Author’s POVThe creepy sound from behind the tall grasses and trees caused Ronan to take an abrupt pause. He had been hearing it since he went further into the woods. His wolf, Dion had also smelt a distant scent. Only to realize that there might be several of them lurking behind the shadows.Ronan scratched the ground with his claws and while he mindlinked Timon. He took one step further and the sounds became clearer. They were closing in on him. He shut his eyes tightly to focus on their breathing to enable him to know the number of people that had him surrounded. But he couldn’t they seemed to be breathing the same way.“There is no need to keep hiding, show your faces, you coward.” He growled baring his canines.As if on cue the wolves hiding stepped out. They all had dark paint on their body. Ronan didn’t need to be told that it was their means to disguise themselves. He couldn’t catch a whiff of their actual scent. His enemies seem to have gotten bolder. Their desperation has
Ronan’s POVIt's been a while since I slept this long. I had woken up quite early feeling very active with Freya next to me. I can remember last night vividly. I don’t know what exactly came over me, but it felt as if I had missed Freya so much that I might do something drastic if she didn’t end up in my arms.Our arousal still lingered in the air until this morning. I don’t know how I am supposed to feel about it and I try not to brood on it too much. It’s more like cheating and at the same time, it is not. Freya is still my mate even though my heart belongs to another. I will just have to see this as one of those times that I laid with Freya and still went on to sleep with Fiona.Timon had a look on his face that seemed like he knew something when we met in the hallway.“You are up early today.” He mused.I snorted. “Like that is anything new.”“For someone who was almost attacked yesterday, you look very relaxed.” Timon pointed out.I smiled at that. “It's all thanks to Freya’s spe
Author’s POV“Calm down.” Ava huffed, obviously tired of seeing Freya pace the room back and forth.Freya turned to her with her eyes rounding like saucers. “What if he suspects something is amiss? It's barely three weeks since we slept together, do you think it matches? Wouldn’t he have smelt it on me the first time?”She scoffed. “You give this he wolves too much credit. The she-wolf is much more sensitive than they are when it comes to smells like that.”Still not convinced, Freya rubbed at the back of her neck feeling the goosebumps rise in folds. She had found out about her pregnancy two months back which and her brewing closeness to Ronan, had given her the idea to make something work between them. The sex had only been once, but it didn’t seem too bad to lead to a child.Confirming the pregnancy had been very shocking for her. She didn’t believe it for an entire week. Anxiety, fear, and hope mixed together were the basis of her emotions. And when she eventually came to terms wi
Ronan’s POVMy ears felt like they had been pulled apart. “W…what did you just say?”Freya wiped at the tears rolling down her face. “We are finally going to have a child of our own, my king. After so long.”I blinked rapidly, rubbing at my face to be sure I heard correctly. “H..how did that happen?”“How am I supposed to know? We slept together after such a long time and the goddess chose to bless us.”My head spinned as the ground moved too fast under me. I don’t know how to respond to the news. I haven’t thought about Freya becoming a mother and I know that sounds belittling of me. I gulped hard and grabbed both of her hands.“Do you mind if I call the doctor to check?” I asked.She nodded. “Yes, I would like to be certain again too.”“Thank you,” I mumbled, kissing her forehead.The doctor was called for and he arrived in no time, he cross-checked Freya and held up a smile at the end of it.“This is such a good time to be alive, your majesty. The Luna Queen is pregnant.” He announ
Author’s POVCallum hastened his steps with a determined look on his face. He would forever blame himself for involving Freya in his plans. She always seems to find possible ways to bring him to a full stop. When one of his men who worked in the palace had come to tell him about the Queen’s pregnancy. He had argued against it.That wasn’t the agreement between them. She was supposed to put an end to his life not carry his child. The idea of the pregnancy sounded funny to him. Freya, pregnant? Sounds absurd. Which is why he had come by to confirm it for himself. She would have to explain herself. He found her in the garden after asking the maids about her whereabouts.Freya's face morphed into these worried lines when she saw Callum. Ava made a face asking if she should wait. But she shook her head in refusal.“There you are,” Callum grumbled.“Welcome, Elder Callum. To what do I owe this visit?” She asked keeping a straight face.He scoffed. “You do have a lot of nerve talking to me i
Ronan’s POV“Do you really have a death wish?” Timon questioned me with a look of disbelief written boldly on his face.I scoffed frowning at the ground. “I am not a coward, Timon. I have had enough of all these incessant warnings that have led to nowhere. Whoever is involved in trying to kill me is the actual coward, they attack behind my back shamelessly. If they want a good fight they will show their stupid face.”The anger I was feeling after meeting with my uncle had simmered by the time Timon arrived. I felt the crazy urge to pick him up right there as he walked out on me and had him locked up. For someone who committed a grievous crime of abuse, he looks very unbothered.He inhaled sharply. “Don’t get me wrong, your highness. You are not a coward and that is a known fact. I don’t just want you exhausting your energy on something that doesn’t matter much. You have too many things on your plate. There is the queen to protect. You can’t let your anger get in the way now.”I ruffl
Fiona’s POVI giggled enjoying the wet kisses Ronan placed on my nape. He has been extremely touchy since he arrived and we haven’t left the room all morning. Thankfully, Louis seems to enjoy the company of Isla and Dawn better. Leaving myself and his father to be by ourselves.“Stop it, Ronan.” I laughed loudly hitting him softly.He grinned, holding my gaze. “Why should I? I thought you liked it?”“Of course, I do. But don’t you think we should stretch a bit? Why not run for a while in the woods? Then we can come back to this.”“That's not so bad. Let’s go then.” Like a child, he didn’t let me take a moment to myself before dragging me out of bed in excitement.The others might be wondering what in the world has gotten into us all of a sudden. But I am enjoying every bit of it. It's been too long since I felt his presence this much. Ever since we arrived here, a bit of distance has been infused between us and it makes my heart ache every time. I know he was taken from someone else’s
Fiona’s POVA loud shrilled noise filled my ears at his announcement. I try not to believe that he is actually talking to me about something like that. Is this some sort of prank?“What did you just say?” I asked.Like he had been pricked by a needle, he jumped out of the chair and knelt in front of me. I couldn’t even care for a second that an Alpha king was kneeling in front of me.“Freya is carrying my child, Fiona. She is pregnant.” He said again this time with a pitch of delight in his tone.Without thinking I smacked his hand away from me and got up to pace the room back and forth anxiously. My lips quivered as I let out hot shaky breaths. My suspicions were true. Who was I fooling thinking he is all mine when his mate and wife are still very much a part of him? How could I have been so trusting? I glanced back at him and the only thing that I saw was rage.“How did this happen? I thought you two weren’t as close as you were before?” I queried in a low tone.Ronan lifted himself
