Protecting The Royal Babies: Nanny For A Wife 69: Baking With The Twins
CARA'S POV "Daddy's birthday is tomorrow." Jardran said excitedly as I watched his legs dangle off the countertop. We had already established that countless times, but they were just too excited to keep their mouths shut. I didn't know where Kaloyan was now, but I didn't care to know. He could be burning hell, and I wouldn't even bat an eyelash. Pathological liars say all sorts of things to convince even themselves. I guess myself wasn't the exception. I would cry a river if anything happened to that asshole, but him burning in hell wouldn't make me bat an eyelash? Unconsciously, I swiped through the cookery book, now not even caring to look at the title of the dishes because my mind was on their father. It was late. Where could he have gone? "Earth to Athena!" Jared snapped his fingers over my eyes. I blinked out of my thoughts, remembering myself and the little mission we had to complete tonight. The twins would even stay awake past their bedtime. "I know what we should do.

Mattie fell to the ground. I couldn't bear to look at her. I couldn't bear to look. My eyes shut tight, but the tears still poured forth. I fell down. Meanwhile, Patricia grabbed me, shouting in my ears. "Athena! We have to run!" But I couldn't move. He killed her. Styker Marsden killed my friend. Just like Marc and Ximena who died, Mattie had died, too. I was losing everyone I loved because I didn't have the power. "Athena!" But then... I had the power. Kaloyan didn't die. The spell I cast had worked, and the witch's familiar had been crushed by morning. Aisling had been right. "Cara Smyth!" Patricia shouted, waking me up from my trance. When my eyes cracked open, I looked finally at Mattie. I saw her lying there with a smashed head. Styker jumped down, landing on his two feet. He looked scary, but maybe I was scarier. If Aisling was right about me being a druid queen, Styker would be no match for me. I didn't know what to do or how to do anything, but I just acted. Shoot

Kal stormed into our bedroom after me. He grabbed my arm, furious that I had ever suggested leaving him. I had panicked. The only reason I did that was because of the guilt I felt. It would break me to see Kal hate me forever when he discovers the truth. Let me run now, and stop bringing harm their way. I could fight Reece outside this palace, and this lie. They would never get to know what I truly am, but I could protect the ones I care about. "Kal, leave me alone." "I will only end this marriage on one condition!" He said in my face, too close for my senses to function properly. "And what's that?" "Tell me. Why would Farrah kill the demon she made work for her?" I froze for a minute. I still couldn't grasp what had happened on the courtyard and the new discoveries I had just made about myself. Now Kaloyan's asking me like I knew the answer to his question. "Is this some kind of joke? How am I supposed to know that?" "Good. You aren't supposed to know that. Our marriage won't

I could defend myself now, but there was no one on earth who would be comfortable with the knowledge that they were being stalked. I looked at the door a third time that minute, terribly alarmed.The physician walked in, and my breath hitched in my throat. For a moment, I had thought it would be someone else walking into the room. Perhaps the person who had been secretly watching me."Oh, Mrs. Kaine. You are here." The physician spared me a bow. "I just came to check up on her and give her some medicine.""How is she doing?" I glanced at Mattie for a bit, still feeling uncomfortable. "Do not worry. Her skin is healing perfectly and at a fast rate. Trauma keeps her wolf under lock and key. She will have to get past that in order to regain consciousness."Trauma. Styker Marsden had done more than enough harm. He had hunted the poor girl twice. I clenched my fists at my side. The only thing calming me down was that fact that I had given him the ending blow.Now, I just had to figure out

I wanted to run from this moment because if this woman had proof that she actually knew me, how would it look when I didn't remember a thing about her. I didn't even know when I hid behind Kaloyan unconsciously. The girl had left my wrist at once when she saw the Alpha walk over. She fell back a step, knowing she was in trouble. "Who are you?" Kal arched a crooked brow at her. "I knew Athena-" "It's Queen Athena, or would you like to be sanctioned for disrespecting a royal?" The girl gulped. "I knew Queen Athena a few years ago. We worked together and I haven't seen her all this while." "But she said she doesn't know who you are." Her eyes snapped up as she shook her head with vigour, pleading for her life. "I swear on my father's grave that we know each other. I don't know-" "Are you calling your Queen a liar?" I tugged on the sleeve of Kaloyan's black shirt, telling him to stop. Let's just leave this here and ignore the girl. It wasn't a big deal, but Kal was already susp

I still couldn't forget about everything Kaloyan said at the party yesterday. He wanted a honeymoon. He wanted to trust Reece, and I couldn't tell him not to because I was also a traitor. A new maid had been assigned to my room. She helped me put on makeup for the day. I was to attend the throne room meeting because Lord Ezra would face trial today.After getting ready, I left the room and walked to the throne room alone. Khadeen offered to hang out with the twins today while Kaloyan and I were busy with the Lord's case.The doors opened, and I entered. His council seated there, waiting for the minute they would decide the faith of the Alpha's favourite Lord. My eyes met Kaloyan's as he seated on his throne, looking graceful.I smiled, and he smiled back.Kaloyan's deep voice began the meeting for the day. "Bring Lord Ezra in, Jaime."Jaime now served as the captain of the black guards because Geoffrey and General Roknan didn't return from the Ardzith Valley. He moved at his Alpha's

KALOYAN'S POV That sassy woman. I had been in a bad mood all day because of her and her terrible mouth. I was the cruel Alpha she shouldn't trust, but I was a fool to think that she saw me in a different light than the others. Even at night, we slept on different sides of the bed, like strangers. I couldn't take it anymore, so I left halfway through the night. On the dining table, we ate in silence. Only the twins had more than enough to say, but I could tell this silence between us made her even more miserable.I took my jacket from the maid at my side and excused myself from the table. The twins waved at me, and I waved back. Athena had to tell them each morning that I was off to work, but it never got old. I went to my study to grab a few papers I needed. My phone rang. It was Jamal, and I answered on the first ring. "Hello, Jamal? How's it going?""Well enough." He sounded vague. "Guess where I am right now, Kal. You will never believe it.""Mexico?""Japan."I pinched my fore

CARA'S POV After the car sex, Kaloyan gave me lessons himself. I almost crashed the car so many times that I concluded I wasn't safe for the roads. "Just keep your eyes on the road, this time." He sounded frustrated with my lack of skills behind the wheel."I'm doing that!""But you almost hit that old woman!"I turned to him, glaring because it wasn't my choice to leave my bed and become a sudden, inexperienced car owner. This was his fault, not mine. If there were any casualties, it would be on his head and not mine."Who's fault is that?""Are you saying it's mine?""Sometimes, you really do act like a man child." I put the car in park and jumped out of it.He was right behind me, grabbing my arm, even though we were on a highway. "What do you want from me?!""This man-child is crazy about you, and he can't help it, Athena."Kaloyan kissed me on this busy road. His hands cupped my face, and mine fell to his arms. I gripped harder when he deepened the kiss. God, this man could kis

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
Protecting The Royal Babies: Nanny For A Wife 133: Two Days Later
“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
Protecting The Royal Babies: Nanny For A Wife 132: The Seventh Protector
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
