ODEYA He told me to go away, he sent me away like I was nothing. I felt like nothing, and it stung very much. Why do I feel this hollow in my belly; like a deep and dark well? This well is painful, excruciating, and unbearable. I didn't want to cry but tears kept forming in my eyes. I hated the tears I was shedding, I hated the pain I was feeling in my heart. Previously I thought I would never break down because of Herald - no matter the history we shared - but here I am breaking. “Mom is back!” I heard a scream behind the door. I didn't realize that I had gotten to Meerah’s room until Savannah’s voice sounded in my ear. Almost immediately, I wiped my eyes and turned to her. “Baby,” I called with a high-pitched voice, sounding excited and then I squatted and opened my arms for her to come. She left the door and it went wide open and then her siblings came along, I almost fell from my position as they bumped into me. Ameerah came to the door with a smile on her face. She looked
ODEYA I didn't know the reason it was doing that way, I am certain the Alpha was the father of my children but I couldn't help it. Something in my heart was telling me bad things will happen. My body doesn't feel good about this at all. Nathan urged me to go on with my kids which I did. Ameerah rushed to me as we walked to the meeting room, she took my hand in hers and squeezed it. I looked at her, grateful that she came into my life this way and made things a lot better. Soon, we reached the meeting room. I saw the doctor in front of the Alpha who was seated and Katya, his Queen sat beside him looking at me with a creepy smile. “Tell us the result, doctor.” Herald’s eyes were on the doctor all this while, he sat up. My heart kept beating fast in my chest, goosebumps grew on my skin and I held my kids tighter. “Negative. The children do not belong to you Alpha.” The doctor bowed his head after saying the result and then he stretched the envelope to a guard who was beside the Alp
ODEYAFor the first time in a long time, I saw his eyes soften. He released his folded palms and every tension in his body was eradicated. “Is she okay?” He asked, looking at me now. “Yeah,” I answered and he nodded before looking at Nathan.“Let’s finish this in the dungeon,” he told him. “What is happening, I don't understand.” I looked at Herald who went back to his throne. “The doctor is fake, Odeya.” Abigail walked toward me after answering the question. “The children belong to the Alpha, you weren't lying,” Abigail added with a smile and then she caressed Savannah’s hair. “How come, I need to understand something? That is our pack doctor, how can you choose him over this strange doctor.” Katya rolled her eyes at Abigail who growled silently. “I am his cousin bitch, don't get me angry!” Her growl was deeper this time, seems like she had more authority compared to Katya. “Katya, calm down. You don't know Abigail because her pack is farther from mine, she is the Luna of tha
ODEYA I was quite sad that Katya had already been found out, she was once my best friend that I cared about very much. The Alpha would punish her for what she had done, I hope her punishment would be minimal though and she would learn her lesson. My kids were assigned a new maid that I didn't like, she insisted on taking my kid's baths and picking out their clothes. “Bathing time is bonding time between me and my kids so please leave,” I told her irritatingly. With this, she left without any argument. She had said the Alpha insisted that she took care of the children. The audacity of him to think I would transfer my motherhood responsibility to one woman I don't know. “So, who is ready for bath time?!” I asked. Scarlett was the first to jump on the bed, she rarely talks first but when it comes to bath time, she was always happy and active. Austin and Savannah started jumping on the bed too, a part of me was scared that would fall off but the other part of me wanted them to have
ODEYAI left the dungeon for Herald’s office. Nathan told me that Herald would be working, if he wasn't training he would be working. The expression on Nathan’s face when he mentioned Herald made me know that he was seething, perhaps it was one of the reasons he didn't want to talk to Herald. Nathan’s involvement could show Herald his feelings for Ameerah which would only worsen her case. Before I left there the duo were holding hands and staring at each other intensely. The fear of losing the other was prominent in their eyes. By this time I was in front of the Alpha’s office, but I was too scared to knock and go in. “I can sense you, what do you want?” His hoarse voice sounded behind the door. My heart tightened in my chest at the sound of his voice, and I looked at the door expectant of him. “I will ask just one more time, what do you want?” He asked again, his voice deeper than before. I could only stare at the door with a thumping heart, my entire body telling me to turn back
“You better hurry and make your decision, Ameerah is going to be beheaded tomorrow.” With this, she walked away. I watched her retreating figure wondering how I had been best friends with such a witch. How can she talk that lightly? She knew damn well that my children need their father but she wants me to leave. Standing, my fingers went into my mouth. What would I do now? It was as if she was making me choose between the health of my children and Ameerah. My heart thumped in my chest loudly, anyone could hear it from miles away. My thinking faculty had suddenly gone blank, I couldn't fathom anything. What was I supposed to do now? What was I supposed to do? Getting to my room, I saw my children playing in their nursery with the maid looking over them. Austin was the first to notice me, he stood and ran to me, wrapping his cute hands around my legs. Savannah and Scarlett came after. Smiling to not make it obvious that I had been crying, I squatted to their level and brushed thei
HERALD Her scent intoxicates me every time she comes near, it was too good. Like honey taste to the tongue so was her scent to my nostrils. It was the same as the other night when I had sex with her thinking she was Katya. Why does she scent so good? This was one of the reasons I want to avoid her at all costs. Katya was the one I love, and I would never stop loving her because of the new woman. Katya had gone through a lot at the hands of the new woman and her family hence she doesn't deserve an ounce of my affection. Katya wanted her gone, she told me she could take care of the triplets which I accepted. However, after discussing it with Odeya, the emotions that came out of her were overwhelming. She sounded hurt and weak. It was different from the pain of motherhood. A lot different from what I expected to get from her. It got to me, surprisingly. It brought out the kind of emotion I never wanted to show toward this woman. I was going to go out of her chamber, back to mine w
ODEYAThe whole of me needed the distraction, I needed to focus on something that wasn't the guilt of Ameerah’s death. One of the guards told me Katya went to see Ameerah right before she killed herself, Katya must have said something that triggered Ameerah. I couldn't bring myself to go to Katya. I didn't want to hear the dirty words that would come out of her mouth. The best I could do for myself was distraction. I couldn't even be there for her burial, Nathan was the one that buried Ameerah. According to the law of the pack, offenders are meant to be fed to the wild animals but Nathan insisted on burying her. Being the beta it was easy for him. While I visited my parents with the kids. Mom and Dad haven't stopped their love, they loved each other to the fullest and I am happy they didn't lose that. Despite that, my dad hasn't been able to get a doctor to attend to him. This was all because of me because I am a shame to them which caused my father to lose his position as the pack
