‘Are you feeling fine now?” Janet asked, sitting beside me after she had returned. I am, but I guessTheo is upset that I couldn’t go through with the training,” I said to her, watching Theo from afar, whowas walking in the garden and having a deep conversation with Maynard and Lazio. It seemed like theydidn’t want anybody else to jointhem.
“He has every right to be worried. When I went there, even I was confused if I should submit the papersor not,” Janet sighed, making me understand why waking up Nia is the most important goal right now.
’I also want to talk about the girl staying in the guestroom.” Janet gently patted my shoulder to get myattention back to her.novelbin
‘Valerie? How is she?” I asked her, feeling bad because she deserved to enjoy her first pregnancy.
‘She is not eating anything. I feel so bad for her. But then again, she should have been wiser and nottrusted his words when he told her he was leaving you soon. Just look at him, he is wandering aroundlike he didn’t do anything wrong and she is taking all the pressure alone,” Janet was not wrong. Lazioneeded to speak to her.
‘I will go check on her,’ I said, getting up from the seat and gesturing for the maid to prepare a food trayfor me. Since I no longer felt any type of way about Lazio, I wasn’t jealous at all. She was his one truemate, and he was mistreating her for me.
After grabbing the tray, I knocked on the door and entered the room to find her sitting by the window intears.
‘I heard you haven’t eaten anything,” I said, sitting beside her and offering her food. She broke me aweak smile before she shook her head and refused to eat anything.
‘You are not only starving yourself but your baby as well,” I told her, watching her tear up.
“But what do I do? It is not like I am not responsible for my condition. He told me we would need tokeep our relationship a secret, and I listened to him. He told me not to tell anyone that we were fatedmates and I did that too. I willingly made a fool out of myself, and now I have a life growing inside mewhose father doesn’t even want to do anything with the baby. I am devastated and I feel like it is mykarma,” she started laughing hysterically, “I feel caged again, Enya. I was so desperate to be with myfated mate that I didn’t even realize how much I was hurting another she-wolf. I cannot give enoughexplanations because none of them will make me the victim. I did wrong, and I am facing my karmanow.” She was sobbing and talking with much difficulty. It broke my heart to see her like that.
She was pregnant and under so much stress.
“I cannot go back in time and stop myself from being a bitch, but what I can do is beg for yourforgiveness,” she said instantly, getting up from her spot and sitting on my knees, making me jump andpull away from her.
“Hey! No! don’t do that,” I complained, grabbing her by her hands and making her stand up from myfeet.
‘Please forgive me!” she begged again once she was on her feet.
‘You didn’t do it alone. I was mad at you in the beginning, but trust me, now I am just okay withwhatever happened. It helped me move on from him. What happened, happened in the past? If myforgiveness is all you need, then I am forgiving you, Valerie!” I gently hugged her, and she hugged meback tightly. No wonder everybody likes you. You are very kind and generous.” Valerie said, afterpulling away from me. That’s when I heard a guard informing the others outside that alpha king Corbinhas arrived.
I knew he had heard about the papers and was probably here to talk about them. I left Valerie in theroom and rushed outside to see what he wanted from us now. He was standing in the garden with theothers, holding some papers.
‘Ah! Here comes the Alpha Queen!” he joked, waving the papers and laughing his ass off. Maynard andLazio had to hold Theo’s hand to pull him back and keep him from attacking Corbin.
I thought I was up against the great Lycan,” Corbin laughed, shaking his head at us.
‘But I come to find out I am fighting this little human girl. I didn’t know you guys wanted her dead sobad.” He wrapped his arm around his belly and started chuckling again.
‘Anyway, the match is fixed. In 10 days, we will meet in the public square and compete for the crown,”he announced. I was on my way to leave when he stopped for only a few seconds to look me in the eyeand say, “Oh, my goodness! I cannot wait to break your fragile bones and dig a grave for you with myown fucking hands,” he muttered, his eyes yelling how badly he wanted me dead.
He rushed past me to the exit while we stayed in our spots cluelessly. Only todays!
I could either get a wolf or train in these few days.
‘We have to find the missing people,” Theo mumbled under his breath, “Lazio, Maynard,
Enya! we are headed to the woods,” he said out of the blue. I noticed the way Lazio and
Maynard looked his way and nodded; it was a clear indication that they were all onto something, butthey were keeping it from me.
It was only then that I felt like I needed to speak to Lazio about Valerie one last time.
The only way for Lazio to understand he had no chance with me was to reject him, and I was going todo that before I headed to the woods.
