s here, this house didn’t seem as intimidating it is now. Although I’m nervous, I’m not second guessing my choice. From the moment he turned on me, every bit of my fe at his side has been turned against me. The love Lonce felt for him was weaponized to make me feel like I was nothing le tainted it all with his disregard for everything that I am Every possibility between us died the first time he put his hands on me.

This feels a lot like the moon goddess is trying to force me to stay with this beast. I guess I don’t expect much from her anymore. Not since she cursed me to be this thing that everyone looks down on. Everything I have ever accomplished has been regarded with a that’s good, you know, for an omega.

I will not subject this tiny thing inside of me to something that was broken long before it even started. This pain is beginning for me, but the joke had been written from the instant Santiago realized what I was and decided that he would keep me around as his little plaything. I can’t, and I will not ever regret this.

“How are you feeling?” Dr Grant asks.

“I don’t know how to answer that,” I admit. The front door opens and I almost jump out of my seat when the King walks in. looking around until his eyes fall on me.

“My King, Dr Grant stands in front of me as if she were going to protect me from him.

“It’s okay,” I take her hand. “He knows.”

“Give me a few minutes to finish prepping, she glances back at me and nods. She bows to the King and excuses herself into the back rooms.

“What are you doing here?” 1 ask him.

“You don’t have to do this,” he says, sitting beside me. I’ve been replaying our conversation over and over in my head. I think maybe what I said might have been biased due to my hatred for your mate.”

Then maybe we’re both biased,” I shrug. “I’m not doing this because of what you said. But your point is undoubtedly one the reasons I’m doing this. I’m not just thinking about myself here. I don’t know if it would ever understand why Santiago and I can’t be together.

“If I were to keep it, I know I’d love him or her with all my heart, but it would ask questions eventually. Questions that I don’t want to answer. Questions that need to be forgotten. Handing it over to them is not an option. I know I’d be sending it to the same hell I would have had to endure with Poppy as his chosen couldn’t live with myself if I did that”

“I understand,” he says, taking my hand. I’m going to wait out here for you. I can take you home after. We can tell your grandmother, I kept you out.”

“You’d do that for me?”

“I know you would do that for me as well if the situation were reversed.” he shrugs.

“Are you making a joke right now?” I sneer.

“Do you want to laugh?”

“I shouldn’t, I clear my throat.

“One thing you find after taking nor too many hits is that turning all of this shit into a joke is the only way we stay sine We’ve lost a lot, Sophia. More than many have in their long–lived lives. At the end of the lay, there’s really no one to blame. Things are the way they’re supposed to be.

“Okay she takes a deep breath and lets it out in a huff before sitting in the rolling stool. “This procedure is going to take a few minutes, but I want to clear out as much as I can. So, I will be putting you under. Would you like me to explain what happens when you wake up now, or after?

“After,” I nod.

“Sure. You’re going to be groggy for a while. I’ve told the King you’ll be here for a couple of hours before you can get back on your feet again. He said he’ll be here waiting to take you home.”
