Chapter 65: Give up

Giselle’s POV

Everybody had just left after the Pack Doctor pushed everyone away so I could have my full rest

Once everyone was gone, silence filled the room once again, and my deafening thoughts started to get the best of me again.

A bitter laugh escaped my lips as I stared at my pregnant belly. “You are punishing me for harming you,” I muttered bitterly as I drew my hand in circles on top of my belly.

I tried to harm her, and right afterward, she gave me this surprise.

I flinched when someone just barged into my room and flew. my door open. I pushed myself up to a sitting position as I waited to see who that was.

My body tensed up when I saw Damien appear in the corner of my room.

“Damien?” My brows furrowed when I saw him appear at the corner of my room. “What are you doing here?” I questioned him as I scooted far from him.

“We need to talk,” Damien answered tersely as he locked the door behind him and made his way towards me.

“This is dangerous!” I hissed at him. “Do they even know that you are here?”

“Everyone has gone to their beds. No one would think I’m here,” Damien snapped back.

“What do you want?” I questioned firmly. Just when I thought I

could finally rest, he entered my room and bothered me again.

I want my child, Giselle. I’m not going to leave this Pack without my child. I’ve told you already I don’t want my child to grow up without knowing that I’m his father. I won’t let any man steal that role from me,” Damien spoke furiously.

I scoffed and averted my gaze from him. “Fine, you can have your child,” I responded.

“What?” Damien’s brows furrowed in surprise. He wasn’t expecting that I would give up easily.

“I said you can have your child.” I looked into his eyes as I repeated my words to him with a straight face. “Isn’t that what -you want?”

Damien paused as he locked gazes with me. His eyes

narrowed slightly as if he were trying to read through my words. “That’s it? You are giving up your son that easily?” He questioned me like I was a bad mother.

I know, in his eyes, I’m a bad mother. He saw how I harmed my baby while she was still in my womb. I also just used our child as a leverage that I can use to threaten him. All of this

happened just within the day.

It’s so perplexing how so many things could happen in just one day.

“I’m not having a son, Drystan. I’m having a daughter,” I blurted out without looking at him.

Damien visibly flinched back at my words. “W–What?” His brows knotted together, “But the doctors just said-”

“Of course, I told him to lie, Damien. If they found out that I’m having a daughter, they would abandon me just like you’ve

done

Damien couldn’t speak. He just froze and stared at me with guilt in his heart.

“Do you understand, Damien? Do you now know how much this meant to me? You can still have your daughter if you want. I can no longer keep her with me anymore,” I muttered with a straight face while my heart tore apart inside of me.

“Is that how insignificant your daughter is to you? You are doing all this just so what? Just so you could be a Pack’s Luna? I can’t believe you’d rather give up your own child than give up your ambition.” Damien shot back in anger.

“What is it to you, Damien? If you hadn’t given me false promises, if you hadn’t abandoned me, none of this would happen. We would have been one big happy family, and no one gets to be abandoned!” I glared at him with hatred in my eyes.

Damien scoffs, and then he slowly nods his head as he understands the situation. “I see, that’s all that you care about Fine, I’ll take the child no matter what, and I don’t care why.”

With that, Damien left the room, and once he was gone, my firm resolve suddenly shattered. The tears that I’d been trying to hold back finally welled my eyes.

“H–How could you do this to me?” My voice croaked as I tried to force my tears back. “Don’t you know what you have done?” I whispered as I stared down at my baby bump.

“Because of this, I couldn’t be with you anymore. Because of what you have done, I had to give you up.” Tears strolled down my cheek as I shut my eyes in heartache.

I know I shouldn’t be placing all the blame on my child. The

child is innocent; she hasn’t even been born yet. It was I who decided to give her up just because of her gender.

As a mother, I never wanted to give up my child. It wasn’t a part of my plan to give my child away. My plan was to raise my own child and make Killian think that my child is his, too.

However, I had no choice. I have gone this far. I can choose not to give up when I’m almost there. Sometimes, people have to make sacrifices for their dreams, and I’m willing to make

Now that Giselle plans to give away her child and have a son, I think it would be easier for Killian to guess that whatever child Giselle will present to him is not his.
