Carmen'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

The journey back from the veil was excruciatingly silent, everyone had their minds occupied with their own secrets.As I rode the bus back, Carmen was seated at the back, her attention was on the children who were bloody and smelly.Honestly, those bloody children did terrify me a little bit. When we came to get them, the entire road leading up to the peonies garden was painted in red,... in blood.Body parts were thrown around everywhere. Screams came from men who were strong enough to kill these children immediately, unfortunately, the water did something to the men.They lay there, hopelessly as the sickle of death came and claimed their lives.Silver sat down beside me, his hands playing with the pocket watch he stole from Vera.“Silver, you wanted to tell me a story before all of this happened? Can you tell me now?” I recalled the conversation I had with Silver before this entire issue with Carmen happened.Charlie, who had been pretending to be invisible by the corner, peeked ou

Cayden's povThe full moon had not completely risen yet, but the pressure in the air was already suffocating.The disaster a cryptic baby would cause could not be seen by the prying eyes of the humans. However, going back to the realm was not a very safe option either.All eyes were on me and if they detected traces of a cryptic baby, Carmen would be in far more danger than we can handle.“I know a witch who can help us? She forms portals and transports us wherever we want. I think this would not be something difficult for her to do?” Carmen said to me. Her face was already pale, which was clearly the effect of the moon was not small.“Me too, I can help you out. The place I was sealed in, I can teleport you both there. Apart from it being completely dark and lifeless, it can suit all your needs.” I looked at her, she had the right to make her decisions. “Carmen?”“Silver, how fast can you take me to that place? Cayden, I have contacted the person, so you should stay here and wait fo

Carmen's povWhen I woke up, the first thing I noticed was warmth. Not mine but someone else's.My lashes fluttered open slowly, my vision blurry at first before finally settling on the figure sitting beside the bed.Cayden.His head rested lazily against the edge of the mattress while one hand held a damp towel.He looked terrible.His hair completely disheveled like he had been dragging his fingers through it repeatedly, and dark circles rested beneath his eyes heavily.Even his clothes looked wrinkled. The great terrifying Alpha of Nightshade currently looked like someone who had lost a fight against exhaustion.Strangely though, it was cute.The thought startled me immediately because what did I mean by cute? Had near death damaged my brain?Cayden seemed unaware I was awake as he continued wiping my arms carefully with the towel.His movements were surprisingly gentle, so careful my chest tightened slightly watching him.Then his hand moved lower. Towards my stomach. The moment h

Silas' povThe meeting ended in complete futility again. I could not reach Carmen and the elders.The elders kept talking in circles while beautifully avoiding the part that had to do with them bringing up their resources.Jake suggested praying to the moon goddess.Another old fool actually suggested abandoning part of the territory entirely.One even wanted the entire part to immigrate to the human world and merge with humans for a while.Like, what was wrong with these people?Cowards.Not one of them had an actual solution and Carmen was still nowhere to be found. That part irritated me more than I cared to admit.Not because I loved her or missed her, never!However, I could not accept things leaving my control and that included Carmen!I sat at the head of the tables, the elders still arguing, not to me but at each other.No, I wanted to lose more during these hard times, no one wanted to suffer. Their voices sounded distant as I turned off my hearing.The situation was worsenin
