Chapter 59Author's POV…Cynthia got to Oliver's place and met him pacing to and fro, he seemed so worried."Hey, I am back!" She announced and immediately he set her eyes on her, he rushed to her and hugged her tightly."I was so worried about you all throughout the night, I was almost tempted to visit the Sharp Edges pack so I could check on you. How's our baby? Hope that bastard didn't hurt you?" Oliver asked curiously and Cynthia broke the hug she then smiled at him."Not at all, everything went well and our baby is doing very well." Cynthia replied and he muttered a sigh of relief."I am so blessed with a smart lady, I never knew you could outsmart Maverick like that, tell me everything that happened, I am dying to know how you did it." Oliver demanded as he led her in.They both sat on the bed while holding each other's hands, Cynthia cleared her throat and then spoke up."He found out that I drugged him," Cynthia suddenly said and Oliver eyes widened immediately"Really? What d
Chapter 60Jolene's POV…I rushed into my father's chambers but surprisingly met Paulene there already, I ignored her and went straight to father's bed.He was laying like a log of wood with his eyes closed."Father! Father!" I called out but got no answer.My mother was sitting beside him on the bed, she was already in tears."What happened to him? Why is he like this?" I queried but my mother was unable to answer me. Paulene stepped forward and spoke up, "He fell in the bathroom and has been like this since then," "I heard this happened thirty minutes ago, why am I just getting informed?" I yelled, feeling so pissed."I ordered that no one should speak a word to you," Paulene suddenly said and I was surprised.Like seriously? "Why? Do you intend to leave your father in this state? Why didn't you inform me immediately?" "Because you were too busy," "Oh really? But I am not too busy to attend to my father! Don't tell me you just father like this since thirty minutes ago," "I am
Chapter 61Jolene's POV…Yes, I would make sure he gets well. He is suffering from hereditary sickness," she revealed and my jaws dropped."What!" Both I and Paulene chorused.Hereditary sickness? What is that supposed to mean?"All the 0adt male kings suffered from this illness, iit was this same sickness that killed your grandfather." She suddenly said and my eyes widened immediately.Does that mean my father will also die of the same illness? Oh my goodness! "What are you insinuating? Does that mean that father won't be able to make it alive?" Paulene suddenly asked and I faced her swiftly."Watch what you say and don't be too quick to jump to conclusions!" I warned and she rolled her eyes at me."I want you to do everything you can to make sure my father stays alive, whether it's a hereditary or an ancestry sickness, I don't care! What I believe is that my father's case would be different from the rest of the kings that have passed away. I need you to put your best, gather other
Chapter 62Jolene’s POV Harrison and I bulged inside the hall and saw the elders sitting, the little chanting stopped the moment they noticed our presence. We greeted them and sat on the empty chairs left. “Harrison, we would want to talk to Jolene alone now, please if you could excuse us and step out.” The elder said politely. “Alright then, I’ll leave now.” Harrison agreed. “I will see you later.” Harrison smiled, I nodded and gave a light smile and he left. “Jolene, this is important and we will want you to concur with it.” They gave me a stare, kept quiet for a while and continued. “We have heard what happened to the king and we are sure you don’t know about it.” The elder said.“Yes, the healer said it is a hereditary sickness but I’m sure he will be fine.” I replied immediately with all courage in me. Even if this hereditary sickness has killed so many kings in the past, I’m sure that same thing won’t happen to father, he can withstand all kinds of things and I’m sure this
Chapter 63Jolene POV “Princess are you okay?” She held my hand as she noticed I wasn’t balanced. I sat on my bed immediately. “What about the king?” I asked and faced my direction somewhere else. “He just regained consciousness and called for you.” Immediately I turned to face her to be sure of what I heard. “You said the king is what?” I stood up immediately. “He has regained consciousness.” She smiled heavily. “What?” I rushed and hugged her immediately out of joy. “I will go see him now.” The joy that filled my heart while running to his chambers was unexplainable. Immediately I got there and saw Paulene walking quickly to father’s chambers too. I went inside immediately. “Father!” My smile found no boundaries, I knew my father was a fighter and he would wake up eventually. I saw the healer in his room with mom sitting next to dad. I turned to look if Paulene was in already but she still hasn’t arrived. “My dear, Jolene.” Dad called my name. I rushed to him and sat at th
Chapter 64Jolene’s POV “Okay I am sorry if I sounded so insensitive, I apologise.” Harrison's voice was low. “I-i am sorry for the way I spoke, I really didn’t mean it.” I realised I was so harsh. “It’s okay, I understand.” Harrison said. “Let’s go for training?” I asked and smiled. Trying to change the mood. “Alright.” He agreed and we both left for the training hall. We fought together. I would say Harrison is quite strong but I still beat him though. “You are so strong Jolene, your skills have really improved. I am so proud and jealous of you now.” Harrison chuckled. “You have always been beating me. It’s been a while since we bought a fight.” I said and cleaned the sweat around my head.“Yes it has been a while.” “I’ll head back to my room now. I need a cold shower right now.” I said, I fanned myself with my hand. “Me too, I’ll see you later then.” I left the training hall and walked into the palace heading into my room. I took my bath, dried my hair up and stepped o
Chapter 65Jolene’s POV Tomorrow is my coronation and dad is now much more healthy and strong. I was quite nervous but I didn’t let it show. “Jolene, your big day is tomorrow.” Harrison said. “Yes it’s tomorrow.” It was already announced to the whole people of the lycan kingdom. “By this time tomorrow you will be a lycan king.” It was 9pm in the night, and in our tradition our coronation is meant to be in the night when the moon is out. “I am sorry to interrupt you two. My princess, you are summoned by the elders at the meeting hall right away.” One of the guards informed me. “Alright I’ll be there shortly.” I answered and he bowed and left. “I’ll have to go now, I will catch up later.” I said to Harrison. “Let me see off to the hall.” Harrison insisted. “Okay.” We both got to the hall“See you later.” Harrison said and left, while I walked into the hall. “Good evening elders.” I greeted them“Good evening our princess.” They all answered. “We summoned you here to tell you
Chapter 66Author’s POV It's been a few weeks now since Cynthia visited Maverick. “I think it’s time to let Maverick know I am carrying his baby and he needs to think of what we will do with the baby.” Cynthia said as she bit her lips. “It's been over four weeks, and I think you should tell Maverick now that you are pregnant.” Oliver agreed with her. “Yes, I hope he will fall for it though?” Collin added was not quite sure because Maverick was quite a smart man. “He will have too.” Cynthia was so determined. “So when will you pay him a visit?” Collin asked. “I’ll be at his house later today to tell him about it, he knows I drugged him, so he will know we had sex.” She said. Later that day Cynthia left Oliver’s place to Maverick’s house. The guards let her in and Maverick sat in the sitting room with her as they both chatted. “So what are you doing here?” He asked coldly. “I am here to see you.” She gave him a smirk. “What do you want me for?” Maverick asked.
