Cedric crossed his arms as he shrugged. The woman doesn't speak. He didn't know the reason why and it wasn’t a good time to ask why she didn't speak. But they stayed in Paxton’s room and watched the lady expertly and gracefully pin the needles on his body.

“Is she a doctor?” Cedric asked the doctor who nodded.

“She’s a resident, with expertise in herbs and pseudoscience. She’s a genius in class as well.”

“I see.” Cedric nodded as he looked at Lavinia and watched the woman do that. She set a timer and stood straight. She kept her head down and she kept glancing at Paxton’s body.

Since the guy was so busy, he probably couldn’t get laid since he didn't look much at ladies. He was minding his business and focused on what was important to him. Perhaps, this lady can stay.

“The lady can stay,” Cedric said. “I think we need her more to keep the Duke calm.”

The doctor hesitates to leave.

“Before you go, we need her name,” Cedric said as the doctor pressed his lips and forced him to smil

    Hungry. Bella was monstrous when she’s hungry and Paxton made sure that everything was on the table. Cedric cooked breakfast and Lavinia was helping while Bella had a big appetite. “You need to eat as well,” Bella said and kicked the chair toward him, she’s herself and she’s a gangster. He swore that he got goosebumps a while ago when she scolded the King. “Yeah, sure.” Paxton sat down as he looked at Lavinia. “The nurse… did she have her breakfast?” “She asked if she could eat in her room and I delivered it a while ago,” Lavinia answered while flipping the bacon. “I see,” Paxton said as Bella was busy nibbling on her bacon. “But isn’t she a doll?” Bella asked. “Paxton, you are so lucky to have such beauty. So, King Dominick is giving you a two-week break from work.” Dominick groaned as he glared at Bella. She then gently reached his face. “Hey, look at Paxton. He’s stressed. He needs a break. By the way, what’s the name of the doctor that attended you? You need to take a

    She should be in the kitchen. She should be sleeping. But then she wanted her sister to have safe food in the castle. They should have stayed at Bella's house. It was safer and she had a lot of stock. She doesn't know how much money Bella had but all of the family assets will surely be hers. Monique watched as the maids helped her. Although she insisted that she didn’t need help, they still would. Her mate doesn't want her to do these things known as chores. But it wasn’t a chore for her. She knew how to do simple tasks andshe enjoyed it. She remembered that her mother and grandparents would always cook food all together. She would join as well and the best thing was enjoying their company. She noticed that one of the maids poured something on one of the soups. She then watched from her peripheral vision andshe could smell it as well. She’s half wolf and half vampire. She didn’t bother interrupting her but she knew well how she did it. “Deliver that to Duke Paxton’s room. He and he

    He would leave me… Winter has already. This is the reason why she told him that she was not good enough for his mate. He’s a Duke and he can’t marry someone disabled with a severed tongue. She covered her face as she started sobbing. Her mate was there in front of her frozen, unable to respond but after a few seconds, he pulled her wrists. “Who did it?” He asked. “Tell me who did it?” His eyes were murderous… more dangerous than she had ever seen anyone. “Write it.” He said as he quickly searched for pen and paper. She sobbed and he wanted to throw everything in anger. It was cut? Fuck it. All he could see was red. He wanted to kill someone. He wanted to torture the person who did it to her. He didn’t realize that Bella entered when they didn’t hear the knocking. “Paxton! Did you make her cry?” Bella exclaimed as she quickly approached Winter. “Are you alright?” She asked. “Did he hurt you?” She shook her head as she rubbed her chest. Bella stood straight as she looked at Paxton.

    Paxton hesitates to leave the castle. But after his mate was nearly killed, he can’t stay here with a weak body. He placed the documents over the table and Ciel was checking everything. Then, he looked at the location where Caleb pointed as Monique finally entered. “There’s something in there…” Paxton said. They all looked at where he was pointing. “Cedric said that only Daniel’s could open it.” “Our blood?” Monique asked as she crossed her arms and scooped her chin. “I think Grandpa mentioned that. It said that it was their investigations through the people who committed treason in the castle. I think even a member of the royal family was involved.” Paxton’s eyes widened as he frowned. He found out that even his family might be involved. But whatever mistake they made, it’s still a treason. He was both anxious as Monique shook her head. “I won’t open it.” She said, “Bella could. I don’t have the blood of Daniels anymore.” “But it seems that you know what’s in there.” Ciel cros

    Paxton didn’t let her have a chance to get her things from her residence. He had someone drive them directly to the airport. She couldn’t retaliate since she was mute. She couldn’t say a thing at all. Winter understood that Paxton had a lot of things on his mind. He didn’t open up anything. In the airport, a private jet was waiting for them and she sat across in one of the luxury seats. He stopped from overthinking as he smiled at her and reached her hand. “What would you like to eat? How about champagne?” She only stared into his eyes. “Let’s have something to eat then.” He said as the attendant approached him. “How about sushi?” He asked. She shook her head. “Burgers?” She smiled and nodded. “We’ll have burgers.” “Yes, sir.” The attendant nodded. He moved closer and took both of her hands as he kissed both. “I know it is too sudden. But I can’t let you go. I found you finally and it’ll be hard for me if you are so far…” She only smiles at him. “It’ll

    Winter was wearing his coat since she hasn’t bought anything with her but herself and her needles. It looked like an abandoned castle with lots of vines. The staff came out and lined up as they bowed at him. “Welcome home, your grace.” He nodded. “Is my room ready?” He asked, still holding Winter’s hand. “Yes, your grace.” They eyed her as they bowed their heads. She bowed as Paxton looked down at her with a smile. “How about our bath?” Paxton asked. “It’s ready anytime.” The head of the castle said. “How about the things I ask?” He asked.“They will be here in thirty minutes, sir.” Winter didn’t think that it was an abandoned castle. The inside was clean, and everything seemed to be old but good old. She tried to keep up with him and nearly tripped as he apologized to her. He scooped her and carried her upstairs. She tapped him and shook her head. But he only smiled. “I know you are tired. Let’s get lazy today.” She hugged his neck and leaned on him. He kissed her shy face

    Seeing her eating so much steaks and seafood made him happy. What they needed to find was a journal… something like that.“Let’s have this tomorrow.” He said as he dipped the claw of the lobster in the cajun sauce and fed it to her. “So, would you like to sleep more?”She wiped her hands as she spoke to him through sign language. Searching for your dad’s journal?He froze and did not realize that. Her father or mother probably kept a journal. “You are right, darling.” He sighed. “Yes, we could do that.” He had her dressed up in a long dress with long sleeves since it was cold in the castle. They headed to the storage of his father’s old belongings and they started digging. Everything was covered with white sheets to keep the dust off. Suddenly, an adorable sneeze echoes in the room. Paxton giggled as he approached her and pulled his shirt to wipe her nose. “I’ll have this cleaned by tomorrow.” He said as he went to the window and opened it. A cold breeze entered the room andsomeho

    The preparation for the ball was all about the King’s engagement with Bella. From the House Daniels. Monique was helping Ciel gather all of the data for the possible suspects of the assassination. Bella stared at the gown that Kyle chose for her engagement. “White is perfect,” Kyle said while showing her the handmade sequence and trails. “What would he wear?” She asked. “A white tux, it’s like a pre-wedding.” Kyle clasped his hands. “I see.” She crossed her arms. “I am not very fond of ball gowns. But this one looks heavy.” “It has petticoats and layers to make it balloon. But don’t worry, it has pockets.” Kyle winked as she grinned. “Perfect.” She finally fit it in and since her stomach wasn’t that big, the dress fitted on her perfectly. “Good job, Kyle. Did you design this?” “Yes, of course,” Kyle said proudly. “I need to look gorgeous in front of the King. So he wouldn’t be able to take his eyes off me.” She said. “He surely won’t take his eyes off you,” Kyle said proudl

He doesn't want them to open her up as the doctor said that a C-section could be done. But she also doesn't want that to happen. “My Queen,” Dominick exhaled as he slowly approached her.
