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 opened my eyes and saw that I was still with Kayden but taking a look around, I instantly saw that we were not in the library anymore.We were in a big open space filled with vegetation and greenery. And instead of a book, the light by the name of Voithós had taken shape and though his face was too bright to see, his body was well built and he was dressed like a god."Where are we?" I asked Tara but she didn't reply. The fact that Tara didn't reply was quickly overshadowed by a shocking revelation. The sound of my own voice dropped on my ears like a bomb. I had actually spoken for the first time ever."How…….. How is this possible?" I questioned no one in particular. "Evelyn, you……. You can talk." Kayden said, sounding just as shocked as I was."You can talk." He reiterated and grabbed me in a hug while I just stood still, unable to grasp what was going on. I can talk, but how? How is that even possible? I've been mute from birth, doctors said that my vocal cords never developed so
Aurelia had a newborn baby in her arms and Hendrick was beside her. She was smiling contentedly while people congratulated them continuously on the birth of their son."She looks happy, everything seems to be fine, I'm really not seeing the consequence of their wish." I blurted out before I could stop myself."You should be patient, everything in life has its own natural order. I can see you're really enjoying your ability to speak, just be careful not to misuse it too much." Voithós said in a light tone and I clenched my fists in anger but Kayden held my hand and I felt my anger instantly disappear. How is it possible that only he has the power to change my mood even with the slightest of gestures or contact?"You don't have to be so strict, she didn't say anything wrong, she was just asking questions." Kayden defended me and a smile lit my face."I never said she was doing something wrong, I only said to be careful with the ability she has been granted. Selene seems to consider her
"Yes, I have. I don't really know, all they told me when I asked was that it's a special day in their lives so that's why they celebrate it. They never specifically said what they were celebrating but that still doesn't prove anything." Kayden said and I felt tense. It must be hard finding out about such intimate information from a stranger. This must be exactly how he felt when he learnt about Richard and Margallo's relationship from Margallo.I'm learning about my soon to be mate's family and this exactly isn't the best of ways."You ought to be wiser than that, Kayden, my boy. You have great wisdom and potential, use them. Your mother took in soon after your parents became mates and she gave birth to a son which they named Thomas. He was born on the 14th of March but he died seven months later. Your parents were so sad and heartbroken, especially your mother. She refused to eat anything and constantly cried about her lost child. The whole pack was plunged into mourning due to the d
"Aargh………. Nevaeh……….." He drawled and brought her into his embrace. "This is our son you're talking about, he is your very own flesh and blood and you already consider him dead?" Luna Nevaeh lamented."You know I didn't mean it like that, I love Kayden as much as you. By Selene's grace, he'll grow up to become one of the best and we'll be proud of him. I just don't want favoritism between our boys." Alpha Nicholas said and patted Luna Nevaeh's back, trying his best to comfort her.If not for the sad situation, I would have been thrilled by how much they seem to love each other. "I'm trying my best to keep it together but I don't know if I'm strong enough. I've already lost one child, I promise you that I won't be able to take it if I lose another." Luna Nevaeh said as she wept into her mate's chest."Shush, don't talk like that. Nothing will happen to you or our child, I promise. I've found a solution." Alpha Nicholas assured. "That's what you said the last three times but still, ou
"No! This can't be. None of this is real. It's not true, it's all false. This couldn't have happened. I never had an older brother who died and I wasn't born half dead. My mother never agreed to any half ass deal. This is all nonsense, you're trying to confuse me." Kayden argued, he held his head as if trying to fight his thoughts and tears poured down his cheeks.I immediately rushed to him and grabbed him in my arms trying to comfort him."I knew this would be very hard and painful for you to accept and that's why I was very reluctant to show it to you but as the guardian, I must give you appropriate warning, the goddess demanded it. Everything I'm showing you is real and it really happened. Since it's too devastating to watch, I'm going to tell you the rest of the story instead.Your mother accepted the deal, she made a wish and granted you life and good health but she took the consequence upon herself. She willingly gave up her life so you could live and be happy. She was a very c
As we watched the scene before us, I entwined my fingers with Kayden's for moral support, I knew that this was going to be more or less a psychological torture for him. I squeezed his hand and smiled at him encouragingly but he couldn't return the smile and my heart stung.The scene before us showed where Luna Nevaeh made her wish even without Alpha Nicholas's full consent and just then, baby Kayden opened his eyes for the first time and began crying like a normal babyLuna Nevaeh was so happy and she cried tears of joy while Alpha Nicholas just stood there, shocked. Luna Nevaeh tried to get him to be happy about it but he was more worried about her.After Voithós granted the wish, he disappeared into the book and it closed once more. Voithós then skipped the scene to five months later when Luna Nevaeh was critically ill. Kayden was learning to sit but still needed some assistance but Luna Nevaeh couldn't even get up from bed. She looked terrible, her eyes had dark patches underneath
