Se connecterSabrina.Pregnant?I froze in place, disbelief framing my tear-stained face.I had missed my periods, close to two months.I thought it was because of the punishment.But pregnant?Ivy had given me a pill!I took it! Swallowed it, even!" I took a pill!" I whispered, hope and doubt lacing my words." Pills fail..."" I found out that you were pregnant after becoming comatose..." She wore a beautiful smile as she explained." I chose to hide it from you because I knew you would make bad choices." She added..." We did everything we could so that the pup could be sustained, and it survived..."" It's close to two months now, one month since you woke up from the coma, and I am surprised you don't know..." She wore a helpless smile as she spoke." Now, I don't want you to think about revenge..."" I want you to live happily, with your mate and your pup..." She added, her voice filled with sorrow, her voice breaking, and then she pulled me into her arms, sharing a deeply sentimental hug...
Sabrina.We kissed for what felt like forever, like two souls having lost contact in another life, then finally reuniting.I locked my hands around his neck, then pulled him closer, kissing him as if it would bring clarity, and it sure did.I had kissed Rhys before...There was no way I would mistake him for someone else...It was not until we were both breathless that we finally pulled apart, and what followed was a round of applause, and yet, I heard nothing.I was deep in thought, trying to piece everything together, the little slips in Theus' character... The way guilt would paint his eyes whenever I looked at him, as if he wanted to confess but lacked the courage to...His protectiveness...His anger flares whenever he noticed that I didn't have my wolf...The seamless connection...The easy understanding... He was not Theus, he was Rhys.And now, faced with that reality, I didn't know how to react...Maybe act like I didn't know he was Rhys?Live the lie that he was selling me..
Sabrina."You look beautiful, my dear..." My grandma whispered, tears clouding her eyes as she looked at me.I was in a white wedding gown, a thin layer of makeup coating my facial features, highlighting my beauty in the best way possible.My lips were painted a subtle pink, highlighting their natural pink hues...My hair fell freely on my back in ocean waves, and as I stared at my reflection in the mirror, I couldn't help but get emotional....I was beautiful... I looked beautiful, and I felt beautiful.Ideally, my union with Theus wasn't supposed to be celebrated, especially since it wasn't forged out of love, but out of desperation, especially from my part.The wedding dress was my dream gown, and the mood felt right, and that was the problem...It should have felt wrong, since I was marrying someone I wasn't in love with, and yet, it felt so right that calling it wrong felt like a crime...Then there was the part where I hadn't been able to sleep the night before because of excite
Rhys."Old Jake!" she called out before she threw her pen and notebook at my uncle."You block of wood! Learn from your nephew." And with that, she stormed out.Everything had happened too fast that, for a moment, no one seemed to react.And when he finally came back to his senses, Uncle Jake shot me a confused look, seemingly wronged, even.He didn't seem to know what had gone wrong.And looking at him, I massaged my temples in frustration!With a character like his, it was even unfair to call him a block of ice... He was simply romantically blind.No wonder he had managed to stay single for forty years! Yes!Did he even know that girls loved flowers? Did he even know that they loved chocolates?Did he know that they liked being kissed under starry nights?Thinking about it, I caught myself shaking my head in denial."Uncle Jake?" I called him, snapping him out of his haze."Did you plan all this?" I asked, doubt clouding my voice. How could such an unromantic person plan something s
Rhys. " You can't fool me.." He whispered that to my ear, and my heart slammed so hard against my chest I almost growled. It felt like ages since I was lastly cornered like that. As an Alpha wolf, especially for a stubborn wolf like mine, when cornered, the first instinct wasn't to cower, it was to retaliate, to eliminate the threat, and right now, that's what my wolf wanted to do. But I couldn't lose my composure! I couldn't afford to slip. I was Theus! I had to be! It was the only way I could keep my mate safe. Had I failed? I actually didn't care! I was going to have him so confused, until he had no choice but to believe I was the real Theus! " You have always wanted to explore the world! Why would you let someone tie you down?" Prince Michael asked, with the same measured tone, and I slowly unclenched my fingers. Damn it! I was so worked up, thinking that he had seen through me, only to realise that the fool was talking about something else entirely! " Do
Rhys.. " Where is that thing? " Crown Prince Michael asked, and for a moment, I was too confused to react. What thing? No... That was not even supposed to be the question. Was the real Theus friends with Prince Michael? How? No.. I meant, why? And why the heck was I not informed? I almost shifted uncomfortably on my seat, but when I felt one particular gaze burning through me, I was forced to sober up.. There were only two explanations to the whole thing. It was either Alpha King Alexander knew that I wasn't the real Theus, and he was putting me through a test, using his son to expose me, and then, get me killed, quoting some twisted royal werewolf laws... Knowing Alpha King Alexander's shady character, that wasn't surprising... I mean, Ivy already knew that I wasn't the real Theus.. And given her close relationship with her father, it wouldn't be surprising if they were working together... So, it was either that, or Theus was actually a real friend of Pri
Sabrina " After everything that he had done to you, you still said yes when he asked you for a second chance. " " That says everything about how cheap you are, sister." She mocked, looking all proud. Well, I felt like my world was sinking, the ground was spinning. What was she even ta
Sabrina. ' I think Amery is his biological daughter. ' The walk from the office to my former residence passed in a blur. In my mind, I repeated the piece of news that Ivy had shared with me, over and over, and each time, I only shook my head in denial. ' She might be his daughter ' '
Sabrina. "You already know that we are enemies. " " You already know how much I hate you. Drop the act and get to business." " Why did you call me here?" I asked, and before he could respond, Amanda was already standing before me, her entire body radiating with anger as she looked at me.
Sabrina. True to my suspicions, the milk that Nanny Tia gave me was laced with sleeping pills, a lot of them, and just a few seconds after gulping the contents, my eyelids felt heavy and after flashing her a grateful smile, I made my way to our bedroom... It was not around noon the other day
