Leave us." Alexia ordered the guard who shut the door.Amelia whipped around in consternation.What did that make her? She was the queen for goodness sake. " Where are you going this early?" Alexia gave her a measured look." What do you think?" Amelia muttered under her breath. " I can't hear you." Alexia said, as she descended downstairs daring Amelia to repeat what she thought. " Nothing." Amelia remained rooted to her spot, unwilling to back down at Alexia's stare. " I thought so. Where are you sneaking to? Tell your lover that you are now a queen, you will not disgrace my son." Alexia spat." Really? All you care about is your son." " Give me a reason I should trust you. After sleeping with two brothers. You think I would trust you after that?" Amelia's jaw fell open at the insult. She was not expecting the conversation to go down that route. " You didn't just call me a whore." She muttered in disbelief." It is what it is." " Stiles approached me first!" Amelia shouted, sh
"He was a good man. Just made too many mistakes in his choice of a wife which led to his demise." Alden replied. " You mean Alexia and Nicky." Cisca inquired." Yeah, he actually fancied Nicky. Alexia was out of frustration." Alden replied. That he was sure of. " That's a wrong reason to get married. Was your mother his true mate?" She asked tactically. He shied away from talking about her." She was, their friction was due to mismanagement. They didn't understand each other, thus leading to problems." Now Cisca's interest was piqued, " What do you mean?" " He cheated and tried to give her space. She thought he didn't love her anymore." " This was just a case of misunderstanding." " Yes. They were too proud to iron out their issues. My father made it worse by getting Nicky pregnant. If it were only Alexia, my mom would have been more inclined to forgive him. It's not always easy for a woman to forgive repeated cheating. No matter the circumstance." He said." That's so sad. Was
The funeral procession went on smoothly, and Alden sighed when he returned home. His father was buried close to his father and Alden felt so many emotions course through him when he saw the corpse. The fact that someone could kill this man was mind boggling. If it turned out that his suspicions about Alexia's involvement. was right, then all hell would be let loose. " Now I can rest, it has been a long day." Stiles said as he ascended the stairs. Then he looked sideways and noticed that Alden was busy sipping a glad of wine at the bar. It was a good time to have a chat with him. Stiles walked to where Alden was seating and drew out a stool. He intentionally wanted to look for trouble. " What's eating you up?" He asked.Alden didn't raise his head from his cup, instead he ran clutched the stem of the glass. " Never thought I'd see the day that you would be unable to speak." Stiles commented, waiting for him to tick.Alden barely made a move, he looked like a statue just watching th
" Wake up, sleepy head." Melissa banged on Cisca's door the next morning. Cisca woke up in fright, looked at the time, and wondered why Melissa was banging on her door this early. She arose gently and put on her robe, before heading to the door. " What is it?"" Good morning to you too. Why are you still sleeping?" Melissa asked accusingly. Cisca furrowed her brows in confusion, was she missing something? It was four in the morning, and nowhere close to their resumption time. " Can you speak in plain English?" She asked instead. Her brain was not up to process this conversation." You will be resuming at the mansion right now." Melissa said. Sleep vanished from Cisca's eyes, " Why?" Melissa groaned in irritation, why was Cisca questioning her? " Why are you asking me? I do not make the rules, you know?" " No, I don't know." Cisca wanted to reply, but didn't want an argument, what she wanted was to sleep in peace, nothing more, nothing less. It was still too early for goodness sa
" What is wrong with her?" Stiles inquired from Dr. Bart, after she was wheeled into the ICU. " I will need to attend to her first." He replied, and hurried into the ICU. Stiles paced around at the reception in annoyance, he told her not to drink, yet she went ahead." What is going on?" Nicky inquired, and before he could reply, the whole household was gathered." What happened to her?" " The doctor is doing his job, he will tell us when he is done." Stiles replied.After few hours, Dr. Bart came out, with a tired look on his face. " I will like to speak to the Alpha alone." " Say whatever you want to say here." Queen Alexia cut in. replied.Dr. Bart was confused, " I'll go with him." Stiles said, and walked to his office.." She is in coma. She aspirated when she fell." " What can I do to help her wake up promptly?" " She needs a reason to." Stiles groaned, the doctor didn't understand. " My coronation is in a week's time, I need her to be awake. How can you help me?" He aske
Both men stared head on at each other, " What the hell?" Alden inquired."She is a queen, you wouldn't be so happy if I laid a finger on your mother would you?" He retorted.Alden grew angrier and was about to charge towards Stiles, but Cisca held on to his arms, "Don't listen to him, he wants you to get mad." She pleaded.Alden carefully disengaged from Cisca, she couldn't stop a six foot two man anyway. " Save your intimidation for pussies. Leave my name out of your mouth." "I am the king and you will bow to me whether you like it or not!" Stiles bellowed. Queen Nicky and Martin were downstairs the next minute. " What is going on here?!" Nicky screamed when she saw the two men almost at each other's throat, their veins pulsating quickly. "Lets hash this out man to man. Bickering like a woman will not solve this." Alden challenged. He was so down to hand Stiles his ass. He had this fight coming long ago."Separate them, why are you crying?" Nicky faced Alexia." Hey, son. He is
"Doctor! I think the Queen is moving!" A nurse shouted, barging into Doctor Bart's office, gasping and sweatingDr.Bart sprang to his feet, the instant he heard the news and raced with the nurse to the ward where Amelia lay. The beeping sound of the monitor indicated that she was awake, but Amelia lay motionless on the bed."Can you hear me Amelia?" The doctor asked, touching her hand; it was still cold, and her pulse was weak. But it was a bit better than when she just arrived "If you can hear me, move your hands." He said and observed for any movement. Doctor Bart shifted his gaze to the ray of sunlight filtering into the room, it was shining close to Amelia's bed. "Move those curtains." He instructed and Nurse Julia obeyed. Just then, the door opened, and another nurse walked in, interrupting Dr. Bart's concentration. Dr. Bart contorted his face into a frown as he looked at the intruder. "Give me a good reason why you are here." Nurse Grace wore a sheepish expression, and bowe
"Get me the pacemaker." Dr. Bart raised his voice above the beeping monitor, and Nurse Julia scurried to get it from the ward where instruments were kept." Pass me the defibrillator." Dr. Bart ordered, as her pulse began to drop rapidly. Nurse Cindy connected it and he placed it on her chest. Amelia jerked as the shock coursed through her, causing Dr. Bart to relax a bit. He placed it on her chest the second time, and her upper body jerked in response. He felt for her pulse which was a tad bit louder than before. Just then, Nurse Julia returned with the pacemaker, " Here it is, sir." She placed it on the sterilized table. " Let's watch her for a few hours." He replied instead and watched the monitor lines move in a regular pattern. Thankfully the loud beep had reduced.When he was certain that she was fine, he turned towards the two nurses who stared at him expectantly. "Nurse Cindy, you will relieve Julia of her duty tonight." Then he picked up his writing pad and strode out of t
