"What do you want to tell me?" Joshua asked me as I continued to drag him to one side of the field. And when I stopped, I turned him to face me. "The Alpha should not know that I am pregnant." I said whispering. He took a step back, looking closely confusedly at me. He held my shoulder and bent his neck. "What happened? Why are you staring at me that way?" "Why are you hiding this from the Alpha? You should not have, if he hears the news of your pregnancy from another source apart from you, he will be so angry. He will definitely find sooner or later." He tried making me understand – Funny enough, I understood but I was not ready to take heed because I did not want him to know now. I just did not know why I felt he would be a problem for me he found out about this pregnancy sooner. Let me just keep this to myself. "I know he will probably go mad after finding out but I will know how to explain things to him. He is like my brother, he will come around but for now..
Aidan froze as in shock as time seemed to have paused all of a sudden around him. He felt suffocated, his palms sweating profusely. He could not believe his ears. Did he really hear what Casey just asked? How could she have found out about him? He knew no one could have told her about him but he still didn't know how she would have found out. His head was pounding as he stood up slowly from the bed and approached Casey who stood on the way out of the room, not saying a word, only staring. Casey expected him to have answered the question, however, she did not know how to mean his reaction. Aidan lowered his gaze, staring at the floor as he thought of how he would turn the entire thing to make her believe that everything she had insinuated was absolutely lies and just misunderstanding. "What was the question you asked again Casey? I don't think I heard you." He asked her but he still hadn't thought of any possible ways to convince her. "I asked if Alpha Alvans is the same
I woke up to the strong stench of bleach, disinfectants, mentholated salve and rubbing alcohol filling my nostrils. I sat up begrudgingly in the bed and scanned the room. It was mostly empty but that was not my biggest concern at this moment.... the only thing on my mind was why I was here. There was no one to ask, I was the only one in the four walls. I didn't know how I got here. Nanna and the doctor entered the room a minute after I woke and they both exhaled... Like they literally slumped their shoulders. Nanna put her palm on her chest, closed her eyes and sighed in relief. What was she told by the doctor? Oh no, I hoped the secret I have been trying to disclose is out already. Nanna hugged my head with emotional tears welling down her eyes, I knew I must have scared her, I could remember I slumped and collapsed and that was all. I did not know what happened next. "I am happy you are fine. I just couldn't sleep since yesterday." She sucked. It was obvious from the wa
"I have come to tell you something important about Casey and she doesn't want me to tell you." The doctor said and approached us. Alvans glanced at me to confirm what the doctor said but I didn't react. "What is that?" He asked him. "The truth is that Casey is pregnant and she doesn't want me to tell you." I expected him to say as he approached us but he smiled and came to hold my shoulder. "Casey is a very intelligent lady Alpha, but she doesn't know that if she doesn't share things with you it will affect her. Casey knows that she can't eat all types of food, she knows but she doesn't want to bother you about it. That was what caused dizziness, she needs to pay attention to her health." Was I mishearing things? I asked myself as I gazed at the doctor who was beaming. What could be going on in his mind? If he wanted to tell Alvans about my pregnancy, he definitely would have. What was all these he was saying about me? I wanted to ask him right there but I couldn't
"Your Highness, please wait!" I pushed Imara away the moment she grabbed my arm. I didn't look back to see how she had fallen but I could hear the way she squealed in pain. She dared not follow me now. "Your Highness, we are set." O'Horan bowed when I got to the military quarters. I could not wait to see my Casey and I knew I would find her today. I would bring her back to me. "Your Highness!" I heard Imara's approaching footsteps again and this time, I had to look back and pay attention to the hell she wanted to say. She held her waist as she toddled towards the military quarters. This must had been because of the push, but I didn't feel any pity for her. I believe she did not want Casey back here with the way she usually talked about her. Any ways, she knew that once Casey come back, there would not be anything like concubine Imara anymore but ex-concubine of the king. "I will excuse you now your highness." O'Horan bowed again as Imara reached and he left. "W
I and O'Horan were running at breakneck speed and we didn't bother to take any rest. We were very far away from our soldiers, they were weak. They had weak link so there was no way we could do without having to rest just for them to regain their strength. I knew sooner or later, we would get there since the pack was here and there was no way one would shift a pack in such a short time intervals. Casey! I am coming for you. I thought as I leant my back against a tree. We had shifted back to human form. "Have some water your Highness." I heard the voice from above, making me flicker my eyes open. It was O'Horan, he held out his hand with which he held the cup with. He didn't smile, he felt he was doing his duty. I took the water from him and I smiled appreciatively. "Thank you O'Horan."
I did not know why I suddenly became nervous as I followed the guards to where the messenger from Imara was. What message could Imara have sent to me and why had she sent it? I could perceive danger, horror and war. I just hoped all was well. My fear should not come true. I bucketed along fitfully towards the main gate. There stood a man, covered with blood, he was half naked. His chest was overlaid with slashes, bruises and deep cuts. He looked rough and almost lifeless. I hurried to him as he was about to collapse, and I ordered the guards to take him to the healer for proper treatment. He needed to recover as quickly as possible. I thought as I paced back and forth at the door step of the infirmary. Casey should not learn about this, I made known to Keith and Atlas. I did not want her to be worried too. But how could that guy could have sustained so many inj
Was he kidding? I thought. I was still unable to believe that one of our guards was here without coming with us. What could he be doing here and for what reason could he have come here? "What are you doing here?" I had to asked the guard who did not even look up at my eyes for once. I pulled out my arm, placed it under his jaw and raised his head to look into my eyes. "Speak out.. What are you doing here? How did you get here?" "Your Highness... I don't know why I feel he has come here with a hidden agenda, he would have spoken up if he has a something reasonable to say. Let me check this first." O'Horan said, fumbling with the paper he had picked up while he tried to unfold them. The guard seemed to be very uncomfortable, his reaction was suspicious but I refused to believe that he had come here with a hidden agenda. "Your Highness, my parents live here so I have come to pay them a visit. They have sent a letter to my older brother, that is what is written in the paper
