Protecting The Royal Babies: Nanny For A Wife 50: Traitors Meet
I slowly turned, coming face to face with a black guard. He was the one I had just felt his presence. The way he stealthily moved through the bushes disclosed that he was an Eastmoon wolf. "Who are you, and why do you have the Alpha’s face?!" For a second, I was blank. How could he have known so easily? Unless this man had been following and studying for a long time before I got to this entrance. "I'm your Alpha!" My voice shook, and I winced at the way it did. "You are a woman trespassing. Not my Alpha." I edged closer to the wall, but the second my hands and back touched the wall of the building, the Taigh crumbled, taking me unawares. Did I just do that? First, the ground shook, distracting the black guard. It shook harder, and he and I lost our balance. Blocks of the crumbling building began pelting on the ground like rain and on us. I saw him struggling to reach for his gun that had tumbled out of his hand, and I ran, knowing fully well he was about to pull the trigger.

"If any of you so much as breathes in her path, I will break every bone in your body." That. That was Kaloyan's voice. I had shut my eyes when the command to arrest me came, but it hadn't come from Kal. It had come from the black guard I had an encounter with outside. He didn't know my face, but it was obvious to everyone that I was the only woman living in this palace still outside by this time of the night. The first voice came again. "But she's guilty! She's the one who stole your face—" "Jaime, I'll remind you it is my wife you are speaking of, and when it comes to her, I'm unforgiving." Kaloyan faced him with a voice laced with granite and molten from the hottest volcano on earth. "Look at her. Does she have my face, or is there another face of mine lying about the place that I don't know about?" My face pinched into a flitting frown. Kaloyan didn't believe the black guard's claims about the face shifter who had come to destroy the Taigh with her hands. "I'm sorry for disres

KALOYAN'S POV It was no more. The voice inside the dark building wouldn't summon me again. When the Taigh had fallen, it had fallen with it—at least I hoped it had. The Black Guards behind me waited for my command. I just didn't know what it would be. "I swear the woman who I saw had your face. She touched the wall of the building, and instantly, the ground shook, and it collapsed—" "Jaime!" He lowered his head, flustered. "Yes, King Kaloyan." It was past midnight, and I was unusually exhausted tonight. I knew I had to send my brother a message. Joseph would know what had crept into the city at night and taken away Eastmoon's uncanny prisoner. Because the Taigh had been built by my father. No one knew whom he had locked up in there. When Joseph changed the game, he forced me to surrender to the voice in the dark prison. "Reece, patrol north of the city. I'll take south with a few men." I turned to the black guards dressed in dark suits, unsheathing my blade. "If you run into de

CARA'S POV I didn't know why I ran from him. I had come to check if he was okay after hunting the faceshifter last night. He didn't return to our bedroom. I had woken up alone and worried. Watching him slit Arianna's throat had me scared stiff. Even though she was guilty of what happened between Levi and I, I still shook from the fear of tomorrow. Kaloyan hadn't even thought twice about it. He would do the same to me when he discovered the truth, but Mattie hadn't said anything yet. Reece kept his word, but he was waiting for my answer, and soon, his patience would run slim. My mind wandered as I walked the hallway outside the throne room. When I looked up, guards rushed towards the throne room. If I was invisible, they would have dashed right through me because none had stopped to bow. It was an urgent matter for their Alpha that they carried. And I wondered what. I returned to the throne room, only to find that Arianna's body had been removed. They were taking her to the royal

"Kaloyan, condom—You didn't wear a condom." I panted, petrified of what we had just done. He was still inside me as he kept me back on his desk. I was worried, but his silence made me worry even more. He kept my legs on his shoulder and pulled out of me, gasping from the sensation. A smile spread over his face. I felt moisture seep out of me. It fascinated him. "You are so beautiful, Athena." He kissed the inside of my thigh and let my legs down. He used a paper towel in his study to clean me up, unbothered by what had just happened. I wouldn't stay here forever. What if I got pregnant with Master Kaine's child? Fear was making me feel nauseous. "Kal, I said you didn't wear a condom." He let me down from his desk, planting a kiss on my cheek. "It doesn't matter. We are married. We can make babies as much as we want." I scowled. "Marriage is a two-way thing, King Kaloyan. If you want to make babies, don't you think we should talk about it before you put one inside me?!" He said

KALOYAN'S POV I cursed under my breath as I held my shaking hand. It was weak, and I hated weak. Weak had no place when I had a family and a city to protect. This demon was out there on a killing spree, and now, I would enter the territory of what remains of the druid clan. The druids were an ancient clan that lived amongst wolves. In the past, our kind fought each other. It wasn't until my father drove them off the earth that peace began to reign. They were back, and I could swear revenge had a special number on their to-do list. "Lord Henry!" I called through a mind link while seated on my desk. Athena was on my mind. My sons and the day we should have had before the Ravenclaws and their ill luck came upon us, weighed sorrowfully on my chest. I knew there was something more. Something deeper than what meets the eye killed the Ravenclaws, but I refused to accept my suspicions, foolishly so. Lord Henry knocked on the door of the study. He had come at once after my summon. I said

CARA'S POV Kaloyan reached for my hand and held it tightly. The twins were busy playing games on their ipads. Their eyes glued to the screen, and they had left it on loudspeaker. The sound of crashing cars and zooming engines lived in the background. My eyes fixed on Kal driving again. He looked hot, holding the steering wheel and wearing the casual clothes he wore now. We had gotten a change of clothes before stepping out because it was a chilly day. I just didn't know if it was okay for him to be doing this. Kaloyan leaned in, placing his lips against my ear for a few seconds. "You are beautiful. I can’t take my eyes off you." My face flushed. I looked away, feeling his thumb caressing the back of my palm. I didn't expect him to kiss the back of my hand. My heart skipped in a good way when he did that. "Drive. Keep your eyes on the road instead." I giggled when he did the exact opposite. "Please, Kal." "I love hearing you say that." "Why? You enjoy hearing me beg you?" He f

"Where am I?" I whirled around and around, but I couldn't find the twins. This wasn't the mall. Trees surrounded me. Cedar trees with scary heights. I looked at my feet and discovered my clothes had turned into a red garment, which dropped after me on the ground. I ran forward, hoping to escape this place. The twins could be in danger. I had to protect them and protect Kal. Sometimes, I forgot I didn't have any power, but I still wouldn't stop until I've done everything I could to protect the ones I cared about. Marc and Ximena were the last ones to die. It would never happen again. When the path of cedar trees ended, I faced an endless body of sapphire blue water. I stood a while watching the full moon's reflection on it. "You are one of us." I turned, gasping as my heart skipped a few beats and thumped against the walls of my chest. The voice sent a shiver through me. I wasn't at the North Pole, but suddenly, I froze in fear. The woman showed herself. Her clothes weren't diff

Protecting The Royal Babies: Nanny For A Wife 134: Curse Breaker
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
Protecting The Royal Babies: Nanny For A Wife 129: Darkness Has Become Whole
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
Protecting The Royal Babies: Nanny For A Wife 126: The Enemy's Den
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
