CHAPTER THREE
1024 Words
I felt my heart pound as I escaped the dining hall, my thoughts spinning from the surprising turn of events.
Well, that turned out nice. My wolf remarked grinning.
How Nice of you to grace us with your existence.
She rolled her eyes and went to the back of my mind.
The weight of the Lycan King's attention weigh down on me, disturbing my thoughts.
I walked into one of the room in the hallway and sat on the bed, feeling upset and trying to understand why the Lycan king acted that way.
As I lay down on the bed, my back made a contact with something or I should say a pregnancy test kit.
Aren't you curious? My wolf voiced out.
Curious about wh—No, no, no it can't be, it most not be, it's a f*****g one-night stand Averia, he should be smart enough to use protection, oh God! I should be smart enough to request for one, what am I even saying? i–i– don't even know him.
Please, moon goddess, don't put me through this. please help me just this once.
Take a deep breath
Fuck! I'm never drinking again.
I frowned at the kit in my grip, bitting my nails.
5 minutes it reads, more like 5 fu***ing years. I nervously bite my nails, feeling anxious inside.
****
Oh, no! I gaped at the two pink lines with my heart almost out of my chest.
I'm pregnant! TF!
I fled out of the room to the woods.
The rustle of leaves under my feet matched the turmoil in my heart as tears blurred my vision.
Each step seemed like a step towards an unpredictable fate, away from the life I once knew.
I stood by the riverbank my favorite spot, my tears have fully dried up, I'm going to be a mom! I laughed and rubbed my belly.
wow! someone is finally getting a hang of it, I know you would be a great mom, a strong one at that. My wolf retorted to me.
The abrupt noise behind me jolted me back to reality.
“Are you looking for this princess?”
I turned to meet the voice.
The Lycan King! What brings him here?
My breath catching in my throat as I choke at the sight of my lost necklace in his grasp.
His sudden expression pierced through my defenses, the natural question about the jewelry making me speechless.
Exposing our unsaid history struck me hard, the truth of our encounter brethe barriers I had set up around my memories.
I slept with the Lycan king. He was my one-night stand and the father to my pup! Could this get any better?
Sarcasm I like that, my wolf replied, rolling her eyes.
“I do not know what that is, your majesty.”
really Scarlett? are you sure you want to play that with him?
not now Averia!
Denial clung to my words, a lame attempt to shield myself from him and the judgement of the world .
“Arin…princess, not your majesty and I believe this is yours,” he retorted with a smirk.
As his words echoed in the clearing, my world tilted on its axis. The weight of his declaration pushed down on me, realizing his intentions sending a shiver down my spine. The bond he spoke of, forged in a night lost to the cloud of intoxication, loomed over me like a brewing storm.
“I think you have been mistaken, your majesty,
“Am I indeed that awful that you don't recall?” He stated, furrowing his eyebrows.“Well we have enough of years to make you remember,” he declared, smirking.
I think you've got the wro–
He chuckled darkly,” believe me princess, I'm never wrong”.
Princess? What the hell is he on about?
I don't know, but we can find out, my wolf responded.
I'm not keen in finding out.
If you will please spare me your majesty I have to retire to the pack house and my name is not love it's scarlet…your majesty and i appreciate what you did back but i can defend myself " I didn't stick around for his response before I fled back to the pack house.
As I entered the pack house, I could pick up murmurs of contracts and ownership ringing in my ears.
“Why would he want her? She is nobody, a nothing,”
“ She most have charmed the Lycan king“
“I found out she tried seducing our alpha claiming he is her mate, so when she failed she went after the Lycan king,”
“I have constantly seen scarlet is a b***h, always playing the pity card Keal is searching for her, and he looks absolutely furious, he should just kill her and end it all“ another one suggested
They are speaking about me, what has the Lycan king done, oh moon goddess. I ran to my room, which is the storage of the pack house, and sat on the rusty chair.
My boldness strengthened. The need to protect my pup became stronger. If Keal finds out I'm, pregnant he would kill me and my baby, I obviously can't let that happen,
We can't let that happen scarlet, I will destroy anybody who comes close to our pup, Averia growled.
A flicker of hope, fueling my determination to break free. In a flurry of courage.
I gathered my scanty belongings which are a picture of my parents and two blouses and three shorts I arranged them in a small backpack I own and put on a booth, my heart heavy with the weight of the decision I made, I glanced at my room one last time and smiled it has been the place that hid me from keal's anger aside from the woods, it is not much, but it has saved me from a lot.
We will be fine. My wolf spoke.
It's great to feel her not thinking about anyone but our pup.
I looked at the pack house one last time and I ran.
