"walk with me." Queen Alexia ordered as she took a condescending look at Cisca's room when she opened the door. Cisca followed her blindly and Reagan walked stealthily a hundred feet behind them. Who knew what Alexia was up to?" Where are you heading to?" A guard stopped Reagan at the gate. " Queen Alexia told me to come with her." She lied. The guard stared at her for some seconds before opening the gate. She bundled down the road. That man had caused her to be far behind. Looking sideways, she decided to take left.The moon gave her light with intensity, which was different from her regular peek-a-boo. Crickets also chirped loudly in a rhythmic chorus, as they continued down to the forest area.Alexia had not turned once and Cisca was beginning to panic as she noticed that they were treading a lonely path. " Umm... Queen. I.." She stammered. Alexia stopped when they got to the clearing. Not once did she see a patrol guard walk past. Granted, they could be stealthy, but she s
" What happened to her?!" Alden barged into the hospital with alacrity. Now, he understood the unexplainable weird feeling that he tried to figure out. " Please calm down." Nurse Cindy placated him and tried to stop him from entering the emergency room. " Where is she?!" He bellowed, gave her a daring stare and Cindy shriveled in fear.He turned to Reagan who stepped forward timidly. " She is being attended to." " What happened to her?" He asked." She fainted. Dr. Bart is taking care of her." Reagan lied. Alden paced in front of the ward. Turbulent thoughts ran through his mind and different horrifying images plagued his mind. He shook his head to get rid of them. The what-if questions refused to budge, and he felt real torment. His hands became clammy as perspiration covered him. His heart raced faster than a horse on steroids. The hands of fear gripped him. The door swung open, and Nurse Martha strode out, stopping a few inches from colliding with Alden. " Prince Alden, Dr. B
The Next Day, " I came the instant I heard!" Queen Alexia rushed into the hospital with Martin in tow. She came to see how far her plan had been achieved. Information reached her that Reagan told Alden about Romero. Judging from Alden's somber countenance, she knew it was successful. " How is she doing?" Martin inquired. His heart almost left his chest when he heard about the incident. It was not yet time for her to leave. " She is in the ward." Martin moved, " No one is allowed to use her." Alden added, halting Martin's step. He sighed and dipped his hand into his pocket. He was blatantly ignoring Alexia, he didn't trust her a bit." You were with her last night." He challenged. " Yes, till a few minutes past eight." Alexia maintained a poker face. " In the woods." Alden sat up straighter. His head made calculations. " Are you trying to say something?" She challenged. The nurses were ready for another drama." We don't have to cause a scene here," Martin whispered when he not
"Alpha Maxwell." He greeted, with his jaw stubbornly set, his eyes accusing. It was obvious that he overheard their conversation.Alpha Maxwell halted for a bit. With an unsmiling face, Maxwell ignored him and went on his way. He gauged Alden's reaction to see if he overheard their conversation. Alexia opened the door when she heard Alden's voice. Disapproval shone in her eyes, " Have you come to accuse me again?" She confronted him.His eyes crinkled with mischief, " On the contrary, I think that you would be more inclined to hear what I have to say." He said.She folded her arms, impatience got the best of her, " I don't have time for games. Unlike you, some of us have things to do with our time." She said." Hmm." Alden hummed in agreement. Another dropped in his mind, " What if I help you bargain with Alpha Maxwell? He leaves you alone forever." He knows. Alexia thought. " What do you mean?" Her eyes blazed with anger, " You have refused vehemently to help out, why the sudden c
A knock on the door interrupted their conversation. With a deep frown and annoyance, Alden grunted. " Who is that?" " It's Martin. I heard Cisca is awake." He said." Come in." He replied with a gruff voice. The door swung open and Martin walked inside. The tension was palpable in the air. " Hello, guys." He greeted.He was greeted with silence, " I can come back if you want." He replied, reading the room. He had interrupted an important discussion. because he Cisca snapped out of her moodiness first, " Hey, you can stay." She said and shot a begrudging look to Alden whose face was stoic." Hello." Martin stared around the room as he wondered why the reception was poor," I think I should give you a minute." He snuck a glance at Alden who refused to acknowledge him.Cisca waved her hand, " Nonsense. It's fine. I'm glad you came to visit." She replied." Yeah. I came as soon as I heard." He said stiffly as he watched the monitor, her heart was beating well. " Does your hand hurt?"
"please you need to excuse us." Dr. Bart ordered immediately he entered the room, accompanied by two nurses, who set the fluid stand, and tried to take charge of the situation.Alden's heart thumped violently against his chest as he watched his mate lying on the bed. His head spun; his feet were rooted to the ground, his muscles limp as he watched Dr. Bart insert a needle into her arm.Oh my goodness, please do not allow anything to happen to her! He prayed earnestly. Dr. Bart snuck a glance at him and saw that he watched on helplessly. He felt pity and returned to his duty. " Hold her still." He instructed the nurse standing behind him. He stuck another liquid into her arm, and Cisca thrashed and jerked violently from the bed. " Hold her still." Alden snapped out of his frozen state and rushed to the bed. " What are you doing to her?!" He demanded, growling afterward." I'm saving her." Dr. Bart replied and withdrew a jelly liquid into his syringe before plunging it into her arm.
" When will you be leaving?" Stiles inquired when Alden walked in the front door.Alden ignored him and trudged upstairs. He came to freshen up, pick up some clothes, and dash back to the hospital. Cisca hadn't woken up." Aren't you going to reply me?" He shouted. Alden continued to his room, he was not in the mood for unnecessary banter. If Stiles decided to play ignorant of the latest development, it was his business. Amelia walked out of the kitchen carrying a tray." Cisca relapsed." She announcedWhat? Stiles was stupefied. What was wrong with her? " I bet you didn't know. I suggest you stay away from Alden at the moment, his anger is more fierce than a spooked rattlesnake. " She advised and set the table. Stiles watched her and wondered what her game plan was. " What are you doing?" Amelia halted and stared at him, before returning her gaze to the plates. " Setting the table." " When did this start?" She shrugged and hid her smile, " Well, you see, I thought that it would
" What the hell?" Stiles muttered when a cup of water was dumped on his head. Sleep faded from Stiles's eyes, and he blinked when he heard his mother's voice. " Get up." She said.He was annoyed at the interruption from his sleep. " Mother." He said." Get up, and sort yourself out." His mother repeated. He took a glance around the room and saw that nothing was out of place. He looked down and saw a big bulge in his trousers. Shit! He wasn't a horny teenager." What the hell happened to you?" Her voice rose slightly, as she noticed him staggering to the bathroom. " What took you so long?" Amelia asked when he came out of the bathroom." Nothing." He replied. She was rearranging what she thought was out of place. The plastic duck that was on his right was moved." Stop."He ordered and sat on the sofa." The last person I remember seeing was Amelia." " I saw her coming out of your office. You were quite busy." Alexia spat. To her dismay, Stiles cocked his head and said. " I don't rem
