-Kaden POV-I stared at the now open door and then back at Shantel’s piercing stares, quite unsure of what to do.I didn’t like this at all. And to worsen matters, I was confused as hell and didn’t even know what to say to the witch who now stood watching me like a predator."What just happened, Shantel? Did you have to?" I inquired, raising up my voice to the point that it depicts anger. I was in a state of confusion. I forced myself to sit in my chair, leaving Shantel to stand and watch over me with predatory eyes.I noticed how she eagerly bounced from foot to foot, seemingly happy that she had succeeded in placing me in such a difficult situation.The smirk on her face said it all… she was having a good time."Did I have to do what? For how long are you going to keep deceiving her? Snap out of that dream and face reality, you have a baby now," her lips ran like a running tap.I wanted to strangle her, to kill her off this instant but I held myself. I couldn’t even bring myself to
Kaden's POVI feel uneasy and worried about the whole thing happening. Erik rubbed his jaw and took a seat in front of me, while I was struggling with making a decision, Erik was doing something else.Shantel had already left my office as if she was not giving me any choice. The only thing she wanted was for me to get married to her which was something quite impossible."I see…you got Shantel pregnant," Erik informed me and I let out a sigh."How did you know that?" I asked."The walls have ears, you know. Were you thinking of keeping it a secret? Come on, brother," he teased me. I didn't find what he said funny but I was curious to know what he had to say."If you are here to make fun of my predicament, I will suggest you leave. I need some alone time," I said to him and he chuckled lightly. His eyes went to the bottles of wine resting in the wine wine rack and I squeezed myself. I didn’t want to have to share drinks, especially not with someone like him."Snap out of that. That is
Audrey's POVI patted my hair as the calming breeze blew the trees and they responded, moving their branches and leaves side by side; some of the wild air got into my eyes and mouth but I neglected it.My mind was fuzzy, and so I had gone out to get some fresh air and to clear my head.I still felt quite sad about the whole news flying around the pack, and the thought of it alone made me think about running away.A short gasp escaped my lips when I felt a sharp pain run up my chest: I’d been feeling it for a while now and couldn’t help but wonder if it was due to a heart ache or something else..Shantel's pregnancy meant that King Kaden would get married to her and I still couldn’t believe everything I wanted was going down the drain like this. And to make matters worse, I couldn’t do anything to stop it, aside from sitting and watching this whole experience unravel itself before me.Soon, the marriage between the man I love and another girl will be happening and I would just be a sp
-Kaden POV-The world was spinning in front of me and I could feel my heart palpitating in a way it has never done before. Like a horror movie, everything was playing out as if it was planned before, slow and edgy like there was something bad about to happen.The fact that I still do not know about Audrey’s whereabouts made me sick to the bone.. and angry because now I do not know where to go searching anymore.I searched the whole palace frantically, looking for her and panicking when I still couldn’t find any signs of her anywhere.With new found fear in my heart, I walked over to a few of my employees that had clustered around a spot and yelled over their voices;"Attention, everyone. Listen to what I have to say carefully," I addressed the palace guards and they stood looking at me, paying rapt attention. No one could dare make a noise. If a pin was dropped on the floor, one would hear it.“Audrey is missing! Y’all know who Audrey is right?!” I bellowed and their jumbled up repl
-Audrey's POV-I felt like I was being held down by invisible heavy objects which stopped me from being able to move my body around. My body hurt, and even my head felt as though it was being split into two by some sort of external force.My eyes opened slowly and I gasped when I noticed that I had been clasped with chains, and that those chains led to a spot on the cold cemented floor that I couldn’t see due to how dark it was in here. My body ached fervently and my body shook with cold but there was nothing I could do as I couldn't even lift up my hand. The cold was eating me up slowly. I was freezing. The air coming out from my nostrils were chilling and I needed to do something before I die.The happenings of the previous time I was awake flashed through my memory. I panted heavily as I remembered it. Fear gripped my heart and my eyes widened in horror. This place was terror itself. It was like a graveyard. It was lonely, dark and will make your intestines twist. I developed
-Kaden POV-The environment was tense as I watched as the pack doctor quietly attended to Shantel who was barely breathing as it is. She looked pale, and almost dead but I said nothing as I folded my arms around my chest while my mind wandered around. I didn’t need to say something as negative as that."I found traces of poison in her blood," he revealed and I gasped. “So now it is obvious that she was poisoned…”“And from the test results carried out on her, she was also overdosed with meth,” he added, making me gasp.Who the hell did all these?"Poison and meth? How's that even possible?" I asked. This was too much. How would Shantel decide to take poison? Was she high?“I feel she was overdosed with meth to make her seem high and then the poison…” Adler said and I watched the doctor nod his head slowly. That was probably the way it also stemmed from his results."She had been forcefully made to ingest a poisonous substance which had led to a miscarriage," he added, showing me a p
Audrey's POVThe rumbling of my stomach made me so uncomfortable that I even found it quite difficult to sit upright. Being weak and hungry at the same time is a death sentence. I held my stomach as I groaned in pain. My eyes glanced around the place looking for what to use to suppress the hunger.I was sprawled on the floor, defenseless, hoping that someone would come to my aid. My eyes stung painfully as I struggled to fight back the tears but they still leaked out of my eyes.“Crying won't give me food nor strength” I whispered to myself, wiping off the stray tears that had leaked out of my eye.I didn't have the courage to call upon the moon goddess, I even couldn’t because she had refused to answer me the time I called. Maybe she desires to see me suffer.I was still holding my stomach tight as my intestines twisted painfully as if there were large worms in it that had begun eating up the walls of my stomach.While I laid on the floor, I heard the door open and a young abductor
Audrey's POVIt was still dark in here but I knew that hours had fleeted past. I laid still on the cold floor with my eyes partly opened, just in case something was about to happen to me.My stomach growled in protest as well as hunger set in and I couldn’t help but feel regret at the fact that I had refused to eat the food that I had been given earlier.I was confused as to what to do or how to get myself out of here. Everything felt bleak and even my mind was so blank, I couldn’t make out anything.My eyes caught sight of the food I had discarded earlier and held. At first I wanted to look away from it but my starved stomach wouldn't let me make such a rash decision. Reaching towards the now stale food that had been discarded beside me, I took some of it and pushed it into my hand.The foul smell from the food made me close my nose with my other hand. I pushed the food down my throat as I didn't have any other choice, whilst making sure that my teeth didn't touch the food. The sm
