Fiona’s 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 doesn’t 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 can’t 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 can’t even imagine what would become of my emotions after it is all over.“Let’s wait until then. For now, focus on birthi
Ronan’s 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 couldn’t 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 don’t 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 Freya’s 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
Ronan’s POV “I have been searching around for you. Didn’t realize you were here.” I said to Freya, placing a kiss on her shoulder. She glanced up at me with a light smile. “I just thought to sit out here and enjoy the evening air.” “It's nice out here,” I mumbled, motioning to the guards and maids to move farther away from us. I sat next to her just observing her features. This is the quietest she has been since I have known her. It just shows how much is on her mind. We still haven’t gotten around the situation we are in at the moment. But I still think there is a need for me to reassure her. “If you keep staring at me like that, you will end up burning a hole in the side of my head.” Freya mused, slapping the book in her hand shut. I chuckled awkwardly. “Don’t be like that, my love. You know how much I love to look at you. I have just been curious to know how you are doing.” I held her gaze lowering my voice. “About Fiona?” “I see you have met her.” “Couldn’t resist. She is
Fiona’s POV“Take a deep breath,” Rin advised I groaned painfully feeling my back muscles pull tightly. I had woken up uneasy and my body felt like it would collapse. I remained seated on the back porch surrounded by the garden. I have been by myself all day. Isla seems to be carrying out some major work in the palace. She only came by to drop my food. I couldn’t cope with staying all alone in the house and had to step outside. I am grateful at least that there is a garden that shields me from the main building. If not I might have been subjected to seeing the four walls every day. A light wince escaped my lips as the pain struck again. I inhaled deeply letting out a strained gasp. This is not the life I planned for myself. At least I get to talk to Basi and customers at the tavern every day. Now it is different, no friend, no family. I am all by myself. Nobody wants to be around me and it makes me think I might have a cursed fate. “No, you don’t!” Someone said behind me. I turned
Ronan’s POV I couldn’t stop worrying about Fiona all through the night. Even though she claims to be just fine I saw that painful squeeze on her face that shows that she is in discomfort. I feel bad for it since it's my fault that she is in that condition. There should be a way to help and I just realized that she doesn’t have a doctor assigned to her yet. I don’t know how we are to go about that. Because there seem to be many people involved in this situation. “Are you going to leave her to birth the child herself?” Dion queried. “A doctor is needed to make sure she is healthy.” Rubbing at my neck I took a sip of the rum I had asked for. It's barely noon and all of my insides seem cold. Last night I was close to losing my head just because I told Freya we should pass up on sex for the night. She thought it was a joke at first and didn’t find it funny. Then I had to repeat myself and she went bonkers on me. I didn’t know what to do or how to respond to the situation I found myself
Ronan’s POV“I need you to be as discreet as possible. If this gets out I would have you punished for it. Keep it to yourself and ensure she gets the necessary treatment.” I said to the doctor with a firm tone. Doctor Felix has been my family doctor since I could remember things. He has stayed faithful over the years. All the same, I need to warn him and request his allegiance again. Nothing should happen to Fiona and the child under my watch. Since I couldn’t think of any other person to approach to take care of Fiona. I had to go to him. He was surprised when I had him smuggled in through the back. That's why I am taking my time to explain this thing to him. “You don’t have to worry yourself, your majesty. It is my duty to keep my patients ’ affairs private.” Dr. Felix said. “Thank you.” I let out in one breath knocking on the door. Isla showed her face from behind. When she saw it was me she bowed quickly and opened the door widely. Fiona seems to be having a nap. It was past d
Fiona’s POVIt took me five seconds after his question to realize my slip of the tongue. I gasped in shock covering my mouth. “I…..I am so so sorry Your Majesty. I didn’t mean what I said, it was sincerely a mistake. Forgive me please.” I mumbled quickly with my head bowed while I attempted to get up and kneel in front of him. Life has been hard for members of the Abian village for a long time. We have had to work twice as hard as many others just to make a living. Many times people complain about the king and his council of elders not caring about the poor folks. Without even realizing it, we have harbored hatred towards the king. If I knew I was going to sit with him soon, I would have kept my thoughts to myself and not said anything stupid. He placed a hand on my leg to keep me still. “Relax your nerves. It's not like you said anything wrong. Many people would have said it times without a number behind my back. Every one of you has the right to be angry. That is why I want to hea
Author’s POVIsla mumbled some incoherent words under her breath as she dusted off her dress. The hot herb soup she had prepared poured on her and she couldn’t resist the painful yell. Luckily, it didn’t burn her skin. She rinsed off the plate and dished it again. A loud gasp escaped her lips when she entered the room to find Fiona on the floor looking almost lifeless. Isla dropped the tray quickly and rushed to her. “Fiona? Please wake up.” Isla panted, tapping her cheeks gently. A few seconds passed and there was still no response from her. Isla stormed out and ran towards the main building to find the king. She wasn’t allowed near his chambers and she had to make a fuss, insisting on seeing the Alpha King. Ronan heard the noise behind the door alongside Freya. They were just about to get into bed. “What’s all that about?” He asked reaching for his robe. Freya kissed her teeth. “Whatever it is, I am sure it doesn’t concern us. Let those silly people be. One of them is probably
