The Strength of a Mother

CATHERINE.

Agony rips through me, but it’s nothing

compared to the pain that he has caused me, and what he put our child through.

My entire life was a façade, a game of lies…

I don’t even know the man before me.

“I will never accept it. You will not leave me,” he growls dangerously.

“Then the council will force you to accept her rejection,” Charlotte says quietly.

I look at her. She isn’t shocked…

She’s composed, angry, yes, but calm…

She knew… she knew everything…

“You knew…” I whisper.

She nods slowly.

“Yeah, I did… Mom, not only did Dad order

Victoria’s death, but he has been experimenting on Royce and possibly Aleric from a young age because Royce held a lot of power… he tried to keep a lot hidden from you, Mom.” Charlotte says quietly, as she looks away unable to hold my gaze. 2

My entire world is shattering before me. The walls of my kingdom are gone, my castle has

crumbled…

I have nothing left. I am nothing but a horrible mother… a failure. 3

I let my own mate abuse my children and I thought I was doing well.

No one deserves such a disappointment for a

mother as I am. 4

My kids deserve better.

My eyes blur with tears as the agony of the truth eats up at me, like a piranha ripping through flesh.

“He even had Aleric try manipulating the Lycan King’s Daughter Skyla into taking

him as a mate for power!” Charlotte continues.

“Enough Charlotte, I will not tolerate disrespect!” Kenneth snarls menacingly at her and I move her behind me.

This man had his own daughter commanded to be killed…. I can’t trust him around any of my children.

“He didn’t want people learning of Royce’s power because he isn’t the type of sick person that Dad loves!” Charlotte screams.

“Enough!” Kenneth is in front of me in a flash, trying to grab her, but I push him back just as Marcel grabs him, punching him across the face. 5

Kenneth snarls.

“How dare you strike me!” He spits at

Marcel.

“I will not tolerate that shit in front of me!”

Marcel snarls, his eyes glowing menacingly, and I hear the cracking of bones as he flexes

his hands.

I glance at Winona, who is looking away, tears streaming down her cheeks.

“Winona…” I whisper, reaching for her.

I don’t deserve to be in her life, but I don’t want her crying before me. She’s pregnant, she shouldn’t take stress.

She looks up slowly, and to my surprise, there’s guilt in her eyes.

“I didn’t mean to ruin things,” she whispers.

I shake my head, shocked.

No, she didn’t.
