Third Person’s POV:
“Don’t waste your energy. You can’t change back to Erica until the next full moon”, Natalie replied with a yawn.
“Who are you? What did you do to Erica?” Riven asked with a loud growl.
“I killed her!” Ira replied with no emotions on her face.
“Why?” Riven growled in fury.
“I had to kill her because she made a mistake by claiming you first! You are mine, Riven!” Ira roared aggressively. Her eyes began to turn red.
“I will kill you. You killed the girl I liked then, and now you are trying to kill the love of my life!” Riven said while moving towards her.
He attacked her with his claws and, just like Giselle, choked her against the wall.
Riven showed no mercy. He was choking her tightly. Ira felt the suffocation.
“Erica was there with you.. Ahem.. only at the beginning of your life, it was me who was there with you, your entire life. All those moments, when you laughed and cried, you spent it with me. I know I did wrong, but I love you. I am not lying about that, Riven!” Ira said while coughing due to Riven’s merciless choke.
“It was all a lie! You were never honest with me”. Riven choked her hard and in just a few more seconds, Ira would be dead.
“Riven, I am pregnant!” Riven’s eyes widened and he instantly let go of her.
“What?” Giselle shouted. She felt like her world collapsed.
She looked at Natalie, who nodded her head, confirming the girl was indeed pregnant.
‘Is she pregnant with Riven’s child?’ tears began to fall on Giselle’s cheeks.
Riven remembered f*cking her on Erica’s birthday. He didn’t use protection and he didn’t know if she was using pills.
“Is this..?” Riven asked with astonished expression. Unknownly, he took a few steps back.
“Yours. I am pregnant with your child!” Ira said in a low voice.
Riven was about to believe her when Theodore entered the room, fuming with anger.
“You are such a fat liar, Ira! That kid is mine!” Theodore shouted at her in fury.
“What rubbish! It’s Riven’s child!” Ira insisted.
“I knew you were trying to do something like that. That’s why I did this report”. He removed the report from the pocket of his trousers and handed it to Riven.
“It’s my child! I knew she was pregnant and she tried to hide it from me. But she forgot the hospital she was visiting belongs to me. So, I called the hospital and told them to collect her samples and do a paternity test”, Theodore replied in a serious tone.
After reading the report and confirming that she was actually pregnant, he just said one statement, “Leave now and never come back.”
“What?” Theodore and Ira said in shock.
“I am showing you mercy just because you were there for me when I needed someone. But it was Erica’s place. I have no feelings for you. I can kill you right now, but the unborn inside is not at fault. That child can’t be punished for your bad deeds! Leave now before I change my mind!” Riven said coldly while glaring at Ira.
“Riven, you can’t let her go! Giselle, Kevin, stop him”. Stefan looked at Riven, Giselle and then Kevin.
“Let him take the decision now, Stef. I told you, never force your decision on anyone”, Kevin, being his understanding self, replied.
“He is right, Stef. That unborn is innocent! We can’t punish him for Ira’s mistakes”, Giselle said, while holding Stefan’s hand.
“Who are you to decide that? Do you think you are the King here? I am the leader, the king of foxes! She is not going anywhere! She will stay here! She will give birth to my child and I will use her whenever and wherever I want! She is going to be my slave and satisfy me my whole life! It is her damn fate!” Theodore shouted and grabbed Ira’s hand.
“Riven!” Ira looked at her with teary eyes.
Riven stared Theodore directly in the eye and uttered in an icy cold voice,
“Leave her hand. She is not your slave but your clan member!”
