FRIEDA WHITLOCK

"You better tell your son to cut that c**p of his and answer my questions else it won't be good for both of you Freda!" Safiya continued with her threats while I tried to console Cisco.

I ignored her words. My worry grew as Cisco kept crying the more she spoke. He might just be a child but I knew he could understand the weight of her words. He had gotten scared when he heard her speak about throwing me in jail. My hea warmed despite the pain of seeing him in tears. I was happy he cared about me and feared for my sake but if he continued crying so much, he would catch a fever or something else.

Safiya was still throwing profanities at us and I grew tired of hearing her voice. It was loud and annoying.

"Shut up, will you!" I snapped and she huffed, staring at me in disbelief that I dared to yell at her. She might be the Luna but I wouldn't take her accusing and pressuring my son into accepting blame for what he didn't do. She was trying to intimidate him and that was the height of it.

"Can't you see that you're scaring him? He just woke up. If I were you, I would use this energy to take care of your unconscious daughter, she needs it right now" I continued, this time lowering my voice and that seemed to blow up a fuse within her. Her nose flared as she shot daggers at me with he glares. Disbelief, hate, and pain were etched on her face. No matter how much I saw these emotions on her face, it took me Chapter 60

off guard every time. I always wondered why she hated me so much. So much that it seemed like a default look whenever she

saw me.

However, I looked away from her and stared at the sobbing Francisco in my arms, rubbing his back gently to stop him from crying as he was still in tears. The peace that was in the room had now been disrupted thanks to Safiya's s**d insinuations.

"How dare you speak to me in that manner, Freda?" She roared and Cisco jumped out of fright. I could feel her wolf almost baring free. It was agitated for a fight and so was Gia. My wolf had long wanted this starting from the day we knew she was shamelessly involved with my mate. If we were to face offr N, I would tear her apart because she was no match for me.

Give me strength, goddess.

Gia sensing my reluctance to attack, snarled in anger and shut off our contact leaving me alone to confront my problems. Knowing she wasn't there to comfort me anymore suddenly made me feel vulnerable. Tears welled in my eyes and I could feel Safiya smirking triumphantly. She thought she had won. I only let her win for the sake of my son's aggravated state.

"For this Freda, I will make sure you publicly give me that apology and nothing will stop me. Not even Kaiden as I'm sure you've talked him to your corner already" She spoke with spite and just when I thought I had only her to deal with, Georgina stormed into the room.

Initially, she was eyes on her granddaughter but seeing how focused Safiya was on me, she looked in my direction and her face soured. For a second, I had doubts about myself. I wondered what I had done to ever make them hate me so

much. They seem to lose their **it whenever they set their eyes on me and it was alarming now that Cisco was involved.

"What has she done this time, Safiya?" Georgina asked, staring condescendingly at me.

"Her wretched son pushed my daughter off the stairs and they think I'd let it slide? Never!" Safiya spat

I shot her a glare, "He didn't do anything as such, Safiya. Stop making things up and pay attention to your daughter's health!"

"Oh, shut up you s**t! Don't speak to my daughter in that manner. It must be true that your son did this. What do I expect from a fruit of yours?" Georgina would obviously take her daughter's side even though I had always known, it hurt.

"How are you sure your daughter wasn't the one to push my son down the stairs?" I retorted, slowly succumbing to the urge to cry. I began to s****b and I could see Georgina's wicked smile when she saw my state.

"My granddaughter would never do such a thing to anyone. It's obvious it's your son's fault. I'm not even surprised to see you involved in this since all you love doing is wrecking my daughter's life!" She persisted and my cries intensified. I couldn't take the pain of being blamed anymore, I was overwhelmed by everything and Gia had left me also. I was alone and helpless as mother and daughter showered me with insults. They weren't backing down and kept spilling harsh words every second they thought of something.

was being bullied and I could do nothing other than cry. When did I become so weak? I lamented inwardly.

Chapter 60

The door bursted open and Lyra tripped in with a bag and lunch basket in her hands. Her eyes widened when she saw my state.

"Freeds, what the heck?" She rushed to me with a worried look. on her face and I don't think I had ever been happier seeing my best friend as I was now.

I opened my mouth to speak but ended up hiccuping and she frowned deeply turning to Georgina who stood defiantly. Safiya was back to massaging Harper but that didn't mean she wasn't aware of Lyra's presence. She knew and looked fierce as ever.

"What have you two done to her? Lyra asked, angrily staring at Georgina.

"Who are you to question me?"

"Who the f**k are you to come in here and cause her distress. She was fine before you brought your busy body around so what did you do to her?" Lyra yelled and Georgina looked tongue-tied for a second but that didn't mean Safiya was. She looked at Lyra with the same look she always had when she looked at me

"Watch your tone, orphan, and get the hell out of here!"

That seemed to get to Lyra. She folded her hands, her anger was so palpable that I shrunk back. She hated being reminded of that and Safiya just did.

"As an orphan, I am better than your puffed-up self in all ways, Safiya. You might be the glorified Luna but you mean nothing to me and I will not hesitate to beat you up to a pulp!" Lyra retorted and Safiya shot to her feet as though she was ready for a fight.

Just as she was about to walk over, a nurse barged into the room and everyone froze. She looked at all of us, her eyes lingering on me and Francisco before speaking "What's with all the noise here?"

"You don't get to ask what the problem is when all you have to do is throw it out as it's obviously before you!" Georgina snapped at her, pointing at Lyra

The nurse sighed and surprisingly sounded calm as she poke, "Ma'am, the noise had been coming long before she arrived here"

Georgina stared at her in shock, while Safiya shot her a glare. Lyra however, burst into a mocking laughter.
