Fiona’s POVI stared at the door longingly feeling guilty and needy at the same time. I know it is wrong to crave his presence this much when I know the situation he is in. But I can’t help it when I have gotten used to seeing him around. Ronan has made it a point of duty to always check on me every day. But he seems to be running late today. Also, I am all alone in the house. Isla needed to get to the market. I sat curled up on the couch that seemed too tiny for me to make adjustments. The door clicked open and my heart thumped in excitement at seeing Ronan. But it fell when it turned out to be the Luna queen. A light giggle escaped her lips. “Someone doesn’t seem too excited to see me.” I waved a hand quickly. “It's not what you think. I thought it was Isla.”“Where is she by the way?” She asked, looking around the house. “To the market,” I mumbled quickly. I don’t know why, but I can’t seem to relax in her presence. Might be my conscience dealing with me. “I would have loved t
Ronan’s POV Fiona seems to have overestimated her strength. We didn’t even get to run half of the woods before she started whining about her leg. I found it funny. “Why do you keep chuckling to yourself?” She pouted leaning into me as we walked back to the house. I coughed lightly, “I just can’t help it. You were so energized when we were going that I thought the woods would beg for you to stop running.” “It's the pregnancy. Not me.” Fiona defended. Humming in response, I rubbed at her back. “Yes, you said that the first time.” She nudged me in the rib with her elbow. “It’s obvious you are mocking me. I am one of the best runners back in my village. Everyone knew how much I could move on my hind legs. I just feel heavy and weak because of the baby in me.” Isla greeted us shyly as we entered the house. I nodded in response, but Fiona was too busy with her whining to notice her. Dumping herself into the bed, she folded her arms still pouting with tears in her eyes and her cheeks
Author’s POV“Let me do it, my lady, please.” The maid begged Celine on her knees. The others joined in too. Celine threw her head to the back feeling burdened all over again. No matter how hard she tries to keep Callum's monstrous side away from everyone in the house. His attitude towards her eventually pushes her to start acting mean to the poor maids and her own children. This morning he requested a meal whose ingredients are hard to find. Two of the guards set out to find it as fast as they could and returned about two hours later. Callum refused the meal and eventually pummeled Celine for bringing it too late to him. She couldn’t find anything else to distract herself and had chosen to wash the dishes instead before she lost her mind. Celine inhaled deeply and turned to the maids with a weak smile. “Why are you all begging me like you did something wrong?” “We fear you are angry because the food Elder Callum rejected wasn’t cooked right.” The oldest one amongst them, Dahlia s
Author’s POVThe room felt stiff and nothing interested Freya. Her mind is everywhere and having to visit her family who are all about themselves stresses her out the most. She blames Ronan for making his latest decision without thinking of the possible effects. Her brother, Levi, is one of the most self-centered people she has ever encountered. It didn’t come as a surprise to her since their father was that way. They were the most delighted about her marriage to the Alpha King. If she wasn’t mated to Ronan, her fate was in their hands. They were already making plans to marry off to someone well-to-do. Freya’s wolf is always restless in her brother’s presence. He seems to have a mind full of selfish desires and nothing more. At least their father randomly worries about her. She has been avoiding him for some time now. However, with Ronan’s decision to end their corrupt earnings. Trouble has been stirred. Levi growled loudly halting her thoughts. “When do you intend to be ever usef
Fiona’s POVI stirred from my sleep feeling light as a feather. Sitting up gently, I yawn. It seems like I have been sleeping for a long while, I didn’t even know when I slept off. Isla came in holding up a bright smile with a bowl of steaming stew. I can tell it is beef stew causing me to gulp hungrily. She handed me a cup of water, before putting the tray down in front of me. “Did you know I was awake?” I asked after I took a long sip. She sat on the edge of the bed smiling at me. “Not at all. But I had the intention to wake you up. How is the soup?” “It tastes so good!” I mumbled smacking my lips in satisfaction. “The Luna Queen has a really soft spot for you. She came here to check on you and found you asleep. She had left before but came back to instruct me to make a special beef stew recipe for you.” I blushed lightly. “I considered myself lucky.”“Yes, you are. It is sort of rare to see people care for their child-bearers; they are only concerned about the child and nothin
Fiona’s POVAs tired as my body was, I still couldn’t sleep. My mind kept roaming and I couldn’t get Isla’s story out of my head. Our situation might not be exactly alike, but there is a chance I might end up with the same fate. What would I do with myself? I can always get a job, but how about the emotional trauma that would come with it?It is already hard for me to accept the truth of never seeing my child again. I curled up against myself feeling my belly churn in discomfort. I can’t deny that a part of me melts at the thought of king Ronan. I want to stop the mushy feelings from coming. But I can’t, not when he is being so caring towards me. At first when i had told him about the pregnancy, I thought he hated me with the way he responded. It turns out that wasn’t the case. Whatever it is right now, I would end up heartbroken if i don’t put an actual distance between us. My heart ached at the decision. King Ronan makes being locked up here more adaptable. Pushing him away will ad
Ronan’s POV My legs wobbled battling against each other as I walked feeling lost. I still can’t tell what is going on. Fiona looked too livid. I tried to reminisce on the last time we were together if i did anything wrong or said something I shouldn’t have. I ruffled my hair, feeling stressed. “Why are you so bothered? Fiona is practically insignificant to a person of your status. Why would you allow her speak to you in that manner?” Dion sounded angry. Fiona was quite rude and Dion doesn’t take things like that lightly. I am supposed to be angered by her words. Instead i am worried about what might be happening to her.Dion growled. “When did you become so nice? She has to be punished or at least made to regret her actions.” Seeing he isn’t thinking in the same direction as me. I decided to shut him out. I didn’t even realize i had bumped into Timon. “Why are you so lost?” He asked in a worried tone. “Do you have some time to spare?” “Yes, i was intending to meet with you.” As
Author’s POVFreya kept turning on the bed nonstop she seemed to have a lot on her mind. She knew what she saw last night and couldn’t possibly be overthinking it. It would have been best to turn down her intuition if there hadn’t been some kind of lie involved. Raising half of her body she noticed Ronan moving around the room discreetly. She got tempted to ask him where he was headed so early in the morning. But she remained quiet letting him be by pretending to sleep. He left after kissing her on the forehead. Because she didn’t get to sleep much during the night, the sleep eventually kicked in causing her to wake up later in the morning. Freya let out a loud yawn as she sat up glancing around the room like she couldn’t tell where she was. As soon as she got a grip on herself. The maids helped her get dressed and the first place she went before attending to her everyday duty was Fiona’s place. Glancing around to ensure no one was coming behind her, she went inside and had a shock
