“Just have a look at yourself. Not only did you kill your mother, you also want to join hands with the enemy to kill your father. How could you be so stupid? You are nothing but a useless daughter. You are nothing but a traitor and traitors are not welcomed here. You cannot excel in your studies or your training. You are weak and your wolf is weak too. The only thing you know how to do is spread your two legs for your pack's enemy. Don't worry, I will see to it that you spend the rest of your life spreading your legs to whoever wants you to. Get the hell up and prepare to be sold out to the highest bidder. That's if anyone would still want you after finding out that you are pregnant. If no one wants you, I will rip that thing out myself.”
Her father turned away. He paused at the door and said over his shoulders, “I wish your child would also kill you at childbirth like you did your mother, you evil thing." Then he was gone, slamming her door hard and his footsteps echoing down the hall as he moved further and further away from her room.
Kyra did not know for how long she remained on the floor, just reminiscing her father's words over and over again in her head.
‘I wish your child will also kill you at childbirth like you did your mother, you evil l thing’ how could her own father wish her this sort of evil?
She never wished to be born. It wasn't her fault that her mother was not strong enough to push her out at childbirth and was stubborn and refused to do cesarean section. Her father knew about her mother's weak heart, why did he still allow her to conceive a child?
Why did the whole blame have to be on her when she was the innocent one? Was it because she wouldn't be able to fight for herself and has no one to defend her?
‘If no one wants you, I will rip that thing out myself’
Never! She would rather die than allow her father rip her child out of her. Tristan does not want her, her father does not want her, no one wants her. So, she only had her child now. She would kill herself before her father killed her child so that he wouldn't have to see her mother in her again. She would help him get rid of her since that's all he desires.
‘Get the hell up and prepare to be sold out to the highest bidder. That's if anyone would still want you after finding out that you are pregnant’
Surely he was not serious right? He only said it because he was angry at her right now. Surely, he won't sell her off to anyone, would he?
“Yes, he would see you off" her wolf whispered in her head as she curled up with sadness.
If her father can wish that she would die and also say he would kill her child, he would sell her off without blinking twice for sure. What did it look as if he did not just think of that now? It sounded to her that he already had this plan in mind for a long time now and was waiting for a good time to execute it.
Kyra winced as she slowly lifted herself from the floor and moved to lay on her bed which she and Tristan would have been tangled upon and making love by now if her father hadn't barged in to stop them.
Just a few minutes ago, she was the happiest woman on earth and even had difficulty in sitting down because of over excitement and a few minutes later, she was the complete opposite.
Kyra curled into herself on the bed as she finally allowed the tears which she had been struggling to hold at bay to pour out and soon, her loud sobs filled the room. Her shoulders were shaking and her whole body was trembling as she cried her heart and soul out.
Oh yes, her father was not joking when he said that he would sell her off because that evening, five maids barged into her room. They hurled her up from the bed and despite her protest, dragged her into the bathroom and proceeded to scrub her body and wash her clean.
Then a doctor came in to test her. It wasn't until her personal maid who had been seeing her since she was a little girl came into her room with tears in her eyes.
“What’s the matter, Amara?” She couldn't help but ask.
Amara shook her head as she gazed at Kyra with sad eyes that held sympathy, “Your father just sent invitations out that would be selling his daughter to the highest bidder. All the alphas, both good and evil, have been invited. You are the one he wants to give out. What are we going to do Kyra?”
Kyra had already zoned out from the part where Amara said that invitation had been sent out. So her father was serious? It wasn't just a threat because he was angry with her? She was right to think that he did not just think of selling her because he found out that she was pregnant for Tristan, it has been his plan all along and she wouldn't be surprised if it was his wife, her stepmother that pushed him to it.
“See what I told you?" Her wolf whined sadly.
Kyra quickly suppressed her wolf and shut her at the back of her mind despite her protests. Her wolf had a weird habit of always butting in to say the worst thing and ninety nine out of hundred, what her wolf says will always come true.
“You are not saying anything, Kyra. Your sisters are talking about how you are pregnant for Tristan from blood moon pack. They are lying, right?” Amara asked as she gazed at Kyra in expectation that the girl would tell her that her sisters were wrong.
Kyra could not say anything nor could she meet Amara’s eyes because her sisters were correct to say that she has been secretly sneaking out with Tristan. She hid it from Amara. Hell, she hid it from everybody.
Seeing that she was taking too long in responding and she was also not meeting her eyes, Amara's face contorted in anger. “So it's true? You have been sneaking around with your father's enemy and you are even pregnant with his child. How could you be so foolish, Kyra? How could you do this to yourself? No wonder your father is adamant about selling you off. Nothing I said entered his head. You brought this on yourself, Kyra so face it alone. I just hope that you survive.”
And just like that, Amara walked out, leaving her cold and numb and alone. At least, Amara wished her well and prayed for her survival unlike her father. Now, all she has is her baby. She would do anything to protect her child and make sure she doesn't lose him or her.
Kyra was grateful that in all of these, Tristan never agreed to mark her; if not, she wouldn't be able to survive what just happened now. He told her that they should wait until they could come out with their relationship. They wouldn't be able to hide it if he marked her because she would take on his scent.
She was broken and in pain but she wouldn't let it kill her. She would survive all of this and come back to run it in their faces. She needed to run, she needed to go far from here because her father might sell her off to an evil alpha who would kill her and her baby. She couldn't let that happen.
