WHITNEY'S POVI was trembling with trepidation as my brother unfolded the test result and gazed at it. At first, he had an impassive countenance but within a split second, he looked horrified and confused. Then he raised his head and we made eye contact. His eyes were filled with pain and his brow creased in confusion. "Whitney, what is the meaning of this?" he asked in an emotionally laden voice that did not sound like his voice.I gazed at him in confusion. I didn't know how to respond to his question. I tried to speak but my lips suddenly became too heavy for me and no sound came from my mouth. I was staring at him like someone in a trance. Instantly, tears welled up in my eyes."Whitney, I just asked you a question. I said what is the meaning of this? Is this the test result you brought from the hospital?" he asked with an icy tone that made me shiver.A series of emotions rushed through me. I was scared, confused, miserable, and in great sorrow for the pain, I have caused my bro
WHITNEY'S POV"Whitney, do you mean that dad knows you are pregnant?" Martin asked with shock on his face."Yes, he knows," I affirmed."Oh, my goodness! What is happening in our family? How can you keep such a thing from me or am I no longer part of this family?" he asked with an incredulous expression. "Martin, don't be upset. We deliberately didn't tell you for a good reason and dad said he will tell you soon. It's quite unfortunate that you got to find out this way," I replied as I wiped tears from my eyes."Really? Is that all you have to say? You have no idea how all of these makes me feel. Dad knew that you are pregnant and decided to keep it away from me. I thought that we are a family. Aren't families supposed to be aware of what is happening in the lives of each other? Oh, gosh! I am utterly disappointed in you and dad," he said with a look of disgust on his face. "Martin, please, calm down. You are getting yourself unnecessarily worked up...""Stop telling me that! I feel
WHITNEY'S POV"Whitney, I'm waiting for you. Tell me how you got pregnant and more importantly who impregnated you," Martin said with a mixture of curiosity and anxiety.I was staring at him and I was filled with fear cos I know he is going to be shocked and furious once I mention Luther's name, and he will probably lose his mind when I tell him that Luther raped me. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me that cos I know how much he despises him. I opened my mouth to speak but no sound came out. The fear enveloped me and made me slightly tremble. Oh, Moon Goddess, help me. I prayed.Just then, there was a loud knock on the door, and Martin and I turned to look at the door at same time. Who could that be? I wondered. I wished that it would be my dad but I believed he is not the one cos he and my mom rarely come to see me during the day. Anytime they want to see me, they usually come in the evenings after their work. As I wanted to get up from the bed to open the door, Martin said, "W
WHITNEY'S POV"Dad, if I may ask, why do you want to speak for Whitney? She is the bone of contention and should be the one to tell me happened. Why can't she tell me herself?" Martin asked."She can't because you can see that she is distressed. I will tell you the little that she has told me then, you can ask her any other questions," dad said. "Okay. So who impregnated her?" he asked with a mixture of curiosity and anxiety."Before I tell you his name which I know will come as a shock to you, I want you to promise me that you will stay calm till I finish talking," dad said.He was silent for a moment as he stared at him thoughtfully. "Dad, why did you say the name of the man who impregnated Whitney will come as a shock to me?" "Just be patient and listen to me. As I said before just try to be calm until I finish talking, okay?" "Alright, dad. I'm listening," he replied with impatience. "Luther is the one who impregnated Whitney," dad blurted. Immediately, Martin jumped up from
WHITNEY'S POV"Please, forgive me," Martin pleaded as he continued to sob.I reached out to his face and started wiping his tears. "I don't hold any grudge against you cos I know that your outburst was out of anger and ignorance. I have forgiven you, my dear brother," I said as tears streamed down my face."Thank you," he said and gave me a peck on my forehead. He hugged me warmly with a smile on his face and wiped my tears."Please, stop crying. I know I have hurt you badly but I promise I will make it up to you," he said in a whisper.Suddenly, dad coughed to get our attention, and Martin and I disengaged and turned to look at him. "I'm happy to see that the two of you have resolved your differences. Whitney, there is a lot to talk about concerning the issue of your pregnancy. I will have to let the Alpha know as soon as possible and we will hear what he has to say. I have to go back to the packhouse. I have a lot of patients waiting for me," he said as he stood up."Dad, how is
WHITNEY'S POV"Whitney, please, don't keep me waiting. I am running out of patience. I want you to give me all the details of what that bastard did to you at the crop field. Please, don't leave out anything," Martin said with a mixture of anger and anxiety.I closed my eyes for a moment and relived the horrible experience. It was as if Luther was raping me all over again and I started trembling. I opened my eyes and started feeling dizzy. It was as if the room was spinning fast. The room suddenly became dark and Martin looked like a shadow. "Whitney, are you okay!" I heard Martin yell before I fell on the bed and lost consciousness. I don't know how long I was unconscious but I suddenly opened my eyes and saw Martin sitting beside me on the bed as I was lying on it. A bowl of water was in his hand and he had a worried expression on his face. "Thank goodness, you have regained consciousness. Please, don't pass out on m
WHITNEY'S POVI opened my eyes and looked around me. I was lying on the floor by my wide open door. I have no idea how long I have been unconscious. At first, I couldn't remember what happened and why I was lying on the floor. I became confused and my mind was in disarray. For reasons I couldn't fathom, my heart was racing and I was feeling anxious. My mind was in turmoil as if something was wrong. I took a deep breath as I tried to calm my nerves. I closed my eyes and felt more relaxed. After some seconds, my memory became clear and the events that happened in my room before I lost consciousness started falling into place. I recalled how I was narrating my ordeal to my brother and he became enraged. Suddenly, I recalled when he said Luther must die and vowed that Luther will not live to see tomorrow and that he was going to his room. I recalled when he stalked furiously out of the room and I was running after him before I lost my balance and passed out. "Oh, my goodness! Marti
WHITNEY'S POV"Whitney, what happened to you? Where are you coming from?" Alpha Don roared.I was dumbfounded and gazed at him with tears glistening in my eyes."Why are you asking her where she is coming from? Can't you see that Luther's door is wide open? I think this evil girl came out of his room. I think she has murdered our son. Look at the blood all over her body!" Luna Viola said with a quivering voice and her eyes were filled with fear. Alpha Don's eyes widened with horror and suddenly, with lightning speed, he rushed past me and entered Luther's room.I ran after him and as I entered the room, I saw the Alpha standing transfixed and staring at Martin in horror as he was still seated on Luther's stomach and battering his face. He was oblivious to Alpha Don's presence. I was standing a couple of feet away from the Alpha. "What the hell are you doing to my son!" Alpha Don growled as his brown eyes suddenly turned yellow.Fear gripped my heart cos I knew that is usuall
