CHAPTER 45


    The next morning wasn''t any different from previous. Ozrain exited Selena''s room, rubbing his


    forehead in contempt. Draven who was waiting outside sighed out, he understood what might have


    happened behind the doors. They stared at each other silently for a minute or two. Ozrain is juggling


    between keeping his daughter alive and iming her as his daughter. Which one is more important?


    What if she continues this even after reaching their kingdom? She is already limp due tock of energy,


    how long can she sustain herself? He sighed out one more time.


    “Send the motorboat to bring your son” he said coldly. Draven ordered his pack to go across the river,


    he is very well aware that Zaden will be there.


    Selena is feeling very week, she could barely keep her eyes open. Her throat feels extremely dry. She


    was about to ck out when she felt a pair of hands slipping between her neck and thighs, lifting her


    off the floor. A warmth spread through her left torso andter to her neck. The familiar scent hit her


    hard. Her head dangling as a gentle tap on her cheeks tried to wake her up


    “Selena!!!Selena...please, open your eyes” a familiar voice demanded. A new found energy made her


    open her eyes. To her delight, its Zaden. She smiled and forced herself to hug him, although he had to


    support her arms. He buried his face in her neck.


    “You are stupid. You hear me, stupid!!!” he held her face in his palm and Selena gently smiled at him.


    “Water, please” Zaden requested to Ozrain and soon a cup of water was handed to him. He guided the


    cup to Selena''s lip and she drank it slowly.


    “Can you please ask her to eat something? “ Ozrain said and soon a bowl of porridge came to them.


    Zaden slowly feed her little by little.


    “Eat” she pointed at his lips


    “I just had breakfast. You finish your bowl first” he took another spoon and she refused to open up. Her


    eyes are much brighter now.


    “I had enough...” she said low with a smile. He sighed out. She is and always had been stubborn as a


    rock. He shove a spoon into his mouth before picking up another for Selena and now, she ate dly.


    They managed to finish 2 bowls of porridge just like that, stealing kisses in between.


    “You know your pregnant right? Why would you behave like this? There is plenty of ways to fight, not


    by risking both of you” he whispered to her. No one was in the room now


    “You were serious?” Selena frowned.


    “Yes, why would I be joking about this” he replied. Selena''s eye widened.


    “Why didn''t you tell me!!!” she eximed before swatting his arm and he hissed


    “Looks like someone is back on track. So, can I snuggle on your stomach? Need to hear my cute


    heartbeat” he asked and she nodded excitedly. Zaden ced her on the bed, moved her shirt up


    beforeid his cheeks on her tummy. He snuggled on to her skin, inhaling her wonderful scent while


    hearing their baby''s heartbeat. Yes, it is there, as strong as it was before.


    “She is good” Selena looked down


    “It can be a he too, you know” she said


    “Nope, the heartbeat is like storm and survived a lot. It''s definitely a little Selena”


    “How can you hear it when it must have been just, like 13 days?”


    “12 days” Zaden said making Selena raise both her eyebrow.


    “I heard it the next day after we made love for the first time. Wolves hearing is much more sharper than


    your modern ultrasound scan things” he said as he gave her navel a kiss. Selena slowly sat up,


    breaking the skin contact. She sat on the bed, facing down at Zaden who is kneeling on the ground


    “What will happen now?” Selena became nervous, thinking of the future. Zaden sat next to her, pulling


    her to hisp, and caressing her arms gently


    “I don''t know what he has nned...we will see” he said calmly. A knock on the door rmed them.


    Ozrain opened the door. As soon as Selena saw him, she retreat to Zaden, pulling him close and hiding


    her face in his neck. Fear of being separated again from him struck hailstorm in her. Ozrain felt a stab


    in his heart. Centuries ago, he left Elisa for his mate and today, his daughter refuse to see him for fear


    of losing her mate. Karma never misses its target. He sighed as he walked into the room, sitting next to


    Zaden.


    “I have been trying to talk to your mate here, since we came but she seems toprehend nothing but


    ‘my Zaden’. Now, I have given her ‘her Zaden''.Can she hear me out now?” Ozrain said as gentle as


    possible. Selena didn''t respond but Zaden nodded.


    “I read the manuscript. Its natural why you would think I killed Elisa but I didn''t. I loved her and will keep


    loving her till thest drop of my blood. Her parents told me she died from child birth. The letter was


    heart wrecking to me, too” he paused. Zaden tilted his head down. Selena remained hidden. A mumble


    came from her


    “He has my mother''s chain” Zaden looked up at Ozrain. He was wearing a gold chain. Ozrain zoomed


    to his neck and pulled out the heart hiatus locket.


    “This? This I got from a woman named Selena Brook” he let out a huffed chuckle


    “Or at least I thought she was Selena Brook, till I met you. I thought she was my daughter. She had this


    chain with her. It was Elisa''s, I gave it to her...” Selena slightly looked up from her hide out


    “I have been receiving tip from all over the world that my daughter or son is found. I have a friend


    working in DNA department in one of the prestigiousb, a werewolf too. They have branches all over


    the world. I had always collect blood samples from whoever that I went looking for and sent them to the


    nearestb branch. They will do the DNA sequence, send back to my friend, here. He will match is with


    my blood and Elisa''s blood profile retrieved from her belongings that I found in her forest hut. Elisa''s


    sample is very fragile, can''t be shipped elsewhere, you see. One day, he called me when I was in


    Australia. He said a weird woman came with a b of wood and ordered a DNA profile from that


    wooden piece. They found a match to Elisa''s blood. Then, the same woman came back with a blood


    sample to be matched with Elisa''s DNA and they matched...” Now Selena ispletely out of Zaden


    neck and they both are listening attentively.


    “I flew from Australia that night itself and got the weird woman''s address. We found her in a café. She


    had just walked into her car and drove away. We followed her and blocked her car in a secluded hill


    road. She was terrified at us. I walked to the driver''s window and she lowered it. The first thing that


    caught my eye was her gold hiatus locket”. Ozrain re-lived his encounter.


    …………………………………………………


    “Is this yours?” Ozrain asked, pointing at Daisy''s neck and she nodded frantically


    “Can I see it?” Ozrain asked again and she quickly took it off her neck and passed it to him. She


    thought they were thieves in coat and suit, and that they would leave once something valuable is given


    to them. She swallowed her saliva as anxiety peeks. Ozrain gazed on the locket and pushed the middle


    heart and a key popped out at the bottom. It is the key to Elisa Mitkoi''s wooden chest box, where


    Ozrain and Elisa have kept all the memories of them and their daughter.


    “Are you Selena Brook? The one who Elisa''s DNA matched to?” Ozrain asked. Daisy just realized what


    is this all about, they are not just thieves. They look dangerous and Selena is still a young girl who


    doesn''t know that she is a werewolf. Daisy couldn''t figure out either they are from the good side or bad


    side.


    “Finally, our search is over” someone mumbled from behind Ozrain and he nodded silently


    “We have been looking for you all over the world “ another one said. They have been looking for


    Selena? Daisy remained there frozen. What are they nning to do with her ones they find her? She


    must be worth a lot if the group in front of her has been looking all around the world for her. They were


    wearing coat and suit, which means they are rich. Could it be that they are here to capture her


    daughter, Selena and make money out of her? In a freak show? Or some sort of DNA study since the


    person in front of her has good connection with a DNAb.

    “Where is the chest box?” he asked. How did they know about the chest box? Daisy didn''t use it in


    DNA matching, how could they have known it? The box was right below her seat


    “It''s in the trunk” Daisy lied. Whatever their purpose is, she cannot give away her precious baby just


    like that. Ozrain stayed by her, gazing coldly at her while the other have moved to the car trunk. Tiny


    beads of sweat is now covered her forehead and neck.


    “Chief, we can''t open it” one said from the back and Ozrain, shifted his eyes temporarily to the car rear


    and back to Daisy.


    “You have to jiggle it a bit, with force” Daisy said and Ozrain moved away from her to try open the stuck


    trunk by himself. The minute he touched the car trunk, a screeching tire sound erupted and the car


    zoomed forward. In Daisy''s mind, she has to choose between her life and Selena''s. She pressed the


    gas pedal as hard as she could. In front of them were a cliff. Ozrain panicked and the his pack grabbed


    the car with full force. Their ws extended in order to anchor the car. Daisy pressed the pedal at full


    force now. Ozrain is also holding the car. It is hard for a machine to fight 5 werewolf''s strength. After


    such a fight, the car started coughing sts of dark smoke from the rear and it hit Ozrain and his pack


    right in their face. They started coughing but held on to the car. In a few second they started suffocating


    and the grip loosen a bit, zooming the car down cliff. Ozrain ran behind the car


    “NO!!!!” he screamed. His brain trying so bad to rewind a few minutes back but what has happened,


    had happened. Daisy crashed down the cliff, dead on the spot. Ozrain and his pack shift into


    werewolves and climbed down the cliff. They saw Daisy in the car with a wooden branch struck through


    her heart. Ozrain let out a screeching howl as he started attacking his own pack out of depression. The


    pack has gotten used to this, they took his fury in full force until he finally cked out.


    Ozrain slowly opened his eye that was tightly shut closed till now, reliving the most terrifying nightmare


    of his existence. His eyes are red as a drop of tear edges his lower eyeline, threatening to drop anytime


    now. Selena is back in Zaden’s neck, muffling her screams with her palms. Tears falling down in


    streams.


    “All these years...I had been searching all around the world, not for a heir to my kingdom, but a


    bloodline to call as my own family. Your mother might not be a resemnce of Amethyst or a werewolf,


    but she is still my bloodline, the tiny hope that I was looking for, all these years. My life is an inevitable


    mess. I have killed enough people in my quest for a family” Ozrain stood up and moved closer to


    Selena, who had recoiled in Zaden''sp and Zaden has hugged her as tight as possible, a much


    needed gesture at the moment. Ozrain ran his palm over her head


    “I have seen my daughter. My prayers have been answered. That is enough for me. You don''t need


    Samrat, you don''t need to be my daughter. You can stay here, as the queen of this small viges,


    where they will worship you, take care of you and let you be in peace with your own family. You don''t


    need me, my dear angel...” with that Ozrain turned by his heel and walked away from there.
