KARA
I tried my best to stifle my sobs, so as not to give myself away, but from where I stood, I could hear their passionate grunting loud and clear.
I could hear Fenris’ voice, telling Kimberly that he loved her, that she was beautiful, perfect. Words he never told me. The few times Fenris had made love to me, he had been so rough, scaring me, and mocking my I experience. He had said no man would endure to sleep with a bag of filth like me.
I remembered the first time he had seen me naked, he had grimaced, grabbed me roughly, and then told me I shouldn’t ever be deceived into thinking I was beautiful.
I did not care about being beautiful, I had just wanted to be loved.
Now, the same cold hearted Fenris was making passionate love to another woman, telling her she was beautiful.
I drew in a breath and decided to focus on the task, on the main reason I was here – to steal back my son, and run away.
Escaping the dungeon had been a lot more easy than I had thought it would be, the midwife had helped me escape. What puzzled me was that when I told her I was sorry that I did not have money to pay her for helping me birth my children, she simply said the man who had called her already paid her.
I had asked the midwife to describe the man, but from her description, I had never met that man before. I vaguely remembered that there had been a authoritative man’s voice that had saved me from the stoning, he had commanded someone get a midwife, but I really could not understand who that man was!
Putting thoughts of the mysterious man from my mind, I placed my sleeping daughter in a cot, some paces away from. The window, and bent very low, till the slightly over grown bushed scratched my belly. Walking stealthy, I made my way to the back door. Thankfully, it was open, I slipped inside. Now, I only had to find where they had kept my son.
Zulu and Zala. I had to name my own son in his absence, but all that would soon be a thing of the past, I would soon reunite with my son.
I straightened up, and my belly clenched in fear, as I found myself staring straight at Kimberly.
She smirked evilly, then raised her voice and called out, “Sweetheart, Fenris,”
I froze in fear, mouthing a silent plea to her. I knew that if Fenris should come out and see me sneaking into his house, nothing would stop him from killing me.
My breath caught in my throat as Fenris answered. “Yes baby… come back to bed.”
“Please Kimberly,” I begged. “Please don’t do this.”
“Of course I’m coming back to bed Fenris,” she replied with a smirk, her voice dripping with the sultriness of a woman who had just made wild love. She turned to me then, a the smirk still on her face as she looked me up and down. “I just need to handle something first.”
“Do you need me to help you?” Came Fenris question again.
Kimberly smiled cruelly, and watched me as I pleaded. “I don’t know Kara, does Fenris need to help me kick you out of my matrimonial home? Oh – I don’t really think he would kick you out,” she put one finger on her chin in mock thoughtfulness. “I think he’d tear you to shreds – in fact, let me call him to do just that – Fenris!”
“Please Kim! You don’t have to do this,” I cried frantically, and she laughed.
“The tell me why you sneaked into I and my mates house?” She demanded.
“I’m so sorry, it would not happen again,” I cried ignoring the painful thought that this once used to be I and my own mates house.
“If you don’t answer me, I’m calling Fenris,” she said at the same time Fenris said “Kim should I come and help you?”
“No… no.. Please don’t call him,” I stammered. “The reason I sneaked in was because I wanted to get my baby Zulu, surely Fenris can find another way of getting his heir.”
“King,” she said with a smirk. “It was I who named him. King, his name is King not Zulu – what kind of stupid name is that anyway?”
I swallowed, pain and hurt stabbing through my heart. Another woman had named my own child, a child I had carried in my belly for eight months, suffered being called ugly by Fenris for it, and birthed in the most painful condition. I was at her mercy though, so I could not afford to antagonize her.
“Please, let me take King,” I whispered through the pain that choked me.
She crossed her arms across her breasts, and stared at me for a while, a cruel smile playing on her lips. “His dead.”
“What?” I couldn’t have heard her right. No. My precious baby wasn’t dead, this could not be true.
Kimberly rolled her eyes. “You were right I guess, he was too young for baby food. After feeding him, he just started wheezing like a stupid cat, and then, he died.”
I felt a sharp stab of pain shoot through my heart, and I sank to the floor in despair, staring out, but seeing nothing. My son was dead. Zulu was dead, and all because negligent people had taken him away from his own mother.
“You b***h!” I said with all the hatred and anger in my heart, getting up on my feet, and launching myself at her, kicking and scratching, with my eyes telling her how much I hated her.
Kim easily grabbed my hands, twisting it behind my back till I broke down in pain. She was a beta, and coupled with the fact that I was an omega, I was still weak from childbirth.
She bent her moth to my ear, as I struggled not to pass out from pain, her voice was an angry hiss. “I should not show you any kindness because you wickedly kept me away from the man I want by refusing to reject him, but I will. I will not call out to Fenris to come and catch you here. Do you know what he would do to you for daring to lay your hands on me? He would skin you alive!
However, because I am the opposite of you, let me give you a chance. I heard a baby crying outside – that’s probably your daughter. Take her, and flee this pack and never return, and do that immediately before I change my mind and tell Fenris to take your daughter as well.”
She let me go then, and I crumpled to the floor in pain.
Kicking me for good measure, in my soft belly that was still healing from childbirth, she suddenly transformed her voice back to sultry sweetness. “I’m coming back to bed Fenris, the mess has been successfully handled.”
I forced myself to get on my feet. I needed to be strong, I needed to hold it together for my daughter Zala. Kimberly was right about one thing, I still had Zala to live for. She was however very wrong about another thing, I would run away, but I would return.
I would return and have my vengeance on Fenris, Kimberly, and everyone that broke me, even if it costs me my life..
