Hearing this tidbit of information, I am forced to realize that all is not well in our little part of the world. When a wave of nausea hits me again, I can’t help but to alert them to my conscious state. The doctor turns around quickly and stares at me before asking, “Are you feeling better?”
“No.” I barely get out before throwing up all over.
When I am done, I glance up at him and he states, “You really should try to hold it in, because you won’t stop till you do.”
Knowing that he is in on whatever this is, doesn’t make me feel better and I certainly don’t trust him anymore. Hoping to see Dominic in the room with me, I scan the room to find him in the corner. He is still unconscious and has a breathing tube down his throat at this moment.
Nodding, I return my attention to the doctor and ask before I feel another wave of nausea come over me, “Am I sick?&r
After a long night of tossing and turning, I eventually get to sleep just before dawn to awaken a few minutes later when Dominic gets up. I hear his footprints on the hard wood floor and then the toilet flush from the bathroom. Then his heavy footprints continue back to the bed before I decide to open my eyes and smile at him.I must look tired, because he then comments, “Go back to sleep for a bit my Ana because soon enough, we will be heading out to find us a new doctor from one of the surrounding villages. I am sure there is someone very capable there.” After he says it, he leaves me and gets dressed.Sitting up, I stare at his wonderful body while he pulls his pants on and then he smiles at me before picking up his shirt. Then he states, “If you aren’t going back to sleep, get up and we will go now.”Pushing my body up to a sitting position, I pause for a moment before climbing out of bed. Pla
“Are you alright?” Monique asks me when she opens the door to the bathroom slowly. Raising my head up from the toilet, I barely get out, “Yes.” Before I throw up all over the floor. With my stomach emptying everything inside it, I start to cry because I can only think of one reason and one reason only why this would happen. As the tears of happiness flow from my eyes, Monique reaches my side and starts to rub my back. “There, there. It will be just fine. I am sure it is just something you have eaten.” The minute she says it, I raise my head up again and turn to her. Staring into her eyes I can’t help but to laugh because she looks so serious. “I’m pregnant.” I manage to say before another wave of nausea hits me hard and I lose whatever has remained in my stomach after the first several times. Making a mess everywhere, the minute I start to feel better, I stand up and state, “I feel gross, I have to take a sh
“Hey, do you feel better today?” Monique stares at me with a mischievous grin on her face.“Yes. Thank you for asking.” I say as my mind races at a million miles a minute.“I think the whole castle heard you last night by the way.” She starts laughing and then winks at me before walking over to rub my shoulders.Glancing up at her with squinted eyes and a smirk on my face, I ask, “Why?”“Because when you started demanding that he take you now, everyone heard it and they have been talking about it all morning.” She points at me with a big smile on her face and then she asks, “By the way, did you ever find out who the other players in the conspiracy to kill you were? It is quite disturbing to say the least.”“No, unfortunately Dominic did not think to question him before he killed him. He was to upset by the whole thing. I could never deny him that b
The next couple of days start to get rougher unfortunately. When I hear Dominic yelling at the top of his lungs at the chef, I know there is something really wrong, “This food tastes like shit!” He points to the plate he is holding. Then he continues stating, “What is it anyway?” The chef stares at him in disbelief before stating quietly with his head down, “Shrimp Scampi. I was hoping something different would make you feel better. I’m sorry you didn’t approve of it.” Feeling bad for him and wondering what exactly is wrong, I take him aside after dinner and have a talk with him. “Dominic, you are taking your bad mood out on the Chef. What exactly is wrong?” I cock my head and ask as nicely as possible. He turns to me with an upset look on his face before stating, “We still haven’t found the ones responsible for the poisoning. At this rate, you may have to go to your parent’s house just for safe keeping till I get thi
“Look out.” I hear from behind me and turn around just in time before I get hit in the head with a ball.One of the pups had thrown it in the opposite direction but it bounced off the wall and came right at my head. It might have knocked me out if they weren’t paying attention. Shaking my head, I turn around and say with a smile on my face, “You two need to watch what you are doing?”I can’t really scold them because they didn’t mean to. They are just kids having fun. Who am I to stop their game when they weren’t even trying to hurt anyone?Shaking my head again, I walk to the kitchen quickly to grab my breakfast before these little ones eat me alive. My stomach is grumbling so much by the time I sit down, that I feel like a monster is inside. Are these little ones supposed to be so voracious all the time? Or is it because they are hybrids?After eating a small mount
“If you don’t find that lich before these pups are born, what are we going to do when he comes for the first one?” I ask Dominic with tears in my eyes and so much fear in my heart right now that sometimes I wish I had never gotten pregnant at all.Losing even one might kill me, when the depression hits and I realize that it is all my fault. All because I couldn’t stand to live without him, I could end up losing it all. Because when the lich comes for my baby, Dominic is planning on trying to kill him, in that moment he might lose his own life instead. Then what was the purpose of any of this if he isn’t here to share it all with?This whole time, I have been dreading the babies’ arrival, because I know that the lich will come soon after. Shaking my head, I sit still on the stool while waiting for Dominic’s answer. When he doesn’t answer right away, the tears start to flow steadily down
Hearing a roar behind me, I turn around and see Alpha Adolphus rushing at me right before Dominic intercepts him. Screaming, I yell, “Watch out!” When Adolphus turns quickly and almost slashes Dominic’s throat.I can’t believe our day has started this way. It all seemed innocent until Monique ran towards me and warned me of Adolphus’s intentions. That is when I heard him behind me before the two of them started fighting. Now as I stand here watching them fight to the death, I start to cry because suddenly I feel this overpowering urge to run.Run out of the castle, and straight to my parent’s house where I know I will be safe and sound with my babies. Then it happens. At first it is a thin trickle, then a gush of liquid rushes down from between my legs.“Did my water just break? I ask myself quietly under my breath.Not wanting to cause Dominic to lose hi
“Here’s mommy.” Dominic says softly in the cutest voice possible when he hands me the first of the five.He smiles so sweetly and then stares at us while I feed him. Looking up into his green eyes, I see the love there, that for so long yearned for. Pointing to him, I say in a whisper to the little one in my arms, “Your daddy loves you so much he gave his own soul to keep you around. Now that is the greatest love one can bestow on anyone.”Gazing down at the sweetest, most handsome little thing ever, I watch as his bluer than blue eyes twinkle in the light and his lips form a smile, where dimples are showing. He wriggles around in my arms and then I could swear that he winked at me. I giggle and then smile again before watching him suckle on me. This little one wastes no time because the minute he was in my arms, he found my nipple and latched onto it.Turning to Dominic, I smile a huge smil
