'Please, Kia." Harper was on her knees, her hands holding his legs tightly.
'Is the baby mine or not?" He looked ahead after asking her the question.
'Please." She repeated and he banged his hand on the wall.
'That is no answer to my question!" His lips were trembling as he looked at the woman he once loved with every fiber of his being.
Harper swallowed; she knew she had no chance with Liam anymore, so she wanted to do anything to get Kia to take her back.
Yes, she was pregnant for real, and no, the child wasn't Liam's; she just wanted to be the Luna of the pack. But seeing her competitor had an Alpha for a father already put her off track, there was no way in hell she could compete with that.
'The baby…" She held her stomach, tears rolling down her eyes.
'Yes? What happens to the baby?" He questioned.
'The baby, it is…yours." She whispered the last word.
'It is mine?" Kia bit his lower lip as tears threatened to fall off his eyes.
'Is that how ashamed you are of me?" Kia kicked her hands off him when she tried touching him again.
'No, no. It isn't what you think." She walked on her knees towards him.
'What is it then?" He questioned, looking at her tear-filled face.
'I was ashamed of myself."
'As you should be." He gave her a mocking smile. Harper felt a little hurt by his hard-heartedness, but that was the least of her worries at the moment.
'You were pregnant, yet you slept with him." Kia's voice cracked with sadness and anger.
'I was blinded by stupidity." Harper cried, sitting on her knees, her hands rubbing themselves.
'Remain blind then." He retorted.
He walked towards the window and stood by it with his hand in his pocket as he stared outside. He opened his mouth to talk but he choked on his words. Swallowing and clearing his throat, he tried talking again.
'So I was just a tool then?"
'What?" She got confused.
He turned towards her again, his eyes were cold. 'I was a tool to climb up the ladder of power." He wasn't asking this time, he was stating the fact.
'I…" She was lost for words.
'The baby is mine, cool. I won't reject my blood." Kia walked towards the unmade bed in his room and sat on it.
'What about me?" Harper's lips twitched.
'What about you?" He repeated.
'What happens to me?"
'What happens to you?"
Harper sat speechless on the floor, looking at Kia who just stared blankly at her.
'I'm sorry!" Harper shouted back with the same intensity, her puffy eyes producing more tears than required.
'Nothing happens to you. Birth the child and I will play my role as a father. As for you." He stared at her in the eyes.
'Do whatever you want with your life." He stood up and looked her up and down before heading towards the door.
'If you leave, I will die!" She stood immediately and shouted.
Kia paused, closed his eyes in frustration, and rubbed his forehead, expelling air from his lungs through his mouth he turned back to see her.
His eyes widened on their own accord when he saw her place the knife on her wrist.
'Really?" His eyes dulled.
'Do you think this is all for show and I won't do it?" She asked him, still in tears, her pulse quickened, but she held the knife tightly.
'Drop the knife." Kia wasn't pleading this time, he was ordering her.
'Take me back."
'Only a fool goes back to their vomit, drop the knife." He tightened his voice.
'I see you take me for a joke." She smiled like a crazed lady and raised the knife above her head, ready to plunge it into her tummy.
With his eyes wide and tremors going through him at the loss of his child-to-be, Kia blindly ran in as fast as he could to cover her tummy, only to get stabbed by the knife.
Groaning in pain, Kia's face tightened as he tried so hard not to shout out loud. Harper, on the other hand, screamed out, jumping out of the way and allowing Kia to fall on his stomach instead.
Blood spilled from his back and his eyes turned red. Harper thought blood would spill out of his eye too. Looking at her bloodstained and trembling hands, Harper could not stop the tremor that ran through her, she could not stop her scream. She screamed till her voice cracked painfully.
When the door flung open, and Serenity barged into the room to report what she had just witnessed, she was stunned to see Kia on the floor in the gradually growing pool of his blood while Harper stood by the side, trembling like a chicken drenched by the rain.
Serenity's eyes narrowed as she came to a sudden stop, her legs almost screeching on the tile. She looked at the unmoving Kia before widening her eyes at the guilty-looking Harper.
Striding towards Harper, she wrapped her hand around her neck before pushing her to the wall.
'What have you done!?"
'I don't know, I swear I don't know what happened or how it happened," Harper responded in a fit of panic, when she realized she could die by Serenity's hand, she feared for her life.
'He ran in. He…he…he just…ran…in. Swears." She choked on her spittle trying to respond to Serenity.
Harper felt she was in a horror scene when Kia's shoulders moved and using his hand as a support, he hoisted himself up. She began to scream, she was jumpy even with Serenity trying to strangle her.
'Shut the fuck up!"
'Do you think I'd let you go if you put up a show?"
'Ha! Guess what? I won't. You harm him and I will make sure you pay as much as possible till death do us part." Serenity's eyes were red with great anger.
She jumped when a hand that didn't belong to Harper touched her shoulder.
'Don't worry Serenity, I am all good," Kia told her, slowly taking down Serenity's hand from Harper's neck.
Watching him with shortened breath, Harper slipped into unconsciousness and fell hard on the floor when Kia reached out to his back and pulled out the knife stuck there like it was nothing.
Soon, blood began to flow out of her lap.
'My Baby!" Kia rushed to her, not caring about his bloodied state as she carried her out towards the ward.
'Your baby?" Serenity tumbled the question in her head as she thought of many possibilities.
