I cried coming home because of the things said about me to my face, but the pain was gone in the next few hours when Icy told me how good the outcome would be for me.
They will finally leave me and my daughter alone and, by the looks of it, I am now certain that Tessa would never accept my daughter's truth to be found out by Silas.
Now that they weren't coming into Hope's sight, she hadn't asked about them as well. I was making sure Desmond stays connected with her so that she has someone she is getting attached to.
"Are we going to the park today?" Hope asked, following me to the kitchen, and my body shuddered out of fright.
What if she throws another tantrum?
"Umm, well, I have another surprise, but you get to decide what you want to do," I tricked her and started doing my dishes.
"Surprise? What is it?" she giggled and clapped her hands as she expressed her joy hearing the word surprise.
"I have planned a game for you," I sai
After my father had left as I demanded, I was more scared of Silas' words than ever.Thankfully, the little activity I have planned with Hope kept her occupied until she fell asleep and now I was stuck between in the sea of my own thoughts."It's getting frustrating how everyone just easily uses our motherly love between us," Icy complained, and I agreed with her.It wasn't long that I received a text from Silas himself. I was surprised because he has never texted me from his private number before.Silas: Let the man meet his granddaughter once.I stared at his text with a frown on my forehead and then decided to put my phone down.After only a few more minutes, I received another text from him.Silas: I know you read my message and you are even awake. I can see the lights of your room.I lifted my face in the direction of the window when I acknowledged that he might be outside the main mansion or else how else could he see the
After father had spent some time with her, he sat down whilst Hope got distracted with the swings and the slides ahead of us. There were other pack members in the park as well, so Hope was busy with the kids.“She is very creative and social,” Dad complimented her, watching her play, “She must have got it from you. You were never shy of spilling your thoughts, always ready to argue for your rights and others,” he recalled the memories from my childhood and laughed a little.“I remember you---,” I was unconsciously going to indulge in the conversation when my heart split open at the reminder of our past and last memories together.“You can share your heart and thoughts with me, you know!” Father held my hand and kissed the back of it. I felt his tears touching my skin, tears of regret. Well, it made me teary-eyed.“I did once, remember?” It was so hard to say those few words, “I --- I didn&r
It’s been a few days since dad fell sick. After returning from the hospital, he demanded to stay with me. I was happy to have him over. I can take care of my daughter and my father.“You look very happy for someone whose father had a stroke a few days ago,” Icy had been bothering me a lot these days. Or should I say, she was back to teasing me.“The feeling of being loved is a very different feeling, Icy. It makes you feel alive.” I smiled with myself. “Remember how we used to always say we will grow up and become just like dad? I was broken, shattered every time I remembered him hating me.” I admitted to have missed him the most.“Well, I am sensing a bit of energy today.” As usual, she had to ruin my mood.“What are you sensing?” I asked her, filling the soup in the bowl for my dad. I was now sleeping with Hope and had cleaned my room for dad.“I don’t know. There is ju
“Why is she here in our mansion again? Did the alpha king not forbid you all from keeping her out of here?” Tessa yelled as she approached me with Roxanne.“She doesn’t let her daughter come here but she comes here shamelessly,” finally, now that Hope and Silas were not around, Roxanne was showing her true colors.“And why are you crying? I sent a message by the hands of a guard to my mate but I heard that he is in the hospital, tell me what did you do to him? Did you not take care of him?” Tessa was speaking very bitterly to me. Sadly, my condition wasn’t suggesting that I be petty with her.I noticed they were all set to go somewhere, they might be headed to the hospital thinking something happened to Abel.“I am here to speak to Silas,” I ignored the two and wished to meet him in sobs.“How dare you say my mate’s name so nonchalantly?” Roxanne stepped forehead as she c
“You are going to finish this and then your grandpa will read you a story,” I kissed Hope’s forehead, making her finish the glass of milk and then gesturing at my father to join her.It’s been some days since she had returned to the house and was doing much better than before as well. I haven’t spoken to Silas again, we never even looked at each other’s faces.After he gave blood to her, he disappeared for an entire day. Roxanna and Tessa didn’t know anything yet, they thought Silas had somehow arranged a doctor to get blood from Desmond.I haven’t let Roxanne or Tessa come over here and see Hope for now as the doctor advised Hope to complete bed rest.As for Desmond, I haven’t informed him of her health. I wasn’t ready to see him and I feared if he got the news, he will come here and start questioning me about where did I arrange the blood from?I am sure he wouldn’t care about me l
We have transferred to the main mansion and Roxanne couldn't ask for more."I bought these two as well," she showed the teddy bears to my father who was setting Hope's room with her.I was standing in the corner watching them ask Hope and she was busy bossing them around.Had my sister not been brought up wrong, we could have had a good relationship but now it's not possible as we also share the same mate."Mommy look!" Hope showed me the toy car Roxanne had got her. I gave her a smile and then looked away.I got a room right next to hers where all my stuff was relocated to."And I brought sandwiches," Tessa appeared with a plate in her hand and my motherly instincts woke up."What is in them?" I did not want to be so upfront in front of a hope but I'm a mother, who had seen people trying steal her daughter from her so I was forced to not hold back and protect my daughter at any cost."How could you ask me such a thing?" she pl
I have only reached the park when I spotted them on a bench together, calmly looking at the river ahead of them.“I am sorry!” Silas mumbled, sounding genuinely guilty. Hope must have left the house and he had followed her to here.“No!” Hope shook her head, “You are very rude,” I bet she pouted but I couldn’t see because I could only stare at their backs.“More than your mother?” he tried to joke but Hope turned to him in anger to defend me.“My mother is not rude at all, you are the rude one,” she was very adorable. How could someone even scold her?“Okay okay! I am sorry, she is not rude. But hey, I am sorry. I shouldn’t have said those things to you,” at least he was apologizing.“Huh!” she grunted, “you didn’t even take me to dinner,” she pouted very cutely.“Tell me how do I redeem myself?” Silas inquired
“I heard from Hope that she went through an accident and I was surprised that you haven’t told me about it.” Desmond had entered the room and sat down to speak to me. I hadn’t overcome the shock I had received from his sudden arrival. I was busy crying my heart out when he had arrived.“I didn’t want to bother you,” I replied, looking at my fingers.“You don’t have to think twice before calling me when Hope needs my support.” He stated very aggressively, tapping his fingers on his cellphone to get my attention.“Yeah! I remember doing that and what was your first reaction? You wanted me to say some stupid stuff to satisfy your ego,” I couldn’t hold in, never born to hold it in. I kept my tone natural but conveyed my message and point properly.He looked shocked, his eyes were blank, and his lips slightly parted to express the shock he had received from me.“Why are
