I endured until I was in the safety of my home. Antonio's guard dogs finally left.


Sighing, I dropped my bag to the floor and sank into my favorite chair. Taking the poison with me was a last minute decision and it had saved my life.

Antonio was being generous, letting me walk away. This was his way of showing that he cared about how I felt concerning Amelia's death. His way of allowing me grief.

'Amelia…" I clutched my sides violently, rocking forward and backward.


My chest hurts, tears rolled down my eyes. I let them.

'Why? What were you thinking?!"


Was it worth it? Whatever Antonio promised you my dear daughter, was it worth losing your live?

My wolf hummed gently, trying to comfort me. My mind wandered to the first time I realized I was pregnant…

‘Antonio no, I don't want to' I said pushing his hands away from my laps.

‘You don't want to or you want me to force you you enjoy that.'

We were in our pack, Silver Quin Pack. Born and raised in the pack, we literally grew up together and were friends that turned to mates.

I was so happy then. So happy and foolishly naive.

The first time Antonio hit me, it was during sex.

‘Antonio…' I gasped, looking at him in shock.

'Sorry, I just like the mixture of pain and pleasure. Don't worry you'll like it' he had said.

Liar…he didn't want the pain, he just loved to inflict it.

I couldn't say anything to anyone. Who would believe me?

After all, he treated me well outside and inside. Our mating was envied and he derived joy from the fact that I was his.

I did…I still do. No one else can give him what he wants apart from me.

‘I don't feel so good Antonio. What if I get sick when we're doing it?'

He sighed and caressed my cheek, ‘Fine…do you want to see the healer?'

‘Maybe tomorrow? I can be just stress right now. If I still feel like this tomorrow, I'll go.'

‘Anything you want love.'

I smiled and leaned on him.

I did learn to enjoy his depravity but I was still conscious. Things were really good between us after I adapted but sometimes, I'll remember that what we were doing wasn't normal.

Some days, I had to wear really long clothes to cover the marks and cuts. Lying about having injuries when people smelt the blood.

‘Alright, get up. You've been down for two days, let's go see the healer.'

‘Why can't she come here?'

‘You know she doesn't do home runs.'

I groaned, burying my head under the pillow.

‘Im tired, you'll carry me all the way?'

‘Of course. After this, let's go out of town.'

I raised my head, smiling at him.

‘Yeah.'

We had discovered my powers six months into our relationship. Antonio was really rough with me that day so, I took a walk, letting my legs lead me.

I wandered away from the pack and into the forest. I didn't go too far, the pack was still in my view.

‘Hello…' he had greeted, looking nervous but cute.

‘Hi, are you lost?' I had never seen him in the pack before.

'Not really. My pack is around here

‘Oh cool. So, why did you come to meet me?'

‘I know that you're still young but I'm your mate. My name is Milo.'

I called Antonio immediately through the mind link. It was weird at first but Milo was too easy going and Antonio bullied him into submitting to him.

Apparently, they felt the same way for me except Antonio's feelings were stronger because of the active bond.

Antonio introduced Milo to our bed after a while. His presence made Antonio to treat me better.

After a while, I told Milo what was happening and that he could leave to find his true mate.

He didn't stay long after that.

In order to understand my powers better, we began to take trips out of town. I discovered that sometimes I didn't have to do anything and someone would walk over, declaring themselves as my mate. Sometimes, it worked on men I found attractive but, it never worked on mated people.

Antonio allowed some of them to sleep with me under the condition that he should be present and they should be gentle.

He was the only one allowed to be rough with me and he got worse after they left. I began to crave the presence of my other 'mates". They gave me a break from Antonio's painful pleasure.

Everything was good until.

‘Don't worry, you're not ill, you just have a little pup growing inside you' the healer said after checking my body.

t.

‘The powers of course.'

There wasn't anyone in our pack who didn't know about Antonio's family. Their women were blessed with powers and they used it to protect the town. Sadly, only one female could have the power per time and Antonio's sister the one with the power disappeared.

‘I thought your sister had it.' I layed a hand on my stomach.

‘Of course she does. But, any other female born will have dormant powers. Powers I can take.'

I stepped back, ‘what? What would happen to my baby?'

He frowned like he had never thought about it before.

‘I don't know. Don't worry, if she dies I'll give you another one.'

By the next week, I was on my way to a new pack.

'Amelia…"

I feel asleep on the chair.

I laughed, weary inside. ‘We can't be sure about that yet but I'm happy you're excited.'

He picked me up and spun me around.

‘You don't know how happy I am. I thought I would never have with, well except I soiled my hands.'

I frowned, ‘what are you talking about?'

Antonio gently placed me on my fee


The smile on Antonio's face sent shivers down my spine.

I wasn't worried about who owned the child. It was his. He was the only one that finished inside me.

I was worried about what he'll do with the child.

‘It's a girl' he announced once we reached our house.
