Chapter 60: Real Father
PRESENT TIME
At the Silvermoon's Pack....
Giselle's POV
I sped off, keeping my distance from Damien as soon as we were out of anyone's sight.
With Killian's request, I took Damien out to help him familiarize himself with the packhouse.
I picked the Packhouse's gardens first to escape the watchful eyes and prying ears of the people.
I crossed my arms tightly against my chest, my fingers digging under the sleeves of my sweater. A huff of frustration escaped my lips as my eyes narrowed into an irritated glare.
I turned on my heel and faced Damien without bothering to mask my real annoyance anymore.
"What are you doing here?" I questioned him with an annoyed tone of voice.
"You left us without saying anything. What do you expect I would feel when I found out you are pregnant and engaged with another Alpha?" Damien shot back.
I scoffed at his words. "Why do you care? My life is not your business anymore ever since you broke your promises and chose someone over me!" I clenched my fists as I held back my anger.
I don't want to be reminded of the past again. Memories of how I missed the chance to become the Crimsonbane Pack's Luna are something I'd rather not visit.
I know that delving into the past and beating myself up for my mistakes would do me no good. Life happens and we need to move on.
I have moved on from my past and chose to learn from the mistakes I made during my stay in the Crimsonbane Pack.
I worked so hard to get to where I am today and lift myself back up after Damien abandoned me and left me with nothing. I can't let him ruin everything especially now that I'm only a step away from my goal.
"I came here to know the truth, Giselle," Damien spoke firmly. "That child! Is it mine?"
I clenched my jaw as I stared at Damien with anger in my eyes. Why does he need to go here? Why does he need to trouble my life again?!
"Killian said you are pregnant for two months. It was only two months ago when you left. That child is mine, isn't he?"
"This child is Killian's! You've made your choice and you didn't choose me. You don't have anything to do with me or my child anymore. Leave this Pack and go back to where you came from!" I pointed my finger angrily outside. Since I'm pregnant, my emotions are all over the place because of hormones. I'm just not ready to face him right now. I need him gone this instant.
Damien's jaw fell open as he let out a breath of surprise. "I knew it! I knew the child was mine! Killian doesn't know it, does he?" Damien took a step forward as he dropped his questions, ignoring what I just said.
"You're so shameless!” I shot back
as I stepped backward with every
I
step that he made. "You have no
shame showing your face to me again after everything that you've done to me! Leaving me alone is the only thing that I'm asking you to do. Just leave and stop asking me these questions!" I yelled at him in
frustration.
Damien shook his head and scoffed. "I will never allow my child to grow up without knowing that I'm his real father. I can't allow another man to take care of my own child!" Damien spoke angrily making me fall into silence. My lips trembled, my hands shook and my shoulders heaved as I held back my distress. Tears welled in my eyes as I didn't know what to do.
"That is my child! I am his real father. I won't accept being not part of his life," Damien declared.
"You've lost your right to become my child's father the moment you married Vanessa and chose her to become your Luna!" I shot back while I was on the verge of tears.
"You've chosen and married
Vanessa already. Why shall you
bother me and my child? Do you
think Vanessa would be happy if she found out that you got someone else pregnant? She would only
think
of my child as a threat to he children's future," I argued with him
as I placed a protective hand on my
belly.
"Go back to your Pack and have your own child with Vanessa and don't come back here anymore," I added firmly.
"Does Killian know?" Damien's eyes
widened when he suddenly realized something "Are you serious rightĕ now? Killian doesn't know anything, does he? He thinks your child is his that's why he's marrying you Damien blurted out.
Damien has always been smart and fast in catching up to things which is why he was a good Pack Warrior and also an Alpha.
My heart pounded inside my chest when he got everything right. He is not supposed to know this. No one is supposed to know about this.
Damien ran down a hand on his face as he wrapped his head around the truth. "What is Killian going to do if he found out that you were fooling him all along? You are forcing a child on him that isn't his." "This isn't right! Killian should know the truth-"
"No!" I shouted, interrupting him. "You are not going to tell him anything. Killian is the father of my child as it should be!"
