Kahlan POV Suddenly, I'm awake. I felt a bit lighter. Though, it looked like I could scent everything around me, from the bed to the steak on the table.My eyes flew open suddenly, as my stomach rumbled. I felt so hungry.I pulled the blanket away from my body and my eyes went toward the food on the table. I rushed forward and it was indeed steak.I was a bit skeptical, as I discovered that my sense of smell wasn't like this. Well, it could be because I'm so hungry.Happily, I delved into the food hungrily as if there was someone close by that was going to take it away from me.Almost halfway, I realized something I hadn't initially. When I was coming over to the table from the bed, it looked as though I was a bit faster.It couldn't have been anything, right? Because I'm not really thinking well.Wait a moment! Where am I?My eyes went wide with shock as the question settled in. The steak was almost over now, though I still felt hungry, it was manageable.Why does it look like somet
Eric POVI regarded her for a moment, the way she contoured her face. She looked so cute but it won't make me forget what I plan on doing with Charlotte, Naomi, and the rest of the elders."What? What?" She demanded, with express that showed she was confusedI didn't have to tell her before she would know. She's just not paying attention to the changes. She should be the one to know she's pregnant. Meanwhile, there's a lot to do already.Kahlan is going to return to her room because I won't let her give birth in a dungeon. My son will know nothing of such."Because it's the right thing to do now. I will not give anyone the space to use you anyhow and I'm serious about it," I muttered thickly. I really want her to believe me.I desperately wanted her to believe that I would not hurt a hair of hers, and talk more about hurting her parents. Maybe if I continued to show her, she would see through the lies that my brother has created.Meanwhile, I need to settle matters with my brother and
Kahlan POV I was still shocked to say a word. I mean I don’t even know what is happening. It looked like I was dreaming until I decided to sleep and I woke up in bed again. I’ve been trying to wake up from the nightmare.Why would Eric make such a decision? Why would he want me to move to a room instead of the dungeon? There must be something wrong somewhere but what can that be?The fact that I’m unable to find out what that thing is makes me feel very frustrated.That aside, I keep scenting things so well. I can’t believe my sense of smell is getting so good.“You look happy,” a familiar, yet strange voice reached my ears suddenly. It was followed by this strange scent as well.I turned to look at Hardin. The scent that followed him was not the one I was used to scenting. There was a huge mixture and it looked like I had only been scenting the smaller part, the biggest part made me feel very powerful.I don’t want to admit it but I’m feeling strange this morning.“What are you doin
Sonia POVI watched the maid walk out, to look back at the two ladies staring right at me as if I were a monster. Maybe I am."What? Aren't we supposed to go to the Alpha's room right now? He's back and would need a change of clothes, " the one I like calling Bet said suddenly.These two have names but I prefer calling them by their nicknames.I snarled. "You wouldn't dare! I'm the only one going in now."" But_," Kim started. " According to the rule, we're supposed to serve Alpha together today. It isn't our day off."" But I'm going to make it one!" I said quickly while drawing out my claws and fangs. I don't care if I have to resort to violence to pass my message. The two ladies adjusted backward in fear. There is no match for me anyways. "Are you sure about this, Sonia?" Bet inquired.I pulled in my fangs and smiled at them. " As long as you don't interrupt me, I'm fine. You all should use that opportunity to rest, you've been working too hard recently."The two looked at themse
Eric POVI looked at myself in the mirror and a smile appeared on my face. I love the way I look. Nyall should already be waiting for me outside because I can't wait anymore.A soft knock sounded on my door and Nyall walked inside before I could say a word.I turned around and realized he brought me the two maids that I have permitted to stay with Kahlan all the time. "Here, I've gathered the others at the ground but I think these maids will have something to tell you," Nyall explained.I nodded once and took two heavy strides closer. "Raise your heads," I ordered.The maids shivered but they complied."Tell me the reason why you left Kahlan when I clearly told you otherwise?" My voice was hard intentionally. I wanted to scare them. Well, it's how I've been doing all these years and people keep thinking I'm a hard Alpha.The maids fell to the floor. "We are so sorry!" They chorused at the same time." It wasn't our intention to leave her," one of them started. " Some men came to get
Eric POVI was too shocked to speak for a moment. Wait a minute, now I was getting the real picture. This was something I have never expected. I mean I had always loved Hardin but it looked like he had always hated me because he believed that I would be the next Alpha the moment I was born.Philip was indeed Naomi's best friend and he died a few weeks after I started dating Naomi. So, Hardin killed Philip and framed it on me? Just like he framed the death of our father. Hardin has always been framing me but I didn't even know about it."Why didn't you tell me all this?""Well, you wouldn't ask. Instead, you avoided me for weeks before I found my mate. It seemed like you didn't want to have anything to do with me again," she explained.I swallowed harder, as I felt a pang of regret. I've been having this feeling recently and wondered if it was ever going to stop. Yes, she was right. I refused to see her after the incident. I shut her totally out of my life.In fact, that day I had to
Eric POVI smiled at her and released Ann's hand. "You didn't think I'm a fool, right?" I took a step closer to her to fill the space between us. " How do I know then that you didn't lie about what Hardin told you?"Naomi shook her head briefly. I didn't lie about that. I'm serious!"I shook my head as well. " Well, I don't believe you. If you could lie so much against your maid, I wonder what else you can do. And you are going to be punished for laying your hand on Kahlan."" For that maid?" She remarked.I howled in her face. " I don't want to touch you but call her that again and I will deal with ours, Naomi. That person you call a maid is my mate! My luna!" I expressed. " And I will kill anyone that does a thing to harm her. I'm just overlooking all things because of how we are but I'm going to hunt down everyone that tries to harm her and I'm going to kill every one of them!" I yelled and stepped back. " So, pack your bags and leave before I change my mind."Naomi frowned as she
Kahlan POVI couldn't think for a moment. It felt like my sense of thinking had been shut down. Wait, that couldn't be correct, right? There's no way I would be pregnant.I stood up suddenly and made a mental check before I turned to look at Eric again."You are lying!" I yelled as if I was merely trying to convince myself. Why would I be pregnant?Maybe, I'm not being realistic. I intentionally had sex with Eric that day so that I could get pregnant. With that, I would be able to plan my escape and how to avenge my pack's death. So, technically speaking, I was expecting it.Why was I so surprised?"I heard that!" Eric said suddenly.My hands went around my head in an attempt to build a fence around my thoughts. "What are you doing? Can't I think in peace?" I yelled in frustration.Eric laughed for a moment before he became sober again. "I'm sorry but you look so funny right now. I mean is it possible for a mother not to know she's with a child?"" Stop it!" I yelled again, as I rais
