Chapter 218
Zayn pov
She stared at me as though I had just uttered the most terrifying thing in the world, her eyes wide, fear etched across her face as she stumbled a step back. In that moment, I knew, she was reliving the flashbacks. The day I advanced toward her with a dagger. The day she had begged me to spare her and her unborn child. The day she tried to convince me that what I was doing would destroy Darius. But I hadn’t listened. I hadn’t hesitated before driving the blade straight into her stomach.
Ahh, I remembered that day as clearly as if it were yesterday. The memory made me smile, watching the same fear and helplessness take hold of her again now. As I stepped closer, she retreated three steps back, hands raised in front of her as if to shield herself, stammering in terror.
“Don’t come closer!” she screamed, her gaze fixed nervously on me. All the confidence she’d carried moments ago was gone in an instant. What stood before me now was the same girl from that night, backing away, pleading for her life.
I chuckled, halting my steps, watching her mutter to herself as her hands clutched her stomach, a single tear sliding down her cheek.
“It’s not possible. It can’t be… you’re not him. You’re not Dalton.”
Her broken whisper only made my laughter deepen. Tilting my head, I spoke softly, mockingly.
“Are you trying to convince yourself, or me, Nyssa? Do I scare you that much?”
I stepped closer, her trembling eyes locked on mine. Her body screamed to run, yet her feet remained frozen to the ground.
“I still remember the way you opened the door for me that day,” I continued. “You were surprised to see me, but then you smiled and let me in, clueless of what was coming. You were friendly, too kind… because just like my bastard brother, you felt guilty. Guilty that he stole my throne, my crown. You played nice… until you saw the dagger.”
With each word, I drew nearer. Yet she did not move, only stared at me with a dazed expression as more tears streaked down her face.
“You dropped the act then,” I spat. “You pleaded with me, begged me not to do it. Said Darius would never forgive me. That he would hate me. ‘He is your brother,’ you said. ‘Don’t hurt us like this… please.”
My voice grew louder, mocking, as I repeated her words as though I had heard them only yesterday.
“Please… please don’t do this. Please, Dalton, I’m pregnant, think about my unborn child.”
I laughed harshly. “Haha! I can still picture that pathetic look on your face, it was ridiculous!” I spat.
“But oh, goddess… it was the sound of my blade sinking into your flesh, again and again, that made me truly happy! I would give anything to hear that sound again. It felt so good, taking from him something he held dear, just as he took from me!”
Chapter 218
The moment the words left my mouth, she finally snapped out of her daze. Her scream tore through the air as she lunged at me, claws bursting from her fingers and slashing toward me.
“You evil bastard!”
I dodged quickly, startled by her speed, so fast her figure blurred. If not for my sharp reflexes, her claws might have torn my throat open. Leaping back, I smiled, amused.
“Damn, you’ve gotten faster. Is it because of your wolf? I’ve never seen a white wolf before. Why don’t you shift… let me take a look?” I teased, but she didn’t find it funny. Instead, she lunged again, this time even faster.
I tilted my body back and to the side as she slashed at me with both hands, trying to land a strike. I had to admit she was strong and fast, but she lacked basic combat training. Compared to me, who’d spent nearly my whole life training as both Dalton and Zayn, she was inexperienced. Maybe in her wolf form she could challenge me, but like this, she didn’t stand a chance.
“Huh? Why don’t you change for me? I already know you’re a white werewolf, so shift and attack. Maybe then you’ll be able to beat me.”
She didn’t respond, she just kept screaming, eyes flooded with rage and hatred as she clawed at me.
“I will kill you! I will kill you, bastard!” she roared, aiming her claws, but I easily dodged and sidestepped before appearing behind her. I murmured under my breath, amused.
“This is really confusing, Nyssa. You say you want to kill me, but you’re not shifting. Can’t you shift? Wait, do you want me to teach you?” I laughed as she jerked her head toward me.
As I raised my hand to strike, she instinctively wrapped her arms around her stomach, shielding her face. My hand landed and she didn’t pull away, she slammed back into a tree. I raised a brow in confusion, then something clicked and a loud, cruel laugh escaped me.
She winced and whimpered, trying to gather herself. I reappeared in front of her and lifted my leg toward her belly. Just as I expected, she curled tighter, arms protecting the
spot.
My laughter echoed louder as I slammed my leg against her arms, hitting them again and again, watching her groan in pain. In the next second, she dodged my kick and rolled to the side, still clutching her belly. As she tried to get up, she fell again, whimpering in pain. But before she could react, I was already in front of her, grabbing her by the hair and pulling her close.
Her eyes widened, and she reached out, trying to claw at my face, but my words froze her in place. A shaky breath escaped her.
“Haha… you’re pregnant, aren’t you, Nyssa?” I asked, amusement glinting in my eyes.
As she processed my words, she quickly shook her head, clearly trying to deny it but I cut her off.
“How hadn’t I noticed earlier? Is that why you don’t shift into your wolf? Because it would harm the fetus if you shifted before it fully formed?”
The more I spoke, the clearer the horror became in her eyes.

Chapter 218
“Oh goddess, I was right. This is perfect! Fate is cruel to both of you, isn’t it? Haha, I actually feel sorry for you and
and my brother.“.
Her face twisted into rage.
“I will kill you, Dalton. I swear I will.”
She lunged to strike, but I was faster. I dug into my pocket, pulled out the syringe, and before she could react
I jabbed it into her shoulder. Her hand dropped immediately as she cried out in pain, and almost at once the drug took hold, her eyelids fluttered and began to close.
“W–what-” she whispered, stunned. “What did you do to me?”
My smile stretched as I watched her slump into unconsciousness. As she lost awareness, I murmured to myself,
“Oh man, this just got more interesting.”
