Selina's POV.

I stepped out for a walk alone.

Been doing that a lot lately since the awkwardness between Declan and I, and the only way to avoid all of that was going for a walk alone, until we figure out a way to deal with everything.

I kept to the path just behind the old training field, It was quiet there.

My hand absently drifted to my stomach, I wasn't exactly showing that much yet, even when I'm almost due for delivery. But sometimes, in quiet moments like this, I could feel something shifting inside me. Life, maybe.

I was halfway down the gravel path when a sudden pain struck.

It wasn’t the kind of pain you could ignore, the kind that hits and then fades. No, this was sharp and sudden, like a blade twisted just below my ribs. I gasped and stopped walking, one hand gripping the bark of a nearby tree as I bent forward, willing it to pass.

Breathe. In. Out. Count to ten. I closed my eyes.

After a few seconds, it eased. Not completely, but enough to stand up again

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   Chapter hundred and twenty six.

    Eva's POV. After the laughter died down from Elder Kruger’s shockingly hilarious confession, the room shifted again, slowly changing from amusement to a heavier, more serious atmosphere. I was so glad that the truth herb had proven itself. It was undeniable now.There was no trick. No illusion. Every word Alonzo and Lady Isabella had confessed was the truth and everyone believed. I could see it now on their faces. The dawning realization, the bitter aftertaste of having once supported the wrong people.I glanced at Nicklaus. He stood tall on that podium, arms crossed behind him, no smugness on his face, only quiet, controlled vindication. His eyes burned with a calm fire, one that made it clear this wasn’t about winning. It was about justice.He took a step closer to the edge of the podium and faced Alonzo again. "Since the air is clear now… I’d like to ask one more question.”The crowd went silent again, anticipation rippling across the room.He looked down at Alonzo, who still s

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   chapter hundred and twenty five.

    Eva's POV.The second Nicklaus and I exchanged our signal glance, he didn't waste a second. Without any need for announcement or extra ceremony, he made his way to the podium in the center of the grand hall.I stepped aside and found a spot where I could see him clearly. My heart beat a little faster. This was it. This was the moment that would change everything.Nicklaus stood tall and still for a moment, commanding attention simply by being present, slowly pulling every pair of eyes in his direction.Then he cleared his throat.The chatter ceased instantly.“Good evening,” he began, his deep voice echoing with calm authority. “Thank you all for coming tonight, I know I’ve never thrown a party before, and many of you probably didn’t know what to expect, yet you came anyway. That means something to me.”His voice softened slightly, and a few murmurs of agreement moved through the crowd.“I have an announcement to make,” he continued, folding his hands behind his back. “One that requir

    Eva's POV. I was still sitting on the edge of the bed, as Renna’s words played on a loop in my head.He’s starving...I hadn’t even realized I was still lost in thought when the door opened, and his scent filled my nostrils immediately. He walked in, tall and composed, dressed in a black tuxedo that fit his sculpted frame like sin itself and goodness, his hair… ruffled in the way that looked both intentional and effortless.I had seen him all dressed up when he left to get some things ready but it still felt like it was the first time I was setting my eyes on him today. My feet moved before my mind caught up.I was already up, already running across the room, and wrapped my arms tightly around his torso when his arms instinctively caught me.“Whoa,” he chuckled, tilting his head to look down at me. “What’s the occasion?”I hugged tighter, burying my face into the firmness of his chest.“Can’t I just hug my husband whenever I want?” I said, pulling back just enough to look at him.O

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   Chapter hundred and twenty three.

    Eva's POV. The stylists finally stepped away, their final touches complete, I sat still facing the mirror, my eyes sweeping slowly across my reflection with a wide smile on my face. The dress was red colored, with off-shoulder sleeves, hugging my curves like it had been stitched for my body alone. My hair was pinned elegantly with curled tendrils framing my face, and for once, I saw a woman who looked like she belonged beside a man like Nicklaus.Still, I couldn’t shake the butterflies in my stomach.The party was tonight.Everything we’d been planning was in motion, every secret, every threat, was coming to an end. Nicklaus had sent out invitations to every household two days ago. The entire pack would be present, unknowingly stepping into a trap paved with wine and truth herbs.I should’ve felt triumphant. But instead, I found myself pressing a hand over my chest to calm the thudding of my heart.I couldn’t wait for it to be over, for us to have peace again, just Nicklaus and me.

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   Hundred and twenty two.

    Eva's POV.Descending the staircase with Nicklaus’s hand grabbing mine firmly felt like walking into a dream I didn’t want to wake up from. It had only been a few days since he was gone, but those days had stretched like eternity, but now, with the warmth of his palm in mine and the strength of his presence beside me, it was almost as if the storm had passed... almost.My brows furrowed voluntary as we stepped into the dining hall, a young lady sat at the end of the long table, sipping delicately from a wine glass, her back was to us at first, but the moment we approached, she turned, and I instantly recognized her face, she was the lady I saw beside Nicklaus few minutes ago when he returned. I hadn't paid any attention to her then but looking properly now, I had to admit, she was breathtaking.Her hair was long, ashen brown with washing past her shoulders in soft waves, she wasn’t intimidating, not in the obvious way, but rather effortlessly regal.She stood immediately upon sightin

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   Chapter hundred and twenty one.

    Eva's POV.I sat by the window, my arms wrapped tightly around myself as I stared out at the cloud heavy sky, my heart pounding hard against my chest.Four days.It had been four whole days.Nicklaus was supposed to return on the third. That was what he said, what I’d held on to. But now we were on the fourth, and there was no sign of him, no call, no message.And the silence was beginning to eat me alive.I hadn’t been able to sleep the night before. I tossed and turned endlessly, hugging his pillow like it could magically bring me comfort, but all it did was remind me of the emptiness beside me. My eyes felt puffy, my skin dull, and my nerves were on the edge. It was as though I was walking on hot coals all day long, waiting for something to snap. And worse, far worse than the silence was the way Lady Isabella’s voice kept playing over and over in my head. "What will the pack think when they find out you’re wolfless?"The fear curled tightly around my chest every time I thought ab
