chapter 33
Violet’s POV
I almost burst out laughing. No, this was ridiculous. She was
obviously implying that Asher was the father of his child. But how was this possible? Asher would never allow her to have his
baby. I trust him.
I turned back to my brothers. They were all looking at me, a
strange look on their faces. Now I was starting to recognize that
strange look–it was called as the “sympathy.”
“Do you believe what she said?” I asked them.
“I am standing right here. There is no need for you to ask them. Or are you afraid of facing the truth?” Kylie taunted.
“Because I don’t trust you. I have had enough of your lies and
schemes!” I said trembling.
This was such an old trick of her–making up a lie and let us
believe that she was the victim. She lied about losing her mate for 7 years and used our sympathy to steal Asher from me. And the truth? She rejected her mate willingly. All of us were just
pawns in her hand, manipulated by her lies.
chapter 33
I would not believe a single word that she said from now on. I
had learnt my lesson.
Kylie burst out laughing, her voice lacing with sarcasm, “Running from the truth does you no good Violet. Asher and I
have a past together. That’s something even you can’t deny. So
what you two are mates? And I was his wife for 7 years! Even
your matebond can’t erase those seven years!”
“No…Stop!” I gritted, glaring at her. “Asher doesn’t love you! He
would never…”
Yet she advanced on me, a cold sneer tugging at her lips, “He
would never what? Sleep with me? Let me have his child? But
how much do you know him really? You have no idea what
happened during our marriage, how Asher treated me when I
was his wife. Don’t jump into conclusion, stupid sister.”
I glared at her, my chest rising and falling rapidly in anger.
Angry as I was, I still didn’t believe her bullshit.
She was trying to mess with my head again. This was what she
always did–driving people apart with her lies. If I let her drive a
wedge between me and Asher, that would be just what she had
wanted.
“You keep claiming that he has feelings for you, but he still
rejected you. Actions speak louder than word,” I said coldly.
A quick flash of resentment past Kylie’s eyes. She turned to my
3 brothers and demanded, “How long are you going to hide this from her? It is about time she wakes up to the truth!”
They all looked glum. Then Jayden broke the silence and said, “Well…it is truth. Kylie is indeed pregnant.”
I froze as a cold chill ran through me, “Are you sure?”
“Yes. The pack doctor confirmed 2 heartbeats within her. There
is no mistake there.”
“…And you all know about this?” I asked with difficulty, looking
across their faces. “For how long?”
“A while, actually.” Jayden said with a sigh, “We didn’t say
anything because this child might not even be Asher’s. Don’t let
this affect what you have with Asher right now.”
They didn’t say anything to me. I got it. They didn’t want to ruin
my happiness based on some rumors. But I still wished
somebody could at least give me a hint so that I didn’t look like
such a huge idiot when Kylie exposed everything.
My chest hurt. The peaceful and uneventful life that I was
currently living just came to an abrupt stop because of this child.
that Kylie was carrying. Did Asher already know about this?
Kylie must have talked to him. When? Why didn’t he say
chapter 33
anything? Did he think the child was his as well?
As though seeing through what was going on in my head, Kylie
let out a smirk, “Asher is thrilled about this baby. He has been
dreaming about a kid of his own for a very long time. You know
how much he loves kids. I’m telling you. He can’t wait for me to
give birth and name this child his heir.”
I wanted to cover my ears so that I didn’t have to listen to those
cruel words anymore.
“And you wonder why he haven’t told you anything?” Kylie
giggled, “That’s because he is looking for a perfect timing to
dump you. He is afraid of you losing your mind and hurt me
and this baby. So he decides to deal with this delicately. That is
how much he cares about me.”
“Enough.” I cried shakily, “I won’t believe a single thing you said!
All I know is that Asher and I are mates and we are destined to
be together. You drew us apart for 7 years and we still found
our ways back to each other. So just stop trying! It’s so pathetic!”
Kylie’s face twisted with rage, “My pregnancy is real! Even you can hear the 2 heartbeats within me! So stop talking about your
matebond because he is going to choose me and the baby. I
know it!”
I could hear her 2 heartbeats. Yes, she was indeed pregnant. But
Chapter 33
I wouldn’t believe anything until I talked to Asher.
“Asher will tell me what’s going on himself.”
With that, I stormed away from the scene and went to pick up
Mia on the stands. She was too far away to hear our
conversation, but the child had sensed the tension.
“What’s going on with you and Aunt Kylie?” she asked me
when we left the training court. “Are you two fighting? Is she
making you mad?”
I rubbed her hair, “Nothing. We are fine. I just want to skip the
training for the rest of the day because I’m so tired. Let’s go
home, alright?”
I didn’t want Mia to know the turmoil that was going on in my
life. Elena trusted her to me. I would do everything I could to
keel this child happy and carefree.
I sent Mia back home before heading to Asher’s office.
When I stormed into his office, the seer was there too. They
seemed to be having a meeting.
“What’s going on?” he looked surprised to see me rush in
covered in sweat. “Everything all right?”
chapter 33
“We need to talk.”
Perplexed, he gave the seer a quick nod, “Can you please give us
a minute?”
The seer bowed to him and left, living the two of us alone in the
room.
“I thought we were keeping everything clear and honest with
each other. No more secrets. Or does this rule only apply to me
and not you?” I fired away immediately. Couldn’t hold that for a
second longer.
He looked even more confused, “You are not making any sense
right now Violet. What’s going on?”
“Kylie…She is pregnant! Don’t tell me you didn’t know about
this!” I said trembling, waiting anxiously for his response.
He raised an eyebrow, “Yeah, well, I know. But I didn’t think it
was worth mentioning to you.”
His reaction set my mind to ease immediately. That was not the
reaction if he was the father. But I still decided to finish with my
questions, “Not worthy mentioning? She said you are the
father.”
Asher sneered, “It’s just another lie of hers. Always coming up
chapter 33
with new schemes to drive us apart. It is starting to get very
old.”
I let out a long sigh internally, feeling relieved. At least Asher
was on the same team with me. He also found Kylie’s sudden
pregnancy suspicious. He was not thrilled about this unborn
child as Kylie had said.
“So what do we do? Everyone else think she’s carrying your
heir.”
He reached out to hold my hand and gently squeezed it, “Don’t
worry. I’ll teach her a lesson. Hopefully she will learn to behave
and never bother us again.”
I wanted to know more about that lesson.
Yet suddenly, a familiar voice exploded in my head-
“Violet–I am back.”
I jumped up, shocked.
