Ayann POV
Uncle Xander was an emotional wreck , angry, disconnected, and unglued.
“I can’t believe she did that. ”
his voice cracked, and his eyes burned with unshed tears.
He was dumbfounded by the news, and I understood him . He loves his girls so much he thinks of them like they’re sweet angels.
They will never utter any single sine .
I don’t blame him. He’s a father. After all , he will never think worse of his children like myself. I never thought Charlotte would be capable of doing such a thing.
“Do you think he’s involved in her kidnapping?
“He has also been absent for a while now. I asked his mother about his sudden disappearance, and she said he needed to be away and alone to heal from his mate’s rejection.”
Then it hit me hard. It could be Ayann Charlotte’s mate, and she lied to me!
It makes sense now that Charlotte would never have a relationship with a poor average man.
Unless it’s her mate.
She dislikes averages and treats them like trach, unlike Gianna and Angelina.
Fuck ! Is the baby even mine?!
Anger seized me, rage and bitterness had preyed upon me , my body was seething with fury, my fingers refused to move, I sat rigid for one long moment, the throbbing in my temples, my nostrils flared, and all the hatred that a betrayed man can feel concentrated in my heart.
Charlotte!!
I hold myself to not scream, wait until I catch you, you have a lot to explain, and you’re definitely going to pay for it ..
” How’s Gianna involved in this?
Is she involved with Ayann ?
He rubbed his face, frustrated.
“She’s with her friend , she just called us last to not worry about her ”
” Did you ever try to call her on the phone? ”
“No, she was calling us regularly, we didn’t feel the need for that. ”
” Don’t tell her anything and act normal . Next time she calls, I will track the phone call ”
His phone rang, and we postponed our talk.
” Excuse me , I need to take this. It’s Angie calling ”
Angelina, my sweet mate, I was blind, I lost her to my foolishness.
I need to tell her family the whole story that I rejected her daughter and humiliated her and caused her a lot of pain.
But now it’s not the right time, Uncle Xander will have my head if he ever would hear that I hurt his daughter.
Suddenly, a loud bang on the floor took me out of my trance.
Uncle Xander dropped his phone on the floor, his face pale with sorrow on his face.
” Uncle Xander, what happened? ”
My god, Angie, did something bad happen to her , my heart started beating fast, and fear crippled me
” Mason Gina’s mate got stabbed with a silver knife, and he is in critical condition, ”
Angie POV
It’s been a week since Mason’s killing attempt
He’s been in a coma since then.
I feel numb and cold inside, I feel lost with him.
It’s been a week since I’ve been lying on our
I can’t move an inch. My heart is heavy. It’s like carrying a big rock that won’t go away.
I’m holding his last worn shirt. His scent still lingered on it. I sniffed it.
I miss him, I’m his handsome face, I miss his beautiful eyes that hold great love for me , I miss his beautiful voice, his laugh, I miss his arms warped around me in a big warm embrace and the way it made. feel safe and happy, and I’m afraid that I want to see and feel him again.
Our happy and sad memories come to my mind, the good times we shared and those wonderful moments we spent together .
The bad times that we consoled each .
And then a wrenching sob left my throat.
I’m feeling the mate bond slipping between us. I couldn’t feel him anymore. If he dies, I will die with him. What’s the point of being alive without him anymore?
“Angie darling”
My mother’s voice woke me up with Aria crying in her arms.
I can’t bring myself to open my eyes. Opening my eyes would bring me back to reality. I don’t want to, I just want to believe that all that happened.
I just want to lie there holding on to Mason’s shirt, breathing in his scent, and imagining being in his arms again.
” Angie sweetie, wake up, Aria is missing you , she wants her mother, she’s crying for you , you need to be strong for her and for Mason when he’s up from coma ”
I can’t, I can’t, I know I’m a bad mother and acting selfish, but I couldn’t bring myself to get up and act normal.
My tears streamed down my face
Oh Mason, don’t leave me, please love, come back to me , moon goddess. Don’t take him away from
My mother sighed and bent over, kissing my temple.
” I will call the maid to bring your lunch. Please eat. You can’t keep going like that without nutrition”
I didn’t say a word.
” Listen. Angelina Xander Black, you better hold yourself together, and take care of your daughter, or you won’t like what I’m going to do. I will live with you now, but I will be back, and I would like to see the strong old Angelina. ”
Then she left, taking a crying Aria with her.
Emilio POV
I woke from my slumber by the sound of my alarm.
I rubbed the sleep from my eyes, stretched my long arms, and got ready for the coming day. Suddenly, I felt a slight movement beside me.
I turned my head, and I was shocked to find Gianna sleeping peacefully next to me.
“What the fuck is she doing in my room? ”
Then I was the one who came to her room in the middle of the night after hearing her screams. She was having a nightmare. I didn’t have the heart to leave her after asking me to stay with her.
Suddenly, a sweet smell filled my nostrils.
I sniffed the air and the scent belonged to my mate.
Wait … I can smell her arousal
“She’s in heat , my mate, in heat” Eros said.
She’s in heat?!
Ugh fuck how can I forget? I marked her
So the mate bond is pushing us to complete the mating ritual.
Shit ! I’m doomed, I need to leave the room before I do something I will regret.
