Vanessa’s POVI sat in the tranquil garden, my heart heavy with sorrow as I watched from afar Dante and Willow, lost in a world of their own, oblivious to the pain they were causing me. The gentle breeze whispered through the trees, but its soothing touch couldn't ease the ache in my chest.It's been almost two weeks since I last spoke to Dante, after he made love to me and left me in the room like it meant nothing to him, I had decided to avoid him at all cost. I spent most of my time in my room or the garden away from their nonsense but it seems like they are determined to rub it on my face today.As they laughed and embraced each other, I felt a wave of sadness wash over me, no matter how hard I tried not to feel I just couldn't help it. I am madly in love with this man and there is nothing I can do about it. Sometimes I couldn't help but wonder why her, and why not me. What was so special about Willow that made him choose her? Doubts gnawed at me, eroding my self-esteem.Every sto
Vanessa’s POVAs I slowly opened my eyes, the sterile scent of the hospital filled my senses. The bright fluorescent lights above cast an eerie glow on the plain white walls. Confusion washed over me as I tried to piece together what had happened. How did I end up here?My heart raced in my chest, and a surge of panic coursed through my veins. The beeping of the machines beside my bed only intensified my anxiety. I frantically looked around, searching for answers. The sight of the IV drip attached to my arm and the hospital gown I wore only deepened my bewilderment.I couldn't help but wonder what happened to me, the last thing I remember was running away from Drake and throwing up. So how did I end up here? Questions flooded my mind, each one more urgent than the last. The memories leading up to this moment were a blur, like fragments of a shattered mirror. I desperately tried to recall the events that led me here, but my mind drew a blank.
Vanessa’s POV“You are pregnant” the doctor's words kept ringing in my ears, as I sat on the bed looking all lost and sad. I am carrying a child inside of me, yet I am not excited about it because my husband doesn't care. “My lady!” Aphrodite called out jolting me out of my thoughts, “Are you alright, I have been calling you for a while now”“Yeah I am fine,” I replied trying to hide my emotion but it was clear that I wasn't fine.“Do you want me to call the doctor, you don't look fine” Aphrodite persisted, I know she was concerned about me but I can't tell her what was going on because she is very loyal to Alpha Dante. “No, I promise I am fine, I just need to rest a little bit,” I said calmly looking for a way to dismiss her without making her worry.“Okay, I will leave you to it then, if you need anything please let me know” Aphrodite replied and I nodded positively. I watched as she walked out of the door
Vanessa’s POV“Your bath is ready my lady,” Aphrodite said bowing her head to me.“Thank you Aphrodite” I replied as I stood up from the bed and made my way to the bathroom.“I will come back when you are done,” Aphrodite said looking at me, it wasn't a question but she was waiting for me to answer. when she didn't get a reply she asked. “Are you alright my lady”“Yes I am, I just need some time alone” I replied politely, I wasn't fine but I didn't want to bother Aphrodite with my problems.I haven't been myself since I overheard Dante telling Willow that I meant nothing to him, I have never felt so hurt in my life and the one person who I loved the most is the reason behind it. As I sat in the bathtub, the warm water enveloping my body, my mind was consumed by a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. The flickering candlelight cast dancing shadows on the walls, mirroring the uncertainty that clouded my heart.
Vanessa’s POVI slowly opened my eyes, As the warm glow of sunlight pierced through the curtains, casting a golden hue on the unfamiliar room. “Where is this place?” I said to myself as Confusion washed over me. I struggled to piece together the events that led me here, The only memory that remained was the desperate need to escape from the suffocating confines of the palace.I sat up, my heart pounding in my chest, as I took in my surroundings. The room was simple yet inviting, adorned with soft colors and delicate furnishings. It felt like a sanctuary, a place where I could finally breathe freely. But as I scanned the room, my mind raced with questions. Where was I? How did I end up here?The unfamiliarity of my surroundings heightened my sense of disorientation. I could feel the weight of uncertainty pressing down on me, making it difficult to think clearly. My eyes darted from one object to another, searching for any clue that could unravel the mystery of this place.A surge of p

I just got back from the date Willow had forced me into going to.“Aphrodite was is wrong, is there another attack on the pack” I asked eagerly waiting for her reply, I hadn’t even gotten to my room when she ran up to me panting.“No, my lady, my lady” Aphrodite kept panting my lady which meant she was talking about Vanessa, I became worried, and curious about what happened to Vanessa. “What happened to Vanessa? Did she faint again? Where is she?” I flooded Aphrodite with questions, at this point I was getting impatient with her lack of words.“No my lord, Vanessa is missing” I heard Aphrodite say, I couldn’t believe my ears, what did she mean by Vanessa is missing? “What are you talking about, isn’t she in her room?” I asked looking all confused and worried.

The laughter, the late-night conversations, the way her eyes sparkled when she smiled, it all came rushing back, intensifying the pain in my chest. How could I have been so blind? How could I have jeopardized something so precious?I couldn't help but think of all the times I had said mean and cruel things to her. I replayed every scene in my head, from how I had accused her of sleeping with Drake to when I allowed her sister to stay here even though I knew it was going to hurt her deeply. And to make everything worse I let Willow stay in the palace even after promising Vanessa that I would never hurt her. I didn't know that was e
