THE LYCAN KING’S BREEDER

Chapter 3

Crystal pov

I stopped myself from going towards her direction instead I went to the house bar and shut the door angrily.

I sat on the chair tiredly and opened a bottle of wine. I knew it was not the right thing to take because of my present condition but I had no other choice, I needed something to calm myself.

After gulping and glass I sighed and poured another in the glass.

I still can't believe Ria was doing this to me, she is the only one I trusted, I could have sworn she won't do this to me.

While I was in the bar I heard the four open. I thought it was Lyon so I stood up to go to him. Maybe we can finally have the conversation but shockingly it was Ria. I hid somewhere so she wouldn't see me.

I overheard her conversation on the phone and surprisingly I felt relieved to hear her day that there was no baby and she was only trying to trap Lyon with the fake pregnancy.

It felt like a food news to me, I became hopeful instantly.

When she was done with the call she walked out of the bar and I followed behind her immediately.

“Ria.” I called her and she stopped on her tracks. She opened her eyes wider than normal when Ste saw where I was coming out from. I walked closer to her and I could tell she was scared.

“Why are you here to ruin my marriage and everything that I have tried to keep together over the years?” I asked her angrily.

“What are you talking about? You should be thanking me, how can you be so ungrateful?” Ria said to me still seeing no wrong in what she has done.

“Ria you ruined my family, and you still have the guts to lie about being pregnant, you're such an unspeakable person.” I said to her angrily.

Suddenly Ria sat on the floor and started pretending to be in pain, I was lost standing in front of her, we were talking just now and she suddenly started acting strange.

“Ria.” Lyon rushed to raise her up. He looked at me angrily. His eyes were cold, or it was clearer to me that there was no sign of love anymore.

“Stay away from Ria, you should be grateful to her Instead of what you're doing now.” Lyon said to me and walked away. I was disappointed in myself for letting her use me like that. I should have known when she sat on the floor that she had something planned already.

I slowly walked back to the room, I moved out of the masters bedroom already and now staying in the guest room. I decided to think if this is worth fighting for, bit I have to think about my baby’s future. What do I tell her when she asks about her father? Or what happens when her schoolmates asked laughing at her do rnof having a father.

I wouldn't want my child to go through such trauma, maybe I should just tell him I'm pregnant.

It was getting dark and I decided to serve dinner. It was time to make peace with the present situation and stop trying to win a lost battle. Everyone was seated at the dinning so I thought it was only right for me to apologize now.

“Uhmm, I don't know if this is the right time, but I think it's only right for me to apologize for creating a scene. I was shocked and didn't know how to react.” Ria looked shocked to hear me apologize and Catherine was also surprised.

“You've done the right thing Crystal.” Catherine said to me.

“I really hope we live peacefully from now on.” I concluded with a huge grin on my face. I wasn't as happy as I made them think. My heart was bleeding, I felt like I was struggling to breath with the fake grin.

After dinner I headed to my room. Few minutes later I heard a knock on the door. I rushed to open the door and I saw Ria standing in front of my room with a basket of apples.

She let out a bright smile and handed the basket of apples to me.

“I know we can't go back to how we used to be, but I want you to know that I'm always going to be here for you.” Even though I didn't trust anything she said to me I collected the basket of apples with a smile on my face.

“Thanks Ria.” I said to her and she walked away. I watched until she was out of sight before I closed the door. She's got guts.

I sat on the bed angrily and dropped the basket of fruits on the floor.

After taking my bath I walked out of the bathroom and sat on the bed, I was finding it hard to sleep so I brought out my favorite novel and picked one apple from the basket, even though I thought it was not a good idea to eat the apple I still thought it's not that bad afterall she can't kill me.

I bit the apple and started reading my novel. Less than thirty minutes after eating the apple I felt like I was dying, my breath was seizing. I struggled to get down from the bed and walked closer to the door while crawling.

I hit the door several times until I was too weak to continue. I can't believe Ria would think of going this far to hurt me.

“My baby.” I mumbled. While I was losing my breath and it opened, I sighted the pool of blood on the floor and I knew there was a possibility my baby was gone. I closed my eyes and prayed to the moon goddess for another chance, I can't die without making them pay for what they put me through.

While I was being rushed to the hospital I kept praying.

I woke up on the bed tiredly, my body hitting like I did some hard labor last night. I opened my eyes widely and sat on the bed. The last thing I remember was being rushed to the hospital. I checked myself very well and pinched myself.

“Ouch.” I realized I wasn't dead, then I remembered the little prayer while I was being rushed to the hospital. Then I realized I was given the second chance I requested.

I stood up from the bed and rushed to check the date. It was the day after Lyon’s birthday. “He's bringing her home today.” I changed into something better and rushed out of the room.

I need to change my fate. The only way to do that is to find the Lycan king. While I was rushing out of the house I could hear Catherine call me back but I pretended not to hear her.

It's been almost three hours and I'm yet to find the Lycan king. I stopped the car on the highway and got out of the car so I could breathe. I was losing my mind slowly.

While struggling to catch my breath someone touched my shoulder, I turned to look at him and our eyes met.

“Who is he?” I asked myself why I was looking him in the eyes.
