter, Nevaeh, had woken me up with her tiny little cries a few hours later. I finally got to see her properly and I noticed some things about her features.

Though her facial features, precisely her nose and mouth resemble mine, she has her father's green eyes and some patches of his black hair. I hope she doesn't grow up to look like him, the thought of it makes me sad but I shake it off.

I breastfeed her for the first time and it feels both very exciting and ticklish. She only drinks the little milk her tiny baby belly can accept before she falls right back asleep like the sweet darling she is.

I kiss her forehead and wish her a good sleep before putting her back in her crib.

My stomach growls, reminding me just how long it's been since I've had anything to eat. Despite the memory of ingesting poison coming back to me as a flashback, it's unable to drive the hunger away and I decide to get myself something.

    What?! I almost can't believe my ears. Richard had almost hit Elsie and there was that piece about him causing Margallo to have a miscarriage when he was angry? How is that even possible? When had Margallo been pregnant? Just what is going on here? I can't handle any more of this mystery so I know it's finally time to make my presence known, they sure have a lot of explaining to do."It's OK, it'll be alright. I have to admit that Richard does find it hard to maintain self control when he's angry and that's why he tries his best not to get angry easily. He used to be violent whenever he got angry when we were younger but after a series of punishments from our father, he learnt to control his temper because he knew he was going to become a leader someday. I honestly thought he had overcome it because he's been calm for a long time. I'm sure he didn't mean to raise his hand to you, I'm pretty sure it's just the pressure that Margallo has mounted on all of us.Besides, he loves you so he

    I sit on a sofa in one of the guest rooms with a pen and book in my hands and patiently wait for Margallo's arrival. It's morning and I could barely sleep last night. Elsie slept with me on my bed. She said she would feel safer as long as she stayed with me even if it meant her sleeping on the floor and I definitely couldn't have that.How could I let Luna Elsie of the Kizmet Pack sleep on the floor? It's completely unimaginable. I'd thought about the audience with Margallo all night and I was surprised to receive a reply from her saying she was ready to have a word with me. So here I am, seated and waiting. To be honest, I'm currently a nervous wreck. I know how she can be and just how mean she can get. Will she be willing to listen to me? And even if she does, what is the guarantee that she will take my advice?I won't be able to communicate with her properly and I can only wonder if she'll have the patience to at least hear me out. I wonder why she even agreed to have the audience

    "Despite meeting such people, my troubles weren't nearly even over, I suffered from severe PTSD. I had nightmares which led to insomnia and severe depression, which eventually almost led to suicide and it was all because I had tried to hide my pain from the people who cared. I thought I could handle it all on my own but I couldn't, I needed the love and support.Sometimes, we don't need plans, plots or schemes, we just need people to talk to, a willing shoulder to cry on and let it all out. My case became so bad that I attempted suicide but a friend managed to save me in time. I finally opened up to my new family and got the much needed relief but then, I found out about another disturbing fact, I was pregnant.I had gotten pregnant from rape. I hated my baby's father so I tried to get an abortion at first but I just couldn't so I decided to keep my baby and raise my child to be much better than her father and I'm glad that I did. I have a wonderful family who are willing to support m

    I arrived at the throne room with Margallo. Everyone already seemed so tense but they straightened up as soon as they saw her.She walked straight up to Elsie and grabbed her in a hug, taking everyone by surprise."I'm really sorry Luna Elsie. I apologize for my behavior towards you. I was harsh and thoughtless. I was just so focused on causing you pain that I forgot that true happiness is only attained when you make others happy.I know the pain of losing a child, I don't want you to have to go through that pain. All this while, I thought that revenge was all I needed, I really thought it was necessary in order for me to find happiness but Evelyn has managed to make me see the truth. She's a very nice person, she was willing to see the good in me despite the fact that I tried to kill her. You are all lucky to have her." Margallo said and broke from the hug."There's really no need to apologize dear and please call me Elsie. I've never really held a grudge against you, I've always con

    I'm getting ready for another party and this time, it's going to be a joyous celebration.Emily helped me get ready quickly while Elsie came over to my room to play with Nevaeh a bit.Nevaeh is a very sweet child, it's been only about two weeks since she was born and yet she hasn't troubled me for a second. She barely cries, she only does when she's hungry, messy or when she just needs my attention."It's such a shame that I can't take her outside of this room yet, she's just so beautiful. Don't worry Nevie, I'll give you a little cousin to play with soon." She said and tickled my little angel who laughed so sweetly. Nevie is the nickname that Elsie gave to my daughter and I have to admit that it suits her well."Good, you're done. You're looking so beautiful as always. Emily will look after Nevie while we're gone." Elsie said and I nodded. I kissed my little princess before heading to the Grand hall with Elsie for the party."Richard is going to make a special announcement today." Sh

    How is this possible? How can I be a Beta female? Just like that? I'm not even from this pack so how could the Alpha trust me with such a high position? I haven't really done anything honorary, I was just doing my duty. I was indebted to them from the start so I just wanted to do something that would make me feel less like a leech but I truly don't deserve this position.Especially as I can't even speak. How am I supposed to be of any use to the Alpha when I can't even express myself? I know that the Alpha already has a Beta male but still, this position will require me to contribute to every decision of the Alpha and how can I do that? Just how am I supposed to go about this? No, I can't accept this. I just can't."Don't you dare Evelyn. Do you really want to reject the position given to you by the Alpha himself? Do you know how huge of an insult that would be? Do you want to seem disrespectful and ungrateful to the Alpha despite everything they've done for us?" Tara questioned, putt

    It's been about two weeks since I became the new Beta female and though the Alpha hasn't requested my audience yet, I've waited in anticipation. I wonder what being in an official meeting feels like, especially since I'll be expected to contribute and everyone's eyes will be on me. The thought gives me jitters again but I cast it aside. I'm totally ready for this and I'll give it my all. It's a responsibility I'm ready to accept.I've been attending therapy for almost two weeks now and though I can't say it's been fun having to remember and acknowledge the past, I can say it's been very uplifting. It's really been less than two weeks but I feel like a completely different person. I've acknowledged that I didn't make a mistake, being born mute or not transforming when I was supposed to wasn't my doing, it wasn't my mistake and I didn't deserve to be treated the way I was. I've accepted that Zephyr was the one who made a mistake and he had no right to accuse and abuse me no matter what.

    "Evelyn, what are you still doing up there? Aren't you done yet?" Kayden asked me and I nodded my head and signaled him to wait a bit.It's tucked far away, almost as if someone didn't want anyone to access it and this is what intrigues me more."What could be so good about a dusty old book that seems to interest you so much?" Tara questioned.'I really don't know Tara but I just feel drawn to it. I just have to get that book and find out. If it doesn't meet my expectations, I can just put it back.' I told Tara and she said nothing else.I reach into the inner shelf and try to grab the book but I'm unable to reach it and I can't stand on my tippy toes since I'm on a ladder, I might fall.All of a sudden, I feel powerful arms wrap around my waist tightly and lift me up a bit. I look back and see Kayden smiling at me. I give him a worried look and he still smiles at me."Please don't give me that look Evelyn, do you really think that I'll drop you? Don't you trust me that much? I've alr

    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
