"Alpha Maxwell." He greeted, with his jaw stubbornly set, his eyes accusing. It was obvious that he overheard their conversation.Alpha Maxwell halted for a bit. With an unsmiling face, Maxwell ignored him and went on his way. He gauged Alden's reaction to see if he overheard their conversation. Alexia opened the door when she heard Alden's voice. Disapproval shone in her eyes, " Have you come to accuse me again?" She confronted him.His eyes crinkled with mischief, " On the contrary, I think that you would be more inclined to hear what I have to say." He said.She folded her arms, impatience got the best of her, " I don't have time for games. Unlike you, some of us have things to do with our time." She said." Hmm." Alden hummed in agreement. Another dropped in his mind, " What if I help you bargain with Alpha Maxwell? He leaves you alone forever." He knows. Alexia thought. " What do you mean?" Her eyes blazed with anger, " You have refused vehemently to help out, why the sudden c
A knock on the door interrupted their conversation. With a deep frown and annoyance, Alden grunted. " Who is that?" " It's Martin. I heard Cisca is awake." He said." Come in." He replied with a gruff voice. The door swung open and Martin walked inside. The tension was palpable in the air. " Hello, guys." He greeted.He was greeted with silence, " I can come back if you want." He replied, reading the room. He had interrupted an important discussion. because he Cisca snapped out of her moodiness first, " Hey, you can stay." She said and shot a begrudging look to Alden whose face was stoic." Hello." Martin stared around the room as he wondered why the reception was poor," I think I should give you a minute." He snuck a glance at Alden who refused to acknowledge him.Cisca waved her hand, " Nonsense. It's fine. I'm glad you came to visit." She replied." Yeah. I came as soon as I heard." He said stiffly as he watched the monitor, her heart was beating well. " Does your hand hurt?"
"please you need to excuse us." Dr. Bart ordered immediately he entered the room, accompanied by two nurses, who set the fluid stand, and tried to take charge of the situation.Alden's heart thumped violently against his chest as he watched his mate lying on the bed. His head spun; his feet were rooted to the ground, his muscles limp as he watched Dr. Bart insert a needle into her arm.Oh my goodness, please do not allow anything to happen to her! He prayed earnestly. Dr. Bart snuck a glance at him and saw that he watched on helplessly. He felt pity and returned to his duty. " Hold her still." He instructed the nurse standing behind him. He stuck another liquid into her arm, and Cisca thrashed and jerked violently from the bed. " Hold her still." Alden snapped out of his frozen state and rushed to the bed. " What are you doing to her?!" He demanded, growling afterward." I'm saving her." Dr. Bart replied and withdrew a jelly liquid into his syringe before plunging it into her arm.
" When will you be leaving?" Stiles inquired when Alden walked in the front door.Alden ignored him and trudged upstairs. He came to freshen up, pick up some clothes, and dash back to the hospital. Cisca hadn't woken up." Aren't you going to reply me?" He shouted. Alden continued to his room, he was not in the mood for unnecessary banter. If Stiles decided to play ignorant of the latest development, it was his business. Amelia walked out of the kitchen carrying a tray." Cisca relapsed." She announcedWhat? Stiles was stupefied. What was wrong with her? " I bet you didn't know. I suggest you stay away from Alden at the moment, his anger is more fierce than a spooked rattlesnake. " She advised and set the table. Stiles watched her and wondered what her game plan was. " What are you doing?" Amelia halted and stared at him, before returning her gaze to the plates. " Setting the table." " When did this start?" She shrugged and hid her smile, " Well, you see, I thought that it would
" What the hell?" Stiles muttered when a cup of water was dumped on his head. Sleep faded from Stiles's eyes, and he blinked when he heard his mother's voice. " Get up." She said.He was annoyed at the interruption from his sleep. " Mother." He said." Get up, and sort yourself out." His mother repeated. He took a glance around the room and saw that nothing was out of place. He looked down and saw a big bulge in his trousers. Shit! He wasn't a horny teenager." What the hell happened to you?" Her voice rose slightly, as she noticed him staggering to the bathroom. " What took you so long?" Amelia asked when he came out of the bathroom." Nothing." He replied. She was rearranging what she thought was out of place. The plastic duck that was on his right was moved." Stop."He ordered and sat on the sofa." The last person I remember seeing was Amelia." " I saw her coming out of your office. You were quite busy." Alexia spat. To her dismay, Stiles cocked his head and said. " I don't rem
" Are you sure about this?" Martin whispered. " Yes," Nicky replied and gave a rueful smile. " I also have evidence." A maid clamped her hand over her mouth to stop the yelp that threatened to escape her mouth, when she overheard the conversation. So, Alden had been mistreated all along. She was sure that the late king didn't know this. What a wicked wench! She thought. She tiptoed slowly away from the door when they stopped discussing. Martin came out of his mother's room and looked around. They heard a sound, and he decided to check it out. " Who was that?" " No one." He replied and continued with his questions. " Why didn't you say anything?" " Nothing. I didn't know at first, but I heard her yelling at her accomplice, that's how I knew. It was many years later, and when I broached the subject, the king was resolute on his decision." " You should have still said something." Martin insisted. His mother shrugged nonchalantly, " Don't blame me if I am not Mr. Nice Guy." The
Cisca chuckled and started at her finger again. " This is so beautiful." She gushed. She loved the gesture. werewolves didn't need to get married, but some people practiced it to show their devotion to their partner. She had always envisioned having that ceremony.Alden stared at her in awe, she was effortlessly beautiful. "You are more beautiful." He said and she laughed." Really? I am almost waddling." She joked. All in all, Alden was happy to see the pure joy radiating from her. " Yeah. You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen." Cisca snorted, The most beautiful woman was a far stretch, but she would take that. " I want him or her to look like you." She said.Alden smirked, " There's no doubt about him being a boy."Cisca cocked her head, " Your confidence is quite suspicious. Did Dr. Bart tell you the gender?" Alden smirked. " A gentleman doesn't reveal his secrets." " I think I know what this is. He told you, right?" She probed.Alden kept mum but continued smiling
" She tried to poison Martin?" Alden repeated to be sure that he heard her correctly. He stood with his hands akimbo. " Yes." His brows wrinkled, as he thought of what could have led her to do such. What could have happened between them? Martin was one of the coolest people he knew. He noticed her fidgeting, " How did you know?"She took a glance around wondering if anyone could hear her, and whispered. " I peeped through the hole, and saw her pouring a liquid from a vial into the glass of juice, I didn't think about it at first. It was when Prince Martin insisted that I drank it, that was when I became very anxious." Alden's face hardened, as he thought of the right way to deal with Alexia. His instincts were not wrong. " What did Martin threaten to do to you?" He asked.The maid was scared at the timbre of his voice; he sounded like he was about to march in there and cause damage, " To kill me if I didn't speak the truth. Please don't tell anyone I told you this. The queen threat
