Ronan’s POV…
I took a deep breath and dropped my quill after finishing the letter. I then called in one of my guards.
“Patrick!”
He was standing just outside the door, so it didn’t take long for him to respond.
“Yes, sir!” He called as he ran into my outer chamber. I handed the letter to him before giving my orders.
“Send the messenger to go and deliver this immediately. The letter should be delivered to Fiona Marlan. She is a young peasant omega who resides in Abia, one of our sub-territories, just after the
Author’s POV…Upon entering his chambers after the meeting, Alpha King Ronan was met with a visitor.“Uncle.”“Oh, King Ronan. I must say your absence nearly scared us all to death! We were all worried about where you’d gone, or worse, if you’d even been killed. In fact, no one knew what to imagine. Praise be to the goddess for bringing you back safely!”“Thank you, uncle Callum. Thank you so much for keeping my throne safe while I was away.”“There is no need to thank me, my son. All I did
Ronan’s POV…I woke up in the middle of the night to find the space beside me empty. It made me wonder where Freya had gone.I got up, putting on my robe to search for her. I was about to leave the room when I heard sobbing sounds coming from our balcony. I immediately went there only to meet my wife, who had soaked her nightgown with tears.“Freya. Why are you crying at such a late hour?”Freya sniffed. “Don’t act as if you don’t know the very thing that has bothered me every night for over a decade!”&ldquo
Author’s POV…Ronan laid her on her back, sliding his body next to hers. His fingers ran through her hair as he looked into her eyes. His lips softly kissed her forehead, eyelids, nose, then chin… Slowly moving to the side, kissing her ear, then to the other side. His lips hovered above hers along the way, then finally to her lips.They kiss deeply, passionately as if they were breathing for each other, hungry with desire as if they had not eaten in days. As they kissed, their hands explored slowly, intimately, and deliberately. His hand eventually settled onto her ass, reaching around and cupping it firmly, pulling her in tight. His fingers pushed into the crease between her legs and pressed against her pussy as he felt the moistness soaking through her pants.
Fiona’s POV….Dear Fiona,I apologize for the manner in which I decided for us to part ways, but believe me when I say it was for the best. I fully regained my memory, and I once again have a full understanding of the man I am.I am a very powerful man, Fiona. A man with many responsibilities, and upon regaining my full self, I had to return home to tend to those duties immediately.I owe you my life, and I am very grateful for all the help you and Inna have given me. I promise that your sacrifice for me will not go unrewarded. Thanks to you both, I am healed now,
Fiona’s POVMy bones felt like they had been broken into a thousand pieces. I struggled to sit up. Fluttering my lashes slowly I glanced around the room and it almost felt alien. I remember falling to the ground unconscious.“Someone must have nurtured you back to a conscious state,” Rin said.A dry cough escaped my lips causing me to wince at the discomfort. Just then Inna walked in with a bowl of hot steaming soup in hand.“Oh, my dear. You are awake.” She said placing the bowl cautiously next to me. Her hand roamed my face for a little while. “How do you feel now? Thank the goddess that I came in j
Ronan’s POVI thought Fiona would be very much satisfied with the gold pieces that were sent to her. She is no doubt an emotional being but then what happened between us was an unintended act on both sides. Both of us weren’t in the right frame of mind. I had temporarily lost my memory and she was going through a heartbreak. As much as I know she isn’t the kind of person to play loosely around. She just has to let go of this one.“You promised not to hurt her,” Dion stated.I stomped the ink on the quill violently on the paper causing the letters to smudge. “This isn’t in my power. I wish
Ronan’s POVTimon was so silent for so long that it bothered me. It appears my words had him in a numb state.“Say something before I lose the rest of my sanity,” I mumbled in a stiff tone.He sat up and coughed lightly. “As the Alpha King a mere omega like myself can’t question you.”I tilted my head trying to figure him out. “Are you playing games with me?”“I only have one burning question. How did it happen? You have always held on tightly to your principles. You are well respected for always keeping
Fiona’s POVI sighed heavily for the umpteenth time. My mind has been in extreme turmoil since I discovered that I am pregnant. What bothers me the most is the Alpha King’s unresponsiveness towards me. I do understand I am a peasant, but I saved his life. He should be able to give me that regard. However, I know my reasons are more selfish than that.The situation I am in at the moment has devolved me from any sleep. I stay awake all night just brooding. I shouldn’t have to go through all of this. Not after everything that has happened to me in the past few weeks. Tears stung the back of my eyes and I wiped them off quickly when I heard some rustling by the door.Rin stood on guard when the sound of knocking became clearer. It's late into the night. I don’t and have never had a visitor come by at this hour. The knock came again and this time it was more desperate. Just then a voice came to me from the mind portal.“There is no need to be afraid, Fiona. It is me. Open the door.” He sai
Ronan’s POVLouis let out his loud childish laugh as I tickled his side. It feels so good to finally get the chance to play with my child. We have gotten closer as it should be. He has stuffed himself with every sweet chewables the party has to offer. I have a feeling Isla would have a hard time putting him to bed.“So sorry, Your Highness. I will take him now.” Isla pleaded.“It is alright, Isla. Thank you. Where is my wife?”“She is getting changed.”“Alright, thank you.”After the usual open ceremony that involved every member of the Nestorian kingdom, Fiona was crowned as the Luna Queen. We returned to the palace to celebrate with a ball, ushering in anyone who desired to attend. Fiona made the most beautiful bride I have ever seen in her wedding dress. I wish we didn’t have to be so engaged in honoring our guests and just have her to myself.“Wow, he is, the man of the hour.” Timon teased sitting next to me.“I have been looking around for you. Where have you been?” I questioned.
Fiona’s POVI glanced discreetly at Ronan and smiled to myself. He looks much better than he was a month ago. When Lord Timon arrived with a carriage saying we were returning to the palace, I thought it was a joke. I had almost given up on the thought that we would ever get to return since Ronan never seemed to have an answer.When we arrived there was a lot of acknowledgment from the very people who didn’t care to see me. I never knew Ronan’s uncle and didn’t think too highly of him after hearing about all that he did. What I didn’t expect was the situation of Freya. It was okay when she plotted to have me dead, but shocking at her intention to kill Ronan. You never know what people are capable of. Dawn didn’t appear too concerned about the death of her father, but she finally got the chance to mourn her mother properly.I felt sorry for Dawn and Ronan, even though my experience wasn’t as epic as theirs. I do know what it feels like to have the ones you trust to play on your heart an
Ronan’s POVMy entire world felt like a lie. I still can’t get over everything that Elder Callum expressed. To think I felt guilty for ever suspecting him. All the while I had sleepless nights and battled for my life, he was plotting against me.“Why don’t you go back to the palace, Your Majesty, and let me sort this out,” Timon said.I shook my head feeling a nasty ache making its way to my head. “No, please, I want to see for myself.” I insisted.We were headed for Elder Callum’s house to search properly this time. Even though I still can’t get over the shock of all that he said and his death, I want to get a glimpse of everything. The house was agog when we arrived. All of the maids and guards looked on in fear as Timon and his men searched every room in the house.The remains of Aunt Celine were the first thing that was found. Callum had it wrapped up in a bag and put it into the room she had slept in when she was alive. It was obvious that it was her from the burnt remains of her
Author’s POVThere was an eerie feeling in the air as Ronan moved through the woods stealthily. He could sense some presence behind the thick bushes, and even though whoever it was did try to hide its scent, he caught a whiff of it and it almost seemed familiar. He should have listened to Timon who advised that he took a carriage to meet with his family. But something told him to go his usual route.He halted his steps to listen to be sure he heard right. All of sudden a big wolf matching his frame jumped at him from nowhere sinking his teeth into Ronan’s upper body, but he missed and only got to tear out a bit of his fur. Before he could get a grip on the situation, the attacker pushed him to the ground aiming for his neck vein. Ronan fought hard and gave the wolf a wild kick that sent him reeling backward.Ronan hurried to his feet, gnashing his teeth at his attacker. Just then the attacker shifted into their form leaving Ronan in shock. Callum turned out to be the one behind the wo
Ronan’s POVSomeone banged recklessly on the door waking me up roughly from my sleep. I have barely gotten an hour of sleep in. My mind has been laced heavily with thoughts that had prevented me from sleeping at the due time. Groaning, I sat up with my back bent. It's actually morning, how long was I asleep?Timon made his way in, bowing slightly towards me. “Your majesty,”“Really? Why would you hit on the door like that?” I questioned.“It was not my doing. Ava was at the door.”“Has she lost her mind? Where are the guards when you need them to do their jobs? Why wake me up so early in the morning?”“It's not exactly morning your majesty. It is way past noon. Are you alright? You don’t look well rested.”I rubbed my forehead, staring intently at the wall. “Something is coming, Timon. But I do not know what it is and my heart is burdened. I couldn’t get any sleep because of it. If anything goes wrong please protect my family.”He sighed. “Don’t be like that, we will resolve whatever
Ronan’s POV“Where is that bastard?” Levi yelled as he stormed my study.Three guards stood behind him ready to strike at my order. They must have restrained themselves since he is my in-law. I nodded towards them to excuse us. Timon gave me a questioning nod.“What is all this about Levi?” I inquired.“Oh, really? So you do not know what all this is about? Where is my sister, Ronan? Did you have your child bearer skin her alive? So what if she tried to kill her? Isn’t she an intruder in the first place? You should be ashamed of yourself for picking a mere stranger over your mate.” He ranted.I exchanged a confused look with Timon before looking back at the fuming man. “What you are saying now is that you do not see any wrong in what your sister did?”“Yes, and for what it is worth, you are to blame. If you didn’t turn away from her and make her feel unneeded she wouldn’t have gone that far. But what excuse do you have now that she is carrying your child and your child bearer is very
Author’s POV“Freya?” Callum called out. No response came. He rubbed at his neck in discomfort and moved closer. She was unmoving and blood appeared to be flowing from her head to the ground.He gulped hard and felt her pulse. Callum cursed under his breath at the eventuality of his action. Not only had her breath seized, she couldn’t be revived. Freya was dead. Covering his eyes with both hands, he groaned like a wounded lion. This wasn’t supposed to end like that. The only death he intends to have on his hands next is Ronan’s.His breath hitched at every passing second. Rising to his feet, he took in a deep breath to calm himself. There is no need to start hyperventilating when the deed has already been done. First, he has to get her cleaned up and find a way to dispose of her body, but then it will take a lot of work. If anyone gets to know that the queen is missing, it won’t take long for her to be traced down to him.Callum searched around for anything that would do to stuff her
Author’s POVFreya gasped for breath like she had been hit in the chest. Nothing prepared her for the murderous look in his eyes. She could sense the irritation in his expression. Her legs wobbled and her lips quivered. Ronan was supposed to be obsessed with her now that she was pregnant. He is meant to cherish her like no other. Instead, he appears to be disgusted by her.She pulled at her hair with shaky hands. A muffled scream escaped her lips, she tried hard to let it all out but nothing came. The tears rolled down her face, almost blinding her. Freya sat still just staring blankly into space. It is as if every time she tries to give Ronan a chance to amend his ways, he walks onto the destructive path.Regret creeps in as she thinks of Callum. He had been the only one who came to her rescue and assured her of a secure future. Instead of making sure their relationship is sealed and they have themselves to count on. She plotted his death. All because of Ronan.The more she thought a
Ronan’s POV“You didn’t find anything?” I asked Timon for the umpteenth time like my ears had gone deaf.He bowed his head, “I am sorry, Your Majesty. I must have gotten the wrong information.”Ruffling my hair, I sank onto the couch feeling an unexplained exhaustion. I had eventually hurried back to the palace in the hope that Timon would catch onto something. Even though we do have a missing knife to prove that my uncle had something to do with his friend's death, it is not enough to accuse him of killing his wife.Even though it doesn’t sound right, I am beginning to hope he might have a link to the enemy tormenting me. It probably was Elder James. What if my uncle was trying to defend me? Won’t it be wrong of me to be so hard on a person who is more like my parent?Timon dragged a foot on the ground. “Please say something.”I held his gaze, shrugging. “I really wish I could say something to you, but I do not know what to say. I must admit that I was eager to hear the outcome of yo
