Chapter 5
“Again with your stupid accusations! Its nothing like that!”
“Then what is it? You and Theodore both
came by car today, why does it have to be explicitly you to drop her off?”
A flicker of irritation crossed his face, and he sighed heavily. “Mia, are you again being jealous of Vanessa? How many times do I have to explain it to you that I only see her as my sister!”
“She’s completely alone here, separated from mate and raising a child on her own. How can you not feel sympathy for her?” he continued, regaining his composure. “She is
Chapter 5
my childhood friend and I cannot leave her suffering like that.”
“If she is really separated then why would she want to amalgamate our two packs together? Does she not know how much trouble it can cause you?” I stepped away from Xavier, not liking the way he held onto me when he was clearly worried about another woman more than his wife.
Xavier looked annoyed before he tried to console me.” You should just sit at home and do what you are best at! When our two packs will be joined, our territory will expand. We will get a major advantage in this.”
Xavier stepped forward kissing my forehead gently to coax me to leave as he held my
Chapter 5
hand. “Don’t overthink it mia. You‘ re going to be a mother. If you keep being so jealous, how would you raise our child?” I smiled at that before looking at my husband of three years who was not even aware that i lost my child due to his negligence.
“But wasn’t it you who talked among your friends who said that since I am an orphan, I would not know how to raise a baby and Vanessa must help me.” Xavier felt a bucket of ice cold water was poured over him as his eyes widened.
“Are you spying on me? this is a
misunderstanding, I was heavily drunk that day… I didn’t know what I was saying. I didn’t mean it like that.”

I opened my mouth to respond, but just then, Xavier‘ s phone rang with Victoria’s caller ID flashing on the screen.
Xavier hesitated before I asked him to pick up the phone. The moment he answered, a child responded from the other end, cheerfully greeting him. “Daddy,I miss you a lot! When are you going to come and play with me and mommy? When are you both coming back?”
Horrified that I had heard the entire
conversation, Xavier paled before gently answering.
“Mark, you can call me uncle.”
“Why? Mommy told me that I could call you dad.” taken aback by the child’s response Xavier quickly answered him before hanging

up.
“Your mother is here with me, we will come back soon.”
“Mia” I looked at my mate, too tired for more explanations.
With dead eyes, I nodded at him. “You can do whatever you feel like.” with that I turned around, trying to move away only for Xavier to embrace me from behind.
“You just need to learn how to adapt. I can not indulge you always but from now on I will be present taking care of our baby.”
He leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss on my cheek.
I was not even home yet when Xavier’s friend
Chapter 5
Theodore messaged me.
[Sister–in–law, Vanessa is really sick so Xavier would not be home tomorrow.]
Xavier was actually organizing a grand banquet welcoming Vanessa’s pack tomorrow but since I was not in favor of combining our packs together it looked like my husband did not wished for me to come.
While reading the text I could not help but tremble as I felt so miserable.
With teary eyes I opened my social media to find an update from Vanessa: “Shopping for tomorrow’s party, trying hard to select a twinning suit for both of my men.” The photo displayed my husband holding
Vanessa’s son in his arms, while the so–called
Chapter 5
best friend leaned on him.
“Madam, lower your head!” My tears were abruptly stopped when the driver screamed terrified and, as soon as I looked up I saw our car right in front of a truck, the driver quickly turned the steering wheel but it was already too late as our car collided with brutal force turning upside down.
“Mom…Dad…elder brother.” With tears in my eyes I recalled snippets of my past as the memory played again and again like a broken record.
I was faintly aware of the blood dripping down my shoulder as I dialed my father’s number on the verge of passing out, his voice was the last thing I wished to hear before my
Chapter 5
death.
He picked up on the very first ring, his voice stern but somewhat filled with concern.
“What is it Mia? How is it that you remember your father now-

“D–Dad…” I breathed heavily, barely able to spit out what I always wished to say. “Mia! Where are you?! what is happening?!”
“Dad, I a–am s–so…ugh…s–sorry to disa- appoint y–you and mom. I love you all….” with that the phone slipped past my hands as I accepted death calmly, not even once
thinking about the people who had made my life so miserable.
“Mia! Mia! Damnit! Where are you, my
