Author POV
His eyes darkened, as he stared at her, with an angry look on his face, as he felt his demon, struggling in anger. As much as he loves his mom alot, questioning him, is what no one should ever do. He hates the fact that he can’t control his demon, even when it comes to his mom.
Meanwhile, his mom sat on the chair, staring at him, with fear written all over her, as she was almost fidgeting on her seat. She regret asking him such question, she regret it, but she just couldn’t help it, seeing him go through so much pains, every single day, it hurts her, seeing the person she love and cherish so much, die slowly in pains, she knew it’s important, finding solution to it, even if it meant him getting angry.
He closed his eyes slowly, trying to calm his demon, but the more he tried, the more it keeps struggling to take over him. His blood boiled in fury, as the atmosphere tensed up, his hair were now almost standing erect in rage, he felt his heart, thumping heavily against his chest, and slowly, the pains came again.
“Son… so.. son…” His mom kept calling him, trying to bring him back. Slowly and fearfully, she reached out her trembling hand, until it was touching his skin, as tears came streaming down her cheeks. Old memories flashed through her head, how sweet this same man was, what went wrong?
FLASHBACK…
Thirty years ago…
Laying on the ground inside the woods, laid a woman, who was screaming in pains, with her legs widened, while a other woman was on her knees, in between her legs.
“Push one more time Rose I’m seeing the baby’s head.” The one, who was on her knees, said, as she patted her vulva with her fingers.
“Argh! Lia I’m going to die. I’m trying here please.” Rose cried out in pains, followed by a loud scream, as she felt the baby’s head out.
“Yes, we’re there, just one more push, and he’ll be out.” Lia said, as she held the baby’s head, and started pulling him out of Rose’s vulva slowly and carefully.
“Pull it out already Lia, I’m in pains.” Rose cried out again, while tapping her thighs, which were now hurting like hell. She screamed so loud, a d felt something pulled forcefully out of her, followed by the sound of a baby, crying.
“You did it Rose, he’s a boy.” Lia said, smiling heartily.
Rose smiled happily, while trying to catch her breath, as tears of joy slid down her cheeks. She took her baby from Lia, and kissed his forehead, before giving him back to Lia.
“Khalid is his name. Take care of him Lia, protect him for me. Please don’t let them get to him, protect my child” Those were her last word, and she gave up the ghost.
Lia dropped the baby carefully on a clothes, which was laying on the ground, before turning to Rose, who was now laying lifeless on the ground, tears poured out of her eyes, as she shook Rose continuously…
PRESENT…
She cried bitterly, as she tightened her grip around him, not minding his hair, that pierced her hand, with blood now oozing from it.
Lia POV
I couldn’t stop the tears that kept pouring from my eyes, as I stared at my once sweet son, who wouldn’t even like hurting a fly, let alone a human, but look what he’s turned into, a monster. I failed to protect him, I failed Rose, I failed my best friend, who was always there for me.
Rose fell in love with Lucien, who was believed to be the devil. All effort to change her mind, proved abortive, and after she got pregnant, Lucien died. Rumors had it that his son is destined not to meet him alive. After he died, Rose ran away, to protect her unborn child, as the people intended to crown the child as soon as he came to the world, and make him their king, which he meant he’ll become a monster.
Rose later gave birth, and asked to keep his child away from them, but I failed her. It all started twenty years ago…
FLASHBACK…
Lia was sitting in her small hut in the woods, when Khalid came running in and screaming.
“What happened Khalid?” Lia asked worriedly, as she stood up on her feet.
“Mother they’re….” Before he could finished his words, he dropped on the floor, with his eyes closed, and before Lia could comprehend what was happening, five hefty men tripped into her house, and took Khalid away.
“Where are you taking my son?” Lia screamed, as she tried fighting them, but it was pointless, considering the fact that the people aren’t humans or ordinary werewolves, but the ones that came from the devil’s lineage.
“Bring her along.” The one, who seemed to be their leader, ordered, and the next thing, Lia felt her gaze blurry, before blacking out.
She woke up the next day, but was shocked, as she met the opposite version of her son, he was now on the throne, looking as dangerous as the devil himself…
PRESENT…
It was all my fault, I should’ve protected him, I shouldn’t have let them take him away, and now that he needs me the most, I can’t even go close to him, coz his demon is a tough one…
Emily (Octavia mom) POV
I sat on the floor, staring into space, as tears came streaming down my cheeks. I know this is destiny, I know it is already fated, but what if she die before he finds out the whole truth? What if she’s already gone, before the truth reveals itself? I just wish there’s something I can do about it, I wish I can tell him myself, but that is not allowed.
I’ve watched her grow, and with each day that passes by, I always felt my heart, breaking into pieces, knowing that a time like this would come, sooner or later…
