“She had asked about her pup, and I told her that the doctor couldn’t save her pup. Neither did she know nor anyone would tell her that she had pups, not a pup.”
“Keep dreaming, Abby,” Christian spoke. “We had lost our hope that Ethlyn would be awake again, but she finally did. We didn’t hope for Cinder’s presence, but she came with Ethlyn as an offer of buy one get one free. In the same way, she will come to know about her daughter as well.”
“Are you going to tell her the truth?”
“Yes, if I will need to, Abby. To be honest, I have had enough of your drama.” Christian said sternly.
“Excuse me?” Abigail looked at her mate in shock.
“You’re not excused, Abby. Aren’t you ashamed of your deed? Being a mother, you are planning and plotting to keep the pup of another mother away from her?” Christian questioned.
“The pup about which you’re talking is a MISTAKE.”
“And what you are doing is CRIME. Mistake happens accidentally, but crime is done with proper planning and plotting.” Christian reminded her. “Fine, I agree that the pup I’m talking about is the result of the mistake, but the pup you are talking about is the result of love.”
“I don’t want to act like a wall between mother and daughter, but I’m warning you, Abby, that you will build an unbreakable wall between Ethlyn and you the day she will know about her pup from someone else.” He warned.
“The list of your crimes is increasing. First and foremost was when you came to know that Ethlyn was pregnant with someone’s else pup other than Nathan. You not a once confronted her or talked about it with me about all this thing. You just assumed that your daughter made a mistake by cheating on her mate and punished her by staying quiet when she was being kicked out of the pack.”
“Christ..”
“Shut up, Abby. And listen to me! Neither did you trust Ethlyn or the education that you have given to her, nor did you give her a chance to explain anything to her. All you wanted to know was who was the father of her pup.” The anger that was resting deep down in his heart was finally oozing out like lava, realizing that his mate was going to repeat the same mistake again that she did back then.
“Christ…”
“I’m not done yet, Abby. I was also not happy with the decision that you took for our granddaughter; she….”
“Oh, please,” Abigail scoffed. “For a while, I’m sorry for what I did to Ethlyn and didn’t trust her when I should have, but I’m not at all guilty for the decision that I took by getting rid of that pup.” With this, she left from there.
‘I was going to say that I wasn’t happy with the decision that you took for our granddaughter, she shouldn’t have been blamed for the things that happened in the past, but I’m happy now. She is her daddy’s princess in her father’s kingdom.’ He thought.

Next morning!!!
Ethlyn wasn’t ready to accept that her pup was no more, but at the same time, she could sense that everyone was telling her the truth. Little did she know that it was just a half-truth. She couldn’t thank her father for taking her to the place where her son was resting peacefully, ‘Chritsian Jr. Smith.’Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“I’m sorry, pup, for not being able to protect you.” She cried at his grave. She was feeling guilty that she failed to protect him. Only if things, she would have begged Nathan to let her stay in the pack that day then he would have been alive.
She was finding numerous ways to blame herself. Once she was done with blaming herself, the name of the person, because of which she landed in that position. She really had to give a tight slap to that particular person for the insult that she faced that day.
‘That night. I was with Nathan when I was in heat. So, whether he plans that trap for me? Or someone else?’ She wondered, wiping her tears. ‘And who the hell was the man who got me pregnant? Was he involved in the plan, or was he just a prey like me?’
‘We will find that after observing the CCTV footage of the mating ball that year. If I’m not wrong, then we need the footage of the 9th mating ball from now. And sadly, no one would have placed that footage safely. We are four and eight months late for the investigation, Ethlyn.’ Cinder said. ‘We have to find our enemies of this pack instead of looking for that man who got you pregnant.’
‘But from should I start? I can’t get any lead.’ She talked with her wolf, and that was when she sensed her mother placing her hand on her shoulder.
“Sweetheart!!” All of a sudden, Ethlyn’s jaws clenched, and her hand formed a fist; after all, she neither trusted Ethlyn nor did she give her a chance to speak. “Nathan is here to check on you.”
She wanted to scoff at the presence of those two people who weren’t there for her when she needed them the most. She wanted to leave the pack as soon as possible instead of staying anywhere near them, but she had to sort a couple of things before that.
“Give me some time, Mom. I will be back after a couple of minutes.” She said emotionlessly.

Roselet was running from her wardrobe to her bed in excitement back and front, carrying all her beautiful dresses and her matching shoes and her matching accessories with them.
“Rose, darling! Calvin said that you’re going for just two days.” Nelina said carefully, not to make Roselet sad. Five days had passed since Calvin told his love about her Mommy, and during this period, he came up with a plan to create a situation in which Roselet could meet her mother.
