Chapter 137: Having My Revenge
Chapter 137: Having My Revenge
Helen
The only sound that could be heard at the dining table was the clanking of the cutlery against the plates. Nicholas joined us for, much to my dismay but it wasn't up to me. My mother had been staring daggers at me, I knew she was still mad over my little comment earlier.
"So, Helen." Nicholas tried to fill the awkward silence.
"Your father told me that you are yet to meet a match."
I didn't like where this conversation was heading, I am not in the mood for this.
"Yes and what is that you?"
"Helen," my mother reprimanded me.
"That is no way to speak to our guest." I rolled my eyes.
"This man isn't a guest, we are practically harboring a fugitive and you two are acting like this is all normal. I honestly don't know what you were thinking of allowing him into our Pack, father."
"Helen?" My father growled.
"You will either learn to behave or I will be forced to teach you a lesson."
"Will you hit me, father?"
"Don't tempt me," he bit out.
I was already pushing his buttons and I knew I needed to stop but for some reason, I couldn't seem to stop.
"Nicholas, how long do you plan on staying?" My mother is always the peacekeeper.
"Until we are able to execute our plan, Luna. I only need a few days to heal from the position that they put my body in and then Alpha Ronald and I will work on phase one of the plan."
"And what exactly is phase one?" I poked my carrot and pointed at him.
"The last plan you had fell through miserably and cost my father a lot of good hard-working men."
Nicholas narrowed his eyes at me, obviously very irritated. This man is one of the reasons I was in this current situation.
"I fell upon unfortunate circumstances the last time but this time, there is no one here to foil my plan. I will become Alpha and you will be my Luna."
I swear, I could have thrown up there and then. It would be a cold day in hell before I mated to Nicholas.
"Unfortunately, I cannot be your Luna because I already have a mate."
Everyone stopped eating and stared at me, this was the moment of truth.
"And who exactly is this mate you have chosen for yourself, Helen?"
With my head held high and my chest out, I looked father dead in the eyes.
"Bernard Joseph, he will be my mate seeing as he is the father of the child that I am currently carrying."
The room went silent, each of their faces had different varying expressions. Nicholas looked shocked and slightly disgusted, my father looked like he was ready to wring my neck and my mother looked like she was damn well near to fainting.
"What?" My father was the first to speak. I gulped, maybe this wasn't the best way to break the news but it was too late to run back now.
"I am pregnant, father and it is Bernard's."
I watched my father's face change about five different times. It went from shock to disbelief to upset to sadness to blazing hot anger.
"What do you mean you are pregnant, Helen? You are an unmarked and unmated she-wolf. There is no possible way that you can be pregnant unless you broke one of our most sacred laws."
Internally, I was trembling, my father was holding on by a very thin thread that was about to snap. I could see his eyes going from glowing to calm and then back again. His wolf was fighting him for control.
"It was an accident, father." I tried to explain.
"I was only meant to seduce him so he would stop thinking about that girl but then things escalated to a place we both couldn't come back from."
My mother shook herself out of her reverie and looked between my father and myself. I could tell she was still grappling with the idea that her daughter, the only child was unmated and pregnant.
"I did what I had to in order to keep the girl away from him. Unfortunately, all my attempts didn't work like I hoped they would, somehow, they always found their way back to each other."
"So, you degraded yourself by throwing yourself at a man who clearly did not want you? Have you no shame, Helen? We raised you better than this."
Their reactions were exactly what I had been expecting, I knew they would be angry and disappointed but eventually, they would get over it. They had to. My mother turned to my father.
"So, what do we do now? Bernard is mated to Elena and our daughter carries his first child. We cannot allow our daughter to be disgraceful in such a way, Ronald."
"She did this to herself! She decided to spread her legs for a man who clearly did not want her. Now, look at the mess she has created for us to clean up."
My eyes cut to Nicholas who had not said a single word this entire time. He was staring at me with an unreadable expression on his face. It was like he could see right through me, it was unnerving. I turned back to my father who seemed to be in a heated discussion with my mother through their mind link.
"I knew I messed up and I am so sorry for all of this. At that time, it seemed like the right idea but now I can see how senseless and idiotic this may be. Just give me the chance to fix this, I know I can fix this."
"And how do you plan on doing that, Helen?" My mother spat.
"I will get Bernard to make it with me. From what I heard, Bernard and Elena are waiting until their wedding night to complete the mate bond."
"As it should be," My mother interjected.
"Which means their bond isn't solidified. This means that Bernard is still able to take me as his mate and he will need to take me as his Luna seeing as I am carrying the firstborn child to his bloodline."
"Bernard is a noble man, if he makes you pregnant, he will own up to his responsibility and he will be there for you." Nicholas uttered for the first time.
"Does that mean he will make you? I am not sure because Bernard had proven to be quite unpredictable."
"He will have to mate Helen, there is no two ways about it. Otherwise, I am entitled to take some of his lands by the law." My father was fuming.
"How dare he dishonor you and then proceed to humiliate you in such a way. I will not stand for this."
"So, what will we do?" My mother asked.
"We will go to his Pack tomorrow and I will organize a meeting with Bernard. He must answer for his crimes."
Everyone hummed in agreement except Nicholas. I didn't care if he was on the same team as me, I would rather die than be married to a man like Nicholas. This was my only way out and I needed to grab it with both hands. No one would ever know the truth of who this pregnancy belonged to. My child deserves a chance at a luxurious life and I will give him that. My father stood up.
"We leave at dawn tomorrow morning."
He walked out of the dining table, he must probably be going for a run. His wolf was too close to the surface to be pushed back, he needed to release. Not long after, my mother left, leaving me with Nicholas and he was staring at me like I owed him.
"What is it, Nicholas?" He shrugged.
"I am only wondering how you managed to sleep with Bernard. Even drugged, that man would not sleep with anyone other than his mate. How far long you, Helen?"
"Three months," I blurted, I didn't even know the exact date but I knew that the timeline still matched.
"Why are you asking?"
"No reason at all." He stood up from his chair.
"Congratulations, Helen. You will make an amazing mother." He turned and left the dinner table.
It had been hard but phase one was finally complete now, it is time for phase two. I hoped everything flowed seamlessly and as expected.
Finally, my revenge was coming at last. Prepare yourself, Bernard, a storm is coming and her name is Helen Elison. I stood up and made my way to the room.
Tomorrow is a big day, I couldn't wait to see the look on Elena's face when I broke the news to her. I wanted her to feel the pain she had caused me. Karma is ready to serve.
