Betrayed Heiress: My Second Chance Mate is A Lycan King

Richard’s POV

I am not sure I am having fun anymore.

This is not fun; this is scary. Is this how all birthdays are?

I didn’t want to celebrate my birthday, and because of this, I never want to celebrate any more. Why are there so many scary people? And why does this scary lady look just like my mummy? She wanted to use that knife on me, and I am sure it would have been very painful.

But then I went flying into Daddy’s arms. I didn’t know I could fly.

I wonder if I could make myself, Mummy, Daddy, and Adira fly out of here. Everyone was so scared, and it was because of these strange people. I just want them to go away.

I never wanted a party; I just wanted to spend today with Mummy and Adira, and maybe Daddy. He was scary sometimes, but I did like staying with him; he liked talking to me and was nice to me. But I see the way he treated other people, and it wasn’t nice at all.

I will never forget the night. Adira and I wanted a glass of water, and she was too scared to go downstairs alone. So I went to get some for us instead. Before I got to the kitchen, I heard this strange noise, and it was very scary.

I wanted to run back to my room, but I also wanted to know who was making that scary sound. It sounded like the person was in pain. Maybe I could have helped them or called Mummy to help them. So I went to search for the person screaming.

It came from the scary hallway. Mummy and Daddy told Adira and me to never go down. I wanted to turn back again, but the person’s scream got so loud it made me cry. But Aunt Carla always said I was a brave boy and that I was very strong.

She said I could do things other people couldn’t and that I was special. So I thought that I could do it. I thought I could help the person in pain. I was brave; I didn’t need to be scared. So I went down the dark and scary hallway. The screaming came from a big metal door.

I was still feeling a bit scared, so I opened the door quietly, and what I saw made me cry. It was Daddy; he looked like a monster. The type Aunt Carla used to talk about in the stories. He was covered in sweat, blood, and dirt.

But I do not think the blood was his because he looked just fine. Then I saw the man on the chair crying. He didn’t have an eye, and he was covered in so much blood. He was crying and begging Daddy to stop hurting him, but daddy didn’t stop. Daddy told him to be quiet, but he just kept on screaming. Then Daddy kept using that big knife on him until the man kept quiet.

I guess he finally decided to listen to Daddy.

But that still wasn’t very nice.

I knew Daddy would be angry at me if he saw me there, so I ran back to my room, after getting Adira her water, of course. I wasn’t thirsty anymore.

I never told anyone about what I saw that night. I just saw Daddy as a meanie and stopped talking to him. I didn’t like him very much, even though he was still very nice to me.

But today, I held on to him so tight as I cried. I have never wanted to be so close to him as I am right now.

Daddy told me to cover my eyes and ears, but I would sometimes take a peek, and my hands on my ears weren’t that tight, so I could still hear what they were saying. The scary people were still there, and they were taking Adira away from Mummy.

“Don’t you dare touch her, you monsters!” Mummy screams, and I hated it. She had tears in her eyes, and I didn’t like it. I have never seen Mummy cry before; it made me want to cry.

Why are these scary people doing this? I just wanted them to go away. I didn’t like them. Not one bit.

“I will rip your hand off if you touch my son!” Daddy yells, and then Mummy starts screaming. One of the scary men had his hand around Mummy’s throat. He was holding her very tight, and it looked like she was in a lot of pain.

“Give us the boy or I will snap her neck right in front of you and your children!” the man holding Mummy’s neck said.

He will snap Mummy’s neck. That is not nice! Why would they do such a thing?

One of the scary ladies takes me from Daddy, but I still hold onto his shirt. I didn’t like crying, but I did this time. Aunt Carla always told me I was strong, and strong people didn’t cry. But I didn’t feel so strong right now. I was scared. I just wanted things to go back to how they were. I didn’t like any of this.

“No! I want to stay with Daddy!” I scream as the woman tears me away from Daddy, who just let go of me. He kept telling me he is sorry and that everything will be okay, but it didn’t feel like everything was okay. “No! I don’t want to leave Daddy!” I scream, and then she hits my head.

It hurts.

It hurts really bad.

I opened my mouth and let out a cry. A scary sound suddenly fills the room, and I have heard something like it once before on the television. It was what angry beasts sounded like. But where did it come from?

Someone spoke, and it sounded like mummy, but at the same time it didn’t.

“How dare you lay your hands on my son!”

Mummy’s eyes started to glow, and it was so cool. I have never seen anything like it before. I didn’t know she could do it. Soon the rest of her body started glowing, and she looked like a superhero.

It became very windy too.

But then the man holding Mummy’s throat stabs her with a needle! It looked like one the doctor usually had whenever Adira was feeling sick. I never got sick. Like Aunt Carla said, I was a strong boy. Where is she now? I thought Mummy and Adira went to look for her.

I wish she was here to help.

Mummy’s eyes and body stopped glowing. She also stopped moving.

I didn’t like it. I didn’t like it.

“What did you meanies do to my mummy?” I ask the lady holding me, but she smacks me again. It hurt so bad. The tears that filled my eyes were hot, and it hurt my eyes. It hurt a lot.

“Be quiet!” She screams at me.

I hated her.

“Go away!” I scream as loud as I can, and the scariest thing happens.

The second I screamed her head flew away from her body. And then her body fell on the fall.

Everyone was quiet; they all looked at me like I was the monster.

“How did you do that, Richard?” Adira asks with her eyes so wide. She looked at me like I was a hero. I think this is why Aunt Carla always told me I was strong and special.

So I could protect Adira. I am her hero.

“I don’t know,” I said, looking at the lady’s body and her head on the other side of the room.

Creepy.

“Close your eyes, Richard!” Daddy yelled at me, but I didn’t. Why will I close my eyes when all the scary-looking people are coming after me?

“Kill him!”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Richard run!” Daddy said, but I didn’t want.

“No, I am not going to run! Aunty Carla said I am brave and strong. And brave and strong people don’t run!”

I can do this.

I won’t let these people make Mummy sad again.
