Protecting The Royal Babies: Nanny For A Wife 29: Darlene and I
Athena's best friend was a dog? What the hell is wrong with people? Dogs could be cute, but why not specify that a dog is a dog and not just a best friend that could be anybody but a damned dog! I took a step back as my heart skipped many beats, but Kaloyan's hand that had slipped around my waist kept me rooted to a spot.Everyone put up a smile except me. The guard left the little dog to run to me, and I couldn't tell if Kaloyan was holding me to a spot on purpose. I could have fled on instinct. My palms felt sweaty at my side. I had even shut my eyes, but then, nothing happened. I looked and saw Kaloyan petting the tiny dog calm. He was controlling the little animal with ease. Everyone held their breaths. First, it was with the princes, and now he was being soft with a dog. It was out of character. Something that had never been seen in the Eastmoon palace since he became king, weeks ago."Simon, give the dog a fine cage and place her in our bedroom." "Are you serious?" I half yell

Voices sprang to life inside the room. Shocked ones and angry ones. Many believed I was stupid to have put myself in harm's way. I started to believe that, too, after a few seconds of watching the anger reigning on Kaloyan's features. I had disrespected him more than once within the space of minutes.Suddenly, I remembered what Beta Reece had done to the woman who spoke out of line. Her head rolled off on the room's black marble tiles. But Beta Reece wasn't here now, and Kaloyan had said nothing yet.To my surprise, again, it was Lord Ezra who came forward first and said, "My King, do not pay Ms. Williams any heed. She's only acting up because of her relationship with the culprit."Lord Timothy added. "I agree with Lord Ezra. As for the necklace thief, she should be locked up as agreed, Alpha Kaloyan. The Lord in question is a high ranked Eastmoon wolf, and his daughter Ivy was once your betrothed. They shouldn't be treated any less important.""What do our laws state about elderly wol

Khadeen had proposed something was wrong, but didn't exactly tell me what. Her eyes were reluctant to meet mine. Her words seemed like lies, but yet I still offered a smile in return.She explained. "The ball isn't friendly to newbies. You'd be the centre of attention, and you would never expect the drama that would come your way.""Is that all, Khadeen?" I cast her a wary look, but she was good at keeping a solid poker face. "Well, the Alpha requested my presence, and I cannot refuse him."She spared a barely-there smile. "Of course, you can't. He's the Alpha. What was I thinking...""Do you now see why I'm not to be hated?""Athena, whatever do you mean?" She feigned ignorance."Because whatever the Alpha does is solely on him. I have no hand in it, and neither would anyone say I'm in favour of it." I met her gaze intently. "Khadeen, you hated me from the moment I walked into the beach that faithful day.""Fine, I can't agree less. Forgive me for not giving you a chance to prove how

Five minutes later... My head hurt as I cracked my eyes open. I was still in the ballroom. The cluster of magnificent chandeliers still stood above the centre aisle. Everything sparkled like the flourscent lightings bathing the room, save for the flowers that brought a different kind of warmth to the space. I glanced at my side. My eyes popped when I saw Kaloyan sitting there, watching me. I quickly sat up straight, wondering how long I had passed out for. I remembered I had just been drinking before someone swiped the glass out of my hand. But who? My memories stopped there. I couldn't recall anything else; nothing about Kaloyan joining me on this table or even falling asleep. "How long have I been out?" He checked his watch. "Five minutes since I got here. I found you dozing off when we should be having fun. Your words." "I don't remember anything." "Alcohol: 1, Athena: 0." He smiled, and it spread across his face, genuine and beautiful. It made me think about how Master

KALOYAN'S POV I stormed into the palace. Every living thing knew better than to stand in my way. After looking everywhere for Athena, it wasn't until Geoffrey informed me that Ezra was at it again. He had taken matters into his hands and disregarded me. I marched into the throne room, where they were already waiting for me. I discarded my suit jacket, holding my hand out for the nearest person to take it. It didn't matter who did. All that mattered was that it was gone. I folded the arms of my dress shirt. I settled on my throne, dragging in a long breath to calm the tower of rage building inside me without a stop in mind. The faces of the witnesses in the room were all familiar. Ivy stood at her father's side. She was a great woman and a great friend, but the moon goddess had bestowed her with a destiny unaligned with being a Luna. "My king, I have gathered all those who witnessed Ms. Athena Williams mock the crown with her deception." Lord Ezra, still piloting this circus, ca

I was living the worst hell on earth. My cries continued the entire night. I couldn't understand what had happened to me. Why had I kissed Levi so passionately and in secret? That wasn't me, but no one would believe if I said it wasn't me doing that. Not even Kaloyan.I cried because I feared what he would do to me. I was a traitor for all the wrong reasons. Wrapping my arms around myself, the shivering continued. I was so cold and so exhausted with life. Maybe I could do what had to be done before Master Kaine could.I shut my eyes and held my breath. I just had to not breathe for three minutes, and slowly, I would feel my life slipping away, but the sound of my cell opening told me I was wrong.It was when someone lifted me into their arms that I cracked my eyes open. Master Kaine was here, and it was not to kill me. He said nothing as he took me out of the Eastmoon prison, letting my hands hook around his neck.Was I dreaming?I bit the inside of my cheek, but I was still right here

When Kaloyan returned from the office later that day, fear held my heart in a strong fist, squeezing like a vice. I felt pain in my chest as each erratic beat hammered against my ribcage. When someone's mind couldn't be read, you'd always have to walk on thin ice around them. I couldn't understand his ways. He should have discarded me by now. I wasn't fit to be queen after kissing another man two days to our wedding.I wore a silk nightdress with loose short sleeves and a rope tied around the cleavage, like the ribbon on top of every prize, just needing to be tugged. Mattie didn't walk with me. I knew the way up to his bedroom. I couldn't control the tremble in my knees as I walked. Even though I begged myself to be strong as always, I didn't know what to expect from him. He should be angry. Only the goddess knows what kind of night this would be.I found Kaloyan standing before a window alcove at the end of the hall. This one overlooked the fields and the forest ahead. I couldn't s

It was my bachelorette. Mattie rolled the curtains away, clapping over my face to wake me up like I was in some military camp. I rolled onto my stomach, spitting slightly when a chunk of Athena's hair got caught between my lips. "What time is it?" I groaned. Last night, I crashed in my new room and not in the king's bedroom. We stayed up late practising for the Luna festival with Mattie's sister. It was a lot of fun, but the morning after was always terrible because the Eastmoon palace required everyone to be early risers. "It's 5am. There's a lot to do." She squealed. "Athena, it's your bachelorette party. I'm so excited." "Do I even get to have a guest list?" Mattie averted her gaze in guilty shock. "Erm, guest list? The Eastmoon wives have cleared their schedule for today, all for you!" I groaned again, realising I would have to spend the day with Patricia and that butthead Arianna. It ruined my day before it even started. I thought about Kaloyan and rolled onto my back, sta

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
