Fiona’s POV“Do you need me to help you massage your feet?” Isla asked. I shook my head holding back the painful groan stuck in my throat. I had a bad dream about Celine which is a rare occurrence. I like to believe that I sleep quite peacefully. Ever since she bid farewell, even Rin has been uncomfortable. I can only hope she gets to her destination safely. She already assured to write me. “You look like you are in a lot of pain. I should go to the doctor quickly.” She suggested. “No, Isla. I think I just need to stretch my body.” I mused standing up with a bit of struggle. It's been a while since I shifted and had a good run in the woods. However, my body seems to have other plans in mind. Moreover, Ronan hasn’t had much time to help me get by. He has been quite busy. I miss him so much. At the same time, it is probably for the best. I don’t want the Luna Queen feeling left out just as Isla had mentioned before. I have less than four months to go. The time is near. Isla reached
Ronan’s POV Freya didn’t look too pleased that I called Timon alongside her to talk. She kept whining about how I could have requested for us to meet differently. She never had a problem with it before, I don’t know what changed now. It is probably that time of the month again. She is usually uptight and cranky whenever it is time. I had a lot of thinking to do last night and I didn’t come to resolve it until the early hours of this morning I knew that I had finally made headway in all that has had me confused in the last few months. “Why is he so late? Keeping the Alpha and Luna waiting.” She inquired. “I am sorry about that. I asked him to drop off something. He would be here soon.” I assured observing her face. “Is everything okay, my love? You haven’t been acting much like yourself for a while now.” She stared blankly at me. “Don’t I have the room to just be by myself?” “That is not what I meant Freya. I was surprised to find you asleep in your chambers last night.” I said.
Ronan’s POV Calling an impromptu meeting makes every member of the council quite agitated and they might belittle the juicy information I am now willing to share. Which is why I waited patiently for the next meeting to share a piece of my mind. After discussing the matters of the day. I cleared my throat causing everywhere to fall silent. “Elders, ministers, and every member of the Mastorian kingdom. I have some joyous news to share with everyone and I hope you will be as happy as I am. Myself and the Luna Queen are expecting a child in less than four months from now.” I announced keeping my eyes steady for their reactions. And I saw it clearly, the shocks on their faces couldn’t be hidden. The most surprising of them all is my uncle, his face was devoid of any emotion. I have to give it to Aunt Celine for being so amazing at keeping secrets. I would get an earful after this but I can bet he would be happy to hear it. “Congratulations, Your Majesty.” Everyone chorused and they all
Author’s POVCallum hissed continuously like a spiteful snake. His wolf growled restlessly. All of his entire body can’t keep still. He probably should have done on a counter-attack on Ronan and not spare him at all. He felt humiliated in front of the council when Ronan announced the coming of his child. He had hoped it would be kept a secret until it is all done. He held tightly onto the glass in his hand before slamming it against the wall in anger. Likewise, he was beginning to regret his decision to trust Freya. She didn’t tell him Ronan would be making such a big move. With his announcement, the entire kingdom would be rooting for him. Which means any direct harm to the Alpha King would lead to a revolt from the people and anyone who takes his place. He grabbed a fistful of his hair and growled like a scarred animal. Just then, the door of his study opened abruptly with a disheveled looking Freya under a cape. Her eyes were swollen like she had been crying. She took the cape of
Ronan’s POV I couldn’t stop the scoff that kept leaving my nostrils. Freya has a lot of explaining to do and I am not going to take it lightly with her. She destroyed everything that could be ruined in the room and to make matters worse she didn’t return to the palace last night. I am not worried because I know for sure that she is with her brother. A queen isn’t supposed to leave the palace unless she is on official duty, but it appears my queen cares nothing about the rules that guide us as rulers. I am so angry that I worry about what I might do when I see her. “Why not stop thinking all about yourself for once and put yourself in Freya’s shoes?” Dion said in an odd tone. It's almost as if he isn’t certain of whose side to be on. But he couldn’t hold himself back from supporting his mate. I hissed. “How is this about myself? The Luna Queen acted irrationally and lost control of her temper. How is that a good thing?” “It isn’t a good thing that is sure. But you should understan
Ronan’s POV “That's absurd to think. Why would anything go wrong with Aunt Celine?” I asked, doubtful of Timon's gutful thinking. Timon folded his arms giving a cold look. “You know deep inside of you that I am making an avid point. You know your aunt and how much she cherishes you. The help you offered her was to save her life. And you think if she ever got there she wouldn’t have written you a letter?” I blinked in confusion. “Are you saying there is a chance she is hurt?” “Hurt is taking it lightly, Your Majesty. It might be that your aunt is dead.” I gave him a dead eye. “Stop saying nonsense.” I rebuked even though something sort of shifted inside of me. “Okay, I see you don’t believe me. It's not as if I am sure of myself. But everything here doesn’t add up. Permit me to go to her parents and ask after her where about. Is that okay?” “I…I don’t want to do something that might get me on my uncle’s bad side.”“Is he guilty of something?” “No, I guess.” “That's what I thou
Fiona’s POV“Have you been sleeping at all?” The doctor asked me.I groaned inwardly in a bid to sit up. “It's not like I don’t want to sleep. I just find it hard to. These past few days have been plagued with restless nights.”“You need to get enough rest or you will be putting your and the child's life at risk. Please. I will recommend some herbs to take, make sure you use them right. You have to be very intentional from now on, your due date is almost near. Also, do your best to shift more and engage in light runs in the woods. It will help straighten your stiff bones.”“I will do everything as told. Thank you, doctor.” I smiled tightly.After he left I finally let out a long breath of relief. He sure knows how to grill someone when he decides to. Isla walked in with a cup of tea for me to drink. I cut her a hard glare.“Did you have to do that? I am fine. This is just temporary.” I rebuked taking a sip of the hot tea.She looked unfazed. “Tell that to someone who is scared of sayi
Author’s POVFreya felt herself hang backward as she attempted to strike at Fiona. She couldn’t bring herself to be patient despite the cajoling of her brother. Fiona is to be blamed for all the things she got herself involved in. If she never walked into their lives she would have been living happily with Ronan.“Get off me!” She yelled, struggling out of Isla’s grip. Fiona cowered into the bed. Freya pointed at her. “It is your fault. You planned this. You desperately wanted to be out in the open for everyone to see you as the king’s concubine. You tricked him into showing you off. It is all your fault.” She listed.Fiona winced painfully at the jab in her underbelly. Her arm wrapped around her stomach protectively. “I don't know what you are talking about Your Majesty. I will never try to hurt you in any way, please.”“Shut up! I blame myself for ever allowing you into our lives. All you have done is ruin the relationship between my husband and me. I swear to the goddess, Fiona. I
