Ronan’s POV My head spinned and it felt like my soul kept moving out of my body. It only means that my anger has gotten to its peak. If Freya is in on her brother's plan it might be the reason she was quick to suggest we get involved with someone else to get a child. Levi must have told her to do so. I am shocked that after everything we have been through. She chose this path to ruin us. I opened the door to her chambers rudely. “Get out all of you!” I ordered the maids with her. Freya had a confused look on her face. “What is it, my love?” I flung the handkerchief at her. “Explain this.” Recognition dawned in her eyes as she stared at the handkerchief. “How did you get this?” “You tell me. It was found around the forest where Fiona found me. How do you explain it?” She squinted her eyes. “What are you driving at?” “I am putting it to you that your brother knows about what happened to me.” “Have you lost your mind, Ronan? Why would Levi do anything to you? And why would you e
Author’s POV All through the carriage ride, anxiety got the best of Freya. She can't seem to wrap her head around everything happening to her lately. It's almost as if the goddess has turned her back on her. Ronan’s behavior appeared very odd to her and she had to think quickly on a good enough lie. Thankfully she had an alibi. However, that didn’t stop her from worrying that it might be her brother who tried to hurt Ronan. Levi is all kinds of things and he is quite unpredictable. As soon as the carriage stopped, she hurried into the house. To avoid being noticed Freya had dropped her royal regalia for a plain dress. Levi was seated by the garden humming to himself as he feasted on a platter of cakes and biscuits. He has always been known for his sweet tooth. Freya felt the urge to smack his head from behind. But that would be less classy of her. So she cleared her throat instead, to announce her presence. “I had a feeling you were going to show your ugly face soon. To what do I
Author’s POVCallum grinned devilishly as he read through the letter in his hand. He knew Freya was going to come back to him. At first, he had doubted the chance of her responding to him because of how long it took. But then he had to remind himself the kind of person she is. He has seen it many times and for someone like Freya, it is only a matter of time for her to get triggered by a situation. “Today looks like it would be a good one.” He mumbled to himself as he folded the letter into his pocket. Celine stood by the doorway of the study staring intently at Callum. She can’t seem to wish him well in any way. Every time she sets her eyes on him, different emotions come into play. However, she feels cursed to be dedicated to her obligations towards him. Whether he wants to be cared for by her or not, Celine is subjected to playing her part. “Is there something you want to say? Quit standing by the door and speak.” He bickered not raising his head at her. Celine sniffed, folding
Fiona’s POVThe day feels exceptionally bright, either that or I am just happy. My hands rub on my belly slowly. For the past few weeks, everything around me seems to be in my favor. Rin is just as happy as I am. The doctor also affirmed that my child is healthy. With Ronan by my side, it feels like I can conquer the world. However, I can't stop reminding myself that I would get hurt if I didn't keep my heart locked. But how am I supposed to stop myself from being happy when that is all he is about? King Ronan effortlessly cares about me and with each passing day, I find myself falling in love with him. Guilt tugs at my heart when I remind myself that he has a wife whom he loves. It would be unfair of me to let my selfish feelings get in between them. I want to bare my heart to someone, but I am scared to do so at the same time. What if they mock me or call me a homewrecker? Ronan might stay away from me and I still have quite some months to go. All of the happiness that I had been
Ronan’s POV All these while that I have been made the Alpha. I don't think I have met anyone as intelligent as Fiona. Timon maybe, he has helped me many times. But her ideas are exceptional. One would think she was on the council once before. At this point, I might consider her to join my council. With a delightful grin, I entered the meeting hall where everyone awaited my arrival. I nodded at their chorused greeting and sat down. Timon made a face at me. I snickered in response. “Thank you all for attending today's meeting even though it wasn't planned. I want to implement some changes that would aid a better life for the people of our amazing kingdom. Due to the bothersome rate at which the villagers suffer. I have made a decision to ease their troubles by giving out lands to the farmers and providing capital for whoever is interested in starting up a business. The minister for the kingdom’s finance will handle that, you lend out money to the villagers at a low interest. I want e
Ronan’s POV “I will leave now,” Timon said in a muffled tone excusing himself. I sat up, pointing at a chair for my uncle to sit. “Is everything okay, Uncle?” I asked. He didn't say anything and sat down first. “Did you forget something?” Elder Callum cleared his throat and glared at me. This is the second time in less than an hour that I am getting unpleasant looks from people. “What do you think you are doing?” He asked. I tilted my head in confusion. “What do you mean?” “Exactly what I mean. You have been acting strange lately and I thought to leave you to it because you are the king and you probably know what is best. But there is a reason you have the council members. It is for you to deliberate with them on situations concerning the kingdom. However, you seem to be running a sole rulership.” He said raising his voice. “I still don’t understand you, Uncle.” “Your decision to give the villagers so many things all at once is inappropriate. Especially since you didn’t bother
Author’s POVFreya glanced around the tiny room from the hole in her cape quickly. Several dangerous weapons were hanging on the wall and the light was quite hard for anyone to notice from the outside. Her wolf had kept questioning her persistently on her way here if she was making the right decision. However, she can’t seem to keep out the taunting words and the sad reality of what would become of her in the end. Even though she is divided on her intentions to hurt Ronan. Since she agreed to work hand in hand with Callum. They haven’t exactly discussed what their mission is all about. It gave her sleepless nights, which resulted in her writing him to hear what he had to say. The door creaked open gently. Freya almost jumped out of her skin. Her heart raced and didn’t stop until she realized it was Callum. “Couldn’t you have announced your entrance better?” She hissed. Callum observed her briefly, he couldn’t resist the chuckle that escaped his lips at the sight of her. “What in t
Fiona’s POVRonan slept so peacefully I didn’t wish to wake him up even though I knew I should. He had arrived this afternoon looking so exhausted. After eating the meal served by Isla, we talked a little and he rested his head to sleep. Every time we get this much close contact. I started to wish that things had happened differently between us. It might sound cruel but I would have preferred he didn't regain his memory. That way we would be living together happily in Abian village and enjoying our sustainable lifestyle. “What if he then regains his memory and doesn’t bother to look for you?” Rin questioned bringing me back to reality. I snickered turning my head away. It is okay for someone like me to have a once-in-a-while selfish desire. There is nothing wrong with that. It just shows I have a heart and burning emotions too. Glancing around, I leaned down a bit and placed a kiss on his forehead before heading out. It is getting past dinner and I should wake him. But the selfish
