Abigail Was A Bastard

••• Lina’s POV ••• “How’s Abi’s condition?” I asked the doctor with my index finger tapping his desk, showing him how impatient I was. It had been a few days, and they hadn't told me whether Abigail could be discharged or not. “Abigail and her baby are both fine,” the doctor reassured me and added with a nervous smile, “But we can't discharge her yet.” Still the same answer… “Thank you, doctor,” I nodded at him and left his office. I went back to Abi’s ward and stopped before entering with my hand on the door handle. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath to calm myself down, but I still couldn't curb the urge to give her a good slap for once again ruining my what should be perfect plans. Opening the door, I saw her lying on the bed weakly, and instead of feeling sorry for her, it increased my annoyance toward her. I sat on the chair next to her bed and glared at her. “Mom…” she looked at me with guilt. “I’ve told you many times not to use too much of that ‘perfume’ to infuriate Bella’s wolf,” I scolded her. “What if she knows about it? Once she knows that it was the ‘perfume’ that made her wolf lose control, our plans will be ruined!” Abi’s eyes started to fill with tears as I pointed out her mistakes. “You can't use it anytime you want,” I hissed at her. “Besides, I asked you to seduce Alpha Maximillian, but you have Shawn’s child instead?” Alpha Maximillian was my real target, yet Abi stupidly chose a weak and pathetic Alpha like Shawn. How useless! Abi started to cry and said, “I have no choice but to do this, Mom! Max is just too difficult to seduce!” Looking at the way she cried, I became more anxious. Too difficult to seduce? Then what about Princess Arabella? She was now married to Alpha Maximillian, and she had no experience in seducing any he-wolves! Could it only be because she was an Alpha Princess and Alpha Maximillian chose her because of her title? It might if I didn't know how he never needed to use a connection to win the Alpha King title. He had never shown any interest in any she-wolf before Princess Arabella... Could it be that he had fallen for her? Abigail could seduce him with her ‘fragility’ and arouse the man’s urge to protect her, but she couldn’t. And it couldn't be because she was an Omega since I knew Alpha Maximillian had a thing for Omegas - he was protective toward Omegas, and that should be the best weapon to use. To put it simply, Abigail was just too stupid and weak! I really wanted to slap her, but I had to pretend to be nice. I took a deep breath and tried to appear nice and motherly, as she still had some use to me. I touched her face with a gentle smile and forced myself to apologize, “I’m sorry, Abi. But you know how important this is for me. What you need to do from now on is just listen to my command and don't do anything else. This is the only way you can help in taking revenge for your father, who was killed by Bella’s parents many years ago.” She nodded in understanding and said, “I’m sorry, Mom. Please give me one more chance. I won't do anything rash from now on. I’ll listen to your instructions.” I hugged her and told her gently, “That’s my baby girl.” Then I pulled back and wiped her tears away. “Alright. Now rest. I still have some things to do.” I helped her to lie back on the bed and covered her with the blanket. “Thank you, Mom,” she smiled at me. After giving her a quick kiss on her forehead, I stood up and went out of her ward. Once outside, I changed my look. I felt disgusted to pretend to be nice and motherly to her, but this was what I needed to do. Abigail wasn't my daughter. She was the bastard of my mate with another she-wolf. Imagined how disgusting it was for me to hold her in my arms and pretend to love her. Many years ago, my mate was a member of a mafia pack. Yes, he was a gangster… However, he died during a battle at the Hunting Wood, killed by the current Alpha King - Alpha Hayden, while I got away. Not long after, I found out about Abigail, the daughter of my mate with another she-wolf. I hated her. I hated her existence. She was a living proof of my mate’s infidelity toward me, and I wanted so badly to rip her into shreds. But my hatred toward her was not as intense as my hatred toward King Hayden. I hated King Hayden more for killing my mate. After knowing how the royal family loved to sponsor orphans, I thought of a plan to use the bastard baby, and so I decided not to kill her. I purposely dropped her at one of the orphanages sponsored by the royal pack in the hope for her to be accepted as one of the royal pack’s members. Then, I kept escaping as a rogue. Fortunately, during my escape, I met some witches, and they were willing to teach me some magic, including black magic. Years later, I found out that King Hayden’s eldest twin had died and that Abigail had become the Princesses’ good friend. She didn't disappoint me in that aspect. Not only did she become a member of the royal pack, but she was also trusted by the royal family for trying to save the first princess, though she failed in the end. When I heard that news, I thought it was time for me to start working on my plan. I found Abi secretly and told her I was her mother, and her father was killed by King Hayden. Fortunately, she was stupid and believed my every word. I told her to keep gaining Bella’s trust but at the same time not to forget about taking revenge for her dad. Abi should thank me for not killing her and giving her a chance to live a good life, but she ruined my plans instead. Things seemed to be out of control now. Abi successfully took away Princess Arabella’s mate, Shawn. However, she was not together with Alpha Maximillian! Alpha Maximillian was a dangerous man, and I could feel it when I met him for the first time, even more so when he stood up for Princess Arabella and threatened to kill me off easily and disposed of my corpse, like I was nothing. We could’ve gotten a powerful Alpha on our side if not for Abi’s incapabilities. He would be the most perfect pawn for me to execute my plans, but that stupid whore's daughter had to ruin it for me! Because of Abi’s incapabilities, we might have gained another powerful enemy instead. I took another deep breath and looked around from the corner of my eyes. I knew Princess Arabella had put some guards to monitor the hospital, and I had used some black magic to block the ward in order for my conversation with that whore’s daughter not to leak. If anyone listened, they would think we only have casual mother-daughter conversations. Abi's staying in the hospital made it difficult to implement my plans. Such a stupid she-wolf... But what did I expect from the daughter of a she-wolf who dared to get pregnant with someone else’s mate? And she was just like her mother, thirsty for something that didn't belong to her. She didn't even hesitate when I asked her to seduce Alpha Maximillian, who was single and unmated. I told her about Alpha Maximillian’s curse and how she could get him since he would need a mate to break his curse, but she couldn't get such a simple thing done. Abi was just as slutty as her mother, who chose to seduce someone else’s mate instead of finding an unmated he-wolf. In the end, despite my instructions, Princess Arabella was the one who ended up mated to Alpha Maximillian while she ended up with a weak-ass Alpha who couldn't even run for the Alpha King title because Princess Arabella had announced to everyone that he chose Abi and let go of his chance to get the title. What was the use of Shawn now, then? But then, maybe this was a good thing for me. Princess Arabella had lost control during Abigail and Shawn’s engagement party, and some werewolves had already thought badly of her and her parents. It would be better if Abigail lost her baby and made Princess Arabella into a murderer, but we could still make do with the current situation. We could still sue her for attempted murder. Thinking of how happy King Hayden was now, having everything a he-wolf could have - a powerful and beautiful wife, a royal pack, an equally beautiful daughter, and a powerful son-in-law, my hatred toward him had become unbearable. I had a new plan in mind based on the current situation - I wanted Princess Arabella and her family, the royal family, to be infamous. I looked down to hide the evil smirk that was forming on my face. Let’s see how they would get out of this situation. I rummaged through my bag and took my phone, scrolling through the internet to find the werewolf’s committee’s phone number and dialing it on my phone. “Hello, this is Abigail’s mother. I have a surveillance video as evidence for what Princess Arabella did to my daughter…”
