AUTHOR'S POV
Cisca sighed in relief at the announcement. The crowd parted, and the king merely raised his brows.
The guard suspended his hand in the air, as Alden walked to the podium.
Cisca turned to look at him. He refused to look at her.
" She must be so great for you to want to risk your life," Stiles remarked snidely, as Alden marched forward in between the crowd.
He ignored the taunt, as he walked on. His eyes were hard. He looked very furious at that moment.
The pack was very surprised at his heroic show.
" This is the price you pay for frolicking with the help." The King said.
They were not discreet enough, and this would serve as a warning.
Alden marched to the front, and removed his cloth, kneeling shortly after.
"We begin at the count of three."
 
AUTHOR'S POV"What is causing the problem?" The king asked. He wondered why the both of them were disgracing themselves. People were beginning to gossip." What exactly are you fighting about? You didn't do this when you were younger why now?" He asked."Answer me." He shouted. The two women looked at each other with hatred in their eyes. He was annoyed at their pettiness.He didn't imagine that at his old age, he would be settling quarrels amongst, his wives. He couldn't allow this continue."If you refuse to answer me, I'll send the both of you out of the pack house." He threatened before Alexia finally unfolded her arms.She pointed at Nicky, "She disrespected me, so she deserves to be punished." She said.Nicky smirked, "You do not deserve any respect given the way you have been behaving."
AUTHOR'S POV" Are you pregnant?" Reagan inquirer from her friend.Cisca turned around immediately, her heart beating fast. Seeing the expression on Reagan's face, she knew she couldn't lie anymore." Yes." She replied. The truth was already out in the open." But don't tell anyone."She said." Of course, I won't. Reagan replied. She would keep the secret. She was just a bit worried." Are you keeping it?" She asked." Yes " Cisca replied, although a bit scared of the future, she couldnt terminate her pup's life, regardless of the circumstances." Have you told him?" She asked.Cisca shook her head regretfully, she was going to tell him, not yet. Not when the heat was still up. She has not even seen him in 2 weeks."I am here for you." Reagan
AUTHOR'S POVCisca jumped up first, her heart beating fast. It must be a guard, or someone that was watching them. Alden hid behind the door, while Cisca passed him a masking spray.She opened the door to see a guard standing there looking at her like a traitor."Yes?" She put on her best bitch face as she watched him.He peeped inside and saw that the room was empty." Is there a problem?"She sighed in relief, as the guard walked away.Alden came out of his hiding place. They were definitely looking for him, and they thought to come here. He didn't intend to spend the night here, but at the circumstances warranted it, he couldn't help but stay." Take care of yourself." He slipped out of the door, and Cisca prayed with everything in her that he didn't get caught.&nbs
AUTHOR'S POV" Don't dare sit down. You are to resume fully to your position as the water maid." Melissa said.The order came directly from Amelia. She remembered that Cisca's father stole from the king." Let me just get my stuff."Melissa cheered, she wouldn't have enough time to gallivant with any of the princes. She did not know the chores that was waiting for her down there.Amelia had ordered that her chores be doubled and her whip doubled if she behaved funny.Alden waited for almost two hours without seeing a sign of Cisca. He walked to the stable, and met her absence. Where could she be? He asked himself." Follow me." Melissa ordered, and Cisca was led to a large empty drum. Before it were clothes for her to wash. She was surprised." I thought I was here to fetch water." She asked.
Okay, that was highly unexpected. Martin thought " With what?"he asked." Cisca needs to rest more often. Your mom, they say is in charge of saddling her with a lot of chores.""I can't influence her decision." Martin said. She could worsen the situation if he spoke to her about it." she lost her baby."Martin froze, shocked to the bone. With his mouth hanging open, " What?""Yesterday, she fainted. I will not take it lightly, peradventure Cisca gets harmed in this process." He warned, and exited the room.Martin felt his anger, losing a child was a painful experience." I know what you did earlier on, and I tell you, the line has been drawn." Alexia said.Nicky rolled her eyes at Alexia's petty out burst. She wouldn't go down that route with her tonight." And this
The next day, Amelia walked towards the maid quarters, aiming for Cisca. She was still a bit vengeful at the special treatment Stiles gave her and wanted to retaliate.Cisca who was coming out of her room received a hot slap on her face. She held her cheek to stop it from ringing. She watched Amelia's mouth move, but she didn't hear what she said." Do you get that?" Amelia asked, and she nodded, whereas her ears felt like an orchestra was singing in there. Tired at the outcome of things, she returned into her room to get herself ready for the day. This was probably a bad omen of how today was going to look like and it made her hope sincerely that it didn't turn out to be that way." Why did she hit you?" Reagan asked in concern." I sincerely do not know." she replied truthfully. At the end of the day, everything boils down to making sure that she would avoid Stiles more and more.
AUTHOR'S POV" I am trying to help put things in order." she replied." Okay, that means..."" You must have been receiving letters, I have been the one behind them." She said." Really?" he asked. Something was still bewildering, how come she slipped in unnoticed?" How do you do it?" He asked." I have a potion." She said, all of this was quite surprising to him. He wondered why no-one asked after Sylvia." Was that why no one looked for you? You basically disappeared." He said.She nodded in response, " Yes." she replied." So what next?" He asked, she shrugged." I've used it too much, it's beginning to affect me." she replied .He looked at her, she seemed fine to him, even finer than how she left due to the r
AUTHOR'S POV" When you are ready, let me know." The man spoke and they returned to the pack."What did he say?" The king asked." He didn't agree to the bargain." It was looking like it wasn't going to work anytime soon, but Alden believed that it was." It's almost the second day." Alexia blurted." And we don't have the capacity. Five hundred thousand is quite a decent amount. Isn't it?" He asked her." I don't think you understand these people, they are highly unreasonable, they only want money."" That's not if we can bargain properly " Alden maintained his stance. The King out of fear for what the people will say thought of how to raise the money ." We will take a loan." He said, in finality, and this made Alden roll his eyes. The people working with the rogues kn
