The Lycan Series
Bullied By The Lycan King Chapter 96

Violet's

POV

My lower abdomen was killing me with pain. It kept shooting through me, weakening my legs to the point I could barely feel them anymore.

Tears filled my eyes as I thought about what happened. The tears weren't from the pain, it was from my heart.

Even now, I couldn't hate Axel. I wanted him still and this broke me. How could I enjoy what he did to me? How could I have moaned in between the pain when my little child was just a couple of meters away? What sort of mother was I?

I couldn't tell how long I was curled up on the bed, but it was long enough for me to realize that I had made a mistake birthing the child. I shouldn't have allowed him to live because now, he was going to suffer for a crime he knew nothing about. Axel was going to hate and punish him constantly because he would see him as a bastard. And me?

I would remain a sex slave for the rest of my life while he had his life with his new bride, Scarlett. Was this the kind of life I wanted my baby to have when he grew up someday? Would I be able to look into his face and tell him that, I was nothing but a sex slave to a man I loved with all my heart?

How would I feel when my son grew up and his friends mocked him for being the child of a s*x slave?

"Oh God..." I whimpered as my eyes landed on the boy. "My innocent little child.."

He was so beautiful; he didn't deserve to have such a complicated life. He shouldn't be here to suffer. No, never...

My brain began to think of a way out and I thought of Emily. Maybe she would take him but then again, Axel would always haunt him. It would be best he stayed with me, in life or death.

My eyes landed on the far side of the room, where the vanity table sat, and the shining blade of the beard scissors gleamed at me with an attractive whisper.

'Death is better than this life', it said in my head and a smile spread over my tear-stained face.

Despite my pain, I gritted my teeth and pulled myself out of bed. Each step I took sent shards of pain through my stomach, but I didn't give up until I got to it.

Then I started heading to bed again. I took my baby and held it close to my chest

-one more time before i ended our meaningless lives.

"I am sorry, but mummy can't keep you in this place..." As if my little angel could sense what I was about to do, it began to cry, causing a tear to grow through my heart.

Hot tears fell out of my eyes as I held him even closer. "I am so sorry... but this is the only way I know how to take care of you..."

If my mother had taken the same decision, I wouldn't have known the sort of pain, shame, and disgrace I have known in my life. If she protected me from this cruel world, I would have been alive somewhere else, far from here.

"I will make this quick," I whispered as I raised the scissors above his throat, tears pooled at my eyes, but I bit down unto my teeth. I had to do this, and I had to be strong.

The air in the room became cold and hot at the same time. Beads of sweat formed on my forehead, merging with my tears as they slid down my face An entity clutched my soul, and my determination grew stronger. The sooner I did this the better it was going to be. My hands were trembling, and my heart was breaking. I couldn't do it, but I had to.

"This is the only way..." I mumbled to my crying child. Then with a final breath, I lifted the scissors once more.

"Violet," a soft voice suddenly called, and the scissors dropped from my hands in shock.

Her eyes moved from my position to the scissors on the ground and she turned pale instantly. "Oh, dear goddess... Violet, what are you doing?" She rushed towards me and took the scissors away.

The entity that had taken over me vanished and goosebumps appeared over me as it dawned on me what I was about to do. My heart started racing and I hugged my baby to my chest, mumbling words of apology in my heart.

"What do you think you are doing? Why, Violet? How can you even think of something like this?" she cried out and my eyes raised from my child to her beautiful face.

I considered giving her a cruel response, but I realized that my situation... my bad luck wasn't her fault. It was all on me. I had brought it all upon myself.

"I am sorry..." I whimpered as my bottom lip quivered. "I am only trying to get out of your happiness, Miss Scarlett," I whispered as more tears pooled on my face.

A frown settled on her perfect face, and she raised her finger to her chest. "My happiness? What does my happiness have to do with you trying to take your baby's life?"

Her

question brought a flash through my head and the more rational part of me vanished. She had been nothing but kind to me ever since she got here and the last thing, I wanted was to tell her these things, but I had no choice.

"This is not just my baby. It's your... betrothed's child too. This baby is Axel's baby too! We made it together. But now, he doesn't even believe that it is his... he doesn't even want me... tell me, won't it be better to die with my child than let him live a miserable life?" | cried out, hating myself all over again for saying this to her.

Silence filled the room as my words settled into her head. Her eyes expanded and fingers went to her lips in shock.

More tears trailed down my face as I saw the effect of my words on the innocent woman. "I am sorry... this is not something you should be concerned with. You are like him. You are a Lycan wolf and... you will give him the heir he needs-"

Her warm hands grabbed mine and my words hung in my mouth as my eyes caught the paleness on her face.

"Violet, you think that Axel is my betrothed?" she whispered, and my heart paused from the pain I was feeling for a second. "Axel is my brother. He is my elder brother... not my betrothed.."

"But you are... they said..." Our eyes met as the emotions swirled through us. And then I saw it, the green eyes my baby had were more like hers...

"You are his sister?" I whispered as my heart cracked over again.

I had given myself so much pain over his sister...

She nodded her head and her wet green eyes moved to the child I held protectively in my arms. "May I please touch him?"

A large lump sat in my throat as I passed the child into her warm hands. She smiled and placed kisses on my little boy's face.

"He is beautiful and looks just like Blade..." she mumbled as she continued kissing the boy.

"Who is Blade?"

Her eyes left the boy, and she fixed them on me. "My parents had three children before the revolution. Axel, Blade, and I... but we got separated. I was sold into the forgotten lands as a maid while Blade went into child prostitution. I don't know what became of him... I don't even know if he is alive..." Her voice broke and tears descended freely across her face.

I could feel her pain and somehow, I understood Axel's pain too. It must have been hard for him and for her too.

I stretched my hand and ever so gently I touched hers, offering her the little comfort I could. But as if she had been waiting for me to touch her, she took my hand instead and held it in hers as if I were the one who needed the comfort.

"My family is already destroyed, Violet. My kind is on the verge of extinction... this boy, this child is a new beginning for us. New hope..." she whispered through sniffles, then she looked at me; "Please, don't take him away. Don't kill him or yourself... Axel is just clouded with problems but deep down, he loves you. We all see it. But he is just too stubborn...

My head went blank, and no thoughts could be formed. I just stared back at her, not knowing what to say. Axel had pushed me too far against the wall, and I didn't have it in me to fight anymore -especially not when my child's happiness was at stake.
