WHITNEY'S POVAs I stood close to the bed watching my father console my mother while she was sobbing and sniffling, I wondered if I had made the right decision in keeping the pregnancy which has made me divulge the rape and the pregnancy to them. If I had not decided to keep the pregnancy, there would have been no need to tell my parents and perhaps, the rape incident as well as the pregnancy would eventually have been forgotten like a bad dream.I regretted my decision. However, of what use is the regret when there is nothing I can do to take back my words? I have to stop regretting and face my fears. The earlier I do that the better for me. "Your mother has slept," my father said which jolted me from my thought. I turned to look at my mother and she was sound asleep. I let out a sigh of relief cos I had thought that she wouldn't be able to sleep till daybreak. "Oh, thank goodness! So dad, all that I told you and m
WHITNEY'S POV"Dad, what is wrong with mom?" Martin asked as he stared steadily at him.I was standing beside him as I tried to control the tears that were threatening to stream down my face."At least you ought to greet me before asking me questions," my father said with slight anger."I am sorry. Good morning, dad," he greeted. "Good morning," he responded before he turned to look at me."Good morning, dad," I greeted him."Good morning, Whitney.""Dad, please, tell me. What is wrong with mom?" Martin asked with concern in his voice "Can we at least come inside the room before you start asking us questions? Can't you see that we are still standing outside?" my dad asked in exasperation."Oh, I'm sorry," Martin said as he moved aside and I also did the same making way for them. I watched as my father wrapped his arms around my mother and they walked slowly into the room."Whitney, I want your mother to lie on your bed until we are ready to leave for the hospital. I have ordered a
WHITNEY'S POV"Dad, is Alpha Don aware that you are going to the hospital?" I asked with curiosity."Yes, I told him this morning shortly before he went out. Though I didn't tell him you are going with me. Besides, he has been aware that your mother is ill since when the sickness started and is also aware of her hospital appointments. I always tell him when I'm going to the hospital. Why did you ask?" "I was worried that he might not know that you are going to the hospital cos he might need to see you and he finds out that you are not around, he might be angry. But more importantly because everyone in the family is also going and I feel he needs to know.""Alright. Though he is not aware that you and Martin will be going with me to the hospital..."Just then, my dad's phone began to ring. He quickly picked it up and answered the phone. The only thing I heard him say was, "we will be there in a minute.""Whitney, that was Martin on the phone. He said that he is with the cab driver and
WHITNEY'S POVAs the cab sped on the highway to the hospital which I and all my family members have been using since I was a kid, from time to time, I stole glances at my mom and dad. My mom who was sitting beside me in the back seat of the cab was looking so sick which made me feel sad and scared.Although my dad said that she has been ill for the past two weeks, I knew it wasn't as bad as it is now. Without a doubt, I knew the shock of the news about my rape and pregnancy had worsened her health. My father, on the other hand, was looking worried and sad. He was looking out of the window most of the time and seemed to be lost in thought but he turned from time to time to gaze at my mom with deep sorrow in his eyes. Martin who was sitting in the front passenger seat appeared to also be lost in thought. In other words, everyone in my family looked sad including me. The cab driver was focused and looking straight ahead as he drove at a moderate speed.As we got closer to the hospital
WHITNEY'S POVMy father and I entered the laboratory and my eyes swept across the various medical equipment. I saw three laboratory technicians engrossed in their work.My father headed to one of them and I followed him. As the lab tech saw us, he left what he was doing and came to meet us. He greeted my dad and he responded before I greeted him. He was a young man in his late twenties. He had a cute face and his hair was blonde. He was of average height and was a little bit muscular. He was wearing a lab coat and on his feet were black leather shoes. My father started conversing with him while my eyes swept across the lab. A pungent smell of chemicals drifted into my nose making me wrinkle my nose and I felt uncomfortable. This would be the second time visiting a lab and I felt the same way the first time I visited. After a minute, the lab tech started walking toward the left side of the lab where there was a desk and a chair, and my father and I followed him. The lab tech told m
WHITNEY'S POVI was brooding and lost in thought when I heard my dad say, "Martin, Whitney, let's go home. The taxi has arrived."I jolted from my thoughts and saw him standing in front of us. I turned to see Martin seated beside me and he was looking very agitated. On impulse, I reached out and gently squeezed his hand. He turned to look at me and smiled faintly. "I don't like the way that the two of you are taking your mother's illness. I know that your her illness has deeply affected the two of you but you don't have to look like someone carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. Please, I want the two of you to cheer up, okay? I want you to have faith that everything will be fine," my dad said."Alright, dad," Martin and I chorused in unison.We rose from our seats at the same time and followed our dad who was heading to the exit door of the hospital. The three of us stepped outside and continued to follow him. I looked a little ahead of me and saw a tall chubby man we
WHITNEY'S POVMy eyes welled with tears as I gazed at my dad staring intently at the test result while the doctor was looking at him with a concerned expression. Slowly, my dad turned his head to look at me and we made eye contact. "Dad, I guess I'm pregnant, right?" I asked with an emotionally laden voice. He simply nodded without uttering a word. He was motionless as he stood staring at me and the expression on his face showed that he was struggling to contain his pain. Tears that were threatening to pour from my eyes that I have been struggling to hold back, suddenly, ran down my face cos I could no longer hold them back. He beckoned to me and I walked slowly to meet him. He wrapped his arm around me and I lay my head against his chest. I felt miserable and it was as if my life has fallen apart. As I lay my head against my dad's chest, tears were streaming from my eyes without a sound coming from my mouth. I was in deep pain and I trembled with emotions.
WHITNEY'S POVI felt miserable as I gazed at my mom's happy face. I stole a glance at my dad and he was keeping a deadpan face.My mom turned to look at my dad and said, "Dear, this is such good news. I have been so worried since she told us about the pregnancy. Now that the result is negative, I feel so elated," she said smiling. "Yeah, I feel very happy too. I just want you to get well as quickly as possible so that you will be discharged and I can take you home," my dad said feigning a smile."Oh, now that I have heard this good news, I'm sure I will get well soon cos my heart is filled with joy," she said beaming with a smile. "Pardon me, ma'am, I can see that you look very happy which is good for your condition. May I know the reason why?" the nurse asked with a friendly smile. My mom turned her head to look at her."Nurse, my daughter thought that she was pregnant and when she told me and her dad, my mind was shattered cos I feel she is too young to have a child and I know th
WHITNEY'S POV As soon as I returned to Luther's father's house, I sent my brother to Luther's house to bring Jason to me. When he returned with my son, I carefully examined him to be sure that Jaya had not done any harm to him. After a thorough examination, I didn't find any reason to be worried and I was relieved. I was so emotional and exhausted and couldn't go back the following day after the battle with Luther and his warriors. When Alpha Vicker called me on the phone, I narrated all that happened to him and he was shocked. He was happy that I survived and Jason is safe, however, he was elated that Luther is dead. Alpha Vicker told me to stay as long as I want in Montgomery since Luther is dead and I have had my revenge against all those that hurt me. My parents and my brother told me they were among the crowd during the battle. They said they saw me levitating and they were gobsmacked. They couldn't come to plead on my behalf because they were scared Lu
After some minutes, Luther ordered his warriors to ceasefire until the sorcerers subdue Whitney's power in order not to waste the bullets. Meanwhile, Jaya, Luther's Luna was among the crowd and has been watching Whitney. From where she stood, she tried to use her power to subdue Whitney's power and kill her but it did not affect her. She made several attempts but it was futile. It dawned on her that Whitney was so powerful and her power was no match for hers.As she realized that there was nothing she could do to Whitney, she decided to go after Jason and kill him. She turned around and started walking briskly to Luther's father's house. She got to the gate and told the security guard to open the gate. He greeted her respectfully as Luther's Luna and quickly opened the gate. Jaya walked through the gate and stood in front of the mansion. She started reciting incantations and commanded everyone in the house to fall into a deep sleep. Then, she turned around and saw t
Whitney was filled with rage as she stared at Luther and his warriors. After some seconds, she commanded a wall of fire to surround her for protection. Instantly, a circle of fire surrounded her. Her feet left the ground and she started levitating. Luther and his warriors stopped laughing abruptly. They raised their heads and stared at Whitney with a mixture of shock and awe as she hovered in the air. The sorcerers were also taken aback and they gazed at Whitney with disbelief. Whitney stretched her arm toward Luther's father's house and commanded the spell cast on everyone in the house to be broken. Then, she averted her gaze to look at Luther, his warriors, and the sorcerers who were all beneath her as she hovered above them. For some seconds, she glared at them as her eyes burned with anger. "Luther, I could have killed you some months ago when you attacked me and tried to take away my son but I felt sorry for you and spared your life despite all the pains and trauma you cau
Before Whitney went to bed at night on the day she arrived at Montgomery, she spoke with Alpha Vicker several times on the phone and he told her to be very careful for the one week she will be staying in Montgomery. The following day, Whitney gave her family the things she bought for them and they were elated. She got acquainted with Venus, her brother's mate, and her two kids loved her. Whitney's kids also loved Martin and her parents and they all doted on her kids. The fact that Jason was Luther's biological son coupled with his uncanny resemblance to him didn't make Whitney's family treat him differently from her other kids. He was loved by all of Whitney's family. Since Whitney's battle with Luther and his warriors, she spoke to her brother and parents several times on the phone but didn't tell them about her supernatural power and how she used it to deal with Luther and his warriors. Whitney felt it was time she let them know about her supernatural power and al
WHITNEY'S POV I was drifting in and out of sleep as we drove to Montgomery. From time to time, we stopped and I bought snacks and drinks for my kids and everyone in the car as well as for the people in the Mercedes Benz. I spoke a few times throughout the journey cos I was lost in thoughts. I thought about how my family lived in poverty right from when I was a child and all the significant things that happened during my childhood. I thought of when Luther raped me and the series of events that happened after that to when I ran from Nashville and met Alpha Vicker. Although most parts of my life were turbulent, I am grateful that my life has changed significantly and I'm now happy and at peace. As I'm now living a blissful life, I also want my parents and brother with his family to live comfortably and happily. One of my main plans is to buy a house for them in Nashville and take them from Montgomery. I intend to also set up any business of their choice for them. After a
SIX MONTHS AFTER WHITNEY'S POV On a weekend, six months after sparing Luther's life and a month after Jason turned seven, and had a grand birthday party, I was sitting on my bed in the room and I was packing my bags and my kids' bags. The time was 8:30 am. I was going back to Montgomery with my three kids after seven years of living in Nashville without seeing my parents and my brother. Rachel, my kids' nanny was dressing my kids up in their room and Alpha Vicker went to the parkhouse very early in the morning to resolve an issue. I decided to return to Montgomery after much pleading from my parents and brother soon after the battle with Luther and his warriors. I felt I have been on self-exile from Montgomery for too long and it was time for me to visit my family. After so much pressure from my family to come to Montgomery, I made up my mind to go. However, when I told Alpha Vicker that I want to go to Montgomery with the kids to see my family, he vehemently refused.
WHITNEY'S POV The full moon and stars in the sky illuminated the whole place and the pole lights on both sides of the highway shone brightly making me see everything clearly. The smell of charred bodies filled the air as I watched Luther's car burn with fury in my eyes. I thought Luther was in the burning car and didn't know that he fell out of the car into the ditch and lost consciousness. After a couple of minutes of gazing at the burning car as I was still levitating, I turned around to look at the charred bodies and bones of the warriors burnt to different degrees. All of them were dead. As I gazed at the horrific scene, tears welled up in my eyes and I became very emotional. With all the strength I could muster, I banished my emotions. I descended till my feet touched the ground and walked slowly to Luther's burning car. I stretched my arm toward it and commanded the fire to go off. Instantly, the fire went off and everywhere was filled with smoke. I
Whitney was filled with rage as she sped down the well-lit highway due to the pole light. Aside from that, the full moon's pale light illuminated the whole place. She drove past a few cars that had parked by the side of the highway due to the storm and the thick fog which had worsened. Considering how severe the storm and fog were, there was no way anyone could drive in the weather which made Whitney to be a little bit relaxed cos she believed Luther must have parked by the side of the road. As Whitney drove, she saw various items on the highway such as shrubs, grasses, cans, and other things blown by the wind, and on both sides of the highway, there were fallen trees that had been uprooted by the fierce wind. After driving for about thirty minutes, it struck her that she doesn't know Luther's car and she became worried and confused. Just then, she looked ahead of her and saw the convoy of four SUVs that followed Luther's car. The cars were all parked by the sid
For some seconds, Whitney and Alpha Vicker cuddled before they disengaged. "Why were you unconscious?" Whitney asked with curiosity. "Luther and I fought fiercely and he hit me with that sculpture on the floor, and I fainted," he said as he pointed at the sculpture. "Oh my goodness! He could have killed you. Luther is such an evil man. He wants Jason by all means. Unfortunately, he will never have him as long as I live," Whitney said with anger in her eyes."Thank goodness that he didn't kill me. I'm okay. I don't feel any pain," he said as he touched the part of his head that was bleeding. "You don't feel any pain because I healed you before reviving you," Whitney said. "Wow...I didn't know that. Anyway, thank you," he said with a smile as he patted her cheek. "You are welcome," she said as she smiled back at him. "My Luna, hurry up now and revive all my injured warriors and go after Luther and bring my son," he said. "I will but I can only revive those that are still alive.
