LOGINMABELI should have felt bad for letting my parents leave, but I didn't. Not after they sided with Kyran without caring to know how I felt, where I have been all these while. My father believed that as long as Kyran regretted his actions, then that was enough. I should run into his arms, and accept that two years ago didn't exist. That he hasn't abandoned me, and my daughter.“Mommy, what are you thinking?” I heard Kyra's voice, and I immediately snapped out of my thoughts. I was sitting with Kyra and Evie on the dinner table, a fork in my hand, jabbing at my food mindlessly. Evie was also staring at me accusingly. Earlier I had gestured to her to prepare dinner so that my parents could have something to eat, but after I had told my mother what to say to Kyran, my dad had yelled at me. Then they turned to leave. Perhaps he had expected me to call them back, but I didn't.Now there was more food on the table for just the three of us. Evie wasn't pleased with food wastage. “Ah, not
KYRAN. We arrived at the small house I rented on a card. Arlan was with me, holding his small bag in his left hand. The house was cool and small compared to the place I had spent my entire life living in as an alpha. There were only two bedrooms, a small kitchen, and a small bath house. Nothing luxurious. Outside, there was a small wood fence, and a little flower garden well tended. “You can choose to go back to the palace, and stay with Advisor Percy,” I said to Arlan. He didn't reply to me, instead he walked past me, and directly entered the building. “Arlan —” He paused at the door, then turned to look at me. He had this distant look that seemed to blame me for whatever had happened. “I would bring mom back, and until I do that, I am not going to leave,” he said. He didn't wait for my reply and just went inside. I stood there for a while staring at the door, then a soft exhale left my lips. I had left everything over to advisor Percy. He had tried to stop me, giving me reas
MABEL. “I thought you had died,” she said again, and came closer. The next second, I was pulled in for a hug. She checked my pulse, touched my face, her eyes wet. I had thought I was really unwanted, and I was trouble for them. Seeing the way she checked me like I was a young child who got lost in the woods, and returned with open wounds, I couldn't help but feel warmth spread through my chest.“I'm okay,” I said softly. Mom Jean immediately dragged me to the couch, and made me sit down. “We saw in the news two years ago that you had died. So how …” “I never died mom,” I said. Her eyes widened with curiosity. I turned to stare at Evie. She noticed my gaze, understood what I was communicating, and nodded before she left. I pulled away from my mother and glanced towards my dad. “How did you know where I stay?” My mother shifted uncomfortably, she stared at my father and he stared at her too. I waited, instead she exhaled and shook her head dramatically.“It's been two years, and
MABEL. “Mistress, are you sure it's okay to have Kyra start school here?” Evie asked, standing next to me. I sat in my study, scrolls scattered all over the floor. Architectures, quantum knowledge. These were the old scrolls my parents had kept for me. They could be used to manufacture drugs, weapons. PSo far, I have only managed to manufacture very few drugs, and nothing else. I couldn't crack through any other thing. “Urgh,” I groaned and flipped the scroll away. Advisor Gus had said that I was special, that I possessed unique abilities that passed down from generations to generation in my bloodline. But I'm afraid that I possess nothing significant. Even after I totally severed my bond with Kyran and broke the seal placed on me, I still haven't been able to exact my true potentials. Evie walked over to my side, picked up a scroll and glanced through it. I exhaled and fell back on the rocking chair. It rotated under my weight. I let it. “I think it would take time,” Evie s
KYRAN. “Luna Mabel is currently staying in one of the hotels in the Pack. She hasn't returned to her pack yet,” Reed said and I nodded. I had him keep an eye on everything since the banquet. Especially my mate. “Mhm, what about the files I asked for?” I asked, staring at him. He nodded, fished out a file from jacket and handed it to me.“I didn't go through Veyron, just like you told me.” I nodded, took the file. It was thick, coated in grey cardboard paper. At the centre was a name written in bold.Maria Zendaro.Gena's child I took as mine while letting my own daughter die. I glanced through the report. With each page, every word I read, my hands tightened around the paper, twisting it the same way my heart twisted. I inhaled deeply, flipped back from the first page, and reread the lines again. Impossible! I couldn't be this careless. Not this stupid! “Get Gena here!” I barked, and flung the paper away. “Now!” Reed nodded, and immediately left the study. I rubbed my hands
KYRANThe banquet ended even before it started, everyone slowly walked away. I stood in the centre, my head lowered, hands at my side. “Look at him, he looks pitiful,” a soft whisper reached my ears. My knuckles cracked to the point it turned white.Pitiful? That word used to be best reserved for Mabel alone. I remembered hearing people call her pitiful, irrelevant. At that time, I never stood up for her. I cast away the woman who needed me more than anything. A lump rose to my throat, and by the time I lifted my gaze, the hall was half empty. Elder Bane was walking towards me, alongside three other elders. Their steps were slow, more grounded with their traditional gowns. The royal guards had all left, a few alphas stayed back, and I could hear their arguments about Mabel. The woman who was never seen has suddenly become the talk of the day. “Well, would you look at that?” Silas' voice came through. I slowly turned to look at him. Arlan was still standing next to me, but he loo
Mabel’s POV The moment Kyran picked up the pen and signed those adoption papers for Gena's child, something inside me just died completely, and any tiny bit of hope I had left for this marriage was gone. I didn't even feel like crying anymore, just went totally cold as I watched him hand the docu

Mabel’s POV“Kyran, how could you do this to your own child?” I gritted out, my fingers tightening around the phone until my knuckles turned pale. But no matter how angry or heartbroken I felt right now, I refused to let his foolishness cost my daughter her life.The pack had always hated me since
Mabel’s POVMy child’s cry echoed in the hospital room, and she had been in this condition for the past six months, living between machines, injections, and restless nights that never seemed to end, with just one month left.
