Protecting The Royal Babies: Nanny For A Wife 115: Body and Soul
The next evening, the amulet was like my toy now. I had to practice on it, learn how to weild its energy, and use it to defend myself. But I wouldn't hold onto it for now. This part of training was meant for the finale. The day of Reagan's downfall...or the end of the Scarlet Order. No one knew what the future held in store for us. Xander sat on the living room couch. The amulet sat pretty around his neck while he surfed the net on his phone. It had been two hours already and save for the spark that destroyed the lights in the pack house, I had gone nowhere. "This is pointless." A single popcorn smacked me in the forehead. Even though it was less painful than I had just painted it to be, I just didn't see it coming. "It goes in your mouth, you know?" I sighed, folding my arms while I sat cross-legged on the living room's rug. Xander was still focused on his phone. "Your dull energy is rubbing off on me." "Why are you whining? Miles could have done this, but you insisted that i

I hyperventilated now. But Miles saw through my facade like glass and took me aside before the gang left the Scarlet Order. I had barely minutes until the fate of this entire mission rested on my shoulders. Miles had placed me against an alcove at the centre of the dimly-lit underground hallway. It was quiet and lonely. He knew I needed to catch my breath. And the goddess bless him for always knowing what I needed. He was too good to be true—I would always say that about him. "You're about to tell me to stop worrying and go out there and kick some ass," I blurted before he could get a chance to speak. "No, I'm about to tell you how beautiful you look dressed in leather." His eyes lazily dragged through my attire, falling back on my face as a charming smile rested on his. My heart fluttered. I couldn't stop it from reacting to this man. In fact, I wanted it to. I wanted him to be all I think about before I go to bed. "Can you stop trying to boost my ego?" "You're beautiful. I can

I cleared my throat, careful not to trip over my own foot. Kal still watched me like a hawk. His eyes told me he knew. My heart beat fast in my chest. I wondered if he would spill the beans on me now. Get up and tell Dax all there is to know about his supposed trusted 'man'. My hands trembled, and I hid them in the pocket of Wayan's suit pants. "Miles, there's a problem... cal," I communicated through the spell without words. It was a witch thing, just an instinct, something I couldn't explain. But I couldn’t wait for Miles to respond because I was distracted, and Dax had begun to notice that. "Wayan, is something the matter?" I shook my head. "No, Alpha Dax. Everything is good with me." "You are carrying fried chicken take outs and suddenly being absent-minded in my presence." The rest of him men sitting amongst us laughed about his reference to the spicy chicken packs in my left hand. I had even forgotten about them. I dropped on all fours instantly. "Forgive me, Alpha Dax

The best part was that Dax hadn't seen me. He was too occupied to have noticed my presence—but the worst part of tonight was certainly this, Jamal's dead body. Puke flooded my mouth. I had to press my lips together and hold it in because at this moment, I was thinking of Khadeen, the children they shared; how they would grow up without a father. Shit. This was bad. Miles had promised that none of them would be harmed. One look at Kal, and I knew he would never let this go. Kal fisted his hands, circling Xander in a battle position. Everyone else sat this one out because there was much to prove between the two men. Xander had crossed the line, and we were all still in shock. "Kal, please. Don't fight him." I tried to come near him, but in his rage, he brushed my hold off, letting me stagger away. Miles stabled me from behind, but I wouldn't even look at him. All my eyes were on Kal. He looked so furious. And I looked so ashen from fear, fear that he would be the next to lay in h

Modesta peered at me with hard eyes and surprise, all fit into one scrutinising gaze. I was the last person she expected to find on her doorstep, especially after everything that had happened to Mattie."Will you help us?" I pleaded, a crack showing in my voice because she was my last hope.He wouldn't make it through the night if we didn't do something to help him now. Kal sagged against my shoulders, falling because I couldn’t hold him up.He would probably curse for hours and chew his head off if he saw himself now, slumping against my body, weak and unable to help himself."Modesta—""You've brought trouble to my family again. Mattie wasn't enough.""I did nothing to harm Mattie. I know, I know I should have protected her better, but none was my fault.""If you hadn't lied, Cara Smyth, that rogue wouldn't have broken her until there was nothing left!"This was it. She was refusing to help us. Kal would die in my hands because not even my powers could save him now. This was the cur

For a moment, I let myself believe the lies coming out of his mouth. I let myself imagine that Kaloyan had a black heart, and everything he had ever said to me was a lie. But how could he have had an affair with Reagan? "Explain further, Miles. I don’t understand you." Miles tossed a set of photographs at my feet. Images of the Taigh before I had caused it to crumble filled each of them. It was the centre focus. The only thing he wanted me to see. "Pictures. They don’t speak, you know?" I couldn’t hide the bite in my tone, I was still angry at him for listening to Sky and not me last night. "The Taigh was built during Edward Kaine's rule as Lycan King. A rule that saw the fall of the druid clan and also the fall of Reagan." I squinted at the image. I had imagined that when Mattie had been talking about the Taigh, she had meant it to be something Kaloyan spear-headed, not his father. "Yes...with these, I am well versed, but with your point, I am not." I set my jaw rock hard

It's Kal's name that I saw spread on the flat screen of the TV. The Eastmoon palace had just been bombed. Nausea rushed through me in a dizzy wave and I felt sick. The twins, Kal, were they safe?In the next second, the news presenter answered my question. "...the King's twins have been injured in the bombing as well as several of the palace workers and guests…"My hand went to my mouth in utter shock as I dropped the phone in my crushing grip on the low coffee table. "... they've been rushed to the Eastmoon Hospital where they are currently receiving treatment from some of the very best doctors in the city…"I made my way to the front door in a rush, only to remember that I hadn't even bothered to grab cash.I had a very horrible feeling about this, and it pricked me at the base of my neck. The rest of the protectors were talking amongst themselves that they failed to notice the frenzy that I was in.The Eastmoon palace should be impenetrable. How did someone not just get in there

My cheek stung from the hit she had just dealt me. I glared daggers at her while the ghost of a smile played on her lips. She had provoked me on purpose, wanting to get a rise out of me and set me up again.But I was so furious that I was going to let myself play right into her trap. I let my power rise to the tips of my fingers, sneering at her.She didn't stop me, despite being a wolf, an Alpha's daughter. Shirley let me pull at her hair, burning it hot under my fiery palm.Of course, that was a weird thing to witness at a hospital. It had only lasted a second before Kaloyan pulled me off of his queen. I gnashed my teeth together, holding my anger down because this was neither the time nor the place to give the human world a show of my abilities."What the fuck is wrong with you?" His eyes blazed fury as he looked at me.But I held my chin high. "She attacked me first!""Is that why you'd want to burn off the hair on her head?" His voice lowered when he was next to me, but it had a

I arrived at the Eastmoon palace a while later. The cab dropped me off and I wouldn’t be surprised if Miles was tailing me with how abruptly I had left the pack house. The guards at the entrance immediately recognized my face. “I have a message for the Lycan King from Xora, the moon goddess.”The moment they heard the moon goddess, they figured that I was here on important business and they let me into the palace. I didn’t walk, I ran for where I knew Kaloyan would be, his study.But just when I was about to climb up the stairs, the twins shouted my name, “Cara!”They screamed, rushing over to me and I hugged them back, ruffling their hairs although this loud welcome was not what I needed at all. “Where’s Shirley?” I whispered but it was too late.“Right here.” She surfaced at the top of the first landing on the grand staircase. “What are you doing here? Last I checked, the Lycan King had commanded you never to return.”“My business is not with Kaloyan. It is with you.” I glared at

“When is she going to get here?” I huffed and Miles rubbed a hand over my back, placating my impatient pregnant ass.We were receiving Ingrid at the airport. She had travelled to the North pack again and knew nothing about Xander’s arrest. “Just a little more. I know she’d come out next—“Miles hadn’t even finished talking when Ingrid surfaced with her many bags from the airport. I rushed for her, pulling her into a warm hug. “Ingrid!” I shrieked, “how are you, my darling?!”She hugged me tightly like we hadn’t seen each other in years which wasn’t exactly the fact. We helped her put her bags in the trunk, while we were in the car and she rode shotgun, she kept going on and on about her trip. “I can’t wait to see Xander. The last time I left things were pretty tense around here. Miles even had you locked up.” Ingrid’s eyes bulged as she realised she was touching a delicate subject.“It’s fine. He knows he made a grave mistake and is currently paying for it.”“Where’s Xander, Miles

I stopped breathing. He had run out and it was my fault because I had put that dagger in Joseph Kaine’s heart. I worried my bottom lip with my teeth, distraught.“You need to rest, Kal.” I held his arm, begging him to not dare leave me behind. He had to fight whatever this was, but I had seen what lacking Joseph’s blood did to him. I knew deep down that he was in grave danger. We had to do something fast. “I won’t die today.” He kissed my cheek tenderly. “Promise me you’ll show up for breakfast.”I thought about it for a second. Being at a table with Shirley made poop more inviting. Though I was eager to see Kal’s next move. Would he fight for whatever we have that we couldn’t seem to get over?“I promise.”He smiled at me, taking his time to let go of my hand until our fingertips parted. I smiled back and offered a tiny wave, wary of the hope I felt inside my heart. Kaloyan would choose me this time around. He had just made a mistake the last time. He just needed to see Shirley’s

I snatched the amulet from his neck while he fell lifeless on the ground. The mask wore off and Miles began to understand what was happening.“What were you thinking, Cara?! That was too dangerous—“I wore the amulet and breathed in power. It coursed through me. Miles stopped in his tracks because he could see it too, what was currently happening. I was becoming one with the gods item. And this had not happened before. “Cara,” he muttered.And I smiled, chest rising and falling hard as I declared, “It’s finally mine, Miles. I’m the rightful Queen of Arzdith Valley and Salems power flows through me!”“No!” Our head snapped to the piercing scream we heard. Reagan bounded over. She slid to the ground at Joseph’s side, shaky hands holding him close. It was weird seeing her this way.I didn’t know evil was capable of loving someone, but I guess it was true. In their own twisted way, they had loved each other. The rest of the protectors and the black guards and Dax’s army dashed over, so

The moon goddess was right. I was in the wrong place. The back of the line was not meant for me. I should be looking for Joseph Kaine and cutting deep into his throat. If it was Reagan I found first, even better. I grabbed a sun sword from the ground. The black guard that had been carrying it was dead on the floor. His green eyes were open and lifeless. I said a prayer for his soul as I stepped over him.“Argh!” I screamed, fighting with all my might and casting the fire spell which consumed the blade of my sword. I was slashing through demons at a rate of knots. The fire was destabilising them, giving me the advantage of speed when it should have been the other way around. At the back of my mind, I knew there was something I had to do. Who led the demon army? That question was yet to be answered. I had seen Joseph, Xander and Reagan conniving at the Silver Eye pack, but it seemed I had missed out on the last piece in the band of evils. Two demons came at me. I used my eyes to con

Kaloyan and Miles got down, followed by Sky. I stayed in the backseat, holding the twins close as they approached the cloaked figure. The streets were dark and lonely. There was mist floating in the path ahead of us. A chill coursed through my spine. I didn’t want any more danger. I needed a breather. A moment with my family again—even though, technically, they were no longer mine. When I saw the three of them bowing to the cloaked figure, curiosity had me getting down from the car. I put Jared in charge. He was more mischievous than his brother, but Jardran could never control Jared.“Kal, what’s going on?”I gasped and lost a step when I saw the face underneath the hood. She was as magnificent as Reagan was back in the Silver Eye pack. I gaped at her glittering pale skin and blue eyes. There was no doubt who this was. The one whom only the six protectors were given the luxury of speaking to face-to-face.“Oh my God, you’re Xora. The moon…the moon goddess.” I bowed my head so low
Protecting The Royal Babies: Nanny For A Wife 127: Fight For Us
I gulped, freezing for a long moment. There were a thousand and one ways this could go, but neither were about me escaping this unscathed. Reagan was here because he knew. “How did you know?” I sighed, pulling the mask off and switching back to myself.“I dated you. And even though you don't believe a word I'm saying, I loved you once—”“People who love me die, Xander. Stop lying to yourself.”He rolled his eyes and stepped forward to cuff my hands. “Either way, it was easy to tell that you were not my cousin. You escaped. There was only one place Cara would go and that would be to the Order, just to convince Miles that your Lycan King is innocent. Am I wrong?”I said nothing, just staring at the traitor he chose to serve. The evil that would be upon all of us soon. I had to think of a way to save the twins, but I could only come up with a miracle.“So you knew from the moment he texted you that this was going to be a trap?” I gaped at him. “Miles already suspected me the day he lock

CARA’S POVI headed out to meet Xander while wearing Miles’s face. It was highly dangerous because this could be a trap, but I could get to see the twins again and stall him from harming them. That was all that mattered. I drove his fast car, reminiscing the night of the accident when Athena died. It always flashed back to me whenever I sat in a car, but I had gotten used to the memories and the sadness that overtook me.There was a GPS tracker on the car. I carried his cellphone because everything had to be right. Xander couldn’t suspect a thing until we had him fooled. The Silver Eye pack laboratory was close. As I neared it, I said a silent prayer to Xora, begging her to save us all this once. I would protect the twins better if we got out of this mess. “Xander,” I called in a baritone Miles would use when I went down the stairs, leading into the underground laboratory.“You’ve always hated coming here.” His voice came behind me and I snapped my neck to him.He was right there,
Protecting The Royal Babies: Nanny For A Wife 125: Please Don’t Go
KALOYAN'S POVI moved closer to where they stood because I couldn’t keep myself far away from them any longer. I hated the way this wolf looked at Cara. Those eyes of his. I knew what it meant.He was in love with mine. I had no claim over Cara after everything that had happened, but I couldn’t help myself. My wolf still craved her. Her scent still drove me wild. I wished there was a way she would forgive me for the wrong choices I had made. But I wasn't yet out of those wrong choices. Shirley was my mate now.Miles glanced at me and stopped talking, turning away and leading us to where the rest of the Scarlet Order were settled. I walked paces behind Cara, not wanting to invade her personal space, even though my wolf was hungry to feed on her scent. Once we entered the camp, all four of them stood on their feet, their razor sharp gazes pinned on me, the enemy. Miles Kovani seemed to be crossing the line here with my presence.“What is the Lycan King doing here, Commander?” “Sky
