Sting of betrayal のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

Athena's POVI grappled with a mix of emotions regarding the pregnancy, joy intertwined with a tinge of fear, sending my breath into unusual patterns."Are you okay?" Yifa inquired, her concern evident. "I'm fine. Just, don't share the news yet." I whispered urgently, forcing a composed smileBefore the mirror, I looked at my reflection, realizing a little change. Perhaps my imagination played tricks or a nascent baby bump truly emerged.After a refreshing bath, I dressed in a flowing gown, my hair twisted into a casual bun, and I descended for breakfast. Ralph, observing my voracious appetite, questioned me. "Are you okay?""Fine," I mumbled between bites.After breakfast, Ralph headed to his office. Restless in my solitude, the urge to confess my telepathic ability pressed, but the pregnancy added complexity.Aware of the abnormality and potential fear of werewolves associated with such abilities, my doubt lingered. What if he rejected this side of me? How would it impact our impe

Athena’s POVI woke to an empty bed, Ralph's absence signalling his departure from his usual routine. Attempting to rise, a throbbing headache seized meMy nakedness left me puzzled, ‘was it the usual full moon ordeal or because Ralph and I retired to bed naked?’ I pondered. After managing to stand, I headed to my room, bathing and requesting relief herbs for my headache from Yifa. A strange feeling engulfed me as if my heart shattered into thousands of fragments. It wasn't my emotion, perhaps it was a flow of emotion from Ralph's. Seated on the bed, I drew deep breaths wondering what was wrong. After some time I heard him walk into his room aggressively, and almost immediately he was out. His forceful entry to my room, without a knock, startled me. The intensity of betrayal and fury etched on his face hit me like a tidal wave."Is everything okay?" I managed, my voice trembling."Did you come here

Athena's POVPicking me up he placed me on the bed, we had sex like we had missed each other for decades.Lying in his embrace, a sense of relief washed over me after finally unburdening myself. Yet, to prevent a recurrence, I knew I had to lay bare the entirety of my secrets."Are you asleep?" I whispered to him."No. Why?" he responded, adjusting to gaze at me, his beautiful eyes visible in the dimly lit room."I need to tell you something," I began."I'm listening," he said."Something peculiar has been happening to me. I sometimes delve into memories unknowingly," I continued. He remained silent, seemingly trying to grasp the concept."You're quiet," I noted."Explain further," he urged."The first time occurred with Tala, a fleeting vision of her enduring torment. The second time was with you, I witnessed you in a distressed state," I explained, causing him to sit up, and prompting me to do the same."

Athena's POVA sense of fulfilment enfolded me, a newfound purpose emerging in Stormwind. Finally, I felt empowered to make a positive impact on the lives of others.The redemption of the girls marked a turning point, opening the floodgates for troubled souls to confide in us. Amid all that, my baby bump was becoming visible, each moment cherished, especially with Ralph steadfastly by my side.Our evenings became a shared tradition, a leisure from our daily efforts, yet progress in our mystical research remained very little. One evening in the garden, I surfaced the idea of seeking assistance beyond our means. "Should we turn to a shaman or someone else?" I questioned, hoping to sway him."What do you mean?" he replied."Perhaps the shaman outside the city," I suggested, sensing his hesitation. His stoic expression deepened at the mention of the shaman. "What?" I asked innocently."Who told you about hi

Athena's POV"I apologize, I shouldn't have said that. You seem quite nervous," he expressed, his touch gentle against my face.He must have sensed my fear, my heart racing at an alarming pace. Despite his comforting embrace, the unease persisted."I'll ensure we create a secure environment for you and our baby," he reassured, his hand resting on my growing bump."I feel dizzy, I'll retire to my room," I feigned a smile."But you wanted to share something," he gently reminded."It's nothing significant, we can discuss it later," I assured him."Alright. Rest well," he kissed my forehead as I exited his office.In the hallway, I pressed against the wall, clutching my chest. The surroundings felt dim. Just when I thought I was getting my life in order, this happened.Back in my room, I crouched beside the bed. My head began to throb, but the ache in my heart overshadowed the physical pain.Until evening, I remained
