~Luke~“Why do you look so sad?”Liam,my little brother asked me with creased eyebrows.My lips curved into a smile and I ruffled his hair messily.I tried to be happy around him.However,I ended up being sad whenever I got drowned in my own world.“Did you and Amara fight again?”He asked with an innocent face and I shook my head.“Then why are you sad if you didn't fight with Amara?Or…are you sad because she doesn't spend more time with you like she used to before she got a brother?”Liam couldn't stop asking me countless questions and for a moment,I was speechless.My little brother was used to us playing around and joking,and that was why he wanted to know why I wasn't smiling anymore.“You need to drink your coffee before it turns cold, Liam.”My mother told him and he turned to look at her with a pout.I know mom was doing so to distract him so that he wouldn't ask me more questions.“It's not about Amara.”I said and he turned to look at me.”Who then?”He said as though he wanted to pun
~Luke~I blinked once, twice,thrice just to make sure I was not dreaming.I couldn't believe that I was looking into those brown Hazel once again.“Mate?”I whispered under my breath and she smiled broadly.Arabella jumped in my arms and wrapped her hands around me so tightly and I couldn't help but hug her back,tightly.Arabella sobbed in my hands and I patted her back to calm her down.However,she couldn't stop crying.“It's okay, It's okay.”I continued to rub her back in a soothing way.My family watched as I calmed down my mate.Dad,mom,Liam and a woman who resembled my mate smiled.There was no doubt that the woman was Arabella's mother.After hugging for a while,we pulled off from the hug. I wiped tears from her face and she closed her eyes momentarily to feel my touch.Arabella's lips curved into a smile.“Mate…”She whispered and hugged me back,this time more tightly than before as though she would never let go.Her voice was sweet and my wolf purred in my head.I know he was so happy
~Arabella~Heaving a deep sigh,I knocked on the door and mom granted me permission to walk in.I just wanted to check on her to make sure that she was doing alright before I fell asleep.Her lips curved into a smile when she laid her eyes on me and I couldn't help it but smile back at her.I couldn't remember when was the last time I saw her smile like that as I had lost track of time.“Why are you still awake sweetheart? Are you finding it hard to sleep?”She asked me in a lovely voice and I shook my head in denial.“I have come to wish you goodnight.”The smile on her lips only broadened.“What about you?Why are you not sleeping yet?”I couldn't help but ask in curiosity.I sat on the edge of the bed next to her.It was quiet for a while inside the room as my mother seemed lost in her own world for a while.“Don't you like it here in Silver kingdom?”I asked with a raised eyebrow when I realised that the smile she wore on her face was gone and now it was replaced by unexplainable emotions.
~Amara~A week passed in a blink of an eye.Our kingdom was still on top and the growth was steady.Dad had already began to work on projects that he told us a week ago of building more factories to provide employment for jobless members of our kingdom.The farm were prepared ready for planting so that our kingdom would have enough food supply even in drought.We tied with the Lycan Kingdom since it was strong as well.Dad increased our army as more soldiers were recruited so that we could have a strong army to protect our kingdom incase of an attack or anything.Our kingdom traded with the Lycan Kingdom since we had a very close relationship and it benefited both kingdoms.It was challenging to become friends with the Lycan king because he didn't trust that easily, however,it wasn't that hard for my father to make the Lycan king his ally.Many Alpha's feared him because he never entertained stupidity.He had a strong army and his kingdom was more developed than others.Luke didn't look t
~Amara~My heart raced wildly against my ribcage because I didn't know what to expect at the moment.I just hoped that my doubts weren't true.I spent the whole day lost in my own world and I couldn't focus on studies.Nico and Luke tried to ask me what was wrong but I lied to them since I wasn't sure of my doubts yet.My mind returned to the present when the timer rang.My heart heartbeat only increased and my breathing as well.I closed my eyes and heaved a deep sigh to calm down my racing heart.“It's going to be okay,Amara.It's going to be okay.”I encouraged myself for a hundredth time.I extended my shaky hand to the counter to pick the pregnancy test kit.However,I couldn't bring myself to look at it immediately since I didn't have the courage to do so at the moment.I took a few deep breaths as I prepared myself for the results.I held my breath then slowly, opened my hand to see the results and…I froze in place.There were two red lines.Now everything made sense.I have been feeling
~Amara~“What about…”“Listen to me, Amara.”Nico said and I stopped talking for a while.I just hoped that he would answer most of my questions that I had asked him.“I know it's wrong that we went against our parents advice.”Nico was quiet for a while.“It's because we love each other so much and…we couldn't hold back no matter how much we tried.”Nico paused and heaved a deep sigh.I nodded my head vigorously to his words because it was true.We tried our best to hold back but…we couldn't because the pull was too strong to resist.Each time Nico touched me,he set my body on fire and I longed for more of his touches.I wanted him to continue touching me and do something more than just a touch.“I don't regret any moment that we made love and never would I even if it's a mistake.”His lips curved into a warm smile and he wiped tears from my eyes.“And this…”Nico took the pregnancy test kit from my hand and looked at it carefully,as though he hadn't seen it in the first place.“Is proof tha
~Amara~My grip on Nico's hand only tightened and I could hear my heart thumping in my ear.Dad creased his eyebrows in confusion and so was everyone at the table, except Nico and I who knew what was going on.“And…what is it?”Mom asked hesitantly and I felt worry and concern in her voice.“Amara and I…”Nico turned his head gently to look at me and I flashed him a polite smile even though I felt like running away at the moment.“We are expecting.Amara is pregnant.”Nico finally said the words that I found too hard to tell our parents.I subconsciously squeezed Nico's hand as it was gravely silent in the dining hall.From the corner of my eyes,I saw our parents and grandma surprised and speechless.I lowered my head in guilt as I couldn't bring myself to look them straight in the eyes.“We are sorry.''I whispered under my breath but loud enough for everyone at the table to hear.I felt ashamed of myself because I got pregnant while still in school.It was still silent when the dining room
~Amara~I lowered my head because I was afraid to look my Dad straight in the eyes.“I'm sorry.”I said in a low voice but loud enough for my Dad to hear what I had just said.I felt the need to apologise to him because I went against his advice.All I had to do was be a good girl and behave myself but…I let the desires of my body get the better of me and ended being pregnant…It was quiet for a while and I heard Dad heave a deep sigh then walked to the couch where I was seated.I didn't dare to raise my head to look at Dad even when I felt the cushion beside me deepened as Dad sat next to me.It was still quiet.”It's okay.''Dad said and I couldn't believe what he had just said.I thought that he would be mad at me because I didn't follow his advice.I thought that he would be ashamed of me because I'm pregnant at a young age and still in school.It would be better if I was a common member of my kingdom but…I'm the king's daughter.“You…are not ashamed of me or mad?”I asked hesitantly as
