FREIDA WHITLOCK

Lyra’s laughter didn’t stop. She continued knowing well it could get to every nerve in Georgina’s body. And I loved it. The look on the duo’s faces was to live for. I don’t think I had seen Georgina more infuriated as she was the the moment.

By this time, Cisco had stopped crying and was hiccuping. For the both of us, we had calmed down knowing Lyra was here on our behalf.

“What do you think, that you can go around implicating peop. and not get called out for it?” Lyra asked, her tone mocking.

I looked up.

Georgina wasn’t dealing well with it and fueled by Lyra’s words, she turned to the poor nurse who seemed to shudder at the sight of the angry woman

“What do you mean by that? Are you accusing me of the charade she started?” She fumed, “I’m sure she must’ve paid you off to come here and insult me” She cast Lyra a demeaning glance.

Lyra wasn’t bothered, she glared back, unyielding.

The nurse shook her head, “It wasn’t an accusation ma’am, I only stated the fact which is there had been commotion here before her arrival. She has nothing to do with this”

Safiya scoffed and rolled her eyes.

“I don’t think you know how to do your job properly. You don’t question people how they handle their matters, what you do is make sure they get taken care of which is not the case with my granddaughter. How come she’s still not awake? Can you tell me that?” Georgina yelled and the nurse sighed.

“Ma’am please stop shouting. There are other patients around trying to get some rest. And it’s also a school, the students might get distracted”

Lyra started laughing again upon hearing the nurse’s words. It was logical to know that the classrooms were not near the infirmary at all. All the nurse was trying to do without coming off rude was try to stop Georgina from yelling. However, one could feel her frustration. Her fists were balled by her sides as she kept a calm face.

Very professional. I respect her more for that.

“Are you insinuating that my mom is causing a commotion in the school?” Safiya asked through gritted teeth.

“Who else do you expect her to confront other than this lady filled with bully genes?” Lyra spoke before the nurse could respond and they gasped.

“Lyra…” I called softly, cautioning her with my voice. I loved that she cared and was standing up for me but I think she was going too far. No matter what, Safiya was she Luna and disrespect like this could cause her a lot. Safiya already had bad blood with us and was looking for every means to harm us. This would be the height of it.

Chapter 61:

I didn’t want to lose my friend because of a tiny issue that Safiya had purposely blown up.

“I think that bravery of yours would be wiped off soon. I won’t let this slide, you b**h!”

“I truly can’t wait to see what you do. I dare you to try, I swear, I’ll snap your bony neck off your body!” Lyra retorted and Georgina’s eyes flashed with fury. Her wolf was not taking it anymore and I felt Gia slowly creep out of her shell. I guess she could feel the tension and menacing presence of Georgina’s wolf.

She was ready for a fight but I didn’t want that especially when Cisco was frozen in my arms out of horror.

“Please ladies-” The nurse was rudely cut off by Georgina’s angry snap, “Shut up!”

The heated exchange between the three of them continued with the nurse in between pleading with them to stop. It was so loud that I was having a headache. No matter how much I tried to calm Lyra down she didn’t want to listen. Cisco’s hold tightened around me and he buried his face in my chest and began to cry again.

This was too much for me to bear.

Their exchange paused at Kaiden’s sudden entry into the ward. He didn’t look pleased as she gazed at everyone in the room.

“What’s going on here?” His voice thundered across the room, his eyes flickering between the usual normal color of his eyeballs. His wolf was having it, he wanted control. The nurse quickly scrambled out of the room. She must think we were

mentally unstable. Maybe we were and I bet she’d never forget that interaction ever. Who would?

“Ask your mother-” A glare from Kaiden shut Lyra up at once.

He faced Georgina and she smiled feeling she had him on her side. Safiya looked happy as well but their excitement was shattered when he spoke.

“I could hear your voice while on my way up. Why the hell were you yelling knowing well that your granddaughter is in the room and would be getting some rest?

“She started it by insulting my daughter, your wife. I just wanted to put some sense in her head”

Georgina said and Lyra hissed, aloud before walking out.

“Get out!” Kaiden ordered when Lyra was out. He turned to Georgina who seemed clueless at the command.

“What?” She asked when she realized she was the one being sent out.

How did she not know earlier?

“You’re asking me to leave? I’m here to see my granddaughter” Georgina seemed scared when he glared at her, the aura of his wolf intimidating. She shrunk back fearfully.

It was a sight to behold since Georgina had been acting all high and mighty. Who knew she could also be scared of someone?

“Kaiden” She called, sounding surprised. “Leave, immediately” He spat and she hurried out of the room.

Gia laughed, squealing the fact that her mate

so hot asking her to leave which was absurd because I didn’t find any of that alluring. He was a d**k for all I cared.

“Kaiden, why did you send my mother out? She did nothing wrong other than ask who harmed Harper” Safiya confronted him, rounding the bed to come to his side. Meanwhile, Kaiden tucked his hands in his pockets as he stared back and forth between Cisco and me.

There was a flicker in his eyes I almost missed and his forehead creased. When his eyes rested on Cisco, he frowned deeply.

“She was yelling” Calmly, he responded to Safiya who was now tugging at his arm.

Gia scoffed in my head seeing the action. I looked away to ignore them.

“She was too. It’s her fault mom had to yell” Safiya told him, pointing at me.

Kaiden’s eyes didn’t leave Cisco who was in my arms. He didn’t seem to hear his wife blaming me for her overboard actions. Safiya noticed he wasn’t listening and snapped, “Kaiden, I’m talking to you, look at me, and in case you’ve forgotten, your daughter is right here!”

He sighed, wearily. “Safiya, I know our daughter is over there but can you see the condition of others for once? The boy is

obviously traumatized because of the vile exchange of words he had to listen to”

“And whose fault is it? His mother’s!” She snapped and looked at him only to find his eyes glued to Cisco by my side. Her face dropped briefly in disappointment and a flash of sadness before

returning to a full-on mask of anger and hate.

Again, I felt bad for her. Again, I didn’t blame her but Kaiden. He was the only one to be blamed.

After all the problems he had caused, he was making the same mistake again. When would he learn?

“Do you care about that boy so much that you’ve forgotten about our daughter? You haven’t even looked at her since your got here. What is wrong with you, Kaiden?” She yelled.

“Safiya, unlike you who is heartless, I care about him and there’s nothing that can be done about it He blurted nonchalantly and her shoulders slumped. She looked shocked, defeated, and hopeless at once.

Subconsciously, I clutched Cisco close to me. I felt pity for her. I didn’t want to imagine myself in her position because from the looks of it, it sucked and Kaiden had no idea it did.

Staring at him in disbelief, she cast me a glance that sent chills down my spine. It was a dark look I had never seen on her face before. It got me scared for what was to come. She picked up her phone and brushing against Kaiden’s shoulder angrily, stormed out of the ward.
