- Xavier -

I was faster to catch up with Princess Zeba before she disappeared into her room.

"What?" She turned round to face me with a frown on her face. I chuckled as I approached her.

"Keep it down," I said. "We are not fighting now are we?"

"What do you want?" She was still unsmiling.

"I know you don't like me," I told her casually as if I didn't care that she didn't. "And I might say that the feeling is mutual but it can't be that bad. I'm sure we still have a few things in common."

"Look I don't have any time to waste with you. I have more important things to deal with and worry about."

"Like trying to get my father's attention", I asked her and her face fell.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Her voice fell as well.

"I mean, you seem to have another reason for coming down here because you seem to be so free with him more than usual."

"Your father and I have known each other for many years now. We trained together so we are friends," she defended.

"Oh well, if you say so. I'm just

    - Zeba -Franklin approached us and I was glad he came at the time he did. I wonder who the hell the princess thinks she is to stand up to me.I have been in many packs and have met many princesses and Lunas who despite their positions in their packs, would bow to my feet and honor me.This little brat thinks she is something because I am in her pack. She's just a princess by nature, being the child of an Alpha King, and nothing more."There's no need to exchange words," Franklin spoke after I reported her to him and I could not understand why he was sounding calm the way he did. I expected him to call her to order."Did you hear what I just said? I said she called me names," I tried to make him see the gravity of what she had done. "She-"I heard you clear Zeba," he cut in. "But there is no point dragging this. You should let it be."Giselle grinned at me and walked away."How can you let her go despite what she's done?" I turned to face Franklin, not letting it go. His eyes remained

    - Zeba -When the princess came in, everyone had their eyes on her with what seemed to be admiration. I haven't seen them look at me that way before. I had no doubts that they honored me of course, but with Giselle, it was... different.But not to worry, I told myself. It wouldn't last for long. Whatever they felt about her will soon wear away.I wouldn't have had any problems with her if she had known her place and kept to it but since she wants to run her mouth, I might as well as shut it for her.After all, the little girl has no mother so I am not surprised she lacks manners.I have a million and one ways to deal with people but I will only give her a taste of what I can do. I waited for the right moment.But while the conversations went on, I couldn't help but notice it was geared towards her. All the noblemen began to talk to her about their proposals and plans and I got more infuriated.It was from the conversation I got to know that she might not be as simple as I thought she

    Chapter 34 - Zeba - I was just in time before she made a corner and used my power to push her down, waiting expectantly for her to counter with hers, but she fell flat on the ground. "Urgh," she groaned. I narrowed my eyes. Does it mean she was not the one with the powers? How could it be? I was almost certain she was the one or is it possible too that she is pretending. I walked to her and offered my hand to help her up. She ignored it and stood up to her feet. "Get out of my way," she threw at me. "Don't be silly," I retorted. "I was only trying to help you." "Well, I don't need your help. Move away," she tried to walk past me, but I held her back. "Wait a moment. You know what happened at that table right?" I questioned and she frowned. "What are you talking about?" She asked with what I chose to believe is feigned ignorance. "You do know what I am talking about. When the maid tripped, you saw that right?" "I said I have no idea what you are talking about," she insisted.

    - Franklin -I watched as her face fell and the smile faded off. She pushed my hand off her body roughly as if I was the one trying to invade without her permission."How dare you," she said in a fierce whisper. "How could you say such horrible things to me after seeing my nakedness.""I am only telling you the truth," I replied. "And I did not ask you to take off your clothes for me. It's the last thing on my mind."She hurriedly picked her robe sprawled on the ground and wore it back, her eyes looking at me furiously.Her chest heaved with anger but I looked at her calmly."Zeba I hope you understand me. I am not trying to use you nor take advantage of you, I...""Who is she?" She interrupted me."Who?" I was genuinely confused."The lady who is making you reject me, Franklin. Who is she?""I didn't say there was a lady...""Franklin don't take me for a fool," She half yelled. "I am not dump. I know what I am saying. Who the hell is she.""You need to calm down...""You are not goin

    - Kira -I massaged Xavier's hair gently while we spoke."I feel so distanced from you," I told him. "You seem to be occupied and so busy with everyone except me and that is not fair. Remember, I am carrying your child and I need you. Your baby need you," I sounded as pitiful as I could."I've missed you," he replied, his hands grabbing my waist and pulling me closer. I would have thought he was being affectionate until the roaming of his hand into my dress made me realize he wanted something else and I was disappointed.I was just telling him now about what he was doing I did not like and the next thing he was looking for what was not lost in my body.I pushed him away with a frown."Don't you care about my feelings?" I asked him."Of course I do," he replied but I did not believe him."Xavier I am seriously not happy with you," I told him. "You make me question your love for me and my place in your life. You make me feel as if me and this baby are not a priority to you.""Hey don't

    - Giselle -I did not pay attention to most of the conversation in the room as I battled with my drowsiness, suppressing my yawn.I was tired from doing nothing and I couldn't wait to get back to my bed. I was almost detached from my environment.Zeba kept glancing at me from time to time but couldn't care less. She picked a drink in front of her and walked towards me."Giselle, why are you so quiet," she asked cheerfully as she approached me. I eyed her suspiciously. Her decisive steps suggested she was up to something.She stood beside me and nudged me."Why are you holding in, is anything the matter?" She asked with a smile."I'm fine," I replied grudgingly as I tried to move away."You don't look fine," she held me back. "Here, you should have a drink.""No," I shook my head but she brought the cup to my face. Immediately, the nausea that had been lingering in my belly rose like tides of water.I ran away with my hand over my mouth and the other on my belly. I was sure eyes follow

    - Giselle -My heart raced in my chest and I was sure my face was white with worry as well. While I waited for the doctor's report, I had a train of thoughts and regrets.With each consideration, I saw every reason why I could be pregnant. Why did I not pay attention to this in the first place till Father noticed?What if it turns out to be true? What am I going to do?"The result shows that the princess is about two weeks pregnant," the doctor said, and I watched father's face fall.My heart dropped as well and my breath was hitched."Thank you, Max," Father said to the doctor, but I could hear the effort in his voice to hold his emotions. "You may leave."I did not want the doctor to leave as much as I did not want him to remain as well. But there was no way I would avoid Father's confrontation."How?" Was the only thing he said after the doctor had gone. That was easy to answer but tough to say. I knew how, however, it would be best not to say.If he had asked why...? That I had no

    - Franklin -"I am the one responsible," I said, and all heads turned to me. There was a dead silence in the room."Did I hear you well, Alpha?" One of the elders said."You did."I couldn't stand there and hear them say things about Giselle. There was no point hiding after all. She is pregnant and that's my child. And I am no coward. I will not shy away from the responsibility because I am afraid of what people will say.I am not afraid of anyone and don't care."Father?" Xavier threw his mouth open. "No. I know it's not true. I know also that you like Princess Giselle and that's why you have always wanted her as a bride for me. But you cannot defend her to this extent. You can't try to cover her shame by claiming you're the father of her child.""You are mistaken, son," I replied calmly. "I am not trying to defend her. I am taking responsibility for what belongs to me.""What you are trying to say is, you slept with the princess?" He asked and I scoffed. That was a ridiculous questi

    - Jason -I instinctively placed a hand on my stomach, waiting to feel any slight pain."Did you poison me?" I asked him. The seriousness dropped off his face, and he laughed. Morgan laughed long and hard, doubling over. He hit his fist on the table while he laughed, and I watched him, dumbfounded.He finally struggled to control the laughter with a wheezing sound, tears in his eyes."Gosh, you need to see the look on your face," he said. "I did not poison you, silly."I let out a deep breath I had not realized that I was holding."Now, why will I want to kill you and choose to do it by poisoning your food?" He asked, taking a cup of water from the table. He gulped it down and shook his head at me. "You looked so shaken. Are you that scared of death? For someone like you, poisoning is a disgraceful way to die, for even if I wanted to kill you, not that way."He laughed again."Morgan, that was not funny," I had to say."You think? You looked like a wrung chicken. You looked like your

    - Jason -I had just finished speaking with Alpha Sheka about very important matters of the pack and was about to leave when he called me back."That reminds me," he said. "I need to invite you to a banquet tonight. I was going to tell you earlier but I skipped. Also because of the matters at hand you know.""I understand alpha," I replied empathetically. "Where'd we get the invitation from now?""Oh it's not far," he said with a suspicious movement of his lips that could pass for a smile. "It's from my son.""Oh, that's interest...what!?" I was saying before my brain registered what I heard."Yes, my son, Morgan. He arranged the banquet specially made for me and you," he repeated and I still could not believe my ears."Did he say he wanted me at the banquet?" I still asked because I could not make sense out of it yet."He made a special request for you to be there. You are surprised, aren't you? Well, I am too. I hope you don't mind the banquet. I've always thought you two were...uh,

    - Jason -It took me a few seconds after I returned to my room, to notice someone was there. I turned around with a displeased frown on my face."What are you doing here, Morgan?" I asked him."It's Prince Morgan but yeah, I think I can let that slide since it's you and also seeing that you'd always stress me with having to correct you all the time," he said with a grimace."What are you doing in my room?" I sighed."I'm here to talk," he replied with a shrug. "Can't I talk to you?""What are we talking about and why in my room? Official meetings are not held in the bedroom.""That's it," he snapped his fingers. "Because this is not an official business.""I cannot tell when we began to have an unofficial relationship," I stated and he laughed."Maybe if you were paying attention more, you'd remember that I did mention it.""I don't want to be acquainted with you, Morgan," I said to his face. "I am fine the way we are.""Come on Jason, don't make this hard," he said, relaxing his back

    - Cleopatra -I eyed the greedy man and scoffed."What do you mean by this is not enough? Do you want four generations' wealth before you're okay?" I scowled at him."My lady, you know what it caused us to be able to cover up for you. And I have other people to settle and keep their mouths shut. You will have to remit more."I sighed tiredly."Okay fine. I am going to give you some more but that will be it. You must not complain nor ask me for anything after that. And you must not try to contact me because we can never be seen together. Do you understand?""Clearly," he replied."Good."I was able to handle him without anyone finding out about it, and I hoped it remained that way. Anna has promised to keep her mouth shut and only say what was agreed on if Giselle finds her, but I couldn't trust her.How could I hold her to her words? I looked into her eyes and saw the fear. Such a person can be easily l

    - Giselle -I was very eager for the reports, but I was disappointed."There were no prints," the experts told me. "The old lady poisoned herself to death.""You're trying to tell me she took her own life?" I asked for clarity even though I heard them. I felt like asking them why, but knew they wouldn't have an answer to that.The midwife was well, according to the reports given to me hours before I went to see her, and then she poisoned herself?This doesn't make any sense to me."There has to be a reason why this happened," I said thoughtfully as I paced around the room. "Why did she take her life? What made her do it?"I lifted my head, and Franklin was barely paying any attention to me."What do you think about this?" I asked, and he looked at me."I don't know," he said with a shrug."You don't think she'd take her life for no reason, right? What must have made her do it? Did someone threa

    - Giselle -"What?" I asked, my eyes following the direction of his hand. There was something at the edge of the bed, and I walked towards it.An old woman, obviously the midwife, was lying dead on the ground in the corner."Oh gracious heavens," I muttered, placing a hand on my chest. One of the guards moved close and picked up a bottle lying beside her."Looks like a poison," he said, lifting the bottle to his face and observing it. She had foam all over her mouth, and her body looked fresh like she could have died just a few minutes before we arrived.How did we not even notice all this while? And I looked all over the room. There were no signs of death anywhere.Gosh, I was this close to getting her, I lamented."Looks like murder," Another commented, what was going through my mind."What do we do now?" They asked me after moments of staring at the cold body beneath.

    - Kira -"Well?" Mother asked as soon as I got into the room. "Have you been able to find out something?""Nothing yet," I told her with a sigh. "And there are no signs to show me exactly what is happening.""I am sure that lady is up to something," Mother said thoughtfully with a finger on her lip. "I can tell it. She came to me and asked some questions, and that's typical of someone who wants to go looking for answers."I turned to look at her properly with some suspicion."You are not sure what she is up to? I think you should know since she discussed something with you. You think it's related to that," I pointed out."She said she just wanted to know a few things about her mother and asked me because I was Meredith's maid. At a point, I thought she was just asking because she wanted to know what her mother was like, but now I think something else is triggering her.""So? Is that something that should worry you? Do yo

    - Kira -I pushed his hands slowly off my body."There is no man but you, Xavier," I said quietly. "And yes, maybe I have a couple of male admirers, and I look at a few men, you've been the only one in my heart and the man I want to spend my life with. If only you had made moves to make me yours legally, maybe we wouldn't be here. Maybe I wouldn't even be looking at another man and admire him because I already have you.""Kira," he called softly, calming down. "Gosh, how can I be so insensitive? I'm so sorry, honey. I'm so sorry. I did not mean to make you feel this way.""Xavier, I have been asking you what you intend in this relationship. I have been the only one pushing, and it's not fair that you make me go through this, then think I am seeing someone.""You are right," he said. "I shouldn't have said that. I was just overwhelmed because you didn't sound trusting anymore, and most women sound like this when they have a man loving them somewhere, so I was worried. Look, I love you

    - Cleopatra -"What do you mean?" Anna looked at me questioningly."You know me well, my dear. I always keep to my word unless it's almost a matter of life and death, and in this case it is," I said, and she leaned back on the chair, her eyes not leaving mine."If that's the case, I don't think I have so much to worry about. I'm already on the end road of life.""This doesn't concern you alone," I said with a frown, slightly annoyed with what she just said. "I am involved in this too, and if you're too excited for the journey of the afterlife, then I am not, and this is not the way I want to go.""Too bad for you then, and why are you telling me? What can I do for you?" She threw at me, and I took a deep breath, holding in my anger."If it had nothing to do with you, I wouldn't be here," I said. "Now, will you shut your mouth for a moment so I can speak? You don't even know what I am here for.""It's almost not hard to tell, but anyway, you can go ahead.""After all these years, Frank
