Chapter 21

"Why?"Kai was broken instantly, " how could you do this to me, you are the reason I am in this condition", she couldn't hold herself, the king came to her on a mating night disguised as her mate.

    She saw him transform when she knew she had mated with the king and ever since she hasn't summoned the courage to tell her husband, the day she found out that she was pregnant, she decided to take her life, but the thought of killing her offspring with her hands saddened her.

     Her mate found out that she was pregnant and pampered her so much, but guilt killed her within, she never told the king the outcome of his selfish decision, the king was known for mischief, and he does as he pleases, now he is planning to kill her child, how heartless can he be.

      Maybe that's why he doesn't have a mate, because of his cruelty, everyone beneath the ocean has a mate, and he was the only one without a mate, and now he has come to ruin my life," kai, if you don't do as I say, your mate will die, and you would be responsible for his death, so choose wisely" then he dismissed her, Kai was speechless, 

      She had to think of something, either her mate or her child. She loves her mate very well and has also promised herself that she would bring her child to this world even if it costs her life, the day turned into weeks and weeks into months.

    Kai, gave birth to a girl, she had mixed emotions when she saw her first child, she was happy and sad, she was happy that she has finally given birth, she held her baby like a treasure she wasn't willing to share with anyone, her mate was so happy to see his first child if only he have known that the child he held wasn't his, the case might be different.

    Kai was sad because she had to sacrifice, her child for the king, she wasn't ready, neither willing to obey the king, after childbirth, she was summoned by the king," kai, where is your child", she didn't answer just bowed her head, Kai!! he yelled, she flinched, " she's with my mate," she said with so much pain.

        "Kill her and bring her lifeless body to me", she couldn't believe what she heard, it took time absorbing it, she froze at a spot, until the guards came to carry her out of the palace, she was lost, she stared at a non-existing object, she screamed within her, she was lost, heartbroken, she had to kill her child with her hands.

    Ever since she held her baby, she felt a connection, and her mate was so happy to see his assumed first child. The king sent her an impossible task. She had to think of something quickly, " I can't let my child die, no no never!!!"

       She went back to her mate, and her baby, she had come up with a plan, to save her mate and also her child, though she had not done it in her two hundred years of existing, she went to the shore of the ocean, she had never been outside the water, she made sure to come out very late at night, not to draw attention to herself.

       If not the king would be aware, of her presence, if any human spot her, some greedy humans pass information to him," the humans have no control" she said, she was planning on sending her child's soul into the world, she came out, with her heart pounding very loud, she hid beside a rock when she heard a male voice, then she peeked, through it.

          She saw a tall dark-skinned man, it was the first time seeing a dark skinned human, or any human, she choked when she saw him walking towards her direction, she froze at a spot," did he see me"?
