- 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

    - Kira -I prepared some food for Aunt Cleopatra or should I rather say, my mother-in-law-to-be, and took it to her room.Everywhere smelled of a mixture of smoke and mint and she was wearing a short black dress. She did not look like a mother at all. She looked like a badass divorced woman who doesn't take any mess from anyone.Her presence filled me with so much uncertainty and the thought of the things she could do. She replaced her child with her brother's and for years no one knew anything.Somehow, I was glad I was on her team because I couldn't imagine being on the bad side of such a woman."I made you something to eat," I told her and was surprised at the crack in my voice despite all the confidence I had mustered."Sit," she said shortly and I found a stool close to her wardrobe."I am sure by now you know who I really am to Xavier," she started and I nodded."Yes ma'am.""You can call me Cleopatra. Cleo for short.""Alright.""And Xavier tells me you are a mate," she comment

    - Kira -I wanted to see Xavier and heard him talking with someone when I got to his door and recognized the voice as his aunt's. I was just about to leave and return later when they were done talking but something caught my ears.I heard him call her mother and I was stunned. I leaned forward towards the door to be sure I heard well and they were talking as mother and child.I noticed the door was open and pulled the knob quietly. I walked in fully with a confused look on my face. At first, they did not notice me and I had to speak when I couldn't hold in the confusion. "What is going on here?" I asked and Xavier turned to look at me."Kira? For how long have you been here?" He asked back and I shook my head."I don't understand. Why are you referring to her as your mother?""She doesn't know," the older woman stated and then asked and Xavier sighed."Not yet," he replied."Doesn't know what?" Nothing was making any sense. "Xavier I thought you said she was your father's sister?""T

    - Franklin -Cleopatra was coming? She is my only sister but at this point, I don't think I am ready to have her around, not now. Somehow, for some reason, I really can't tell. But if she's on her way here already, I cannot stop her.I had better let Giselle know about it. She looked a bit nervous when I told her."I never really thought you had a sibling," she said uncertainly."Cleo has been away for a couple of years and she doesn't come around often. You wouldn't know her. Many people don't. She's my elder sister.""Wow..." She muttered and I held her close."Come on, it's nothing to worry about. At least, she's family. You should be happy to meet her.""I don't know. It's just that, I don't know what to expect when I meet her," she said, looking up at me."I understand. But I can almost assure you, you two will get along. Sometimes she can be over but it's not really that bad.""I hope so," she managed a smile. "Well, since you said she'd be here soon I will just go prepare a mea

    - Xavier -"Is there anything else you would like me to do for you, my queen?" A maid asked Giselle and she shook her head."I will let you know when I need anything, thank you," she said and the maid walked away. She rested her hand on the stairs and looked down at the pack. Her face fell into a frown when she turned to look at me."Do you like what you see?" I asked her casually."I do," she did not deny. "It's beautiful.""Indeed. I'm sure this is what you have ever wanted in your life and that's why you had to step so low and sleep with my father so you can be here.""It's worth it," she shrugged with a mocking smile."You don't belong here," I told her sternly. "A few weeks ago, I was a visitor in your pack and now you are a visitor in mine as well.""No you are wrong," she waved a finger to my face. "I am not a visitor. I am here to stay."I laughed."And you think I am going to let you? This is my pack, Giselle. And I am the crowned prince, the Alpha of this pack. If you don't

    - Frederick - "When are you going to see your father?" I asked Sia as she walked into the room. She dropped the Small basket she was holding and faced me with her hands akimbo. "Why?" She asked back. "Just answer the damn question, you gotta reply with another question," I hissed. "Okay, what is this? What's with you," she threw back at me. "If you have an issue just speak up because you know I know you. You don't always ask about my father except there is something. So you'd better talk." "You know what I like about you?" I tinted my brows. "You are very smart and you know me well." "I am your wife after all," she replied, turning away. "Well, it's true I want to see your father because some things are happening that I don't like. As the head of the Lords, I expect him to put those things in order but he's been cold about it. I think he needs someone to draw his attention to them." "And what's that?" "You ask too many questions," I grunted. "Anyway, it's about Franklin and K

    - Kira -I led the men towards the kitchen, trying hard to act as normal as possible, and sorted drinks for them to carry out."I know a place you can leave the hall but we will have to be very careful. You'll move these drinks out with me and act normal," I told them and they nodded."Okay."They quickly wore the aprons, and they looked less like suspects."Hey!" A voice boomed outside and we stopped dead. I turned round to see three hefty palace guards at the door."Hi, can I help you?" I asked with a nervous smile. The men walked in fully with bold eyes that searched everywhere."Yes you can," one of them said. "There are intruders in the palace and we are trying to fish them out."They were looking behind me at Xavier's men."Who are these men?" He finally asked."Why? These are the workers assisting me here," I replied casually with a shrug."It's that so? I have never seen these men before.""That is possible as some of them don't work in the palace before now. They were hired f

    - Xavier -I laughed. No, nothing was funny. It was just ridiculous. Father and Giselle were throwing a party for their wedding.So, the two think now that they can actually be together. They might have escaped my plots, but that does not mean anything to me because I was determined to do everything to get rid of them, including my father.I wouldn't have to wait for the child in Giselle's belly. I can't be dragging over anything with a baby. Right now, my father has become my biggest enemy since he could sleep with someone meant for me and not feel bad about it.He became my rival and competition the very day he turned against me and took Giselle into his bed. If I get him out, I become the Alpha of my pack.Either of the two must surely happen. I stationed my men at the party to take down any of the two. I was bent on ruining the wedding and shedding blood, not caring whose blood it was going to be.I sat absentmindedly as the wedding began. As his son, I was automatically invited t

    - Franklin -Giselle recovered quickly and I was very happy. However, a couple of thoughts have been running over my mind and I decided to meet her father concerning her."Alpha Franklin, please have your seat," King Marcus said as he ushered me in. "I hope there is no problem?""None at all," I replied as I took a seat beside him. "I just want to discuss with you a few things regarding your daughter, Giselle. I am planning to return to my pack, and I would like to carry her along."He paused for a while thoughtfully and then grunted."Well, I should have prepared for this long before now. After all, she is not going to stay here with me forever, just that it came a bit sudden for me.""I understand, since she's the only one you've got at the moment but I can't leave her. I worry too about the security of your pack in regards to her. I will be able to protect her more when she is with me.""You're right," he agreed with me soberly. "I have been worried too about her safety ever since

    - Franklin -I contemplated for a while, finding it difficult to say no to Giselle but not seeing the need to leave at the same time."I think he can do whatever he wants to, even with me here," I finally said, and I saw his face fall. It can't be that deep is it? Whatever. I am not changing my mind on that. Giselle frowned at me with disapproval, and I shrugged.The doctor went ahead to do his checks grumpily and I watched his every movement while holding on to Giselle's hands.At some point, I thought I saw him shaking, and I wondered if I made him uncomfortable and should have left.After a while, he was finally done and walked out. Giselle pinched me lightly."You should have gone out when he said you should," she complained with a pout. "You are so stubborn.""Now how could I have gone with you looking so cute like this," I told her with a smile. "I did not want to leave your side. And I don't like that you are not well.
