I was almost certain that I misheard her and when she saw that I was quiet she repeated herself, “I said you're pregnant.”I shook my head first at her but ,”that can’t be possible.”“I Have been on this game for many years, yes you are and the signs don't usually come this early but because of how stressed you are mentally, you're stressing your internal body.” Lop shrugged. I pressed my palm over my mouth. Could my life get any worse at this point?“I have things to attend to, I’ll give your friend all the medicine you need if you want some but you just need to get some rest for now and you'll be okay.” She said. She was speaking so casually of it that it made it seem like she was being sarcastic. I watched her leave the room and my jaw dropped to the floor.“There is no way in hell.” I told Melanie.“Oh Goddess this just made things worse.”I quickly held her hand and shook my head fast, "please Melanie this has to stay between us nobody in this palace must find out.”“I Would nev
I don't know why my heart was beating so fast as I headed to his room. One of his guards let me in and there he was sitting on his couch, penning something down and so focused on it. I stood there waiting for him to say something but he didn’t bother to look at me. There was an awkward silence and when I could no longer bear it I broke it, “you wanted to see me?” He finally looked up at me and eyed me from head to toe, “are you good?” There was barely any emotion in his tone. I nodded at him and waited for him to say more. He nodded in response, “alright I wanted to make sure.” “Is that all?” He raised a confused eyebrow at me. “What more could there be?” “You have to be joking your majesty, how can that be all you have to say?” He banged the desk hard as he got to his feet, earning a flinch from me. “What am I supposed to say?!” He raised his voice at me, “go on my fucking knees and tell you I’m sorry for marking another woman?!” I had no idea where the confidence came fro
He stared at me blankly unsure if he had heard me right and after a second of gathering his thoughts, he stated ,”what?”I sighed , “I know it seems crazy but I have no other option. I just spoke with the king and trust me I know I'm not safe here. But I can’t leave on my own and need your help.”He placed his hands on his head and ran his fingers through his hair nervously. I have absolutely no idea what to say I… “ he paused, staring at my belly as if he expected to see a child poking out, “ When did this happen when did you find out?”“Today?”“And have you told the king or anyone about it?”“Just Melanie.”“Who is that?”“She is the King's mother's head servant and my friend but I think my secret is safe with her and the servant that had informed me.”“Are you sure she knows what she's saying?”“They say she does her name is lop and..”“Lop, okay she's right okay I need time to think about it." He seemed so distraught, acting like he was a father of the child.“There's no time to t
“What do you mean by he's been poisoned?” I stared at him blankly. I feel like I misheard him.“We still don't know details but …”I didn't let him finish speaking. I pushed him out of my way. But, he quickly held my shoulders, rooting me to the ground. “What are you doing?”“I need to get out of here.” I yelled at him.“Get a hold of yourself, get out of here and do what?”“What do you mean he's been poisoned? I can't just stay if you're doing nothing I have to…”“We'll take care of it on the surface you just stay put.”“I can't I…”“Enough!” He raised his voice at me all of a sudden. “There is literally nothing you can do about it so just stay put and let me handle things.”I shook my head fast , “there is no way in the world I'm just going to let you lock me in you're like I'm some sort of prisoner.”“That was the deal, i'm not going to let you leave now for your own good.”I began to shake my head fast, “how is this for my own good, there is no way I can survive the king is not fin
“You don't know what you're saying, you're only speaking out of emotion, head back into the room when you relax and think things through, Then we can hold the conversation.” Beta said, shutting me out. I began to back away and he took simultaneous steps towards me.“Stay away from me,” I called in a fearful tone.I simply cannot.”“Please,” I thought that being vulnerable would get to him but the strong resistance behind his eyes was just too much.When I saw that he didn't budge. I frowned.“I am Going to scream.” I threatened him. “I thought so.”“What are you going to do to me?” My voice was filled with fear as he snaked one arm under my waist and pulled me close against his body. My hands automatically gripped on to his shoulders . He tightened his grip that was around me until I could feel his hot breath fanning against my neck, “what do you think you're doing? I repeated my question.”He held his hand up and then I felt a sharp striking pain hit my neck.“What did you just do t
Damian “So you are agreeing that the deaths were set-ups?" "It only makes sense, your majesty," one of the warriors reported. "All of the people that died were people that had feuds with the alpha of Blue Blood pack, and it only makes sense that he was responsible for their deaths," another warrior at the meeting called. "I beg to differ," Lucy said. "What about that Luna? She had no connection to him." "There were multiple bite marks all over her body, and we linked it to rogues that must have fed on her after killing her." "Why are you ruling out the fact that she could have been dead before the attack? That it is easier for them to attack a dead body than a luna," Lucy continued to argue. My attention was divided when I realized that Locks had gotten to his feet and was leaving the room. "Is there a problem?" I raised one eyebrow at him. "None, your majesty. I forgot to bring in some reports that I discovered. Permit me to get them." I nodded and watched him leave while my
Internally panicking , I proceeded to kneel in front of her. I placed one finger on the neck, and when I felt the pulse, I immediately lifted her in my hand, realizing that she was trapped in here. I pressed her against my chest and headed to my room. As soon as I got to the entrance, I yelled at the guards, “get the royal doctor.” Natalie sprang to her feet when she saw me carrying someone into the room. "What's happening?" I remembered in that instance that she was a doctor. "Check what is wrong with her?" "Kira?" She gasped. "Wasn't she missing? Hasn't she been missing for a few days now?" "Check what is wrong with her," I raised my voice, barking at her. She flinched visibly. I could see the physical spite that she held for her but she couldn't hold herself back. She immediately began to check Kira's body temperature. "She seems to be running a fever," she said in a low voice, as if she was scared of what could happen. "And I smell a great deal of wolfsbane seems like she
He stared blankly at me for a second and I almost regretted that I asked him maybe he thought I had forgotten my place but then he nodded, “not even Natalie”He looked around the room before taking his leave.Once I was alone in the King's room I looked around me in disbelief, this was not my plan at all, I had hoped that I would be far from the palace by now if not because of Lock’s suggestion. I still despised how the king made me feel but my priority was that he was fine now.I held my hand to my belly. I knew that even though things were seeming rosy right now I had to remember that the king had a mate he had marked himself and my position here would be threatened no matter how I tried to hide it. I couldn’t stay here much longer and though he had assured me that she wouldn't come here, I still needed to act and this time I was going to do it alone. I thought about Melanie and how she must have felt to find out I was missing. I knew how dangerous it was to walk alone but I still
