Heather's smile was chilling. I swallowed hard, backing into the dresser and wincing. "Heather" I tried, and she snapped.

"Don't call me that" she screamed as I flinched. "You are nothing to me, nothing do you hear me? You killed my Isabelle; you killed your own father. All I want right now is my revenge. Die, knowing that I never had any maternal or loving feelings towards you" she spat out, moving towards me threateningly.

I almost laughed. As if she had said something out of the ordinary. Heather Ramona was the most unloving and cold mother anybody could have asked for. I wasn't about to refute her claims or deny them. She had only ever had eyes for her precious Isabelle.

Shit. I had nothing to use as a weapon. This was a nursery, not a goddamn armory. I glanced at her and saw her hand beginning to move to the pocket in the front of her dress, slowly withdrawing a large knife with a silver blade. Silver. It would not only harm me, but the baby as well if she managed to stab me with it. I moved, dodging to the side and Heather gave a chuckle. Her eyes continued to watch my every move, her lips downturned. This was a game to her, only the consequences of losing were fatal.

"Do you think you can escape me this time Regan?" she asked, her eyes glistening with humor. "I know it will be too late for your mates to save you. Who do you think fed them that false information and gave them a lead about where I supposedly was?" she smirked. "All it took was enough money and one very stupid man and voila. Your mates went on a stupid wild goose chase" she hissed. "Not very bright are they Regan?" she taunted.

I remained silent. She lunged towards me and I reached up, grabbing her arm as she tried to bring it down threateningly, knife in hand. I kicked her in the leg and she gave a cry, refusing to let go of the knife, her hand firmly gripping it.

"I won't let you kill my baby" I whispered, my voice breaking.

She kicked me in the leg, forcing me to a kneeling position and giving her the upper hand as I continued to wrestle with her.

"Your baby is as good as dead" she breathed, "and once you are, I'm going after your miserable excuses for mates. Why should they get to be fathers while Isabelle lies in that coma?" she demanded.

"You abandoned Isabelle" I retorted disgusted with her irrational logic.

"I had to" she snapped. "It was the only way I could come back for her and get my revenge. I still care about my daughter" she said, glaring down at me "and I will free her from that hospital, mark my words" she sneered.

"Good luck with that" I retorted, trying to force the knife away from my face as Heather continued to press downwards with all her strength.

All my focus was on survival right now. I had no time for her endless threats and constant demands. As it was, I was hoping that somebody would come looking for me, if only to distract her for a brief moment.

The knife was mere inches from my face now. I was starting to lose the battle. Damnit. My unborn child was at risk. Heather's eyes were already beginning to flash with triumph. I couldn't afford to move let alone give an inch. I glanced at the doorway, wondering if a yell would suffice for anybody to come running.

"Do it. I will plunge this knife right into your stomach before anybody can save you" Heather giggled as she dared me.

I gritted my teeth, the knife descending further. Now it was close to my eye. I tried to move my head back, but there was very little room as Heather grabbed my hair and gave it a hard yank. Tears came to my eyes.

"Not so proud now are you Regan" she whispered as I gave a groan and looked up at her with tears in my eyes. Pregnant, I was no match for her strength, not without my shifter abilities. "I hope I remember this moment forever, the way you look now, how vulnerable you are, how the blood seeps out of your body when I plunge this knife into you" she breathed.

No. I wouldn't let it end this way. I punched out blindly, hitting her kneecap of all things, and making her stagger slightly backward. I got back to my feet and stepped back, crashing into the dresser again. This time my hand reached out and grabbed the vase of flowers resting on top of it. Without thinking, I threw it at Heather's head, causing her to put her hands up as she tried to defend herself from being hit. I didn't hesitate. I tackled her, using my momentum to plunge the hand she held the knife in, directly towards her stomach, the blade going in smoothly as her mouth went slack in surprise. I grabbed it and pulled it out, breathing heavily as she blinked up at me, shocked. I spared her no sympathy. I wanted this to end. I wanted this to finally finish. Heather had started this, but I would be the one to end it, once and for all.

"You were always too arrogant for your own good," I told her, raising the knife up high and bringing it down to strike her right in the heart.

It pierced with amazing accuracy. I stared her dead in the eyes, refusing to look away. I saw the light begin to leave her eyes.

Blood spurted everywhere. She made a strangled sound, her body jerking for a moment and then stilling. I wiped the blood away from my eyes, my whole body shaking and wearily stood up. I glanced down at Heather's body, lying still on the floor. The nursery was covered in blood. The plush toys, the furniture, all of it. All of Xavier's and Xander's hard work had been undone. I shook my head, feeling frustrated and angry at the same time.

"You bitch" I said bitterly, leaning against the dresser and touching my stomach. "All you've ever done is ruin things in my life. Things never turn out the way you think they will, do they Heather?" my lips twisted mockingly "and now you've paid the ultimate price for it. You couldn't save Isabelle, and you couldn't save yourself. Was it worth it?" I asked, feeling exhausted and drained. "All this?" I gestured at the room and towards her, feeling on the verge of breaking down, "Worth it? All you had to do was let things go" I said, shaking my head at her "and accept your new life. Instead, you harbored such hatred and resentment that it took over you and led to this" I laughed and then felt a tear trickle down my cheek.

Damnit. Why was I crying for the likes of Heather Ramona? Was it simply relief that I was feeling that made me this way? Was it because I knew that she would no longer be able to torture me? I no longer had to wonder if she would turn up at the most inconvenient of times. My child would not have to fear for their life. Heather Ramona was gone. You could not bring the dead back to life and she was definitively dead. No breath left her body.

"You were not my mother," I told her, staring down at the still body. "You never were and you will never be. My mother will always be in my heart and I will always remember her. You never even compared to the likes of her" I spat out.

"Regan" the door burst off its hinges and I stared blankly at Alpha Jackson who promptly stopped in his tracks.

If he'd come here to save me, then he was too late. I looked at him in shock.

"Alpha Jackson, what brought you here in such a hurry?" I asked coughing.

"The boys messaged me. They thought something was wrong..." his voice trailed off as he saw Heather's body on the ground and took in all the blood everywhere.

"She's dead," I said simply as he nodded. "But the mess" I weakly gestured at the room.

Even if the room was made pristine, the memory of what happened here would remain forever. The nursery was ruined. Nothing would bring it back to the way it was before. Nothing. I felt remorseful. The twins had put so much work into it and now it was destroyed, ruining all their hard work. It made me feel hollow.

"Can be cleaned but the nursery will go elsewhere" he told me, putting his arm over my shoulder and firmly guiding me towards the doorway "where the spirits and the memory of this evil bitch won't haunt the room or your child."

I firmly agreed, giving one last glance over my shoulder before firmly walking away, wanting nothing more than to feel my
