Ronan’s POV
Timon 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
Fionaโs 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 Kingโs 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 shouldnโt 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 donโt 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.โThere is no need to be afraid, Fiona. It is me. Open the door.โ He sai
Ronan’s POV“I am pregnant!”Fiona’s words kept circling my head as I ran frantically through the woods. I had to return to bed quickly last night when Freya mindlinked me to know where I was. I didn’t get the chance to think of what happened with Fiona. However, I was forced to get up earlier than usual to comb the woods since I couldn’t sleep with all of the thoughts in my head.She can’t possibly be pregnant and if she is it is definite as I could smell another faint innocent scent on her last night. Freya will have my head when she gets to know about it. Just when I thought I could escape my past actions. I keep getting dragged into the mud deeper.
Authorโs POVFreyaโs eyes darted back and forth as she tried to take in Ronanโs words. โWhat do you mean by that?โRonan exhaled. โI got someone pregnant.โHer lashes fluttered causing her to shift into the bed frame. Bedazzled, she got up quietly to put on her dress. Freya pinched herself to be sure she wasnโt dreaming. To think she had offered Ronan an alternative to their childlessness a while back and he had blatantly refused making promises to her to never lay with anyone else. She tried to control the excessive shaking of her hands but she couldnโt.Ronan shifted uncomfortably. โFreyaโฆ..โShe glared at him with tear-laced eyes. โWhat do you have to say? Is this your way of mocking me, Ronan? What did I ever do to you? If you were so bothered about not having an heir why did you pretend all through the years and act like a saint that you are not?โHe shook his head quickly feeling hurt by her words. โI promise you, my love, it's not what you think. I would never intentionally hur
Ronanโs POVI watched Freya closely as she played with her meal. Not even half of it is gone. She has never been a picky eater. However, that is what I have had to watch for the past few days now to my frustration. She is either doing it to remind me of my actions by being petty or her appetite is really not there. Both ways I am guilty of everything. It's my fault she isnโt acting like herself.โMy love, why arenโt you eating?โ I asked.She flared her nose at me with intense hurt in her eyes. Without a word, she took a loud gulp of water and left me at the table. The guards and maids in place kept their heads bowed pretending not to see what just happened. I am sure loads of rumors about our disagreements will spread out soon.None of that bothers me though. I am more concerned about what becomes of my fate today. I can no longer stand Freyaโs cold attitude towards me. I want my attentive and loving queen back. With the help of Timon, we were able to decide on what to do with Fionaโs
Fionaโs POVโI know how hard-working you are, Fiona. But that doesnโt mean I would put my business at risk for you. You are not in good shape to do the work. I canโt lose any daily customers because you are either too tired or dragging behind with the orders. Please leave. You can return after you have put to bed.โ Basi said to me.I stood with my shoulders slouched and my legs aching badly from the bad posture. There was no need for him to talk nicely but I guess he just had to. My bump is growing and many people are beginning to notice even when I try my best to hide it by sucking in my belly. The showing aside, it seems like my strength is draining away each passing day. I canโt seem to do the things I would usually do with ease anymore.I raised my teary eyes to look at him. โPlease, Basi. I have nowhere else to go. I promise to do better from now on.โBasi shook his head stubbornly, โYou said that last month, and now you have gotten worse from that time. To compensate you I woul
Ronanโs POVIt felt like forever since Fiona chose to walk out on me without accepting to hand over the child. I was hurt by her decision and after a while, I thought it was good for my relationship with Freya. However, the thought of my first-ever fruit being away from me made my heart ache every day. I couldnโt tell my thoughts to anyone except Dion.This was why it came as a shock and delight to me at the same time when Fiona finally reached out to say she would be the child bearer. I know it must have been a very hard decision for her to make before coming to that resolution. I had sent the guard from the last time to bring her back to the palace and ensure she was comfortable.There is a small house hidden away from the main building. No one will notice her presence. I already scrutinized a trustworthy maid with the help of Timon since Freya wanted nothing to do with it. I have a lot to tell Fiona. I realized all thanks to Dion and Timon that I might have come off too harsh on he
Fionaโs POVMy tears soaked the bed sheet and for a moment I felt regretful that I didn't talk to King Ronan right. He hasn't done anything wrong to me. But that doesnโt make it any easier to deal with. I sat up folding my legs into my chest. I glanced around the room and as large as it was, it felt choking.I have never felt much loneliness after my parent's death. I always had my best friend and lover around me. After they betrayed me there was Chan whom I thought was going to be my companion. Now that he turned out to be a king, I would be delusional to think he would want anything to do with me.I wiped at the tears rolling down my face. I canโt wait for all of this to be over and I get to make good use of my life. My hand rubbed at my belly slowly. There is nothing fanciful about my life. Here I am waiting to pop out my child and have him or her traded off. I canโt even imagine what would become of my emotions after it is all over.โLetโs wait until then. For now, focus on birthi
Ronanโs POVIf the earth does have some kind of life in it. It would be in extreme pain I am sure. The way I thumped on it as I ran recklessly through the woods. That would be a lot of body ache. I couldnโt stop thinking about Fiona, at first when I saw her, and the emotion of desire stirred inside me. I thought it was just because of the moment and the rising tension between us.However, I felt repelled when I woke up in the middle of the night from a wet dream about Fiona. My dick was semi-hard when I got up. Freya was sleeping soundly and I had to come out here to burn whatever thoughts might be creeping up my mind. As hard as I tried my insides churned and my dick feels like it would chop off if I donโt get it to swim in a pot of honey this instant.Like a maniac, I ran back to my chambers panting heavily when I entered. My eyes roamed Freyaโs body hungrily in her transparent nightgown. Jumping onto the bed, I tore it off her body instantly. She woke up with a loud gasp when I spr
Ronanโs 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.โSo sorry, Your Highness. I will take him now.โ Isla pleaded.โIt is alright, Isla. Thank you. Where is my wife?โโShe is getting changed.โโAlright, thank you.โAfter 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 didnโt have to be so engaged in honoring our guests and just have her to myself.โWow, he is, the man of the hour.โ Timon teased sitting next to me.โI have been looking around for you. Where have you been?โ I questioned.
Fionaโs 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 didnโt care to see me. I never knew Ronanโs uncle and didnโt think too highly of him after hearing about all that he did. What I didnโt 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 didnโt 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 wasnโt as epic as theirs. I do know what it feels like to have the ones you trust to play on your heart an
Ronanโs POVMy entire world felt like a lie. I still canโt 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.โWhy donโt you go back to the palace, Your Majesty, and let me sort this out,โ Timon said.I shook my head feeling a nasty ache making its way to my head. โNo, please, I want to see for myself.โ I insisted.We were headed for Elder Callumโs house to search properly this time. Even though I still canโt 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
Authorโs 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 Ronanโs 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
Ronanโs 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. โYour majesty,โโReally? Why would you hit on the door like that?โ I questioned.โIt was not my doing. Ava was at the door.โโHas 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?โโIt's not exactly morning your majesty. It is way past noon. Are you alright? You donโt look well rested.โI rubbed my forehead, staring intently at the wall. โSomething is coming, Timon. But I do not know what it is and my heart is burdened. I couldnโt get any sleep because of it. If anything goes wrong please protect my family.โHe sighed. โDonโt be like that, we will resolve whatever
Ronanโs POVโWhere is that bastard?โ 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.โWhat is all this about Levi?โ I inquired.โOh, 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? Isnโt she an intruder in the first place? You should be ashamed of yourself for picking a mere stranger over your mate.โ He ranted.I exchanged a confused look with Timon before looking back at the fuming man. โWhat you are saying now is that you do not see any wrong in what your sister did?โโYes, and for what it is worth, you are to blame. If you didnโt turn away from her and make her feel unneeded she wouldnโt have gone that far. But what excuse do you have now that she is carrying your child and your child bearer is very
Authorโs POVโFreya?โ 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 couldnโt be revived. Freya was dead. Covering his eyes with both hands, he groaned like a wounded lion. This wasnโt supposed to end like that. The only death he intends to have on his hands next is Ronanโs.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 wonโt take long for her to be traced down to him.Callum searched around for anything that would do to stuff her
Authorโs 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
Ronanโs POVโYou didnโt find anything?โ I asked Timon for the umpteenth time like my ears had gone deaf.He bowed his head, โI am sorry, Your Majesty. I must have gotten the wrong information.โRuffling 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 doesnโt 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? Wonโt 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. โPlease say something.โI held his gaze, shrugging. โI 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
