I'm three months pregnant well two months and two weeks and a couple of days but I'm saying I'm three months and I have a little round belly so you know what that means Mama here has to find a new dress for the masquerade ball.

But that means everyone has to change everything. No, I'll just we're a girdle it will flatten my stomach and I'll be good.

'Knock knock knock'

I wonder who it could be the girls aren't coming in today.

I went towards the door open it and when I did I regretted because next thing I know Xavier was there with the elders right behind him. But one thing he didn't know was that the elders or below me I was higher than them so they have to respect me. so as paying me with their respect they went on one knee and said my queen and left.

Xavier was astonished as the elders disappeared. Then he turned towards me and asked a question I never want to answer.

"Who are you? "

"Maybe you never paid attention in history class but I'm Your QUEEN. "

"what do you mean? you're not the Queen. you're noteven immortal. Your human."

"look I don't have all day so either you leave or I make you."

My eyes change from its natural brown color to charcoal black he saw that my eyes change, he took two steps back.

"no, you can't be.your just a human. I've known ever since I met you."

I walked out and grabbed him by his neck and pulled him in and pushed him against the wall.

then I released my hand around his neck but I kept my grip on there as if somebody was holding him and I made it go tighter and tighter and tighter to where he was choking he kept saying my name telling me to stop like the day I told him to start the day I was begging for my life.

"please stop."

"nope. you came into my house threatened me? you're going to feel what I felt all these years."

it went on for five minutes until Corvina walked in

"Mommy what are you doing."

I couldn't answer her. how am I supposed to tell her that this is her dad and I'm hurting him with my magic? making him feel all the pain that he put me through all these years.

"Is he the man that hurt you is he the one that gave you the boo-boo."

'Sigh'

"yes, baby but I need you to go with your aunt Jackie to the back OK."

"OK"

She left I was in relief but I was still mad with him so when she walked out of the room everything started back up again and he started saying no no please stop but all my frustration are the pain everything I feel just came flooding towards him.

that went on for 10 minutes I have to get him out of here because if I brought up the past not only it would hurt him but it would also hurt me.

"if I were you I would leave. NOW!"

"I want to see them and want them to know they have a father can't you at least let them know."

"oh trust me they know and they disapprove of you they asked me who did this to me and I told them and they said I don't love daddy he's mean I didn't even have to tell the to not love you. that happen all on their own."

He had a defeated look I thought he was gonna be angry but I guess not he was sad and I could tell because he was crying and I could feel his pain. I wanted to hug him I want to kiss his pain away but I have to hold myself I had to say no.

"Is that why she said is he the one that hurt you."

if he was in his wolf form he would probably have a tail between his legs and his head down because right now his head is down in shame and he is literally crying I felt bad for him his daughters don't want to see him they don't love him because he hurt their mother.

"tell me this how would it feel if your father almost killed your mother how would it feel if you knew your mother was alive after so many years but didn't know where she was. Huh. tell me. how would you feel? because however, the way you feel is the way your daughters feel 10 times worse."

"I didn't mean to hurt you. I love you and I hope you know that. I didn't want you to have this life. I wanted you to live a normal life."

"Sigh"

"I don't."

he looked flabbergasted like saying what the hell did you say.

"what do you mean? you don't love me or something."

"no, I love you but not at this very moment you have ruined me and I don't know. now all I have to say is that you're gonna have to pick up all the pieces."

"I hurt you I understand that. Hell, I almost even killed you but is there a way you can forgive me, please."

I Scoffed at him

"you think that's the only thing I'm upset about. that you killed me and left me to die. you are my mate. you're supposed to be faithful to me but no you go have sex with other women. Oh, what did you think I didn't feel any of it. Well, I felt it for two years straight until I could get my powers And stopped every feeling I got from you."

"I was in agony and I needed to put my sorrows away."

"Well, you sure did a good job at it because you broke me to where I babe no feelings whatsoever except for my daughters. That's why they call me Queen Luciana."

"I'll fight for you. I hope you know I love you."

"I know I can feel it."

"Then let me go. Please. I'm not here to hurt you. "

Tristen pleaded while being held up against the wall

"Then tell the whore goodbye."

"What are you talking about?"

"You know what I'm talking about the one you've been fucking around with."

He didn't say anything so I kept talking

"If you really wanted this then stop all interaction."

"If I do will I have a chance?

I laughed a very dry but serious deadly laugh.

"No sweetheart, you have to earn this. You can't just walk into our lives and expect me to take you back.so no I will not get with you."

"Why?"

"That's all your gonna ask. You're not even gonna ask when can I see my kids or is there something that I can do."

While I talked to him I made him have the pain I felt from giving me the scars and seeing the betrayal of him having sex with other women.

"When will I be able to meet my children and is there something that I can do for us?"

I didn't have trust in Tristen but I love him so my heart says one thing and my brain says another but I have to set the boundaries

"When I feel like it , that's when."

"You told me to ask so what the fuck do you mean. When you feel like it."

"Yeah, when I feel like it. Do you understand do you want to know why."

"Yes, I would like to know."

"It's because you're stupid ass cheated knowing you still well had a mate so I guess the next best thing was to be a douche an bring the elders here. they know who I am so your plan was a disaster. The great Queen Luciana, but you didn't know that because you had to be the big bad alpha and up your ego."

Tristen growled in response so I growled back but since I'm a royal my growl is worse

"Don't you ever growl at me? Do you understand? "

My eyes changed color and my voiced went to the Queen voice

"Get on your knees"

"But..."

"I said get on your knees!"

He got onto his knees and I could hear Vincent whimper from the inside from the disrespect his human did to his queen and mate.

"Let me talk to Vincent."

He wanted to argue but he agreed at the end. He breathes in and out. Closed his eyes and then open them

"I'm sorry my queen. It wasn't my fault it was this stupid humans fault. Please forgive me."

He started to cry but I stopped and told him to stand up

"Vincent. Hey. Hey. hey look at me it's ok. And I know it's not your fault it's my stupid mate's fault."

He nodded his head and cleaned his tears

"But Ximena she doesn't love me anymore. I can feel it and that means you too."

Oh lord, that's when he started to cry more I had to do something to stop him from crying. I decided to hit him and tell him it's ok and she still loves him

"Just because you don't feel the love from Ximena doesn't mean she doesn't love you and Vincent you will always have a place in my heart "

After I said those words I saw a big huge smile on his face. Which made me smile in return but then he kissed me. Yeah, ladies and gentlemen, he kissed me. I mean it's Tristen body but right now Vincent is in tristens mind talking and moving and I can't kiss Ximena mate. Besides that, I haven't kissed another man since the accident.

"No. Stop! You love Ximena, not me."

He frowned but smiled then hugged me

"either way You have a place in my heart too."

"Thank u for being cheesy I needed that but I think it's time for Tristen to come back."

He made puppy eyes

"That won't work on me sorry."

"Worth the shot. Love you Braelyn."

"Love you too. Now you have to go. Goodbye Vincent."

"Goodbye my Queen"

I froze hearing those words come out of his lip sounded Wierd.

Next thing I know is he gave me a peck on the cheek and closed his eyes and opened them and they were back to normal I was still frozen until I felt something on my cheek and stepped back

"I need you to leave my house."

"I will if you answer two questions."

I just nodded

"Why would you rather talk to Vincent than me? and second, why didn't you kiss him. "

He was curious and I knew I had to give him answers.

But how is the answer...

"I'll tell you what you want to know tomorrow but you need to leave."
