“So, you’re really Rose’s father?” Reva asked to clear her confusion.
“Yes. Her name is Roselet Sophia Haysbert, daughter of Calvin Logan Haysbert.” Calvin cleared her doubt.
“Then why did she call Ethlyn as ‘Mommy’?” Reva asked again.
“Isn’t it obvious, Reva?” Zordan replied, pulling the floor under Ethlyn’s feet.
“That’s not true. My pup died years back, and my parents didn’t lie about that.” Ethlyn defended her parents, not agreeing with what Zordan said.
Calvin chuckled, shaking his head. “Really? So, much trust in that parent who got rid of Rose when you were in a Coma.” he taunted. “Anyway, keep thinking that way. I don’t want to break the perfect image of your parents in your mind,” he added and stood up on his feet.
“I apologize on behalf of my Princess, Alpha Nathan. She shouldn’t have hidden the rings and ruined your evening.” Calvin said. “But please forgive her thinking of her as a pup. I don’t know what she was thinking then.”
“It’s okay, Alpha Calvin,” Nathan said. Well, what else could he say at that moment rather than accepting his apology? He observed Calvin mind linking someone, and after a while, he spoke.
“Rose said to Lemi that she hid the rings in the bedroom of Mr. and Mrs. Smith under the pillow. Can you please check?” Calvin asked so that he could bring his love from this allegation. Reva left from there to check the rings that Roselet informed, and she found both rings over there.
“I’m sorry again for all the mess again. After visiting the cemetery of your pack and meeting my other pup, who is not between me. We all will be leaving tonight now.” Hearing this, Reva looked at Zordan in concern. She didn’t want him to leave.
“You can stay here tonig….” Nathan tried to
“I can’t stay here an hour more. So, please don’t ask me to stay.” Saying this, Calvin walked out of there, not even looking at Ethlyn, who was in a dilemma as a lot of things were going on in her mind.
“Ethlyn!! Come on, Princess! Let’s resume the engagement.” Abigail said, to which Ethlyn just looked at her without saying anything. No, Abigail didn’t suggest taking her to the hospital because, by that time, her wolf had already healed her mouth injury, but she couldn’t fix the canine teeth that came out of her mouth. “Ethlyn!! Why are you looking at me like this, Princess?”
“Did I give birth to twins, Mom?”
“Seriously, are you believing that womanizer’s words? Who is naming his pup with someone else as yours!!! If that pup would have been yours, then wouldn’t she be smelling like you, huh?”
“Yes!! You gave birth to twins, Ethlyn.” Christian finally decided to tell her the truth that she deserved. “Your firstborn pup was Christian, who is not between, and your other pup was a girl. And she is none other than Rose.” Her father added and then started narrating everything from the beginning to till now. Ethlyn stood up on her feet while hearing this.
She recalled how Roselet had called her ‘Mommy’ when she caught her. That was because she was indeed her mommy.
“What rubbish, Christ? Why are you filling nonsense in our daughter’s mind?” Abigail scolded her mate for telling the whole truth to Ethlyn. “Ethlyn, listen to me, princess….” She held Ethlyn’s shoulder to talk with her.
But Ethlyn jerked her hand away and slapped her as tightly as she could.
SLAAPPPPP!!!
Reva gasped, jumping a little back, feeling scared and shocked at what had just happened.
“My… my princess slapped me?” Abigail stated, more like she asked in shock. “My princess?”
“No.” Ethlyn shook her head. “You were slapped by that mother whose daughter was separated from her just because you wanted to get rid of her. You were slapped by that mother to whom you lied about her daughter’s death.”
Ethlyn raised her hand again; Abigail shut her eyes in fear of getting slapped by her own daughter again, but pushing her away, Ethlyn punched her fist into the wall behind her. She started punching her hand on the wall repeatedly.
“Ethlyn!!” She slowed her hand not to disturb her.
“Cinder, don’t heal this injury,” Ethlyn said and kept hitting her hand on the wall until Abigail came in front of the wall.
“If you’re mad at me, then hit me. Don’t hurt yourself, Princess.” She said, holding Ethlyn’s hand.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“I’m not mad at you, Mom. I’m mad at the daughter who raised her hand on her mother.” Ethlyn said, and a lone tear escaped from her eyes.
“Ethlyn..” Abigail whispered, seeing Ethlyn in so much pain. Ethlyn’s tight slap was ringing in her ear. She was not mad at her for slapping her, but she wasn’t able to measure the limit that she crossed, because of which her daughter had to raise her hand at her mother.
Ethlyn snatched her hand from her grip and was about to walk out when her eyes landed on Nathan. She reached near him and spoke.
“I’m sorry, Nathan. I don’t want you in my life again.” She spoke and then looked at her Ex-mother in law. “I’m sorry.” She started, leaving from there when she heard Saisha’s words.
“You’re leaving my son for that Alpha.”
Ethlyn turned her head before replying. “No, Aunt Saisha. Your son had asked me to go near the father of my pup back then.” She turned around and started leaving again.
“Ethl…”, Saisha was about to stop her again when Nathan held her wrist.
