We Built a Kingdom From Ashes That Still Remembered Love by Aila Frost 796 Summary

Shelly notices a heavily pregnant young woman in obvious distress at a hospital located on neutral territory, away from the Redmoon pack. The woman, named Meg, is clearly a rogue living on the fringes, and Shelly approaches her with gentle concern. Meg is overwhelmed by pain and fear, whispering that she can’t handle the situation alone.

As Shelly introduces herself and tries to build trust, Meg reveals she is only nineteen and completely alone—her parents are absent, and her boyfriend was killed. The weight of her isolation and the impending birth is crushing her spirit. She expresses deep despair and even regrets not having had an abortion, feeling unprepared and hopeless about raising her child.

Shelly offers comfort, telling Meg that having a child is a blessing and that she won’t be alone because the baby will be a lifelong companion. Despite her reassurances, Meg’s pain and sorrow are palpable, and she fears her daughter will suffer the loneliness she has known. Shelly’s presence provides a small glimmer of hope amid Meg’s overwhelming fear and uncertainty.

What immediately caught Shelly’s attention was the unmistakable sight of a woman heavily pregnant—so far along she looked ready to give birth any moment. The young woman was breathing deeply, each inhale and exhale laced with a mixture of physical discomfort and emotional strain. Shelly’s mind raced: Was she in labor already? If so, why wasn’t she in a delivery room yet?

The hospital they were in was neutral ground—nothing fancy, but far enough removed from the Redmoon pack’s territory that no one there would catch wind of this visit. Shelly was determined to keep her own situation under wraps; if the pack’s doctors found out, the news would spread like wildfire. She needed discretion, above all else.

From the moment Shelly saw her, and then caught her scent, she knew the young woman was a rogue—someone outside the pack’s influence, living on the fringes.

“I can’t do this…” the girl whispered, her voice trembling as tears welled up in her deep brown eyes.

Without hesitation, Shelly rose and moved closer to her. The girl hadn’t noticed her at first, so consumed was she by her own pain. It wasn’t until Shelly sat beside her and gently took one of her tightly clenched hands that the girl finally registered her presence.

“Hey,” Shelly said softly, her voice a comforting whisper. “Are you okay?”

The girl looked up, her lower lip quivering as if holding back a flood of emotion. She studied Shelly’s face for a long moment, silently weighing whether she could trust this stranger.

Shelly understood her hesitation. After all, they were strangers, and the girl was clearly struggling. Shelly decided to approach the situation differently.

“Are you here alone?” she asked gently.

The girl blinked, then glanced nervously around the sterile hospital room, puzzled by Shelly’s focus on her alone. Finally, she gave a slow, reluctant nod.

Shelly offered a small, reassuring smile, though she couldn’t hide the worry that crept into her expression.

“My name’s Michelle Montague, but you can call me Shelly,” she said, extending her hand in a friendly gesture. The girl eyed the hand uncertainly before meeting Shelly’s gaze and tentatively accepting the shake.

“Meg,” the girl finally said, her voice barely above a whisper as she lifted her hand.

“That’s a lovely name. Is it short for Meghan?” Shelly asked, trying to keep her tone light.

Meg nodded, her breathing easing slightly but the pain still evident in her eyes.

“How old are you, Meg?” Shelly inquired.

Meg bit her bottom lip, turning her gaze downward, as if the question weighed heavily on her.

“I’ll be nineteen next week,” she murmured.

Shelly felt a pang in her chest. So young, so vulnerable.

“Where are your parents?” she asked carefully.

There was a long pause before Meg spoke, her voice barely audible.

“They’re not around,” she said softly. Shelly sensed there was more Meg wasn’t sharing but chose not to press further. From what she could tell, Meg was utterly alone.

“Boyfriend? Husband?” Shelly asked gently.

Meg was silent again, then exhaled slowly.

“He’s not here anymore…” she whispered. “He was killed.”

Shelly’s heart shattered in that instant.

“I’m so sorry,” she said quietly. “So, you really have no one?”

Meg nodded, her hands instinctively moving to cradle her swollen belly as tears spilled over.

“I don’t know what to do…” she confessed, her voice heavy with despair. “I have no one to help me. I can’t raise a baby. A goddamn baby. I’m in way over my head. My mom was right… I should’ve had an abortion or something.”

Shelly felt as though her heart might break into pieces right then and there.

“You shouldn’t say that,” Shelly replied gently. “Some people can’t have children at all. You should count yourself lucky. You’re going to have a partner in crime for life.”

Meg let out a shaky laugh that quickly turned into a desperate sob.

“I’m used to being alone,” she muttered. “But I never wanted that for this baby… I don’t want her to grow up lonely like I did.”

“As long as she has you, she’ll never be alone,” Shelly assured her.

Meg bit her lip again, contemplating Shelly’s words, but then winced sharply, clutching her belly once more as a fresh wave of pain washed over her.
