Cynthia Dion:No!" I shook my head. He sighed, but then I added, "He will find me." I finished, and his mood changed again. He was staring at my face with so much tiredness that I could tell he was warning me not to annoy him."And you know what? I don’t even want him to be an Alpha or Beta. They are not fun. I will be happy with a Gamma or an Omega," I continued to tease him. He rolled his eyes and let out a deep sigh."I am very sleepy," he commented."But I am not done yet. I want to talk about my mate and what I want to do when I find him." It was so fun annoying him. He looked very cute with that angry pout on his lips."Cynthia! If you are so keen on talking about your so-called future mate, close your eyes and talk about him all you want in your dreams," he blurted out, closing his eyes tightly.I was smiling while he was just silently lying there, and then he let out a scoff, probably still angry at what he had heard from me."You know, I feel li---," I started talking again b
Cynthia Dion:"Why," she uncovered her face from her hands and locked eyes with me, "Cynthia! Why did you put me through all this? Why did you hypnotize him and make him do all this? Didn’t you like Atticus? And if you did want him, then why did you cheat on him after he married you? I don’t understand, I don’t get it. I don’t know what's the matter with you, but I’m suffering because of your games," she was wailing, and her gaze was breaking my heart."How did you turn out so different from your mother? She was such a nice person; she was such a nice teacher," as she kept murmuring, my body shuddered. Why was she bringing up my mother all of a sudden? How on earth did she know so much about her?"You knew my mother?" I asked because I have never been told much about her. Dad never mentioned her. He would only recall her as an excuse whenever he wanted to beat us up."I knew her. She wasn’t only my teacher but my mentor as well," she finished, and my frown grew bigger. I don’t really
Cynthia Dion:"Maleeka! Listen to me," Atticus broke the hug and cradled her face in his hands. "That man could be lying; even if there's a slight chance that he's lying about the whole hypnotism thing, tell me how you would feel leaving your child with a man who, even for a minute, you know cares nothing about you or your child. Tell me." Atticus was trying to persuade her not to let Mr. Holt control her, but she was madly in love with this man and wasn’t ready to believe anybody else over him for life."I know he is telling the truth. I used to think maybe he was lying, but not anymore," she sounded confident enough, and that baffled my mind. There is no way a woman would forgive or want to believe a man who is this murderous."Maleeka! He can be----," Atticus believed me, so he wasn’t blindly accepting Maleeka's trust in Mr. Holt."Are you going to bring him home or not, Atticus? If he doesn’t come home, then either I will leave with him or I will le---ave you all," the way her voi
Cynthia Dion:"Maleeka! You shouldn’t be stressing out so much," Atticus spoke when she came into view. "It's fine; I am happy that we are bringing him home. Once he is home, everything will be fine again," she excitedly cheered while a tear ran down her eye. I felt bad for her."Yeah! I hope he keeps you happy after that," Atticus muttered under his breath. "So, where is he? Where are we going?" I interrupted because his location had been kept hidden from us so far."We are not going anywhere. He said he would come home in a few minutes, and then we can discuss matters," she stated without looking my way, but at least she answered me, unlike all the other times when she would ignore me.Atticus and I shared a glance because we knew that man was too desperate to come back home, or maybe he didn’t want us to know about his hiding place.We all sat down to have breakfast until then, which was Atticus’s idea. He took a seat with Maleeka so that he could feed her himself because she was s
Cynthia Dion:"There is a problem with her wolf; she does something, and then Cynthia doesn’t even remember what happened, so we are trying to get her help," Atticus backed me up, but it didn’t sit well with Mr. Holt. He didn’t want me to get a pass on anything; he wanted to portray me as an evil person."But she hypnotized Zeon!" Maleeka spoke up, and a smile covered Mr. Holt's lips. He was satisfied that his mate was doing the devil's job on his behalf."That is why we are reaching out to the wolf, because Cynthia has no clue what happened. Do you think if she was so powerful that she could control Mr. Holt, she wouldn’t have fought him when he----," Atticus recalled the incident of my child’s loss."When what?" Mr. Holt asked, narrowing his eyes at me, "It actually started with her attacking me. She suggested we go on the honeymoon, and suddenly she was attacking me, so I had to push her away and fight for myself. Since I had escaped the hypnotism already, I was able to beat her do
Cynthia Dion:"We would have asked for your help since you are a trainer, but I don’t think my wolf would like it very much. You know we don’t want to trigger her," I added once I saw him opening his damn mouth to probably say something."Hm!" he clenched his jaw, probably unhappy with the whole new change in everybody’s perspectives."Then you don’t need to apologize. I would like your wolf to realize her mistakes, and then she should be the one to apologize," Maleeka stopped me from apologizing, which brought a sad smile across Mr. Holt’s lips.He had come to realize he could not even threaten her to leave now because everything had been shifted from him to me."Right Zeon? Her apology means nothing if it was her wolf who caused all this. Making her apologize just means nothing," she whispered to her man, holding his hand and trying to get an insight into what he was thinking.Now that she has turned attention to him, we all looked his way. He had been awfully silent until she grabb
Cynthia Dion:Ever since we have welcomed Zeon into our lives again, he was acting super weird. He would not talk too much to anyone and keep it to himself for most parts of it. He was also very silent whenever it came to Maleeka wishing a baby shower. Atticus and I have decided to throw the baby shower for Maleeka ourselves since Zeon wasn't expressing too much excitement."Can I speak to you for a moment?" I saw Maleeka strolling in the garden and approached her. Her mood has been pretty better except for worrying about Zeon. He didn’t seem to find pleasure in anything, nothing intrigued him."Sure," she stopped in her steps and passed me a weak smile. We had been through a lot and finally she was talking to me again."So, Atticus and I have been thinking about arranging a baby shower and gender reveal party for you," I told her about the discussions Atticus and I had been having regarding the baby shower. She deserved this after losing her baby so many times."Really? That's so swe
Cynthia Dion:"Enzo! Wow! I didn’t expect to see you today," Atticus hugged his friend and whispered something in his ear before stepping out of the way. Our spanking session was interrupted by the arrival of his friends.I furrowed my brows as I tried to understand why he would be so sneaky with him."I know. I have apologized already and I won’t show any disrespect," Enzo stepped away from him and slapped his chest, revealing the secret gossip to be Atticus warning him not to misbehave with me.Mr. Holt had sat down before us to not miss out on anything. From the smirk on his lips, I began to wonder if he was expecting some arguments."So," Enzo sat down while Atticus pulled my chair like a chairman and helped me sit down before he took a seat himself."Hey," Before Enzo could continue, Maleeka walked out of the mansion to welcome and greet Enzo. The two hugged, and after everybody had sat down, I saw Enzo turn to face me.My muscles stiffened at the attention. Even Atticus seemed o
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
