KAVAN’S POV “What is your dad doing with his plan about moving either me or you out?” Autumn said. She was right; my dad had already made his plans and intentions clear to us.He was capable of doing anything he wanted, and nobody would be able to stop him; he has all the power in the world to impose anything on the both of us. But I already decided in my mind and also promised Autumn that I would not let that happen. I would not let my dad hurt or threaten her safety; I would surely make her feel and keep her safe.“Don’t worry about that, dear; I would not allow that,” I said. “He is not going to try that with us; he wouldn't dare. He can't move you or me out of this manor. It is not a crime to love each other, and I won't allow him to separate us ever,” I added. “Are you sure, Kavan?" I feel like your dad would do anything possible to make sure he does separate us,” she replied.That was very true, even though I vowed and promised to protect her. Part of me was scared of my dad. I
AUTUMN’S POV After the whole scenario that just happened at the dining hall, I cried my eyes out to Kavan. He was so patient with me and stayed with me, comforting and reassuring me that everything was okay.“It's okay, Autumn. Everything is going to be fine; you don't have to cry about it because I don't like it when you cry; it breaks my heart,” he said. He helped to wipe away the tears on my face, and I remembered Mrs. Potts.We both agreed to go check up on her to see if she was okay or not, and I brought the suggestion up again. “Kavan, can we go check up on Mrs. Potts now?” I asked politely. "Yes, sure, let's go,” he responded. He helped me back to my feet and kissed my forehead before we headed to Mrs. Potts room.We left the dining hall, and on our way to Mrs. Potts room, we saw a maid, so we just asked about her whereabouts at the moment. “Hey, do you have any idea of where Mrs. Potts is?” Kavan asked. She responded and told us that she was resting in her room. “Oh, she is i
AUTUMN’S POV Kavan and i left Mrs Potts room not long ago and decided to go to his room. We wanted privacy as we had lots of things to discuss about.“ We have so many things to discuss about Kavan” he said to me. I nodded in response and headed to him room, we held our hands together not even caring if anyone could see us not even Mathias himself.“Kavan, what are we going to do? I am really scared of everything that is going on right now,” I said, on getting to the room. He reassured me once again and told me how everything was okay and not to worry about anything. “I have told you before, my love, nothing is going to happen to either you or me. You just have to keep your mind at rest dear” he said, reassuring me.I was not having any of it and just nodded in response. I was already scared and anxious about what could happen to either me or him. My safety and life were on the line here; I had no one at all to run to, and I can't afford to lose my life or Kavan losing his too.I fel
KAVAN’S POV “You can't love someone that is not yours, Kavan,” Sunny said. “She is your dad's mate and not yours; you should be able to accept that, like you want me to accept this too,” she added. Sunny must be kidding; she had no idea about how Autumn and I met, how we got talking, how we both developed feelings for each other, and how much dad just suddenly came to snatch her from me.“You should learn to mind your business; you have no idea about what is going on. You are just seeing what's happening right now; you don't know the root cause of all this, so kindly keep quiet and leave me alone,” I said. I was tired of responding and arguing over this matter, and I left her at the manor's balcony.“Where are you going, Kavan?" She asked me. At this point, I think it is safe to say Sunny is obsessed with me. She is always up in my business and not minding hers; she wants to know everything that is going on and happening in my life.“No where, don't ask me stupid questions,” I retort
KAVAN’S POV “Stop ignoring me; that is so childish,” I said. “You don't have to be acting like a kid; be mature for once,” I added. I knew those words would get to him, so I knew I had to use them. He stopped right in his tracks and finally responded to me.“You are free to talk. What is it?” He replied. “It is about you and me. It is about what has been going on.” I said, “And what could that be, Kavan?" He responded. “I don't like how you are acting so oblivious about this. I know what you are planning, and I am pretty sure you have us in mind,” I said. “This is so weird; we are both fighting for the same woman when technically she was mine before you snatched her to be your mate. All this is weird; we are father and son, and this should not be so,” I added.“Kavan, I am tired. I need to rest,” he said, trying to avoid continuing the conversation. I knew he would escape from this conversation, so I had to bring up the Mrs. Potts issue. I wanted him not to end the conversation becau
KAVAN’S POV “Autumn, it's me. Open up the door,” I said, knocking on the door. "Kavan, is that you?” She asked to confirm, “Yes, it is me. Open up the door,“ I said. She opened up, and I entered inside. I had to brief and explain my plan to her. I was planning on going to meet Marcus to confront him. “I am just coming back from seeing my dad; I think he went to meet Marcus earlier,“ I said. “I thought as much; it had been Marcus all along,” she responded. “Mrs. Potts told us, remember? He is such a sly and a snitch,” she added. That was right; Mrs. Potts had told us before how she overheard him having a conversation with my dad about Autumn and me. “Well, I am thinking of going to confront him,” I said. “I have to speak to him and confront him about this. I can't just let him think he is fooling us,” I added. “Is that really necessary, Kavan?" I don't want you to get hurt. He seems dangerous,” she replied. “You do not have to worry; I will be fine. I am an alpha wolf; he can
AUTUMN’S POV Kavan left the room shortly after we came back from checking up on Mrs. Potts. He said he wanted to go meet his dad and also instructed me to lock the door after he leaves and never open it for anyone, no matter the circumstances.I nodded in response, and he left, but not without him kissing me goodbye. When he left, I did not know what to do, and I just decided to go take a very nice cold bath to calm and soothe me.After bathing, I decided to just rest and sleep for a while. After some time, I heard a knock on the door, and it was Kavan, thankfully.“Autumn, it's me. Open up the door,” he said. I wanted to be sure, so I asked if it was him, “Kavan, is that you?” I asked. “Yes, it is me. Open the door,“ he responded.I opened the door, and he was finally able to enter the room. He told me how he went to see his dad and the outcome of the conversation.“I'm just coming back from seeing my dad; I think he went to see Marcus earlier this morning,” he said. I knew it; Marc
AUTUMN’S POV After Mathias and Dax left, I quickly tiptoed and went to Mrs. Potts room. I knocked on her door, and it took her a while before she answered. I was already getting impatient and was also scared if Mathias saw me here. If he did, I would have to explain, and it won't ever end.She finally responded and asked who it was. “Who is it?” She asked. It is me, Autumn,” I responded. She came and opened the door, asking why I came back. “What are you doing here, Autumn?” She asked. I told her I would explain if I came inside, and she ushered me. I didn't want to be seen here by Mathias at all.“I will explain later; please, can I come in?” I asked. She nodded and gestured for me to come in. After settling down for a bit, I answered the question she asked earlier.“I came here to check up on you again and also to keep you company,” I said. “You just feel so lonely; well, I am too. I need someone to talk to,” I added.She looked at me and laughed, asking where Kavan is. “Where is K
All did not sit well with me seeing Autumn become so flirty with my dad. I knew she had to be up to something, but I could not quite wrap my fingers around it yet.After my dad and she left, I was worried, and I decided to follow my instincts to go check up on her. I knew something bad was happening, and I could not just stay by and think about it.“Sunny, I have to go now. I will be right back,” I said. “Where are you going, Kavan?" She asked. “No, you don't have to worry; I will be right back in no time,” I responded. “Okay, I will be waiting for you here. Do not take too long,” she added. I faked a smile and left, heading to my dad's room.I could hear someone screaming and shouting from his room, and I knew all hell has finally broken loose; he must be trying to force himself on her again.I banged at the door, and I slammed the door open. My hunch was right. The sight in front of me was so gruesome, as I could see my dad on top of Autumn, trying to force himself on her.“What do
MATHIAS’S POV Autumn was being flirty with me, and she made it so obvious to everyone. I was sure she did not know if Kavan was being serious about Sunny or not, but I believed him either way."Mathias, can we go to your room, please? I feel like spending the night with you,” she said. Kavan looked stunned when he heard her say that and was looking at her for some sort of explanation; she ignored him and was persistent in going with me to my room.I took the opportunity and grabbed her waist, gesturing her to my room and leading the way. Oh yes, finally!” I said. I was filled with excitement as I beamed with smiles all plastered on my face. Autumn was trying to make Kavan regret his decisions by getting him jealous of me. Either way, I was enjoying it, so I did not bother to think much of it.“Kavan, I think we should go too. We have told dad what we came here to say,” Sunny said, almost dragging Kavan away. Kavan did not want to leave as he continued staring at Autumn, waiting for h
AUTUMN'S POV Marcus dragged me by my hair and forcefully started kissing all over my body. I felt so disgusted as I struggled to pull him off me. His grip on me was too tight, and I was unable to get him off. At this point, I was screaming and shouting, hoping someone would hear and come to my rescue. This was not the first time Mathias had tried forcing himself on me.The last time was when Kavan luckily came to my aid. Mathias had dragged me from Mrs. Potts room to his room and tried molesting me. I was trying to fight my way out, but his grip on me made it so difficult and hard to leave. I could hear banging at the door, and Kavan suddenly slammed the door open. He came to my aid again, and I knew he had a hunch about this earlier because he knew I would not willingly go to Mathias’s room unless I had a plan. “What do you think you are doing, dad?” Kavan said, pushing his dad off me. “Why are you here?” Mathias responded. “Shouldn't you be with your pregnant wife?” he added. “W
AUTUMN'S POV I was being flirty with Marcus, and I made it so obvious to everyone. I did not know if Kavan was being real with the pregnancy with Sunny, but I suspected it to be only an act to get his dad deceived."Mathias, can we go to your room, please? I feel like spending the night with you,” I said. Kavan looked stunned when he heard me say that and was looking at me for some sort of explanation. I ignored him and was persistent in going with his dad.Mathias took the opportunity and grabbed my waist, gesturing me to his room and leading the way. Oh yes, finally!” Mathias said. He was filled with excitement as he beamed with a smile all plastered on his face. This was part of my plan and also to make Kavan feel a bit jealous about it. I could see the jealousy all over his face, and he was very terrible at hiding it.“Kavan, I think we should go too. We have told dad what we came here to say,” Sunny said, almost dragging Kavan away. Kavan did not want to leave as he continued st
MATHIAS’S POV “You have always been selfish, Mathias; you have never truly cared about me or my feelings,” she said, trying to gaslight me. “Me selfish? How dare you say that to me?” I responded. “That is the truth; why don't you want to accept that fact?” she added, trying to instigate me to respond. I knew all she was doing and just played along with her tricks.“You are lucky, Autumn, that I am in a good mood, or else you know what I would have done to you,” I responded. “What haven't you done, Mathias? I still remember vividly how you raised your hands on me,” she said. “I cannot believe you would do such to me,” she added. “I did not mean that, Autumn, and you know that, you keep pushing me to the wall,” I responded.She was about to respond back at me, but then Sunny and Kavan suddenly showed up and told me that they had something to tell me..Kavan saw me and Autumn already there; it was as if she wanted to leave, but I was stopping her from leaving. Kavan and Autumn looked at
AUTUMN’S POV “You have always been selfish, Mathias; you have never truly cared about me or my feelings,” I said, trying to gaslight him. “Me selfish? How dare you say that to me?” Marcus said. “That is the truth; why don't you want to accept that fact?” I added, trying to instigate him to respond. “You are lucky, Autumn, that I am in a good mood, or else you know what I would have done to you,” he responded. “What haven't you done, Mathias? I still remember vividly how you raised your hands on me,” I said. “I cannot believe you would do such to me,” I added. “I did not mean that, Autumn, and you know that, you keep pushing me to the wall,” he responded.I was about to respond back at him, then Sunny and Kavan suddenly showed up and told Mathias that they had something to tell him.Kavan saw his dad and I already there; it was as if I wanted to leave, but he was stopping me from leaving. Kavan and I looked at each other briefly before we avoided each other's eye contact. We had to ma
KAVAN'S POV Sunny and I went to look for my dad. We had gone to his room after revising for the plan I told her already. “You know what to do, right?” I asked her. “Yes, I do,” she responded. "Okay, give me an example; express yourself,” I added.“No, it is not needed. I will do that when I see your dad,” she said. I did not argue with her and just nodded in response to her. We first went to my dad's room to see if he was there, but he was nowhere to be found."Dad,” I said, knocking softly on the door. “Are you in there?” I added. “Maybe he is not in the room,” Sunny said. “I guess too; let's go to the balcony or the dining hall,” I added. “Let us go to the balcony first,” she responded, and we both left and headed to the manor's balcony.There we saw my dad and Autumn already there; it was as if she wanted to leave, but he was stopping her from leaving. Autumn and I looked at each other briefly before we avoided each other's eye contact. We had to make it look like we got betrayed
MATHIAS'S POV “Did he catch you hiding?” Kavan asked her. She responded and told him that I did not, but I noticed her presence. “He did not see me; I made sure to hide very well,” she responded to him. “So when they both left, I came out of my hiding spot and quickly went to Mrs. Potts room, and then, I think, after a few minutes, he also came by to check up on her,” she added.“Did you try leaving when you saw him?” Kavan asked her. "Yes, I did try to leave, but he held me back,” she replied. I was spying on Kavan and Autumn and also listening to their conversations. After some while, I got bored of it and went to the library to cool my head off. After some minutes there, I asked a guard to request for Marcus to come to the manor. “Hey you, come here,” I said, sighting one of the guards I saw. "Yes, sir,” he responded. “I want you to call Marcus for me, get in touch with him, and tell him that I want to see him at the manor right now,” I said. “Okay, sir,” he responded and left.
AUTUMN'S POV I do not owe you any reply, Marcus.“ I responded to him. “Why can you not get that you are just a tool for Mathias? He is never going to trust or actually love you like his son; you are just doing this for nothing. Are you blind to see that?” I added.“Shut up,” he said. “You are working so hard for him, but when he is done using you, he is going to leave and dumb you without even looking back at all,” I responded. “Who asked for your opinion, Autumn? Why can you not just keep your mouth shut?” He fired back at me.“You don't own me, so I can speak and give my opinions whenever I want to,” I said. “You are not the boss of me, and you cannot control me, scumbag,” I added. I have had it enough with both him and Mathias; people have been calling me names, but I have just decided to keep calm all this while, but now I am so tired of it, I cannot take it anymore.“Since you are done barking Marcus, how about you leave?” I said. “I already told you to mind your business,” he r
