SAMANTHA’S POV
“Where the hell were you Samantha.” Jonathan repeated.I went silent,I didn’t know what to say.How do I explain what happened.Would Jonathan believe me even if my parent don’t.I knew Maeve would understand me better but would father believe me?.“I……I was.” The words found it hard to escape my mouth.“Of cause she can’t give you an answer when all she did was cheat under the pretense of looking for me.” Maeve said loudly.I was dumbfounded,it felt like a sword went directly through my chest,even if everyone was going to question me.Why Maeve?.I believed if others didn’t believe me,she would but she said this?.She was the one who went out with Mike,A married man.“Maeve,how can you say that to me.” I said to her crying.“I was worried about you!,looking for you like a mad woman around town and you…” I couldn’t complete my words as I chocked on my tears“How dare you Samantha.” Jonathan fumes in anger“I can explain please,everyone should hear me out I was at the address you sent me Maeve.” I screamed but they seem to care lessI fell unto the ground as everyone yelled at me,Maeve wasn’t excluded which broke me more.“She did it for money.” Maeve said to Jonathan as he paced around the living room.“No I did not.” I stood up ready to defend every last bit of dignity I had but I was hushed when Maeve took out her phone and threw it on me.It was a video of me and the stranger in the lounge as he pounded me,I went stiff.Every single self respect I had crumbled in my face and the next thing I knew was my Father’s palm colliding with my face.“How dare you bring disgrace to the family,what is it you want that I never did.” My father said as he spat in my face.“You’ll pay for this Samantha Infact this family as a whole will pay for it.” Jonathan said loudly as he threatened us.I tried explaining things but instead I was slapped again by my mother as Jonathan fumes on how my father couldn’t keep me under his arm and he will make him pay for it.I kept weeping and begging, even tried holding my father’s leg as I plead but he kicked me across the room bruising my left eye against the wall.“Get away from me you bastard.” He shouted“You adopted whore.” He continued.“Father!!.” I yelled as I weptI understand that he could call me anything given the circumstances but an adopted whore?.“Jonathan,you can kill her for all I care but I won’t let a bastard destroy everything I have built.” My father said as he faced Jonathan.Bastard?.Adopted?.I felt like the room was spinning,I was adopted?.“Mom.” I said as I tried to sound audible even though my voiced was cracked.“Don’t you dare call me that,I’m not your mother.” She replied“I can never mother a whore like you,Maeve is my one and only child and she would never disgrace this family like you did.” She continued.I felt sick from the inside,I have loved and given my all for everyone only to be thrown aside like this,I couldn’t control the tears that rolled down my cheeks.I tried to imagine this was all a dream but I was brought back to reality by the yells and screams.The next thing thing I knew was my father going upstairs while my mom and sister yelled and abuse me calling me different names.My father came down the stairs with my luggages and threw them towards me.“Get out of my house,Now!!.” He said.I kept begging and begging but my father kept yelling at me,I tried explaining how I was sedated and couldn’t recall much but everyone thought I was trying to make my way out of the mess.What was the point anyway?I was adopted.No wonder my inner wolf never really connected to Maeves’ that was because we were never sisters in the first place.My father threw me and my load out of the house and shut the door as I weep profusely.I was hoping someone would at least come out to me but no one did.I was left in the cold.I decided to leave as no one was willing to hear me out……********My phone battery was dead flat.I didn’t take my card or anything from the house and there was no way I could buy or do anything.I have dedicated all my life to Maeve and family,Maeve was my best friend,my friend and everything or should I say I considered her my everything.I can never imagine In a thousand years that she’ll do this to me.I could feel usher weeps silently as she tried to console me but it was of no use.I was beyond damage.I was able to see about a couple of dollars in my box so I walked downtown for almost four hours to get a motel I could afford which I finally found even though it wasn’t good enough but I didn’t have a choice,do I ?.I checked into my room and sat on the floor resting my back against the bed furniture,I wept and wept till I felt void,I wondered if this was all a dream.Someone should please wake me then.I can’t do this anymore,I honestly can’t.I’m sure I spent about three hours on this spot crying and I concluded I was going to see Jonathan one last time,maybe if Maeve didn’t understand,he would.i consoled myself letting my hope high.I’m sure Jonathan will understand once I speck to him…………EPILOGUEOn the 24th of August,my beautiful daughter Ava was born.At the right time too."she's so lovely"Martha,my new mother said as tears welled up in her eyes."Isn't she?"Manuel said softly as he stretched out his hands to envelope the beautiful tiny creature in his hands."Daddy let me see,let me see!" Nora chirped jumping up and down just to get a good look of her baby sister."Yes!I finally have a sister. Thank you mummy!"she said excitedly.I laughed.Manuel planted a soft kiss on my forehead."You did great Samantha thank you for eveything. Thank you for coming into my life. "He said softly settling in the chair beside my bed with the baby in his arms."She's so tiny dad"Rey said in disbelief.I laughed."Yes she is darling. "He responded."Its amazing. Were we really this tiny too when we were little?" Finn added.My heart filled with joy looking at my family.Martha stood at Manuel's side with the baby in her arms and a warm smile on her face. While my kids surrounded Manu
SAMANTHA POVMy mind trailed back to all the seasons in our lives that seemed difficult that we never imagined we would scale through but we did. And I was eternally grateful to having the fate to meet Manuel in my life.He was indeed a blessing in my life.We had fought multiple times.***FLASHBACK***"There is no way that I will have a relationship in secret and I will never stand here and watch as other men sniff after what's mine" He told me grimly."I'm not an object!"I shouted.He arched a brow at me."No matter what you do now,you can't take it back. You're mine"he stated matter of factly."You're not saying that you love me but that I need to stay with you forever "I said."You're mated to me now.No man would be foolish enough to come close to you not when you belong to me now. "he said, pulling on his pants.I opened my mouth to speak but we were interrupted by the soft knock on the door."Mommy!"Nova's voice called out.I wrapped my robe tighter around my body. Walking over
MANUEL'S POVWe had come a long way. There was a lot of past behind us.I recalled all the moments I feared we wouldn't make it last.***FLASHBACK***How long will you keep up this act?"I asked."Am sorry, what act?" She asked feigning innocence.I groaned in frustration."You do not know what I went through there.They helped me and I couldn't just let your jealously get the best of you and have you laying baseless accusations against someone that had done absolutely nothing to you"I spoke.I watched as her expression changed with each word I spoke."Jealousy? Baseless accusations?" she repeated.I groaned out."You know that's not what I meant by that.I just...She turned to walk away. My hand snaked out to grip her arm."Manuel,let me go."She told me trying to struggle out of my grasp."Don't walk away from me when am talking to you."I warned holding her tighter."Manuel,let me go!" She cried.I saw tears pooled around her eyes as she struggled to break free.I dragged her into my of
SAMANTHA'S POVFive months later..."Why would you say that?"I heard his voice say in a hushed whisper."Is mummy sleeping?" Nora said."Look.Look.."Finn cried."Samantha?"Manuel spoke up"Doctor!she's awake!she's awake!"I heard him calling out.The first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was the intense glare of the overhead lightning.I raised my hand to cover my eyes until my eyes adjusted to the light.When the doctor were done with their tests and my vitals were checked, I watched the relief on all their faces.From Micheal and a beautiful female who was glued to his side.I couldn't hide the smile that crept up on my face which he returned with a boyish grin.My kids ran up to me.And with Manuel's help I was able to get them all on my bed.I was seated with my unbelievably huge belly inbetween my thighs.I had been told that I was asleep for over five months and that there had been any sort of hope of me recovering. And that it was a Miracle that I had survived evenafter loo
MANUEL'S POVOne second.Two seconds passed but still nothing.My heart pounding in my chest as I waited for the people to speak. The council looked smug on their table as they watched the tumult of emotions that passed through my face as I watched the crowd."Alpha Manuel!" Someone shouted from the crowd."Long live Alpha Manuel!" Another rose to cheer.And the rest stood chanting.Soon the room is filled with eruptions of cheers and claps as they chorused their answer."Long live Alpha Manuel!"They chanted in harmony."Order!order this minute! "The speaker rose shouting at the top of his lungs until the rook went silent again."You have all made your choice and we have all taken it into consideration. But until we have reached a final consensus, Alpha Manuel will be stripped of the Alpha Position and his Beta Rdyer will resume duties in his place until the trial is finalised."the man declared.The room erupted in an uproar of angry emotions."How dare you!"I shouted stilling the cr
MANUEL'S POV"What is this Manuel?" I cried."Where have you been?!" He said through gritted teeth."What is that supposed to mean?Are you monitoring my whereabouts now?"I asked in disbelief."Just tell me where you were Dammit!" He said.I jerked backwards at his raised voiceHe took steps backwards pacing away from me,running a hand through his hair."Why are you getting angry at me for?" She cried."You ...you've been having an affair all this while and I didnt know.How couldn't I have known. "I told her.Her mouth grew agape in feigned shock.I felt my blood boil mat the thought that she thought she could deceive me."Where is all this coming from Manuel?"She asked.I couldn't let her know that it was Maeve because it wasn't. All Maeve did was comform a suspicion that I've had for the longest time."That's not important. What's important is the fact that you've been secretive,absent and distant for a while now"'I told her.She raised her hand up in exasperation."That's because I
