Cynthia Dion: "You rejected her?" I asked, and he nodded."I did. I rejected her a few days ago. In fact, I was never with her, as I said," he explained with a smile. Now that Rosalie was out of the way, I realized we were good until I recalled another issue.This issue was a bit significant for me because it could make him question my faithfulness towards him. But before it's too late and he finds out about it any other way, I have to tell him the truth. So, I was now calming myself down to have a talk with him."Okay!" Since I was already married to his brother-in-law, I made the decision not to worry him about Rosalie either."There is something I wish to tell you about," I said. But as I started talking to him, he appeared disinterested."Atticus? Are you hearing me?" I asked again. He seemed to be shaking his head a lot, constantly trying to hear something."Do you hear the mumbling?" He shook his head once more while scowling and closing one eye."What mumbles?" I turned to loo
Cynthia Dion: Ever since I heard Mr. Holt talk about our honeymoon, I've been feeling unwell and frightened. Maleeka caught my attention as I was leaving the room in an attempt to find Atticus and talk with him."Hey Maleeka, how are you doing?" I grinned at her, thinking maybe she was concerned for me, as I saw her face turn pale. She appeared a bit worn out, almost as if she didn't want to talk to me at all.She gently turned her face away from me and said, "I'm fantastic.""Is everything alright?" I inquired with a hint of concern. She lowered her head and nervously rubbed her hands together as she stared at the floor."Don't we have a strong bond?" She finally turned to face me, her tone critical. "Don't I treat you well?" She shook her head at me."I'm sorry, but I don't understand. Have I done anything to make you think that?" I looked at her with confusion, a weak smile on my lips."Cynthia!" she said to me sternly. "Answer me."Since we had been so kind to each other, I reall
Cynthia Dion: The most horrifying scene flashed before my eyes. Maleeka lay on the ground, blood streaming down her legs."Ahhhh!" She screamed in agony as Mr. Holt and Atticus helped her stand."Oh, God!" I managed to say no more."Call for an ambulance," Atticus shouted into the phone, desperately seeking help."My child!" Mr. Holt held Maleeka in his arms as they both sobbed.I couldn't think straight, so I had no clue what had occurred."What happened? What on earth happened?" Mr. Holt inquired. She cried out in agony as Mr. Holt pressed her face against his chest and hugged her tightly."I don't know, there was oil on the ground," My body tensed as she answered in between hiccups.I took a step back, noticing Atticus staring at me. His jaw dropped, and his eyes were wider than usual."Someone plotted this," she screamed, causing him to gaze at my face in even greater horror.It all appeared extremely suspicious, and unfortunately, I seemed like someone who could be very guilty.
Cynthia Dion: "Hm! Please try to calm down. She's in pain and just looking for someone to blame for her mistake. She didn't even see the oil on the floor. She took the chance away from me; I was about to become a parent," he said, revealing a completely different side of him. His sudden change in behavior, accusing me in front of her and blaming her in front of me, surprised me."Just take it easy, okay?" He gave me a gentle tap on the cheek and confused me with his plans. He added, "We also need to pack for our honeymoon trip next week."He had recently lost his child, so why did he want to go on a honeymoon?"Just let it be for now," Mr. Holt muttered."Okay!" I refrained from getting into a debate with him, knowing that I still had a week to meet with Atticus and hopefully persuade him of my innocence before being forcibly taken on the honeymoon.After taking a shower and preparing for the night, Mr. Holt told me, "I'll sleep in her room so they don't think I don't care about her.
Cynthia Dion: "If I had done all that, I couldn't even live with myself. But I didn't. I will never harm a woman, a man, or an innocent child," I declared loudly, aware of Mr. Holt's gaze. He had urged me to end the argument instead of continuing to talk about it. However, I didn't refrain from defending myself. Her false accusations couldn't make me feel guilty about something so repulsive.She was essentially accusing me of murder, something I would never commit."You succeeded. You threatened me and the--" I rudely interrupted her before she could finish."Maleeka! I'm begging you, please don't lie. You know how terrible things are for me right now. Please don't say anything that might make things worse," she had gone from being very affectionate to a completely different person. I understood that she was upset about losing her baby and that she had been told I had messaged Mr. Holt to persuade her to get rid of the baby. But now, she was using a lie to confirm it was me. I couldn
Cynthia Dion: "Open the door!" He rattled the doorknob forcefully, struggling to unlock it. He was determined to get inside, but I could hear my heart pounding louder than his attempts. My nightgown, which barely covered my thighs, was clutched tightly at the bottom.I hadn't expected him to spend the night in my room.I tried to shift away quietly, hoping he would think I was asleep, but he was too intoxicated to think rationally. His sole objective was to break the door down and enter, regardless of whether he woke up the entire mansion.I began to worry more than usual when a brief moment of silence filled the room. He was probably searching for his keys in his pocket when I heard the sound of keys jingling.I watched him enter with an angry expression after successfully unlocking the door. He stormed in, looking tired, and I took a step back.He stared at me with red eyes and messy clothes."Why didn't you open the door? Who were you hiding in here?" He shouted and glanced around
Cynthia Dion: "Ugh! Wait! Last night, did you suck my dick?" He clapped his hands together and laughed, calling me out for being overly desperate. He was having so much fun fantasizing that I became desperate for him and said, "Now, if I had done anything to you in your sleep, I would be considered a creep."I quietly started to choke on the very concept.I rubbed my elbows vulnerably and turned my face to the wall, murmuring, "You had your pants open when you arrived.""Ah! Right!" He rolled his eyes, since he didn’t believe what I was saying."Would you like me to make your breakfast?" There was no other way he would hear, so I changed the subject."Ahh! No doubt. That much you can do for enjoying my dick last night. So, pull my clothing out of the closet, and make sure you ask Maleeka if she needs anything else before I take her to the hospital," he slapped his lips, let out a crackling sound again, and then murmured the final phrase with a lewdness in his voice."You know she bla
Atticus Snow:"You can't do this to me," she began to cry in front of me, refusing to acknowledge that this was the plan we had agreed upon. Enzo stood awkwardly beside us, glancing around, fully aware of what I was about to do."Rosalie," I rolled my eyes and urged her to stop protesting, "we made this plan together. Now please, quiet down and let's get it over with."She kept trying to persuade me not to reject her, but there was no way I could keep her with me and make Cynthia uncomfortable. It wouldn't make any sense, and I'd feel like a fool. I didn't want to be like Zeon Holt.He might cheat on his partners, but I would never do that to Cynthia, especially not after convincing myself to trust her words."I, Alpha King Atticus, reject you as my mate, Rosalie," I stated firmly, maintaining eye contact with her. She looked as though she'd been struck with a silver knife. The pain would linger for a while, but it would eventually heal because we were never fated mates. It was a mutu
Cynthia Dion:It’s been two years since that unfortunate event happened.Maleeka couldn’t accept that she could no longer force Zeon to be with her.Atticus finally cleaned Eva’s grave, cleared her name, and even buried Zeon next to her. We also renamed the specific block in school to be Eva.I do think that day when I was cleaning in that block, it was Eva’s disturbed soul still wandering around.Maleeka was in the mental asylum, showing no signs of improvement. Atticus made it very clear that even if Maleeka gets better, she will be severely punished.However, things have changed in our relationship as well.We were not only two, in fact, we have welcomed a cute baby girl into our lives after a few months of that whole sad incident.We named her Flora."Flora! Stop running around," I rolled my eyes at her as she ran into Niles, Rosalie, and Enzo’s son.We have gathered around my father’s pack that I’ve recovered to celebrate my pregnancy news with my people."So, how did it go?" Att
Cynthia’s POV:As he finished telling us why he did all that, our faces changed colors. My eyes were teary, and the counsellors looked guilty, too.Maleeka had been breaking down after her dirty criminal history was displayed to everyone.I didn’t even know what to say anymore. The story of Eva and the horrible life she had because of the mean and selfish people around her was so bad.The fact that my mother didn’t even help her out and let the poor victim take a fall broke my heart.I know she was thinking she was doing it for me and Flora, but to push someone else’s daughter into such a shitty situation just for the sake of your daughters is not an excuse.Not to mention, I wonder if what Flora and I went through our entire lives was our mother’s karma, and maybe Eva’s broken heart cries are shadowing our happiness."Zeon!" Since Atticus couldn’t even say a word, I whispered in tears, "I understand your pain and Eva’s suffering, but hurting others wouldn’t bring her back. You can le
Author’s POV:Years Ago:It’s been a month since Eva passed away on the school grounds, and Zeon killed those rogues. Rowdy was the only one that survived, but he went into a coma after that night.Zeon had no clue what to do because it seemed like everybody was more focused on the ones that got killed than on Eva."She was innocent," he yelled at the counselors, who shook their heads at him."We will call our first witness here, who will explain to us how Eva had been clawing at the other boys and meeting them in the library." The elder of the counselor spoke as he pointed at the door. All eyes turned to the door, waiting for this so-called character witness.Zeon didn’t have a very good feeling about it. It seemed like something bad was about to happen. Why did they even need to have an investigation?A she-wolf got gang raped and killed. Why were they investigating her? It was beyond his mind, and he was just plain hurt and lost. There was nobody on his side. He was suffering and w
Author’s POV:Years Ago:After that day, Zeon and Jacque were escorted out and even got detention. Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. Nothing happened to Maleeka; the guards were even assigned to her to stop Zeon from coming after her.She would go to school every day and watch Zeon and Eva together. She was not at all satisfied with what she had done; in fact, if Eva were still alive, she would consider herself a failure.Although she was surprised to hear Eva get pregnant again, And this time, she couldn’t even get near her because all the eyes would be on her."This is the girl," she had asked for some rogue criminals to meet her after school."She is beautiful," there were five rogue young boys, probably 19, the same age as them."She will be alone in the school today, doing some assignments in the library. You can enter the school and get your hands on her. Listen, her mate will be there, but you can take him out with wolfbane. Remember, you are not supposed to hurt h
Author’s POV:Years Ago:"What do you mean by she stole your mate? Zeon is her mate. That’s what everybody knows." Mrs. Dion, who thought of Maleeka as this innocent and sweet little girl, was ready to accept any lie she was going to tell her."She was the second chance, mate. Zeon accepted me two years ago. We used to be together; we were never separated, and then i--- then I got pregnant with him, but during that time, she joined school. She caused my abortion. I know it is not an excuse to do the same to someone else, but think of it as your own daughter. You have a little daughter that you gave birth to with so much difficulty. Can you imagine anyone hurting her? Just imagine what I have been through." She sniffled as she shed crocodile tears. She was sneaking glances at Mrs. Dion, too.She wanted to get out of this mess by any means."I am so sorry that happened to you, but I still have to tell the counsel about the video. You can rest your case before them. If you are innocent,
Author’s POV:Years Ago:"How the hell did it happen?" Ever since Zeon got informed about Eva’s accident at school, he has been wandering in the school’s hallway and crying.Jacque and Bonnie had been sticking with him and feeling worried about him.He was in disbelief that such a horrible thing happened to Eva on the school’s grounds."There is no way she just fell off the stairs," he shook his head, not ready to believe what the school staff has been telling him."I understand your concern, but getting all stressed out won’t do anybody any favors," Jacque stepped forward to comfort Zeon, who was going crazy worrying about Eva.Bonnie and Jacque were worried for their friend and Zeon; they had never seen him so stressed out. On the other hand, Maleeka had returned home but was a little panicky. She has hurt Eva before, but this time she was directly involved.It just made her feel a little stressed. What if somebody saw her? It happened in a school, so there was a huge possibility so
Author’s POV:Years Ago:Eva was hanging out with Maleeka a lot after that day. She told Zeon that Maleeka apologized and promised to act well around her. Although he didn’t believe Maleeka, he couldn’t force Eva into deciding who to hang out with and who to ignore.He was just too concerned because Eva was too pure in her heart. One day, when Zeon was sent to the councillors for some pack-related stuff since he was supposed to be the royal beta of the pack in the future, Maleeka visited Eva.She knew Eva would be alone at home, so she didn’t want to miss this opportunity to mess things up for her. She has heard from Eva’s friend that Eva was pregnant, and it has enraged Maleeka.She was glad she heard her friends talking because she was ready to do any dirty job in order to stop Eva from giving Zeon an heir."I am so happy," Eva was pleased, clapping hands every two minutes and imaging having a child with Zeon."You two got married, too. I am surprised you hid it from me," Maleeka wa
Author's POVYears Ago:Zeon’s confession of love to Eva has left everyone in shock. Prior to this day, everybody assumed Zeon was going to accept Maleeka, but it all changed. Zeon didn’t hesitate to send back everything Maleeka had bought him in order to keep him to herself. He had cut ties with Maleeka entirely and had Eva move in. He was back in his old home, but because Eva was happy there, he didn’t feel any difference. In fact, he liked it more that way.One day, when Eva had fallen asleep, Maleeka kept blowing up his number. It had been months since Zeon and Eva had moved in together. He had been taking care of her in school to make sure nobody bullied her. He knew the instant he left her alone, Maleeka would approach her to say something."Talk to her; give her closure," Eva finally raised her face and told Zeon to speak to Maleeka."I have many times. She is not ready to understand anything," Zeon got up from behind Eva as he unwrapped his arms from around her and picked up t
Author's POV:Years Ago:"What did you say?" Zeon expressed, shocked when hearing her concern.Did she really think he was capable of killing her? Did she really think of him as an animal enough to kill someone?It surprised and unsettled him at the same time."Are you going to do something bad to me?" she proceeded to ask him while tears ran down her cheeks.That moment was the moment of realization for him.He never intended to hurt her. He was just making sure she didn’t leave until he told her what he felt."No! No! EVA NO!" He yelled in desperation, "Before even laying a finger on you, I’d end my life," he rested his hands on the tree and brought his face closer to hers."I didn’t bring you here to hurt you. I brought you here to let you know how much I’m hurting," As his tone softened and his eyes were filled with mist, she realized he was suffering and had used the wrong way to express his emotions."I’m sorry that I did that. I shouldn’t have stolen the chance of making a deci
