No other spies appeared in his town, and everything seemed to calm finally, yet Daniel feared the calm weather before the storm. With Marcus, he could never know his next moves.
“Tired. Those old farts don’t even consider my pregnancy as an excuse to go easy on me. Sometimes I feel they make it harder on purpose.” Ariana took a bite of grilled chicken. Her last meal was lunch several hours ago. Starvation bothered her during the afternoon lessons, forcing her to think about her stomach instead of the class. Especially from today’s lessons, she remembered absolutely nothing.
“Tanya stopped by my office an hour ago and asked me to take you to her after dinner.&

“Good morning.” Tanya greeted Ariana as soon as she entered her room through the connecting door. A few weeks ago, Ariana stayed in the infirmary under medical supervision, but after two weeks, she had had enough. She was constantly connected to a machine monitoring her baby’s responses. She couldn’t go to the toilet by herself. They even strictly monitored her diet.During these two weeks, she made a deal with both Daniel and Tanya and negotiated at least a room stay. Daniel had the rooms arranged to be walk-through, leaving the door between the two rooms open in case Ariana required emergency medical attention. Tanya simply had continuous access to Ariana. The room was also equipped with a screen where Ariana could watch programs or listen to music. The maids regularly brought her books from the library and new magazines straight from the city. Anything Ariana asked for she had wi

“Something is wrong.” Ariana cried out in pain. She felt a searing pain in the right side of her stomach. It was only a few seconds since her baby was turning again. She felt a sharp pain which got stronger with every passing second since then.Tanya placed her palm on the spot where Ariana complained of sharp pain and tried to feel the baby. Something was wrong. The heartbeat that Tanya could normally feel through her abdominal wall was weak. The child’s responses were rapidly fading.“She needs to get out,” Tanya decided immediately. She already had most of the tools she needed ready in her room. Daniel converted the next room into a smaller infirmary just for these cases.“But there’s still a week left.” Ariana wanted to protest, but she knew, she

“How are they?” Daniel asked once Tayna left Ariana’s room. She looked tired, dirty from Ariana’s blood, but she had a wide smile on her lips.“They are both healthy, although I thought we might lose the baby girl.” Tayna paused for a second before finishing the second part of the sentence. She could shake off the fear of what could happen if she was just a few moments later. The girl would suffocate inside her mother’s womb.“What happened?” Daniel wanted to know. Tanya took her time to explain what forced them to take the girl out. Once Tanya finished, he peeked inside the room, hoping he would see Ariana.“You can go inside, sir.” She knew exactly what was going on in Daniel’s mind. Of course, he was happy for th

“What are you planning to do now?” David Parker asked during the meeting. Daniel called for an emergency meeting the following day after Ariana gave birth to her daughter. It was finally time to proclaim Ariana’s position as his queen.“Ariana gave birth yesterday, so I plan to finally officially announce her appointment as the new queen.” Daniel briefly informed him about his plan. He thought exactly what to say, since there were still Marcus’ people outside of the city, trying their luck to sneak inside.Thanks to Ariana, they found the majority of smugglers’ tunnels leading out of the city, especially after Ariana showed them the hidden doors inside the basement of the houses, which the young woman used to get Ariana out of the town. Ariana followed her instincts and showed them exactly

“She is beautiful. And how tiny she is.” Peter had already forgotten what it was like to hold a tiny baby like Aaliyah in his arms. Ariana was born to them more than eighteen years ago, and Peter was almost always on duty. He could not help his wife with the care of their daughter. Now it was different. Although he had an agreement with Daniel and a permanent position in the barracks, he still had time for his granddaughter.“Would you expect her to be born fully grown? Silly you are, aren’t you?” Daria scolded him, although she couldn’t miss the gentle look in his eyes as he held his dear granddaughter firmly in his huge hands. Especially in his arms. Little Aaliyah looked smaller than she was.“You know how to spoil the mood.” Peter complained about his wife. Ariana watched their squabble with

The coronation was approaching at an extremely fast pace. Days turned into weeks and weeks almost into a month. Just a few last days before she stands in front of all the people who matter, and she gets her crown on her head. Her stomach clenched in pain just thinking about it.“I’ll take her again.” Ariana reached over to Maria, who was playing with baby Aaliyah. She wanted to feel her closeness, but she also hoped the child would calm her down. She wanted to stop thinking about what awaited her, at least for a moment.“You look nervous.” Maria stared at Ariana as she thought of how to cheer her up. Aaliyah will sleep soon, which gives Maria time to somehow distract Ariana and turn her worries into something more positive.“You can’t be surprised. Daniel t

Ariana stood in front of the mirror and couldn’t take her eyes off herself. She had no idea who she was looking at. The person staring back at her from the mirror was someone completely different. “Who is it?” Ariana asked. Of course, she knew she was looking at herself, but even though she had her image right in front of her eyes, she couldn’t believe it. “Daniel said that you can only go into the city in disguise. The little one will be here at the castle with her grandmother, and we have the entire afternoon to go shopping. I also had herb bags sewn into your clothes to cover your smell. Nobody will recognize you. So even if some kidnappers are waiting for you in the city again, they won’t know it’s you.” Tanya looked at Ariana with undisguised surprise. Luis was famous for his art, but what he did with Ariana was simply a masterpiece. “Thank you, Luis. I think this is absolutely perfect.” Luis worked on Ariana for almost two hours. He tried to change her features so no one woul

The coronation went completely according to plan. In the morning, Ariana’s maids dressed her in her red-and-white dress with a long veil, following her dress on the ground, embroidered with orchids, a national flower. Everything looked understated, yet spectacular. When she looked at herself in the mirror, she truly looked like a young queen. From her room, Maria took her outside of the castle, where an open carriage drawn by eight horses was already waiting for her. In front and behind sat the soldiers on their horses, with Daniel at the very head, sitting on his jet-black steed. Everything was ready. The streets, adorned with pennants and ribbons, were bustling with people as the carriage passed by. Everyone came to see their future queen. Everyone waved and shouted glory to Daniel and his mate. Ariana was smiling but her stomach tightened from anxiety. She wasn’t feeling well. Daniel was far from her, and she sat alone in the carriage, surrounded by soldiers and strangers. Just

“Repeat that to me?” Daniel rose from his chair with such agility that the chair fell to the ground, leaving an echo throughout the room. “Marcus has crossed our borders with about ten thousand of his men. He’s heading straight for the capital. Apparently, they’ve passed all the other cities by now as if they didn’t care about anything else,” Trenton reported to his king once more. It made no sense. According to Atalante, Marcus should not be able to return for several months, or at least several weeks. Still, less than two weeks had passed, and he was back in Edeirland, and what’s more, he had his army with him. Daniel knew this won’t end well. Marcus had quite half of the army with him. Although that number was only about half of their army, it was still enough. Daniel was not ready for open war. He did not expect Marcus to go to open war. Either he had to go against his advisers, or the ministers believed in their victory enough to want to heal themselves in Edeirland. “How many

“Where is the king?” Carlos Sellim, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, asked when he came to Marcus’ office and found only his chief advisor sitting behind a desk and signing papers. “I don’t know.” Alli Wael, the king’s chief adviser, lied. He knew exactly where the king was, but there was no point in telling anyone. Marcus left about a week ago. After his rift with his father, he came straight into his study, turned it upside down, broke half the furniture, and left again. He wreaked havoc all over the castle before heading out of town. He only told Alli if he needed anything, he should kindly turn to his father, to whom he had just given back his cursed kingdom. “How do you not know? After all, you are his chief adviser.” Carlos was getting angry. About a week ago, Marcus was supposed to go through the documents regarding the opening of a new trade route that Allus Sierra needed. Their economy was dying, and without a new trade route to bring income to the country, bankruptcy was i

“Aren’t you hungry? Or thirsty? How are you? Do you feel any pain?” Daniel asked as soon as Ariana opened her eyes. She didn’t remember when she went to sleep. They spent the whole day and night in bed. She couldn’t even remember how many times he took her yesterday. They only had one slight break during the whole day when Daniel ordered the maid to bring some food and drinks in the evening. Ariana gobbled it up as she was famished after the day’s exertions. “I’m fine.” Ariana answered but when she wanted to move, she felt her whole body betraying her. She felt sore all over her body. Her muscles refused to move. Ariana needed to function. Yesterday she did not see her daughter all day. Daniel wouldn’t let her leave the room. He kept her for himself. Ariana missed her daughter and Daniel knew a child could not stay away from its mother for so long. Especially if Ariana was still breastfeeding. “Are you sure? I’m sorry about yesterday. I know I probably overdid it a bit.” Daniel fe

Daniel carried Ariana straight to their shared bedroom. He had no responsibilities to attend to today. His adviser or his ministers could do everything that needed to be done. Ariana was blushing all over. She was sure of what would follow. The time had finally come when they could truly just be together. No guests, no relatives, no one to constantly disturb them. “Are you feeling hot?” Daniel asked, seeing how red she was. “I feel great,” Ariana answered him, though her voice was shaking. She wanted to remember this moment until she died. Their first intimate moment together. “Can you wait just a little while?” Ariana asked him with uncertainty in her voice. She wasn’t quite sure about what she wanted to do, but since she and Maria had already bought it, she wanted to take advantage of it. “Of course.” Daniel answered her before placing her back on her feet in the bedroom. Ariana immediately ran to the closet from where she took a small cloth bag and ran to the bathroom with it.

“Are you leaving already?” Atalante stayed in Edeirland for two more days before finally coming to say goodbye. She had been away from her country longer than necessary and it was time to return to her duties. Ariana could no longer find out exactly how old Atalante was. Atalante kept the exact number a secret and always nonchalantly avoided the question of her age. “Yes, it’s time to go home.” Atalante replied. They all sat at breakfast as Atalante announced her departure for the day. She wanted to leave immediately after breakfast to get as far as possible during the day. The borders of her country were about a week’s journey on horseback. Even if she transformed and ran in her animal form, she wouldn’t be able to keep up the pace all day. The journey would take her perhaps even longer. She could at least switch to a rested horse that was prepared in the taverns along the way. “Of course I understand that. We are very honored to have you stay with us and I think I speak to both o

“Can I?” Atalante leaned closer to Ariana, stretching her arms as she wanted to carry little Aaliyah. Ariana looked at her cooing baby before she lifted her eyes and gently handed her daughter to the Lycan Queen. In the morning, she sent Daniel to take care of the guests but currently she would be grateful to have him here. She felt vulnerable against Atalante for some unknown reason. “She’s beautiful and I can tell she’s going to be strong. I’m glad she inherited more from you than the Allus Sierra bloodline.” Atalante looked meaningfully at Ariana. She compared the baby girl to her mother, but mainly she tried to recall the features of her long-lost friend and her teacher and searched for those features in these two. “Why are you so set on Marcus and his family?” Ariana asked boldly. Atalante didn’t want to talk about them too much before, but Ariana wanted to know the truth. “Because of their guilt they bear and for which they were banished from my kingdom.” Atalante cradled

Marcus arrived back at his castle. Although he rarely visited the North Wing since taking the throne, he headed straight there today. He looked for his father in the library, but to his surprise; he did not find him there. Marcus’s father sat in the garden attached to their very north wing. It was a private part of the castle belonging to Marcus’ parents only. The servants serving his parents did not go to his part of the castle, and likewise, Marcus’s servants did not interfere with the goings-on in the northern part. It’s almost like two separate houses. “What are you doing here?” Marcus’ father pointed at him. Ever since Marcus forcibly took over the throne from his father, his father had not spoken to him. They did not interfere in his government, although they knew about the situation in the country. Marcus’ father had his loyal servants in the castle and in the capital. “I came for answers. My mate and my child are in the hands of Daniel Colton of Edeirland. I wanted to take h

“Is everything okay?” Daniel asked the next morning when Ariana got out of bed. She couldn’t sleep yesterday. The celebrations lasted well into the night and Ariana didn’t feel like going back to the hall. She had a lot to think about. Most of all, she wanted to be with her daughter, whom she had not seen for more than half a day. Daniel didn’t join her until around 2am yesterday when he found her sitting in a chair with a sleeping baby in her arms. Ariana looked out the window at the full moon and pondered everything Atalante had told her. There was really a lot. “Not really. I don’t even know. Everything seems so surreal. A few months ago, I was slowly being chased. Marcus chased me around like a game, and now I’m the most wanted person in the world.” Ariana complained quietly to herself. Daniel got off the bed and walked a few steps toward Ariana. He wrapped her against his chest and gently stroked her hair. “Well, it’s a good thing I took you for myself. I don’t know what I’d d

“I deeply apologize for the disturbance caused by our uninvited guest. Please keep celebrating. He won’t bother us again.” Daniel apologized to the guests present in the hall. Some were looking at him with concern written on their faces, while others seemed to be rather apologetic themselves. Each guest reacted differently to the situation but almost all of them had the same question in their eyes. ‘Is he not going to come back?’ Daniel saw the question in the gaze they gave him. He couldn’t properly answer the question since he didn’t know what exactly Atalante did. For the first time in his life, he saw Lycan obey an order. They do not obey even their own parents, not to mention a stranger. Atalante was a stranger to Marcus. Daniel was curious about what Atalante wanted to talk about with Ariana, but one of them had to remain present in the hall. Daniel had an excuse for Ariana. He could easily tell the people that the attack on Atalante shook her by her former king. Not everyon
