Pov Alpha Gideon“What are you doing here, Katy?” I asked impatiently, as she took the opportunity to slide her hands over my chest and caress my tense muscles, leaving my wolf slightly aroused.“I just wanted to see you again. It’s been a while since you’ve been to my room, and I wanted to apologize for our last fight… I lose my reason when it comes to our daughter. You know that everything I do is for her best, and since I became a mother, I can only think about how to keep her alive…” Katy whimpered, resting her head on my chest. She looked exhausted.The doctor had mentioned that Helena had a fever on some nights this week. It was just a cold, but her immunity was weak, so he prescribed several vitamins and supplements to prevent her from losing weight.“How is she?” I asked, stroking Katy’s blonde hair as she lay in my lap.“Well… the medicines have started to work, and she’s recovering… but these last two days have been intense. I hardly got any sleep,” she said, nervously rubbi
**Some Weeks Later: POV Eleanor**"Eloise, please help me get up!" I grumbled weakly, rubbing my face.I opened my eyes and didn't see the light of day once again. There was no difference between night and day or when I was sleeping, except for the strange dreams I’d been having lately, as if someone were trying to communicate with me. Perhaps it was the Moon Goddess. Every night, I longed to meet her again, hoping I could beg her to restore my vision before I went permanently blind.“Keep your hopes up, Eleanor. The Alpha hasn’t returned from the hunt yet!” she said hopefully. “I’m sure this time he’ll manage to find the cure!” She smiled broadly. I placed my hands on Eloise’s face. It had been a long time since I could see her lovely angelic face. I only had a vague memory of her clear, innocent eyes. I often caressed her face to not forget her features.Since losing my sight, touch had become my greatest ally. It was how I could "see" the hidden things in front of me or get a sligh
**POV Eleanor**Eloise led me to the Alpha's office. As soon as we arrived, I heard whispers between the Beta and the other warriors present. I sensed his presence approaching, and then his left hand touched my face, caressing me. A slight smile appeared on my lips."Alpha..." I whispered, feeling him get closer to me."Eleanor, what are you doing awake? You should be resting. I asked for your medicine to be brought to you at seven tonight," he replied seriously, the concern evident in his voice.I felt his hands wrap around my waist, pulling me closer. He buried his head in my neck, inhaling deeply the sweet scent of my perfume, sending a shiver through my entire body."I needed to see you..." I whispered shyly. "How did the search go?" I asked, apprehensive.He lifted his head and, with a softer tone, replied, "It was a difficult journey, but we found the herb that can cure your blindness. The doctors are preparing the medicine right now."A wave of relief mixed with emotion washed
Pov EleanorAt that moment, I felt as if the ground were collapsing beneath my feet. My legs gave way, and I felt weak, almost falling to the floor. A stubborn tear escaped from my eyes before I could hold back my sobs. Eloise had to hold me so I wouldn't hurt myself. A strong pain in my chest intensified and radiated to the tips of my feet, preventing me from standing upright."This is surprising... Katy, how long have you been pregnant?" The Alpha's voice sounded extremely pleased with the news."It's been a month, since that night you came to my room and we made love," Katy replied, her tone loaded with satisfaction and malice. "I started feeling strong nausea and dizziness soon after. I suspected it might be something, but the doctor confirmed this morning that I am one month pregnant." She smiled cynically; I could sense her eyes shining with cruel pleasure."You know, Alpha," she continued, her voice sweet but with an underlying venom, "it's not surprising that I got pregnant so
POV Eleanor"Did you hear, Eloise? She’s been pregnant for a month... the dates match. While I was still weak, recovering from a near-death experience, he was having sex with another woman. How can that be love?" I asked, frustrated, as soon as Eloise sat me down on the bed."You need to calm down, Eleanor. He is the Alpha King; he can have as many women as he wants. You should be grateful to be one of his favorites. Think about it, the Alpha King doesn’t care about your disability. He even traveled for days to find the antidote that neutralizes the poison..." Eloise said, trying to console me.My pillow was soaked with tears. No matter how hard she tried to comfort me, nothing got through my mind. The pain of seeing the man I was developing feelings for having a child with another woman, especially with the woman who hates me and tried to kill me, was unbearable."He will never believe me..." I whispered angrily."What are you talking about? Drink the medicine, Eleanor," Eloise insis
Pov EleanorThat night, I was breaking out in a cold sweat. My hands and legs were trembling uncontrollably, and it felt like something ominous had entered my room. A cold breath ran down my spine, making my body shiver and curl up in fear on the bed. I turned to the side and covered myself with the blanket, trying to go back to sleep, but the pain in my body was unbearable. It felt like something was pressing on my abdomen, making it hard to breathe. Each breath was a tremendous effort, my stomach churned with such intense pain that it made me nauseous. A wave of panic washed over me, and I got up, trying to ignore the dizziness that overwhelmed me. In slow, staggering steps, I made my way to the bathroom, feeling an overwhelming urge to vomit."Eloise! Please, I need help!" I gasped, my voice coming out as a whisper. The pain was so strong that I could barely stand. Unable to see anything, I leaned against the walls of the room, trying to find my way to the bathroom. The pain in my
Pov EleanorFlashback off.I was still lying on the cold, hard floor, unable to get up. My body didn't respond to my stimuli. My hearing was impaired, and I could only hear faint, distant noises. The smell of something rotten was unbearable, making me even more nauseous and wanting to vomit."So, is this it? Is this my end? I'm losing all my senses and becoming useless, unable to move without the help of people around me..." I whispered with trembling lips, a tear escaping my eyes. "I'd prefer death to living in a vegetative state like this, unable to move or take control of my own life," I grumbled in pain."Eleanor... darling, don't say nonsense..." I heard that soft, feminine voice calling me again."Who's there?" I asked nervously, my heart racing.Every hair on my body stood on end. I felt a strong presence in my room, but I couldn't distinguish who it was. Although the voice was familiar, it filled me with fear."Eleanor... I'm here again. You don't need to be afraid of me," the
**POV Eleanor**After a few seconds, I managed to get up, feeling somewhat groggy but considerably better. I stood firm, my legs no longer wobbly. The woman’s words echoed in my mind, urging me to go to the river near the forest. With uncertain steps, I moved towards the door, my vision still somewhat blurry, allowing me to only make out shadows around me. However, a strange sensation enveloped me; my senses seemed amplified, as if my hearing and touch were sharper. I could sense people approaching and hear them from a distance.Walking through the palace corridors, still dazed, I headed to the kitchen to get a glass of water when I detected the presence of two people talking. I crouched down to listen, hiding behind the dark red curtains."Perfect... take this to her room. Tomorrow morning, everything will be according to my plans," Katy’s voice echoed from behind the stairs.The woman, with her face covered by a white veil, only showed a silver bracelet that shone brightly.
