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
AUTHOR'S POVAt the crow of the roosters, Damien finally finished working. it was morning already. He yawned loudly, removed his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and proceeded to sip the almost cold coffee.He dragged his feet tiredly to his room, he needed to sleep. He had kept watch over Zeta when she fainted that if he didn't close his eyes now, he would be taken to the hospital.Zeta woke up at the sound of the door opening, but she pretended to still be asleep. Damien let out another big fat yawn, as he strode to the bed, dusted his feet, and climbed into bed. Not bothering to take a shower, he went out like a light.Zeta was unable to sleep, due to hunger pangs, and her tummy ached, so she decided to prepare a fast meal to eat. It was still early. Hopefully, she wouldn't bump into any of her rivals.This was her thought until she heard the sound of the television, which gave its hue illuminating the living room.She discovered a figure lying on the couch. She attempted to pass by quie
Chapter 21Zeta's pov"Ahh!" A yelp of surprise escaped my lips as I jolted awake, the cold icy sensation pulled me from my dreams.My body and bed were drenched in water. Confused, I stared at the figure standing in front of me holding a bucket."What the fuck Belinda!" I yelled, wiping water from my face."How dare you-"Shut up!" she cuts sharply, biting her bottom lip as she tried to hide her amusement."It's past eight o'clock and you're still in bed who's going to prepare the meals since your 'accident' you've become lazy" she snarled tossing the bucket on my lap.The way she said the 'accident' convinced me she knew it was no accident. How heartless could she possibly be, even if she got me out of the way Damien could never love a wretched soul like her.I ran my hand through my hair trying to drain out the cold water. A shiver steered down my spine as the chilling feeling washed over me."I'll be there in a minute" I said looking at my drenched clothes and sheets. The AC never

"She must have... ran into heavy traffic, it's not quite long she... left" Jen startled looking any where but the Alpha's direction.He took her in vaguely aware she was hiding something. He scoured the room and saw a mug and then her phone."Why would she leave this?" he asked walking towards the phone."She must have forgotten you know she was in a hurry she had missed her alarm and maybe forgot to take her phone""Well it explains why she wasn't taking my calls I'll give it to her at the office""No!" Jen blurted rushing to his side.''I'm sure you have other things.... to do Alpha why worry about her phone I assure you... my lady is fine" Jen said feeling be
