RALIAI let out a soft breath, because I was feeling suffocated already because of the build up of emotions. "You are the most beautiful woman I have ever come across" he said again, taking my hand and planting a kiss on the back of my palm. I blushed even harder, this man just knew how to sweep me off my feet. He asked if we were ready, and then he assigned some guards to go with us. I had never felt more special in my life than I felt at that very day. "I told you you looked stunning" Amelia whispered to me in such a way that the guards would not hear as we walked in the woods together. "Did you see how he had looked at you? Like his entire world revolves around you". I laughed out loud, I noticed I had been able to laugh more often lately, maybe because everything had been going well lately. As we walked, I admired the calm atmosphere in the woods, I wished Lesley had come with me. I imagined what it would feel like holding hands with him in this peaceful and extraor

RALIAI was feeling overwhelmed with the love that Lesley showered on me, I wondered what I had done in my previous life to deserve such love. "You are a treasure Ralia" he said touching my chin, I leaned towards him and kissed him passionately on the, wrapping my arms firmly around him like he belonged to me. Actually he did belong to me. Our kiss was interrupted when someone opened the door to the rooftop. It was Lesley's right hand man. "I told you I did not want anyone to interrupt me" Lesley said with a cold voice. "But I really need to talk to you about something that is very urgent" " What is it all about?" He looked at me and hesitated for sometime, it seemed like he did not want to speak in my presence. "speak" Lesley commanded. He stood reluctant for sometime, and still did not want to say anything in my presence. Lesley gently excused himself from me and went to a corner with him. I watched them as they spoke, trying to eavesdrop on what they we

Lesley came back two days later, I was having my meal before bed when I heard the servants running around to put things in place, I was wondering what was going on when Amelia came to me and informed me that Lesley was back. My heart leapt but for joy and excitement, the long awaited time had finally arrived, I could not deny the fact that I really missed him. I knew I was supposed to be mad at him for leaving without waking me up or even giving me a goodbye kiss, but that moment I forgot everything and had forgiven him. I abandoned my food and rushed outside to meet him, I watched him come down from the horse just like a prince, my prince. My heart started to pound incessantly the moment he looked up at me with those deep blue eyes which I had first fallen in love with. He immediately broke into a smile and started walking towards me. "I'm back" he said putting his arms around me tightly and kissing my forehead. "How was your trip?". He did not answer, he just took

Three months into my pregnancy and I had started getting extreme symptoms the doctor had talked about, I felt nauseated even more than I had fekt in the beginning, I felt extreme back pains, stomach pains and most importantly I had terrible mood swings. Most times I would even lash out at Lesley, but he understood and stood by me. Of course I had Amelia too, I would lash out at her more often than not yet she never left my side.Last night Lesley had told me that he had a surprise for me today, I sat in my room chewing gingerly on some almond seeds as I awaited his surprise. I had actually had a bad temper the previous night and had chosen to pass the night in my own room no matter how much Lesley pleaded. He finally let me when he saw I was being reluctant, I actually did not know the exact reason I was on edge the whole night, but he however promised me he wod give me a surprise the next morning. I had woken as early as before the cock crows to snack on the almond Amelia had go

RALIA"Wow!" She exclaimed when we got to my room, "your room is beautiful, and comfortable" she looked around and went to sit on the bed. "And it looks less of a prison like your former room". "So tell me" she said dragging me by the hand to sit beside her on the bed. "How has the alpha been treating you?" "Well....." I blushed. "You see Ralia, when your family had handed you over to him, I felt very bad for you, especially since people said he is very ruthless and delights in doing dark deeds, I felt so bad that I started to imagine what you might be going through. I started to wonder what would happen to all of those blissful fantasies we had about handsome princes coming to steal you away from your brothers and taking you away from them". "We were crazy back then though" I said laughing. "We should have known those were fairy stories". "I know, but I still felt bad, that you probably would not meet that handsome prince and have your ideal love life and your happy e
