Ronan’s POVFiona wouldn’t talk to him unless it had something to do with our son. I don’t know how else to tell her that I do not understand what is happening. Why would Freya have such cold intentions when she knows that the child is mine? Did jealousy get the best of her? I have to return to the palace as soon as I can. Since Fiona won’t say anything more. I should be on the move then.“My love…..” I drawled from the door with Dawn next to me.Fiona had Louis in hand, cradling him. “What do you want, Ronan?”“I have to return to the palace. But I have instructed the guards to keep a close eye on you all and the doctor. I will be back soon.”She didn’t bother to look to my side and only nodded. Dawn gave me a pitiful glance.“Let me see you to the entrance.” Dawn offered.“Thanks. Please help me keep a close eye on her. She isn’t in her best state of mind.”“Don’t worry yourself, uncle. I will take care of her.” She assured.I stopped in my tracks to face her. “Dawn, do you not miss
Ronan’s POVIsla looked pale after her confession. I twitched my nose while trying to understand her words. It’s almost unbelievable that Freya would partake in the killing of someone.“How long has this been going on?” I inquired.With her head bowed, she sniffed. “Since she found out that you and Lady Fiona might be having affection towards each other. She would have made it happen earlier, but she wanted to save the child. Just so only you two would be in his life.”“Why would you agree to such a thing?” I know it is not her fault but I can’t help it.“She had promised to get my son back and grant me another thing I desire if I did it. However, I got to know Fiona and realized she was just a victim of circumstance like I was. She would have avoided the situation if it was in her power. I was at a crossroads at the time you called me to your study to ask if I needed anything. Your help with no strings attached made me come back to my senses, Your Highness. I promise I had no intenti
Author’s POV“Freya?” Ronan mumbled, masking the surprise he felt.Freya looked between the king and Timon. She had a feeling Timon would open his big mouth to tell Ronan about what he had seen in Isla’s room. The intention was to explain her own side of the story before the actual truth came out.“I will excuse myself,” Timon said as he rose up to leave.“You shouldn’t be standing, Freya. Take a seat.” He husband urged.She folded her arms with a raised brow. “Is everything alright? Why are you in bed at this time of the day?”Ronan shifted. He had totally forgotten about what happened to him. Timon must have done a good job at making sure no one else in the palace knew of his fall. He thought that was what brought Freya over.He shrugged. “I just wanted to take a rest. It's been a long day. Why are you here?”“Does it bother you? Or because you feel bad since you were talking about me.” Freya retorted.“Yes, we were. I didn’t realize I had to take permission before talking about you
Fiona’s POV“Will Isla ever return?” Dawn inquired.I inhaled deeply, staring outside from the window and hoping to see Isla walk in. She doesn’t deserve to have her life wasted just because someone powerful thinks she was betrayed.“I wish I had an answer to give you, Dawn. I am just as clueless as you too.”She rubbed at my back gently. “Don’t worry, she will be fine. Give me a minute to check on Louis.”“Okay, thank you,” I mumbled.Dawn is the reason I haven’t lost my mind yet. Being with a sick fussy child can be very demanding. Isla’s presence from before made it easy for me to cope with having a newborn. With her being away, it was a bit hard to settle into the new routine. Aside from that, my thoughts have been mangled for days.With Ronan leaving hurriedly, it makes me concerned. All that matters to me is getting my only friend back. I miss my man too, but at this point, I might as well face my truth and accept that Ronan isn’t mine to keep. He is supposed to be here with his
Fiona’s POVI wondered how long Ronan had been running before he finally decided to make a stop. His breathing was uneven. And we had to call out to one of the hidden guards to help bring him in. He spent an entire day in bed, taking the herbs that Isla had gotten from a doctor in the village. I couldn’t sleep because my eyes were on him. Until I was sure his breathing had fallen into place, that was when I got to relax.Something tells me it might be because of Freya’s actions that he was unaware of in the past. I can almost imagine what he might be feeling. I had been betrayed like that by Lauren, she had been my friend for years yet I didn’t know what she was capable of doing. She made sure to make me look like a fool. People like Freya are most dangerous as they are very unpredictable. If I had my way, I would confront her and see who gets the last shot.“How is he now?” Dawn asked when I joined them in the kitchen.“Better. Just need to rest more. I have no idea what is happening
Ronan’s POVFiona slept peacefully next to me. Her resting face is so beautiful. Dion howled in agreement. If I had my way, I would remain here and with my small family, forgetting about whoever might be after me. I don’t seem to possess the strength to keep on any longer.On second thought, wouldn’t it be cowardly of me to run off? Staying away does not even mean they wouldn’t come at me. I leaned forward to kiss Fiona on the forehead, she chewed her mouth cutely before turning her face away. I smiled softly. I guess we can go back to the palace now. Since the one who wanted her dead has been caught.“I do not think that is a good idea.” Dion mused.“Why?” I questioned.“We still do not know the person intending to hurt you. What if you return with them and they go after either Fiona or your son?”He does have a point and that only makes me mad. We can’t keep hiding for the rest of our lives. I need to do something about it and it has to be quick. I am more determined than ever to ge
Author’s POVTimon appeared to be having fun as he moved alongside his men towards Callum’s house. He has kept tabs on the older he-wolf for a long time. For the sake of the Alpha king, he had kept his thoughts to himself to avoid getting into any trouble. Involving in the royal family feud can put whoever it is in a tangled mess.His suspicions were right, he had hidden the truth of his discovery from Ronan to keep him from being anxious. There was no girl. Even though he was able to sneak into the house with the help of a known maid to search around for anything that might be suspicious.Now that he has finally been able to pick something out, it makes him feel a tinge of hope that their longtime enemy will be caught. He knew he wouldn’t be able to do anything on his own, which was why he pulled Ronan in.“What is happening?” Callum questioned them at the entrance of his house. Someone must have informed him on time of what was happening.Timon shrugged. “Nothing that a few searches
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
