I've never been a sucker for early morning sleep but ever since I got pregnant, sleeping in the morning has been my favorite routine of the day, asides munching candies and sweets later on.But today is entirely different, my stomach is acting in a funny type of way and it's literally so hard to keep my eyes closed and let the pregnancy hormones do their thing as usual.Strangely, the first thing on my mind is to find Alpha Andras, maybe because his room is just a few meters away from mine.I sigh and push the thought to the back of my head. What if it's just the baby kicking and I walk into his room when he's busy working or having a moment with Jenna? It'd be awkward as hell and I don't want that, not after the peace treaty I and Jenna had a few days ago.Another sigh leaves my mouth and I roll from the left corner of the bed to the other side where Darla had carefully placed my pregnancy pills, throwing every obstacle out of the way because of the throbbing pain in my stomach.“It m
ALPHA ANDRAS“I'm sorry but we lost the baby”.The royal doctor announces, stepping out of Azalea's room. I meet his gaze with a steely resolve, my expression masking the storm raging within me.“What did you say?”. I command, my tone as cold as ice. I heard him, but I wasn't quite sure what sense to make out of his words.He hesitates for a moment, balls of sweat cascading down his hairline before repeating. "We lost the baby".Jenna gasps, throwing a baleful gaze my way before letting out a loud wail. Her eyes looks like they're about to pop out of her socket while the royal doctor's words swirls around me like a cloud of poisonous fumes.Theoretically, I understand what they mean but I can't comprehend them. Lost the baby means no baby. No baby means no offspring of Andras Monet. No offspring of Andras Monet means no heir from Andras Monet.For a fleeting moment, the world seems to stop spinning and the walls of my carefully constructed fortress crumbles around me, leaving me vulner
ALPHA ANDRAS"Where's the headmaid?". I inquire, my gaze intense.All the maids are before me. Most of their faces are masked with worry while some with neutral expressions but whatever the case may be, everyone is going to learn something today and they'll each learn the hard way.One of the maids steps forward. "I'm here your highness".I give a stiff nod. "You are the head maid so I assume you've been the one in charge of Azalea's meal since she got pregnant right?".Her body stiffens and her eyes snap close and open at the same time. "No your highness!”. She protests. “Yes I'm the head maid but I'm not in charge of any of her meals"."Then who?!". I snap at her, trying not to let my rage show in my tone of speech, atleast not yet.Silence descends in the room.Suddenly the thought of Azalea's personal maid flashes across my mind. I scan the room for her among the other maids, but she's nowhere to be found. She should be here! I had better get a satisfactory explanation from someone
AZALEAI sit in room, my skin ice cold as I watch the clock tick by, birds chirp merrily, and I can hear guards and maids talking in the corridor next to my room, but it's all background noise to me.I feel disconnected, as if I'm watching my life unfold from a distance, unable to intervene.Darla's been with me for days now, her words echoes in my ears, breaking through the fog of my thoughts. She told me about the loss of my baby and how Alpha Andras fired someone because of me. But even with this knowledge, I can't seem to snap out of it.I manage to clean myself up and change out of the bloodied nightwear but several thoughts drift through my mind like shadows, fleeting and insubstantial.The more I try to grasp onto them, to find some semblance of coherence in the chaos, the more they slip through my fingers like sand. What did I do to deserve this?My hands lies limp in my lap, my fingers tracing aimless patterns on the bedspread. The same bedspread where I bled till I bled out
JENNAI pace up and down my room, my face flushed in anger. It's been days since I successfully carried out the first phase of my plan that's supposed to make things better and easier for me to move on to phase two. But it seems every single thing I did, did not only work but also backfired.That bitch and Andras are much more closer than before because of the miscarriage and it's so bad that even if Fiona was still here in the castle her services would be useless.They now spend time together openly and it seems like I'm no longer visible in the eyes of Andras. I can't count how many times I've told him to send her out cause she's not strong enough to carry another seed of his and gotten a negative response and reaction too.The last time I brought up the topic, he'd flared up and demanded that I stop talking about it else he'll use his Alpha command on me. Shocked was an understatement of how I felt. I felt my blood boil in rage for that bitch and her faux body.'Faux body?' Why the
KINGDOM OF WARWICK SILVERMAN’S POV My eyes flies open as I jerk from the bed in my cottage clutching my chest in fear. Something's definitely not right and I can sense it. My daughter's presence is near but it's not alone. I can sense a strange aura surrounding it.I stand up to leave the bed when I feel a hot liquid cascading down my arms.What could that be?I swirl my fingers in a circular motion and the room lits up immediately. My eyes trails down to my arms to see a reddish liquid flowing down in strides.Blood! That can only mean two things. Magic. Dark magic.I'm being attacked or someone else close to me! Suddenly the dots start to connect. She's in danger, my daughter is in danger!I swirl my fingers in a circular motuon again and the light goes off, plunging the room into total darkness.I wipe off the blood from my arm with a clean, white piece of clothe. As soon as I made sure every drop has being wiped off with the clothe. I place it on the bed and begin to make some i
"The door is open". Alpha Andras voice rings from inside his room.I gulp hard, and hesitate to enter. I clutch my robe tightly, wrapping the soft fabric around my body protectively.Today is the start of our sessions and I can't help but feel nervous. It feels like a dream and I really can't believe this is happening again. There are so many things running through my head. So many questions I want to ask. So many things I want to say. His announcement the previous day had me palpitating in shock. I never would have imagined those words coming out of his mouth, especially in the presence of Jenna and a few maids. He’d said that in front of his wife. He’d disregarded all voice of reason and stood up for me. Gosh. I've always known he's full of surprises but his words and the demeanor that tagged along with it yesterday shocked the wits out of me."She's going no fucking where! As a a matter of fact she'll be carrying my child again" I never expected that. Not in that moment. In fact
ALPHA ANDRAS"My king, someone's here to see you.” Donovan, my beta informs me.The elders in the courtroom all turn to look at me, some casting glances at each other, some whispering nothings into the ears of their betas.The whispers turns into a commotion soon, much to my annoyance. I don’t know I can’t explain that I’ve not been in a good mood of late. Every fucking thing seems to annoy the hell out of me. And I can’t say I like it. What the fuck is wrong with me?"Silence!". I yell, my voice reverberating in the whole courtroom and everywhere goes deathly still.Donovan shivers and lowers his head to the floor, he knows I hate to be disturbed, especially when I'm in a meeting with the elders, so if he has the boldness to do so then it's probably important. However I can't attend to anyone right now, not in the middle of a very important discussion with the elders."Attend to him Donovan, as you can see I'm busy".He shoots his head from the ground. "I think you need to see this p
