Selene’s POV
He left the hospital after I closed my eyes and told him I wanted to rest and be left alone. He cared for me and gave me a

I didn’t care. My emotions and feelings were shut at that moment, and the only thing I wanted was a world on my own. I badly wanted to be left alone and deserted by people. That alone seemed to be my craving because the more I mingle with people, the more I was hurt.
Thinking about how my life has been since my mother died really shreds my heart and makes me feel sick to the s
stomach. I can’t just understand what was going on and why I couldn’t get the life I dreamed of for myself, even when it kept seeming like it was getting bett
For real, I didn’t want to believe I was cursed, but at the moment, I was totally convinced. My life was built on the bedrock of pain, and I was definitely going to keep facing it because I depend on people for my survival while they end up falling into my hands.
Te other girls could stand up for themselves at this age, I was living my life timid and hopeless, waiting for help from
and when they failed, I got crushed. My father and my mate, King Lucian, had all abandoned me and moved on with their lives. It was now the turn of the vampire prince.
Maybe this time I was going to get killed and not have another chance to move to another kingdom and find another man.
My life stinks, and the more I brood over it, the more I feel like stabbing myself to death. What was holding my wolf? What was holding my mating features from blooming since I lost my first mate?
As I lay on the bed, I only wished for one thing: to become strong and learn to stay on my own. I want to leave this kingdom, seek asylum in a faraway pack, and then build my life from scratch by myself. I don’t want to hope on someone only for them to trash me in the end.
This was my dream, but it ends up in my head because the strength is nowhere to be found. I am more like a human than werewolf, and it hurts. It makes me a pawn and vulnerable in front of anyone.
NoTears rolled down both of my cheeks, sideways to the bed as I hissed and took a deep breath, shutting my eyes like I would shut away my sorrows alongside.
The door creaked at that moment, and a silent hiss slipped my lips on the thought that it would be Liam coming back to check if I was done resting, as I told him earlier. I really know he might actually love me and have good intentions for me, but all it does is remind me of Lucian.
They both did the same thing, and the end was that. I mean, can he still stand by me when troubles arise from both his family and kingdom members? He even has a girlfriend that his parents are backing, and I was brought in here with the lie that I was his s l a v e.
He might promise to make it open and tell the truth to his parents, but what would it change? They will reject it and be totally against it, especially as I am a nobody, so weak and wolfless. I was the Alpha’s daughter, but nothing can prove that There is nothing to show as evidence.
It just hurts me, and it hurts more that there was nothing I could do to change this predicament of mine.
I opened my eyes to see who it was. I was still thinking it wwasliam, but since he hadn’t said anything, I decided to open my eyes and ask him why he was here, but to my surprise, I saw a doctor. Dressed in his white coat, his eyes pecked on the bridge of his nose as he stared at me-not actually at my face but at my stomach-
May
Good evening. I greeted her, unsure if it was really evening or afternoon. I just said anything that came to mind. He didn’t reply but looked up at my face with a questioning look.
The vampire prince brought you here, and I heard you’re his s e x t o y, huh?” He frowned deeply, as if the words he spoke. were sour on his lips.
I nodded
“Is there any problem?” I asked in a low tone, as I don’t even have the strength to talk. I was just so curious about why this doctor is acting weird and giving my stomach a strange look.
“For how long have you both known each other? And is he truly treating you as a common s e x t o y, just like every other werewolf here! I need nothing but the truth from you.” He said it sternly, walking closer as if he would beat me if I tried to le
“Why are you asking me all those questions? Is it actually your concern, whatever way he treats me? Does that have to do with my treatment? Aren’t you a doctor, or did they assign something else to you aside from that?” I asked with a mean tone, peering at his face.
He scoffed, readjusted his glasses, and dipped both hands inside his coat pockets before moving to and fro like he was contemplating something.
have balls. That courage to actually talk back and question me is never seen in people like you who are in this pack. That answers my question automatically, but I’m scared of the mistake he just made. It will bring nothing but disaster to our kingdom. What did you do to him? How could you, in a small moment, make him fall so deeply in love with you that he deemed you deserving to have his child?” He finally spilled, and Labruptly sat up in a rush, ignoring whatever pain I felt.
My jaw slacked, and my eyes popped as I stared at the doctor like he had grown two heads. I was trying to see him smile cheesily and tell me it was a prank, but it didn’t happen. He was dead serious with what he just uttered.
“Am 1 pregnant?” I breathed, trying to control the fast pace of my heart as sweat covered my forehead.

“Yes, but it’s my duty to remove it. Our future king can’t have you as a wife and mother to his child. There is no way like you will be the queen of our kingdom, no matter how you try with your charm and s t u p i d trick, b i t c h!” He snorted, hatred evident in his eyes as he glared at me.
1 shook my
head, not knowing how to feel to hear that I didn’t lose Lucian’s baby. It was still there. It survived death.
Liam and I hadn’t touched each other or even slept on the same bed, even though we shared the same room. He had promised to give me time to consider his request to be with me. There was only one person who could possibly have the child in my stomach.
“The reason I haven’t removed it is that the baby seemed to be almost a month old, and Liam didn’t mention anything like that. Meanwhile, I had heard rumors that you both had known each other for a long time before he finally brought you here. He even sent a letter to the Lycan king to leave you to him.” The doctor added, and I placed my hand on my stomach, rubbing it, unsure of what to feel.
Should I be happy or sad?
Will he even
the vampire pime back when I tell him the baby is still there? Will he believe me, or would he think I had come with
the vampire’s child to claim it was his since we both saw the hospital lab test clearly stating that I had lost the baby?
But why would the doctor lie to me? And what caused that blood? It happened at the perfect time to make Lucian believe I was the one who killed the baby.
I was really confused.
“The baby isn’t for Liam. It is for the Lycan king. Liam and I hadn’t touched each other, which he can confirm.” I muttered

in hopelessness as I thought of asking him to actually go on and kill the baby. Even if Lucian accepts me back, it will only be because of the baby and not love.
He will accept me out of pity, just so I’ll bore the baby safely while he goes on with the woman he chooses over me. Ria is his love now, and I was very sure he had forgotten. Why won’t he? Our mate bond, which was one-sided and less strong, can’t hold him from being with someone of his own kind and a girl he had been close to since childhood.
*Really? Lucian has his baby in you and still sent you away. I’m confused. Or you dumped him for our prince while having his baby unknowingly?” He frowned, and I took my time to tell him about the fake lab test because of blood flow.
It was then that he told me about a new poison that was capable of causing that. Someone secretly gave it to me.
“So what do you wish to do? I can see without any doubt that Liam likes you. It will break his heart to hear that you are pregnant. I know I hate you, but our prince likes you, so I don’t even know what to feel towards you. Can we remove the child “He sighed, and I looked at him weirdly.
“Why?”
“To protect Liam’s feelings. If you truly love him, you will”
at love him!” I stated it bluntly, leaving him surprised.
“Key?”
“Yes. I don’t love him. Maybe I just like and appreciate him for sparing my life, but he would love to make me remove Lucian’s child. No, and never. It doesn’t exist inside me.” I retorted.
“You still love Lucian.”
*Lucian is my mate, and yes, I love him sadly. I will love it if you just discharge me and let me go.”
“To where? You can’t cross borders without Liam’s permission, and even walking on the road alone is dangerous and deadly. You can easily get stoned to death.” He gave advice, sounding caring. The middle-aged man was now acting like he cared if 1 died or lived.
“That should even make you happy that I will die better stop because he is going to be married soon and the woman is not me. His fiance and someone he had already beent engaged to. I am nothing to him.”I blurted, and he sighed and then nodded.
3. Or don’t you hate me again? If you’re acting this way because of Liam,
“Well, no matter what, I wish to help. I don’t know what Liam’s reaction will be to your pregnancy, and the bump is now obvious. He hadn’t looked at you properly to see it. When he hears it’s Liam’s child you brought here with you, he might spark like a rage of fire and do something he will regret.”
“If he kills me, 11l be forever grateful to him. My life has no meaning”
