تسجيل الدخولCarmen's povThe moment Cayden mentioned the baby, something inside of me snapped, and the atmosphere between us changed completely.The warmth from earlier vanished like it had never existed. Instead a suffocating gloom set in.I stared at Cayden, fingers already extended behind my back. I liked Cayden, I felt he was reasonable and a good person but no one, I repeat, no one could threaten the safety of my baby and still live, I would never allow that!Never!“How long?” My voice came out sharper than I intended. “Since the anniversary of my mother's death.” His words made me freeze. That long, it had almost been a month since that happened.“So you knew I was with child for a month? Why didn't you say anything, or do anything?”Cayden nodded at me. “I have to tell you the truth. When I first heard my mother tell me that the lady I came with into the museum was with child, my first thought was murder.”“Silas' mother did a lot to me and my mother, halved my potential, made me have
Silas POVEverything had become completely unbearable. No, scratch that… everything had become irritating, humiliating and disgusting.The entire Silvercrest pack had turned into a leaking drum over the past days, the insults that I had been given had both demoralized me and ruined my reputation.No matter how many of those bastards I killed, they were still multiplying. Even the pack elders, men who used to nod in blind agreement with whatever I said, had started looking at me with quiet, questioning doubt. They had grown to challenge my authority. The authority of the Alpha of Silvercrest.It was all Chloe's fault, how could a woman be so foolish and stupid, fighting with me over something so useless?If Chloe was not pregnant, I would have been done with her already. To make it worse, where the hell was Carmen?She was a Luna but she couldn't take care of the affairs of her own pack. What sort of Luna was that?My knuckles turned white against the leather of the steering wheel a
Carmen's povThe detention chamber fell into complete silence after Silver's words. The three of us were just staring at each other, the scent of blood still lingering in my nose.Silver stood there lazily as though he had not just allowed an important person to die and even threatened an Alpha like he was talking to a baby.Meanwhile, Cayden stood there, his silhouette looming over me, his eyes fixed on Silver. Then unexpectedly, he gave a deep bow to silver.“Thank you.”My mouth hung open when I heard that, the emotions clearly written on my face.Even Silver looked mildly surprised, a light acknowledgment visible in his eyes. Silver then snorted softly, his bubbly aura slowly returning back, the atmosphere that was previously gloomy cleared up.“I am going to catch her now,” Silver vanished. His speed shocked me because I could not believe that anything could move that fast.“He's a thousand years old, he can do things that seem crazy to us.” Cayden explained.“Werewolves could
Carmen's povVera continued speaking, completely unbothered by my darkening face.“I watched you grow up, and call me mother in front of your real mother. I was delighted when I saw Estelle retreat in pain everyday, it made me so happy.”“Then I found out about the engagement with Cayden. I was so confused and jealous, because my daughter had no romantic and rich suitors coming for her at the time so it fueled my rage further.”“However, Silas approached me first, his eyes set on you, not because you were beautiful or anything like that. After all you were wallow, weak, a mess and shallow.”“He found out you were Estelle's daughter, so he wanted you at the time. I didn't particularly like Silas. He was a joke at that point, he was more than three decades old and still had to be his mother's puppet.”“To survive, he needed Estelle’s help. Silas was not courageous at all so he chose becoming friends with you as an easy way out.”“Silas was further infuriated when he found out about the
Carmen's povThe underground detention chambers beneath the Aries territory were cold. Not ordinary cold, the type of cold that crawled slowly beneath your skin and settled directly into your bones.Silver walked ahead lazily with his hands tucked inside the pockets while Cayden stayed beside me silently.None of us spoke much during the walk. There was no need. Because all three of us knew that tonight, whatever we heard tonight would change a lot of things.It would change the relationship between me and Cayden in the long run.The heavy steel doors opened slowly. Then I saw her. Vera sat chained against the far wall, her clothes wrinkled and stained after the struggle from earlier, yet somehow…She was still smug.That expression alone immediately irritated me.Even trapped inside a supernatural prison, she looked like someone secretly holding victory in her hands.The moment her eyes landed on Cayden, she suddenly smiled sharply.“Cayden.” Her voice echoed unpleasantly through the
Carmen's povMy eyes rippled tiredly as I lifted them up, the first thing filling my mind was warmth.Not physical warmth, something softer, safer like someone was massaging my heart.After some minutes, the fog surrounding my vision cleared. Cayden was there, seated beside my bed, his hands absentmindedly playing with my necklace. The blue light shimmered lightly bringing along with it memories that were foggy in school.The overload caused me to inhale instantly.Cayden turned to look at me, his eyes lifted towards me as he inched closer to the bed. “You're awake.”I nodded slightly, reaching to grab the necklace instinctively but before I could go close to it, Cayden pulled me down.One arm slid around my waist while the other pressed gently beside my head, pinning tightly against the mistress.“Tell me,” Cayden said quietly, his gaze locked in on me more intensely.I frowned slightly, the heat coming from his body threatening to burn me. “None of your business.” I pushed him off
