WHITNEY'S POV Martin and I walked down the hallway and my eyes swept over him. I was wondering why he was fully dressed considering that we just want to have a meeting which was to be held downstairs in the conference room. I decided to ask him. "Martin, why are you fully dressed? You are even wearing sneakers. We are only going for a meeting, not a party," I said chuckling. "I am done with my work for today but immediately after the meeting, I want to go and see Venus, my mate at the hospital?" he replied. "Oh...I see. I'm sorry. I have not asked you how your relationship with your mate is going. Please pardon my bad manners," I said in a whisper. "You don't need to apologize. I only met her a couple of weeks ago and we both know all the series of events and commotion that has transpired during that period," he said. "Yeah, a lot happened during that period. Anyway, where are dad and mom?" I asked. "They are waiting for us in the conference room." "Is the Alpha there with the
WHITNEY'S POVServes her right! Wicked lady. I thought feeling elated as I saw tears streaming down Luna Viola's face. A smile spread across my face and I turned to look at Martin who was grinning from ear to ear. Dad and mom were staring at Luna Viola with sad expressions."My Luna, I don't know what's wrong with you. Your manners and the way you talk are unbecoming and I will not condone it! How can I say something and you oppose me? Don't you have respect for me as your mate and your Alpha? You are my mate and as a good and reasonable mate, what I expect of you is to be supportive of my decisions not oppose them. I have been trying my best to make you amend your ways but instead, you seem to be getting worse by the day," Alpha Don said fuming in anger as he went back to his seat. "Is that why you slapped me in the presence of our employees? You deliberately want to humiliate me," she said in an emotionally laden voice as she wiped her tears. "My
WHITNEY'S POVDad, and mom stood up and were gazing at Luna Viola who was lying on the floor looking shocked and embarrassed. Martin stood a few inches away from her and was fuming in anger. The Alpha was a few inches from him and he was staring at Luna Viola in disbelief. I was the only one sitting down. I was only elated for a few seconds but soon after, I became worried and anxious about what would happen next. "I have warned you to mind the way you talk about Whitney. Your stupid son raped and impregnated her messing up her life. Instead of you showing a little empathy and compassion because it's your son that put her in this condition, you are calling her a liar and insinuating that she is a slut and that another man impregnated her. She is 16 years old and she was a virgin before your idiotic son defiled her," he paused to catch his breath."Almost all the girls in the pack started having sex even before they turned fifteen which includes your daughter. You can make some res
WHITNEY'S POV For a few seconds, everyone stared at me in shock in the conference room except my mom who kept a straight face. My heart was raising and I was filled with anxiety as I thought about what would happen next. Suddenly, Martin left his seat and started walking towards me in anger. Gosh! The moment I dreaded has finally come. Whitney, brace up and face your fears. I encouraged myself as my heartbeat increased at an alarming rate. Martin got to where I sat and grabbed my shoulder. "Whitney, what the heck are you talking about? What do mean by saying that you want to keep the pregnancy and you want to have the baby? I want to believe that I didn't hear you!" he bellowed. I grabbed his hand on my shoulder and gently pulled it off. I then stood up and turned to face him. "Yes, you heard me right! I want to keep the pregnancy and no one is going to stop me!" I said with determination. "What! Are you out of your mind? How can you keep a baby that was conceived through rape?"
WHITNEY'S POVFor a moment, there was pin-drop silence in the room as everyone gazed at me in shock except Martin who seem to be pleased."Whitney, once again, I say that I can't imagine the mental and physical trauma you must have gone through, so, I wouldn't blame you for saying you cannot forgive Luther," Alpha Don said."Alpha Don, since he raped me, he has remained unrepentant and has not shown an iota of remorse. Aside from that, he has tormented me several times after the rape incident. There was a time he almost strangled me to death in his room..." I paused as Luna Viola cut in."You are a blatant liar! How can you say he almost strangled you to death in his room? Even if it is true, may I know what you were doing in his room? Oh, I have forgotten that you are a slut! Perhaps, you seduced him and when you realized that you couldn't succeed, you resorted to violence and tried to force him to make love to you..." Luna Viola screamed."Shut your mouth right now before I slap you
WHITNEY'S POVWe all left the conference room and entered the living room. There was no one there. Dad was in the front, followed by Martin and mom and I was the last. We went up the stairs and walked down the hallway as we headed to dad's room.We all stopped in front of dad's door as he opened the door and we all entered. Dad and mom sat on the bed while Martin and I sat on the two chairs in the room facing them.For a moment, there was total silence in the room as they all gazed at me and I felt uneasy. Dad and mom were looking at me with impassive faces while Martin was glaring at me.My heart was racing and I could hear the sound of my heartbeat pounding in my ears. I sensed they were all going to force me to agree to abort the pregnancy. I felt helpless in their midst like a sheep amid hungry lions.I knew mom wouldn't be a problem because it was glaring to me that she wants me to keep the pregnancy. However, I was scared of dad and Martin's reaction if I insist on keeping the
WHITNEY'S POVDad stole a glance at me and was silent for a moment."Alpha Don, my mate, my son, and I have just finished having a brief meeting with Whitney and she has given us the reason why she wants to keep the pregnancy. Although I'm aware of the negative impact that keeping the pregnancy might have on her especially considering her age, I think the reasons she gave are logical. So, her mother and I have decided that she should keep the pregnancy though I must say that my son is strongly against the decision," dad said.I was surprised to hear dad's statement considering how Martin was ranting and what he was threatening to do if dad and mom still maintain that I keep the pregnancy.It was shocking to me that dad was seemingly not fazed by Martin's threats. For him to decide that I keep the pregnancy despite Martin's threat made me realize how much he loves me and I became emotional as my eyes welled up with tears. "Mr. Stanford, what the heck are you saying? I thought you came
LUTHER'S POV. It was a couple of minutes after six in the evening. I was in my room and I was lying on my bed. I was wearing a red T-shirt and black shorts. Suddenly, the doorbell rang and I rose from the bed. I walked to the door and opened it. I was taken aback to see my mom with an injured face.Her face was slightly swollen and plastered in two places; one on her nose and one under her lower lips. My eyes widened with shock and my mouth was agape."Oh, my goodness! Mom, what happened to you?" I asked with shock in my voice. She didn't respond as she entered the room and walked toward the sofa. She sat down, and started sobbing. I quickly walked up to her and crouched in front of her."Mom, please, answer me. What happened to you? Did you have an accident?" I asked with concern. "It wasn't an accident. It was Martin who beat me up. He injured my face and my leg was dislocated when I fell. I'm just coming from the hos
