Chapter 62: Infanticide

Damien’s POV

What the hell?!

Damien looked at me in disbelief as if I had just done a heinous crime he never thought I was capable of doing.

There are a lot of things he doesn’t know about me, and a lot of things have changed ever since left me. He has no right to look at me with judgment in his eyes when he is the reason why I’m in a desperate situation right now.

Damien shook his head like he wasn’t able to stomach my lies anymore. “I’m going to tell Killian about this, whether you like it or not. Killian deserves to know the truth. It’s up to him if he still wants to marry you after that or not.”

Damien walked forward with a determined look in his eyes, but, I rushed forward and grabbed his arm to hold him.

“Please, Damien don’t tell him. Don’t do this to me, please,” my voice croaked as I begged him in a whisper.

I tightened my hold around his arm, my fingers digging under his sleeves.

Everything would be over once Killian and his mother found out the truth. The only reason why Killian is going to marry me is because they thought my child was his. Once they found out the truth, not only our marriage would be over, but they would hate me also.

“You’ve left me before, Damien. I don’t want Killian to leave me too,” I whispered as tears strolled down my cheeks.”

Damien stopped and stared at me with brows furrowed together. In the end, he sighed and grabbed his arm away from

my hold.

“You shouldn’t have lied to them Giselle. You should have told them the truth including our past. You should have been transparent to them from the start.”

I held my breath as I stared at him with hatred. “You have no heart!” I shouted as I pointed a finger at him. “Fine, if you want to tell Killian the truth, then go ahead! I knew you were up to no good when I saw you,” I hissed.

“I will tell him everything. This is not just for him, but this is for you and my child also. Killian is a smart and powerful man. There’s no way he would see through your lies. Once our child is born, it would be hard to hide the truth from him.”

I averted my gaze on him and scoffed. By then, I would be the Luna already. The only thing that Killian could do against me was to hate me for fooling him.

What matters to me is I secure my position as the Luna of the Pack

“Alpha Damien! How are you? I just found out from my son. that you came for a visit. What made your way to our Pack?” Victoria suddenly came out of nowhere and called Alpha Damien as she made her way through the garden.

Damien smiled as he went forward to meet Victoria halfway. He gave her a half bow out of respect making Victoria chuckle in happiness.

Victoria likes it the most when people show her forms of respect and even though Damien is an Alpha, he still gives Victoria a half bow like she was something, making her heart swell in pride.

“Giselle? Are you alright?” Victoria’s gaze suddenly landed on me when she saw me at the side wiping my tears away.

She came so suddenly that I didn’t have the time to hide away my tears.

“I’m okay, mother. Alpha Damien and I were just talking about the memories we had in the Crimsonbane Pack. I just got. teary,” I forced out a small laugh as I dabbed at the tears in the corner of my eyes.

“Hormones, it’s hard being pregnant isn’t it?” Victoria replied.

I let out a smile. “Boys do really give their mothers a hard time. I need to get used to it.”

Victoria laughed. “That’s true, my son was willful while growing up. The fruit won’t fall far from the tree.”

Damien glanced at me after Victoria spoke her statement. I swallowed hard because of the intensity of his gaze.

“Come inside and let’s eat. The dinner is ready,” Victoria walked ahead of us after inviting us, leaving us behind.

Damien stared at me, but I ignored him, completely refusing to meet his gaze.

Killian was already on the table when we arrived. We took our respective seats, and I ended up sitting right beside Damien.

The three continued to talk formally, continuing with their trivial conversation as the omegas started to serve our food which was made extra special to give a lasting impression on our special guest.

They kept talking nonstop even throughout the meal while I

remained silent beside them, just keenly listening to their conversation waiting to intervene if things got out of hand.

“Killian, Giselle, and I talked to each other earlier and there’s something she’s going to confess,” Damien spoke and I knew instantly what he’s trying to do here.

My eyes snapped at him as my heart started to pound inside my chest.

“Killian, the child…” Victoria and Killian stared at him intently, waiting to let him complete his sentence. “Giselle’s child is-”

Before Damien could say another word, I landed a punch on my own belly and let out a cry to stop him. I felt blood trickle on my leg as I moaned in pain.

Giselle has no care about her child at all. She’s just obsessed about becoming the Luna

D

Giselle! Giselle!” Victoria and Killian shouted her name with worry etched on their faces as they rushed to her side.

Giselle cried out uncontrollably because of the pain that she had caused to herself.

I sat beside her with my eyes wide, staring at her in disbelief. I was frozen in fear when I saw how she punched herself in the belly, causing all this pain unto herself.

Giselle has been sitting beside me all this time, so Killian and Victoria didn’t notice how she punched her belly underneath, the table with full force.

I was pushed to the side as Killian pulled Giselle out of her seat to see what was happening to her.

I couldn’t speak. I don’t even know if I should tell Killian that Giselle just tried to abort her own child.

“K–Killian! T–the baby, m–my grandson!” Victoria shouted in fear when she saw the puddle of blood beneath Giselle’s chair.

Giselle had lost a huge amount of blood already, but her leg was still bleeding.

Killian cursed under her breath when he saw the blood she lost and how she couldn’t stop crying out in pain.

“Quick! Someone call the doctor!” Killian demanded the

omegas.

“Don’t mover her!” I finally stood up and stepped up to them when Killian suddenly placed her arms around Giselle to try to lift her.

“The baby’s life is in danger; we cannot move her, or else it might harm the baby,” I spoke up when he looked at me.

Since I know what Giselle had done, I also know the things we need to avoid to stop the possible bad things that could happen.

Killian was alarmed by my words. He instantly removed his hands away from Giselle and kept her arms to himself.

“Ah! It hurts!” Giselle’s face contorted in pain as tears streamed down the corner of her eyes.

She had done this to herself. She just tried to kill my baby inside of her.

“Just breathe in and breathe out,” I whispered to her as I reached out my hand for her to hold on.

Giselle did as I said. She dug her fingers into my palm until my skin bled. Still, I didn’t push her hand away. I endured the pain. for her.

Although I was angry at Giselle for trying to kill my child, I had to push away my anger and focus on the health of my child. I will deal with Giselle later after I’m sure that the baby is safe.

My eyes widened, and my breath got caught in my throat when Giselle suddenly pulled me close to her. I swallowed hard when I felt her lips brush my ear.

“The life of your child is in my hands, Damien. Don’t do

anything against my will if you don’t want your child to get

harmed,” Giselle threatened in a soft murmur, causing a shiver down my spine.

“Y–You’re crazy,” I whispered back. Victoria and Killian are

standing far from us and are so caught up in their distress that they do not notice us secretly talking to each other.

“You’re going to kill your own child just to keep your secret?” I questioned her.

“I swear, Damien. If they replace out the truth, you will never have the chance to even see your child getting born. This is everything that I have. If I lost it because of you, I will make sure you will lose your own child too,” Giselle spoke coldly with gritted teeth as she held her pain in.

“What happened?”

Before I could give Giselle a reply, I was pushed to the side when the Pack Doctor finally arrived.

Without wasting any time, he did a complete check on Giselle to check her vitals and monitor the baby’s health.

“What is happening to me, Doctor? We were just eating when I suddenly bled out and felt pain in my womb. Is my baby alright? You said my pregnancy was perfectly normal,” Giselle quickly interjected before the Doctor could give his diagnosis.

The Doctor was taken aback by Giselle’s words. He must have noticed that something was wrong while he was checking her vitals, but this wasn’t his replaceing at all.

“A–Alpha,” the Doctor said, facing Killian with a pale

expression. “I need everyone to leave the room for a while. I need to make an emergency procedure to help the baby survive.”

“Is there something wrong with the baby?” I asked worriedly as my heart pounded inside my chest.

“A–Alpha,” the Pack Doctor turned to me in surprise. I took a step back when I realized what I had done.

“The baby will be fine as soon as I have the procedure done,” he answered.

“AAaaaahhhh!” Giselle screamed and–convulsed in pain when her belly contracted again, sending a wave of agony through her body.

“We need to leave the room now!” Killian demanded when he saw the urgency.

As we left the room, a line of nurses walked in with equipment to help Giselle.

Anxiety gripped me when the door was closed on us. I stared at the wooden door, waiting with bated breath for an update on my child’s condition.

Killian and Victoria are equally worried as well, thinking that my child is theirs.

I couldn’t believe that Giselle had done this to our child. I never thought she would harm our child and hold him as leverage against me.

I need to take my child. I needed to take him away from Giselle to make sure that he would be safe.

It seems that Damien has no plans of stopping as long as he makes sure his child is safe
