02~ The Alpha's Love

Zeta's POV

(7 Months Later)

Since the day Alpha Damien discovered I was pregnant, he hasn't stopped checking on me. He'd show up in my room like twenty times in a day. I didn't bother asking why, rather I would silently ask myself.

I noticed he never treats others the same way he treated me, he was giving me more attention than he was giving to them. I don't know why but, I was wondering if there's some thing special about me that they don't have. Or could my own baby be so special and I don't know?

I also noticed how eager the Luna was to get close to me. Seeing how the Alpha cherished me, she must have presumed I was going to give him the best. She'd come to my room, or most times she'd invite me to her room, serving me with the best dish.

She was acting all super nice Luna with no bad attitude. I could have fallen into her goodness if not for her maid who told me she wasn't as calm as she seems. She also told me that the Luna was only acting nice to me because of the child I was carrying and how much the Alpha cherished me.

"Be careful, young Miss, or you'll regret ever dining with her." She warned.

A part of me wanted to doubt her for so many reasons I wish I can tell. I mean, why would a maid be against her mistress? Like… who does that?

No matter how rude or heartless a queen can be, their maidservant has no right to speak evil against her, but her she is, telling me every thing I need to know about the queen.

Not complaining tho. Don't get me wrong.

On the other hand, I felt so relaxed since watching Alpha Damien showed me so much interest, it was a relief to me that I was going to have the money all to myself. Once I give birth to his child, I don't think I'll have to wait any second to get the heck out of here.

Likewise, I've been noticing how distant the other ladies have been to me. The way they look at me, I wonder if my hair looks messy or some thing. Some times, they'd hiss at me while walking past me, or eye me for reasons I don't know.

Not like I care, as long as I have won the interest of the Alpha, I'm cool with it. It's only a few days from now and I'll be screaming in labor. I'll have to leave the entire household for them in peace.

Those who had taken in earlier before me had ended up giving birth to girls, some had miscarriage, leaving me in thoughts. Every night, I would sit beside my window, staring up at the sky. I would pray to the Moon Goddess to save me and deliver me from the pains of miscarriage and giving birth to a baby girl.

Just while I sat in thought, I heard the sound of my door open and close. "I'm not hungry." I said coldly, thinking it was my maid who had walked in.

"You shouldn't be thinking too much, or it affects you and the baby." His voice caught my attention.

I stood up, bowing my head at him. "Your majesty." I greeted.

"How are you, My Lady." He asked.

"I'm fine, Your Majesty. All thanks to you."

He smiled. "How is the baby?" He asked. Whenever he was going to ask for my baby, his voice would sound soft and sweet, like it was the only thing that made him feel happy and satisfied.

"The baby is fine." I replied.

"You need to go for a check up tomorrow to find out what gender it is you carry." He suggested.

I nodded my head. "I will."

He was looking at me, like there was more to say to me but he couldn't spit out the words. I looked away from his gaze, burying my face to the ground. "You don't have to worry about me or the baby, we'll be fine." I assured him.

"I should be concerned, you know. I wouldn't want you having the same fate like the others, especially not now that you're at the point of delivery."

"What if I give birth to a girl? Would you walk me away the same way you did to the others?" I asked.

"I didn't walk them out, it was part of the deal. If you don't produce me a son, you can't live with me. But, I can only do you the favor of sponsoring the child, that's all." He said.

"And what if it's a boy?" I asked again.

"Then I'll keep to my word, half a million dollars for an heir."

I sighed, nodding my head.

"You should get some sleep." He said.

I walked to my bed, sitting by the edge. I was finding it difficult to lay on the bed, my baby was seriously kicking. I didn't want to moan, I didn't want him to notice what I was experiencing inside so I acted to be all fine.

He didn't seek my permission, he walked to my side, assisting me to get my body on the bed. He was being extra careful with me, he was handling me like I'm some kinda egg. Like he was scared that if he made any slight mistake, I'd crack.

"Are you alright?" He asked in the nicest way I have ever heard.

"Yes," I forced myself to smile.

"Okay. Good night then."

"Good night." I noticed how cold he felt, like he didn't want to go. I wish I could understand why he cherishes me so much, but whatever reason it is, I hope it isn't the other way round.

I held my stomach while I slept. Even while I am sleeping, I could feel the itching pains from the inside. I ain't a stubborn type of person, and from the little I know about Alpha Damien, he doesn't seem stubborn to me.

As soon as he left my room, I felt my baby relax. This isn't the first time I have noticed some thing like this happen, it always does whenever Alpha Damien shows up. Like there is this connection between my baby and him, a connection that bonds them together.

And I'm wondering, is it just between the two of them? Or is it just the three of us feeling this connected?
