Eden~~
The last thing I'd do was to believe Jonathan's mum. That woman was so devilish and had every characteristic of a devil in her. I feared she even transferred her ability to her son, because Jonathan had become uneasy to look up to.
Last time, I was fast enough to make him lose one clue to find his biological father. My dad had told me about him not being the real son of the late king, and how I might actually lose him if he eventually returns to his dad. Which was why I showed up at that minute to make sure such a thing didn't happen.
And now he was looking me in the face and taking her mum's side for the first time?
“You heard me well, Jonathan. Your mum beat me to a pulp and made it known to me that you are marrying Sandra and officially making her your luna, and her pups yours. And this is what you have to say?” I yelled at the top of my voice, my chest heaving.
If I lost him, all my years of devotion to him would go to nothing. What would be of me? What will my friends talk about me if this happens?
He sighed and stood on his feet.
“Don't tell me that you're leaving when we just got here now,” I said, also getting to my feet.
He nodded, “I have a lot to take care of, and arguing with you here would yield nothing to me.”
“Arguing with me?” I asked, my index finger pointed to my chest.
Oh no! This couldn't be the man that I'd known. He wouldn't talk to me this way when he knew damn well that his mum had always hated me and did not want us together.
“So, you mean to say that I'm finally nothing to you? You have nothing to say about your mum's actions and words towards me?” I asked him, not believing that tears welled in my eyes.
He walked closer to where I stood and put up a smile I knew was fake. “As I told you initially, you must have crossed the line for my mum to raise her hand at you. She can't possibly start hitting you because you visited…
“Why is she supposed to hit me because I touched Sandra? That's my sister, and I got to do what I could.”
“That’s the problem here! You touched Sandra, someone who's still recovering from childbirth and her mate's dilemma,” he said, and I couldn't help but chuckle. “What's funny? Are you pretending that you don't know what happened to her mate?”
Really?
Jonathan was putting up a game he couldn't conclude.
“And you put him in a dilemma. Or you think I wouldn't know?” I retorted, and his face turned cold. “You can deceive everyone except me. You put him in that state, leaving Sandra with no choice but to accept you as her baby's father, and you think it's an achievement?”
He nodded, “Of course, it is. What have I ever achieved since I began dating you?”
“You used me, dude! Now I could see how stupid I'd been, thinking that you were doing all these for us. My sister has always been the one you wanted, or you wouldn't think of making her your luna when her mate is still alive,” I yelled at his face, my chest burning in anger. “Now that you're about to get access to the company and throne, I hope you won't need me back.”
“Abort the pup! I'm not going to father him or her…” he said coldly and turned around to begin leaving the room.
I couldn't stand it.
Did he just tell me to abort the pup he put into me? I rushed to him, only to feel my ear vibrating from his smack against my cheek.
“Stay away from me!” he growled and vanished from the room.
I froze, staring at the floor with my palm still on my cheek.
Jonathan just slapped me? He raised his hand to me after so many years of dating him?
This wouldn't end here. I will not let him get what he wants.
Those pups? He would lose them. The company and throne; he will get access to none. His mum, whom he thinks is a goddess, he will match her grave.
He started this, telling me to abort a child in my belly. But little did he know that all those were my dramas. I got fed up with him always telling me not to come to his place because of Sandra, and I decided to play this bet with him.
If I didn't do it, how would I have found out that I had been dumped for a long time? He planned it all with his mum, to shift me aside once Sandra offers them what they want.
And heaven bear me witness, not even Sandra will survive this. I will make sure to get rid of the whole of them to the last, and at the end, I will have his brother, who owns everything.
He would be the loser; I promise him.

I went back to my dad, and I narrated how everything went.
There was this disappointment across his face as he shook his head, before he was able to say, “His mum is the beginning of every problem. If I can get her down, then everything will be okay with me.”
I patted his shoulder gently, “Leave it to me dad. Both mother and son have just touched my wound, and they would get what it means to cross the boundary.”
And I meant every word, because I had always vowed to make sure Jonathan doesn't live to tell his stories if he ever happens to dump me after so many efforts to see that he was what he wanted.
I hired a spy who gave me every single piece of information about King Ramsey and his state, and then about Sandra and her pups.
At a certain noon, I decided to reach out to the councils in charge of his care, because they would be my backbone when the time came. I gave them all the information they needed against Jonathan and his mum, and I made sure that my dad was safe from them.
“When he was planning to drug the king's lycan, I overheard him through a call with his mum. But when I tried to know more, he refused to speak and insisted I shouldn't worry much about it.” I narrated while they all watched me. “I know I had never been on good terms with my sister, but ever since she got married to the king, I warned Jonathan several times to make peace with his brother so we could get married and start making a family as my sister and his brother….
“Each time I brought it up, he shrugged off the idea and always mentioned how Ramsey wasn't the late king's biological son, and so he shouldn't be the king. But when I think about it, I don't recall anything meaningful he did when he was ruling, but I didn't want to talk about it to him, and just wanted him to change. His mum is the devil here who keeps poisoning his mind…
“...and which was why I was shocked when my dad told me that the late king was not the biological father of Jonathan. I thought it was every reason for him to lie low and make a name for himself as the lycan prince. Yet all my efforts are in vain…But I simply can't ignore what he did to his brother, because it's affecting my sister and her pups big time.”
They all exhaled deeply, as though they had heard enough and simply did not know where to even start.
For some time, there was silence, before the chief council minister asked me, “Now, what do you want us to do to them? You've been dating for years, and it's not easy for you to want him down, right?”
I chuckled and leaned closer, “Sir, if you were in my shoes, you would do more. I faked a pregnancy report to see his actions and know if I should continue this or not. Guess what his response was….”
They all glanced at each other, and I was sure I had just drawn their interest in the story more.
“He wants me to abort the child, because he had forced my sister to sign off the throne and company to him. So, Sandra will be his Luna, and he will claim her pups. What then would happen to the real father who is still alive? Aren't you all bothered like I am?”
“Its not like that!” the chief minister said with a smile. “Well, thank you for the information. But we will only take actions towards them if you prove to us that you are loyal to what you just said…”
I swallowed my saliva, “What is it?” I asked, my heart wavering in fear that they would want me to grant them a favor difficult to take care of.
“Make sure Luna and her pups are out safely from his web, then we will handle the rest.”
Not yet! Not now! Never!
Why would I do that when I want her down too? How would I take over her place in the king's life if she survives?
Nope! That was so difficult to agree on. Maybe I should take vengeance into my hands and let those men out of it.
