Chapter 188

Chapter 188:

Now I’ve lost him. I’ve lost the father of my child, and I’ve lost my home.

Damon now believes that Ray is the father of my child. I let out an agonizing cry, ignoring the consequences of my actions. The pain was overwhelming.

I didn’t care if my voice attracted the attention of predators. I didn’t care what happened to me. I hated myself.

I missed Damon desperately. I longed to be in his arms again, to reassure him that he was the father of my child. Why was my happiness always so short-lived? Why did something always tear us apart, ending the feelings he had for me?

I could almost swear that Rosa had a hand in my current predicament, but there was no evidence. I couldn’t accuse her without proof. Or perhaps it was fate.

If I didn’t die in the castle, I would die in the woods.

But then, a new feeling overtook me, one that filled me with newfound confidence. I didn’t care about my situation anymore. I would take care of my little prince and give him the world.

I didn’t care if his father rejected us and cast us aside like garbage. I would be an amazing mother to him.

With tears in my eyes, I hugged my belly, blowing a kiss to it.

Just as I was about to continue my journey, a thought suddenly struck me.

My eyes widened in shock at the realization.

What if I went to my parents’ pack? What if this was the opportunity I had been waiting for? Since Damon had banished me from the castle, I was no longer his property, and that could only mean one thing… freedom!

I couldn’t wait to be embraced by my parents, to be treated like family again.

My stomach fluttered with excitement as I made my way into the night, quickening my steps. Once I reached the tarred road, I would ask for directions to my parents’ pack.

I was about to take a left turn when something clamped around my legs, tightening its grip.

Frozen in fear, I screamed, struggling to pull my legs free from the trap as I fell to the wet ground.

The more I tried to free myself, the more it felt like my leg might rip from the force of the trap’s grip.

Fear consumed me as a net-like object suddenly fell from above, covering my body. It didn’t take long before I realized I was trapped.

Today’s work was hectic. I lay on the bed, exhausted, with my eyes partly closed, gazing at the moon as it shone in all her glory.

It was strange. The moon had never been so bright in the dead of the night, especially not at 3:42 AM.

I felt a lift in my spirit… excitement about something, but I couldn’t quite place my finger on it.

Deep down, I knew this night would be different from all the others. I didn’t know why I had that conviction, but I couldn’t shake the feeling.

“The moon is so beautiful, Dax,” I blurted out, mesmerized by the beauty before me.
