Damien's POV"What do you mean it's with Belinda?" I inquired."She borrowed it, but she'll soon return it." She said."Why did she borrow it?""Her phone is faulty, so she borrowed mine." She replied. I knew that she was lying; the question was, why?"I'll leave now." Jen said she stood for a minute as if she wanted to say something but decided against it.I made a mental note to call her later since Zeta had chosen not to speak the truth."Why weren't you at work today?" I asked, and she shrugged."I felt a bit feverish in the morning." She said."We are going to see a doctor first thing."tomorrow morning." I declared, and she whipped around to face me, holding the sheets tightly around her bosom."It's not necessary; I'm fine." She waved it off."Why don't you want to take care of yourself? I don't want to lose you.""You won't." She reassured me, rubbing my hands gently.******"Let me have your phone." I ordered Belinda. She looked like a deer caught in the headlights, and that
Zeta's POVWe spent a long time auditing and taking stock, as well as balancing the accounts of the pack.I was finally happy to put my knowledge to work since I was less busy. He wasn't able to travel the next day because of the weather.We spent time together; we took pictures together, which he posted, and this angered the minions.I was coming from the office when I saw Belinda's figure in front of my room. I didn't hear what she was telling Jen, but I knew it was something horrible."What is going on here?" I asked when I reached the room."Ask your whore for a maid. She spat."Don't call her that." I retorted, and she turned to give me a leveling stare."Like mistress, like maid." She said that and walked away.Jen was vibrating seriously when I entered the room."What happened, Jen?" I questioned."She saw me coming from the alpha's room, and she rushed to that conclusion." She explained, and it didn't make sense to me."How does coming out of his room equal promiscuity?" I inq
Chapter 15 The Acceptance Zeta's POVI woke up as early as five a.m. to make sure that I left the house before my cows woke up.I expelled my breast milk into his flask and packed a day's worth of food for my travel.Jen and I had planned that she would be the one to break the news to them that I wasn't in the country.I sneaked downstairs by 6 a.m., but I was shocked to see Belinda watching TV in the living room.What happened to her room? I thought. What am I going to do? It was too early for confrontation.I returned upstairs and called Jen."Turn your bag downstairs through the window and come out a few minutes later." Maids were to take up the throne before the royals did.I changed my gown into ordinary jeans and a faded t-shirt and made my way downstairs."Where are you heading to this early?" Behind asked me, and I froze."I want to jog down the street," I said, and she looked at me skeptically."Since when?" she asked, and I didn't cower beneath her gaze."I want to keep f
Zeta's POV"Where are you coming from?" Belinda's question caused my joy to be deflated like a tire.I wasn't expecting all of them to be present when I arrived. He told me that only Belinda was around. I went from cloud nine to zero immediately.Dealing with all of them at the same time was a lot of work."I went out." I replied meekly, like a lamb among wolves." Really?" Alicia sneered. "What kind of mother leaves her suckling child and wanders off to see a man?" Belinda asked."A bad mother." Tricia reolied. I didn't bother to correct their opinions because I was tired from the trip and wanted to sleep."A cat got your tongue?" Belinda mocked me, and I still didn't reply."I know you are here because of the money, but you also have to take care of him." She said that, and I nodded solemnly. Anything not to make them angry."He cried a lot last night, looking for his mother, but she was painting the town red with the Alpha." Belinda rattled on and on about what should have been th
Damien's POV "Where is she?" I roared immediately as I entered the hospital. I took the next flight immediately after hearing that she had fainted."Alpha, please calm down." Doctor Fidelis said, and I leveled a glare at him. He wasn't the one with a palpitating heart." She is in the female ward. She is resting a bit." He said."Lead the way." I growled. He moved immediately, with two nurses in tow.She looked pale and tired. Her frame was slimmer. My heart clenched at seeing her on the bed, so weak."What is wrong with her?" I turned to the doctor."Her blood pressure is unusually high. She seems like she is undergoing stress, and judging from her BMI, it shows that she has not been eating well. Her body needed to shut down."That was ridiculous, because she always said she was great whenever we spoke on the phone."I advise that she rest a while. Get her mind off things as she tries to recuperate." He said. "Thank you." I said as he checked some other things and walked away.****
Damien's POVJen stood in the middle of the room in fear. I could hear the thumping of her heart as it raced faster with each second that passed. She didn't know why I was asking these questions, but she was scared and I couldn't blame her. I was sure she thought that I was about to threaten her."Sir." I could hear the apprehension in her tone. She thought I was going to harm her parents, but that wasn't why I was asking. " Answer the question, Jen," I said. " I will feel...sad, broken, and alone." She finally answered after so much hesitation."That's how my son will feel if Zeta dies.." I was going to feel worse than that and I would never let that happen. She gasped and raised her head to look at me for a second. "Alpha, is Queen Zeta dying?" She asked. With how scared she was, I wasn't expecting her to ask questions but I answered her."With the rate at which she is fainting these days, and how weak and underweight she is. What do you think?" " I-i don't know what to think.
Chapter 19 The Accident.Zeta's POV "I know you think that you have achieved your goal, but I guarantee you, that you will not win. I groaned suppressing the urge to roll my eyes, at her words. Here we go again.I was about to begin the day with torment. her royal assess. Damien left for a conference in Edinburgh, leaving me with a treacherous Belinda. I should have realized that she was only biding her time and that Damien was the only person she was truly terrified of.If I had to count the number of times, she has threatened me, it was beginning to sound like a broken record."I bear no grudges towards you," I replied, Jen bounced Adrien on her lap, for she brought him with me to the kitchen. "I warn you, for your good that you stop the ascension to the throne. Or else..." Behind trailed off."I don't want this too if you ask me. I've said this countless times." I replied, and that was the truth. If there was a way that I could lead a gentle life without being in the public eye
AUTHOR'S POV "Ma'am, what would you like to eat?" Jen repeated, causing Zeta to jump slightly. The incident is still fresh in her mind." Nothing." She replied. The thought of food made Zeta's stomach churn in a bad way. She was scared for her life, and food was the last thing on her mind.Damien was not to blame for not believing that his wife wanted her dead. She didn't have concrete evidence, and that was a huge accusation to level at someone."Ma'am..." Jen started, disrupting Zeta's thoughts, and she shook her head. She was not in the mood to argue.Jen studied Zeta. She looked a bit pale and slimmer than she was. She wanted to say more when she noticed the subtle shake of Damien's head."You can't skip dinner." Damien intervened. He knew she was reeling from the recovery, but she needed to eat."I will eat in the morning." She injected sharply. There was a pressing issue on the ground, and food wouldn't solve it.Alpha Damien sighed. "I understand how you must be feeling, but y
