We rode very faster through the woods and all through the night. Nanna didn't show any signs of fatigue but I knew she must be very exhausted. None of us had ever gone through something like this, adapting could just be quite difficult but we knew we would be able to adapt no matter what. I wrapped my arms around Nanna as we stopped to rest a bit. Alvans made a tent for us to lay and the next morning we started our journey again after he gave us breakfast. "Alvans." I called while we headed to where the we moored the horse. He turned back and looked at me. "Yes!?" "Thank you." I said and embraced him without even realizing. He slowly let his loose arms cover me and he rubbed my back. "It's fine. I am glad to help you." He said and we disengaged ourselves from the hug. Nanna thanked him too and when we got to the horse, he helped me onto the horse and he climbed on too. "We will be there in a few hours, you will be able to relax there, okay? You don't have to worry about
I and Nanna stood up, I was certain I did not ask too much or did I? I just needed to know why they didn't have mate yet, not even one of them... It weird and I was sure they would accept that too. "What did you say?" Keith asked me, narrowing his gaze. Were these guys just over reacting or something? What was the essence of standing up and making a scene, I thought while I stared at my Nanna who was had that wondering expression worn on her face. Me and my mouth. "Why did you guys have to stand up as if I have asked too much? I only asked you about your mates, why are they not here?" I had to repeat. I didn't care of how they would react or take it. The trio looked at one another, before returning their gaze to me. "Oh we are sorry about that. That should be a coincidence, I was going to go to kitchen." Atlas answered with a smile. Oh good, they could smIke that. I felt relieved but still expecting the answer to my question. "And I was actually going to get some
"Breakfast is ready and the Alpha is waiting for you. They are also here." She said and turned to leave. "Who are also here?" I stood up. "Beta Keith's mate." She responded and I and Nanna looked at each other. Seriously? What could she have come here to do? I could remember I told Alvans that it wasn't necessary to invite them here. Did he? I smiled and nodded my head for the maid to leave. "Did you hear that Nanna?" I asked. "I did but... You know what? Let's go have a look. I think they sensed that you still doubt them, that's why they brought her here. At least, I am sure you are happy now that they ain't hiding anything." "You are right Nanna, but I still feel something is not fine about this pack. Our pack house wasn't like this? Same thing as Johannes castle." I pointed. Nanna smiled and kissed my forehead. I didn't know why she did that but it was still fine. "Let's go, they are waiting for us outside." She told me and we both left her room, hea
Ever since Casey had gone, the castle had not been same. The king had not been visiting me like before, even if we crossed paths he would ignore me as if I was nothing. He didn't give up on the search of Casey, this would never be possible. His Highness didn't know that I had sent her very far away from the town, to a place where no one would ever think of. I knew that what had been happening lately in the pack was enough for him to be depressed, but he wasn't still allowing anything to cheer him up. He didn't give him self the pleasure he usually received, he abstained from everything that even I had begun to fear. I wanted to be the real Queen and the mother of the heir to the throne, but if he wasn't coming to me how would we make baby? Or was he just avoiding me intentionally? I guess trying again will be better. I waited till dusk to get myself decked up by my handmaids, so that I would again go to do what I had always wanted to do – to seduce him of course. I called o
Bastard! I cursed. I was very upset. This lady had been trying to make me want her, she was making me lose my mind. How dare she! "I told you to leave from here?" I said with clenched teeth. I knew I did not tell her to leave but she should have known that I did not want her. She should have understood my body languages, but no, she did not. She whimpered in pain as she stood up, holding her rib. "I do not want to go away! How can I leave when you are hurting? When I know you do not want to resist me you are just forcing yourself. I know you need me, your wolf want me. Let's do this." "We will not do anything, so leave from here." I managed to speak calmly even though I wanted to yell out loud at her. "No! I will not!" She insisted stubbornly, then everything happened in a second. I grabbed her neck again and pinned her to the wall, my face only an inch away from hers. The flames in my eyes were burning with intensity. "Don't make me do what I don't want to do,
"It is fine take your time." Alvans said, and focused on his food. "Yes, Alpha... I even want to tell you something about Casey." Nancy said and Alvans looked up, dropping his chopsticks on the table. My eyes lit up and glanced at Nanna who was also wondering what Nancy wanted to tell Alvans about me. I could feel my heart pounding heavily in chest. What if Nancy told him that I was pregnant? How would I be able to deny it? "Oh really? What is it about?" Alvans asked her and she smiled. Taking a glance at me. I already went to her and told her that I was not pregnant, I tried my best to convince her and I didn't believe he wasn't convinced. "I looked into Casey's eyes today, I even observed her stomach... I believe she is pregnant." She said and I gasped in shock. "What!?" Alvans yelled out, I knew this would happen. "How is that possible? Casey, are you really pregnant?" He faced me but I didn't respond. "Casey, please tell me, is your sickness related to your pre
"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
