"Are you OK?" Emily questioned. I put my hand to my head and looked around before heaving a sigh and nodding my head slowly."Are you sure? You were turning a lot and I got scared. Are you really fine? Would you rather have a word with her Highness or the queen mother instead?" Emily asked further, looking genuinely worried.I thought about it carefully and shook her head no. I didn't want to bother any of them anymore with my problems, they had already done enough for me.Besides, telling them would not do anything for me, it wouldn't take away the nightmares, it would only increase their anger towards Zephyr and as I said before, I don't want to be the reason for a war, I only want peace.Emily understood and didn't ask further. "Alright. Please get ready quickly, breakfast will be ready soon and I'm sure everyone will be expecting you at the table." Emily said while she drew up the curtains and sunlight washed into the room.I sat up properly and made to get out of bed but I sat ba
I had another nightmare that night and the following nights. I've been living in the palace for two weeks now and each night, I always had a nightmare about Zephyr either beating me up and killing me or raping me. This gradually plunged me into insomnia and then depression. I couldn't eat properly and I grew scared of sleeping. Tara tried to talk me out of it but she couldn't. It was apparent that she was also scared too.Elsie noticed my sudden withdrawal and she tried to find out what the problem was but I couldn't bring myself to tell her. I knew telling someone would help to bring me some relief but I still felt scared, I didn't want to recall what he did to me so many days ago.Ana hadn't been feeling well so she didn't find out about my withdrawal and it was better she didn't know, I really didn't want to add to her problems.Emily also tried to help but I just pushed her away and stopped communicating with her. Kayden gradually became a pain because he was trying to look for wa
I almost couldn't believe it. I'm…… I'm pregnant? But how? Flashes of that night come into my mind. No….. No….. It……. It can't be. I try to convince myself that I couldn't be pregnant from Zephyr raping me but alas, I was failing miserably at it. How can I be pregnant with that monster's child? My life is officially ruined, he had managed to succeed in his plans. He was right when he said that I would never be able to truly escape him. I had run away from the pack, met up with amazing people who had taken me in and treated me no less than a queen but yet I wasn't completely free from him, he still managed to haunt my dreams, to toy with my sanity and now his seed is growing inside me. Just how cruel could fate be? What had I done to deserve this?I didn't even realize when I burst into tears. Elsie saw this and the look on her face turned from one of anger to that of worry and sadness."Evelyn, Evelyn are you OK? Why are you crying so much? I didn't mean to upset you, you know you ca
I wrote down my decision and Elsie nodded her head and smiled at me but I knew she wasn't genuinely happy with me because her smile was fake, it didn't reach her eyes. She was only smiling at me as a form of encouragement but I know that this is a step I need to take."That's good. You're the one carrying the child so only you can decide if you want to give birth to him or not. I want you to know that I'll always support you no matter what decision you make.You must be feeling tired and hungry, I'll send Emily to bring you something to eat and you have to eat it, OK? If you don't I'll be mad at you." She threatened and I smiled and nodded, it just feels so good to have someone who is willing to support you through anything."I'll go check up on our mother for now, just please eat and rest properly, I'll come back to check on you soon." She promised and stood up to leave.She got to the door and turned to me, giving me a smile before walking out."What? Have you gone crazy?" Tara atta
He walked up to me and grabbed me in a hug and I couldn't help blushing. "Are you alright?" He questioned and I nodded. "I came as soon as I heard the news, what were you thinking when you hurt yourself? Don't you realize the high amount of pressure you've put on everyone. So many people care about you so you should think about them as well before making any rash decisions." He cautioned and I smiled, knowing that he cared about me.Emily cleared her throat signaling us that she was still present and Kayden instantly pulled away, realizing that we weren't alone."I have a request, please don't do something like that ever again." He pleaded and I nodded. I wasn't even going to think of the possibility."Emily, is she really OK? What did the doctor say?" He questioned. "She's fine, the doctor only said she needs to eat a lot of healthy food, rest and also exercise so that her baby would be born healthy." Emily said and Kayden's smile disappeared instantly."What? What are you talking a
I felt a pair of hands on me but I didn't open my eyes, still too tired to care. I finally opened my eyes when I felt like I was being moved. My eyes hurt as they were still hazy with sleep so I kept them half lidded, just so I could get a glimpse of what was going on. I saw that my surroundings seemed to be moving and then I finally realized that I wasn't dreaming, I was actually being moved.I shot my head up so fast that it ached. I saw that Kayden was the one carrying me. He had me securely wrapped in his arms and he was carrying me to my room, bridal style. My sudden movements must have alerted him of my consciousness."Ssh….. Don't say anything, just go back to sleep. You're safe with me." He hushed and whispered to me sweetly and I don't know why but my body just relaxed instantly. I hadn't known him very long but I knew that I could trust him.I closed her eyes once more and I felt him place me on something soft that sank instantly. I immediately realized it was my bed. I woul
"Are you sure you want to do this? The effects are irreversible." The doctor asked and I nodded. She sighed and gave me the pill.Ana, Elsie and Emily smiled at me reassuringly but it just made me nervous. If I was going to terminate my pregnancy, then I'd much appreciate it if four people weren't staring at me as if I were about to commit the worst crime ever.I took my book and pen and wrote down that I'd prefer to do this in solitary. Elsie read it and nodded. "Sorry, we'll give you some space then. We'll be waiting outside in case you need anything." She said and they turned to leave."You'll surely experience some pain and discomfort when the pill kicks in but if it becomes unbearable or you feel like something's wrong, alert me instantly." The doctor advised and I nodded. They all left the room, finally leaving me to do what I've wanted to do since I found out about this pregnancy.I don't know why but I feel very nervous about this, there's an uncanny feeling in my lower belly
"You mean Margallo." She corrected him."Yes, Margallo." Alpha Richard said and it was obvious that he would have rolled his eyes if it weren't rude."Margallo? What kind of name is that? She's going to be a bitch for sure, I can already feel it." Tara said and I sighed.'Tara, you're only saying this because you're hurt as well but we really shouldn't blame her. If there's someone we should be mad at, it should be Kayden. He hid the truth from us and toyed with our emotions. I'll never forgive him for this.' I told Tara and she said nothing but she continued to rage within me. She had every right to, I also felt the same way but I had to control myself."Evelyn, meet Margallo, Margallo meet Evelyn." Kayden introduced the both of us but I just stared at him with eyes full of hurt and when he saw how I felt, he looked away just like a coward."Whatever." The annoying girl by the name of MARGALLO said dismissively as if I wasn't there or I was a little piece of detail she could simply i
