Chapter 355


    Maynard’s POV:


    “I think they are tired. They should go rest.” Mom was quick enough to dismiss us. Usually, she would


    not leave anyone alone until she dragged out ament and made it a huge issue, but this time, she


    really didn’t want to speak.


    “No! I rested a lot. I am finally feeling much more rxed andfortable.” I shook my head as I


    refused to stay silent for another minute.

    “What is going on? Did I miss something?” Dadughed nervously, looking between mom and me.


    “Why don’t you ask your beloved mate about it?” That was it. It was a moment of truth. She looked my


    way and then gulped nervously. Her body was visibly shuddering as she yed with her fingers.


    “I don’t know what is going on. I was so happily waiting for his arrival, and this is how he is treating me


    in front of his mate,” she scowled, hugging herself and rubbing her arms to look like a victim.


    “Maynard, say sorry to your mother and make amends. You are going to start anew with your mate. It is


    not healthy to argue and ruin things with your mother.” Dad being unaware of all the horrible things


    mom had put his son through, advised me.


    “I think it is her time to start apologizing for her sins,” |mented, my eyes resting on my mom’s face,


    and my dad


    turned to look at her in shock.


    “What sins? What is he talking about?” dad asked, and she shrugged anxiously, pretending to be


    clueless.


    “I will just go to my room since my son doesn’t want me here,” she tried to get up, but when I stretched


    my feet and mmed them on the table, she sat down instantly.


    “What is this behavior? You are scaring your mother.” Dad side-hugged her, and she hid her face in his


    chest.


    “She is not what she looks like. She is the evil mother who ruined my whole life until I killed Geralt.” I


    was no longer going to hide the truth. I havee back with the mindset of exposing everything to


    Dad.


    “Hush!” Dad yelled. I know somewhere he knew I had killed Geralt hence why he waited to send me to


    the academy, but he didn’t know why I had done that.


    “There is no need to hide the truth from anyone anymore. Because I didn’t kill him out of jealousy. I


    killed him because of her.” I pointed at my mom, and my father unwrapped his arm


    from around her shoulder.


    “What are you saying?” dad questioned me, his eyes staring at my mom.


    “I don’t know what had gotten into him, but that is not true.” She knew it was over for her. I wonder how


    long she thought she would be able to control me and keep her dirty sins hidden.


    “Really? Then why don’t you tell Dad why I used to be scared


    of my own shadow? Why growing up I was so weak that I could barely walk.” I was yelling now.


    Recalling my childhood was just so painful.


    There were days when I thought I wouldn’t wake up because of how much blood my brother drank from


    me. But she didn’t care. She was happily watching Geralt grow and be stronger.


    “What does he mean by that? I want answers right now,” Dad got up from the couch and yelled at


    mom, who was shaking her head and rubbing her hands on her face in agitation.


    “I am sorry!” she cried. “I didn’t have much choice.” She continued, and my dad’s jaw hung low. I bet he


    never thought he was living with such a vile person.


    “You hurt our son?” Dad gasped.


    “She gave birth to me only so that she can save Geralt, dad;” || expressed my sadness over the fact


    that I wasn’t even needed. I came into this world for the purpose of saving my brother and bearing the


    pain.


    “I — I had no other choice. You were drifting away from me. In order to save our marriage, I had to give


    you an heir. So when I gave birth to Geralt, you were back to loving me. But then he fell sick, and I


    realized the moment he died, you would leave me. So I nned to get pregnant and use that other


    child to—- save Geralt. Somewhere deep down, I saw Geralt as the child who saved my marriage. He


    was dear to me, more than —Maynard,”She said the truth for the first time, and it felt like she stabbed


    me in the chest repeatedly.


    “And I had no clue—,” Dad was shaking as he realized how


    much I suffered, and he was oblivious to his son’s pain.


    “But now I love Maynard.” She got up on her feet to convince her that her love for me has grown after


    Geralt died, but wasn’t ready to take her lies anymore.


    “Because I am the one who saved your marriage again. You never really loved anyone. Your love for


    this crown and status made youmit all these crimes. I don’t understand how someone can be so


    heartless. Looking at me, you are like the worst punishment ever.” I got out of my seat the instant |


    watched her run over to me and sit on my feet.


    “Since there is nothing left to say. I, the alpha of the pack, decide the punishment of imprisonment for


    the rest of your life,” l announced, and a gasp heaved across her lips.


    She rushed over to Christina this time, sitting on her feet and holding her hands. “Please, you tell him


    to forgive me. I will not do anything wrong again. I have learned my lesson,” she was begging before


    the girl she had been bullying ever since


    she came to the pack.


    “So now you are going to beg before her? Where did your hatred for her go?” | knew she wouldn’t ever


    learn, and honestly, I didn’t want to give her another chance. She made me hate my brother and even


    helped him grow like a monster.


    Her fate was done and sealed.
