His Hidden Child

Chapter Thirty Six: Side Story Two (Jayden's Story)

Side Story 2:

It felt as though I was slowly suffocating through the jealousy that was seeping through me every time I

saw Isabella and Sin together.

The happiness I could never have belonged to the one person I had mused feeling about.

With Abigail's words eating away at me it was as though something slowly grew in me quite

unknowingly and by the time I'd realized, I had fallen too deep.

"Jayden!" I heard my name being called bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Leana?"

"Why do you look so surprised?"

Ah, she must've been the reason the couple was in such disarray earlier when they'd bumped into each

other.

"You've grown quite a lot, I almost didn't recognize you." I smiled as she walked closer to me. "You've

returned quite early don't you think?"

"Well, how could I stay far away when Sin is here?" she questioned as she wiggled her eyebrows at

me.

I couldn't help but sigh. It seemed she didn't learn of his mate, and she'd come back with hopes and

expectations.

"Are you not aware?" I asked carefully

"Aware of what?" she asked as she furrowed her eyebrows.

For a moment I thought about whether to break the news to her right here and now, or just give it to her

slowly, but either way, she was going to find out, even if it wasn't from me, we were within castle walls.

"What us it Jay? Did something happen while I was away?" she questioned concerned.

"Well, he's found his mate," I said as she seemed quite taken a back.

"Mate?"

"Yes, he's mated to someone else."

By looking at her face for a moment it felt like her entire world was crashing down and she didn't know

what to do.

"I know it's hard to accept, but it is what fate has decided," I said trying to console her.

"Who is it? Is she someone renowned? A woman of higher status than me or you? What role does she

play in society?" she questioned hastily.

"The daughter of a baker is whose become the mate of you previous Sin," I said,

Not understanding why the words had left my mouth, but they did, and there was nothing more I

wanted to do than to continue to spout things that would anger her rather than console her.

What was I trying to achieve? A little bit of relief? A fight? Or for Isabella to leave him for me? I didn't

know.

What had drawn me to the woman who was not of our status? Was it her pearly white smile that sat on

her face turning her eyes into crescents? Her hair, that shine vrightly in the dark and light? Her voice?

Or perhaps it was because she belonged to Sin and I wanted noting more than to take what was his

abd claim as mine. I didn't know, but there was just something alluring about her and her continuous

kindness had allowed a seed of doubt to grow in my mind.

All the 'could haves' turned into 'perhaps' and a small spark grew in me to turn things around.

"A lowly commoner? She dares?"

"What can you do Lea, a mate is once in a lifetime," I said, "you cannot change it,"

"Does this not seem weird to you Jay? There is no way the moon goddess would have paired a

character King, like Sin himself with a woman who is not of a similar kind. She must have done

something," Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

"Done something?"

"Perhaps you'd cast a spell? Enchanted him? Or perhaps temptation?" Leana spoke nonsense.

"There's no such thing, her scent caught his nose and he claimed her like any other Werewolf,"

Lillian scoffed at my words, "What's wrong with you?" she questioned, "Did she bewitch you too?"

"What are you getting at?"

"Don't tell me a lowly person such as herself sold herself to you, body wise I mean..."

I couldn't help but feel a little angry, "She's not that kind of person, don't speak of her like that." I

warned.

"Mother-in-law must be surprised by this, I'm sure she thinks the same, I'll go talk to her," Lillian said as

she walked off toward Abigail's quarters.

A woman whose dignity is her life, that was who Isabella was. But I couldn't help but slightly fantasize

about her, only if she were mine.

But what if I could make her... Mine...
