Alden watched Nicky leave the room, and the king sighed on reminiscing the day he met Sarah; his first wife. It was a warm Saturday and she was just a young woman at that time. Immediately he saw her, he knew she would be his.
Alden reminded him of her a lot. It was a pity that she died so quick.
Alden unaware of his thought process, called him.again, snapping the king out of his thoughts.
" Yes?" He replied.
" How are you really feeling?" Alden inquired. He did not beloved the answer he gave when Nicky was around. He understood that he might want to conceal his pain from his wife.
" I still feel weak." He said, and Alden nodded. _I thought as much._
" I will try to see if the healer can come earlier." Alden said, after all the medications, he was still sick. It was a great cause for concern.

"Oh my god! Oh my god!" Nicky screamed and began to hyper ventilate when she heard the news. She locked eyes with Martin whose head was bowed when he heard it.

He heard another wailing arise and looked at Queen Alexia. He wondered if she could kill her husband. For what reason? He wondered. For all he knew, the king was just in his treatment.

Melissa stared at both friends, before finally settling her gaze on Cisca, who stared right back at her without breaking a stare. If Melissa noticed anything, she didn't say. " Aren't you supposed to be working? Why then are you here gossiping about pack matters?" She turned to Reagan, giving her an accusing look.Reagan glared right back with matching intensity." The same reason you are here, to check on my friend." Reagan commented dryly. It was obvious that they were gisting from the loud laughter coming out of the room earlier, but she didn't want Melissa to intimidate them. " Right, and you were laughing at the top of your lungs waking the entire maids. Who the hell do you really think you are?" She asked. Hadn't they heard of the king's death? Now Alden was nothing in the pack so Cisca better cooperate. He had no power to back her up. Cisca sighed, Melissa was a spoil sport." What do we have to do this morning? We don't have to fight."

" Hey, did Queen Alexia come here?" Cisca asked Reagan. Reagan raised her brows at the panic mode of Cisca. " No, why? Did you see her?" " She came to Alden's room. He stopped her from entering. I guess, she knew I was in there. I thought she came here." She replied." Uh, no. She didn't. She has better things to do than to look for you." " What a way to make me feel important." Cisca replied sarcastically as she collected a cleaning rag from Reagan who looked so exhausted. Reagan laughed at her friend's hurt expression." She has a meeting with the council. I overheard some guards talking about it." " Isn't Stiles supposed to address them? Why she?" Reagan shrugged, she didn't know either, anyway it was their business." I don't know." " Thank you so much for today. You've done a lot." She replied, and Reagan waved her off. " What are friends for?" " To help each other when the other is down." Reagan rolled her eyes." it was a rhetoric." Cisca laughed, " I know, I just wante

Amelia closed her eyes at his outburst and wondered what triggered this. But it was new to her. Stiles always found an excuse to lash out on her. She was grateful that he had not put his hands on her, at least not yet. She could ruin his reputation for good now if he tried nonsense with her.Stiles turned to Amelia, " Why are you standing there?" He complained. Amelia's eyes flew open, " I'm sorry" She replied and attempted to rush out of the room. " Aren't you going to give me my conjugal rights?" Stiles asked. Amelia grimaced, she wanted nothing ti do with Stiles sexually and she hoped that he would never mind her in that regard." Umm..." " I don't have a right?" Stiles questioned mockingly. Amelia didn't know what to say. At least he was asking today, other times he had his forcefully. She didn't want to get Stiles angry. " You do, I mean__ I have just been a little tired lately."

Her glare stopped everyone from talking or asking her any questions because they knew that she was grieving however Nicky had other agendas behind that solemn look."Mom, where are you coming from?" Martin asked his motherNicki turned around in surprise" Do you want to give me a heart attack?" she replied instead. She wasn't expecting to see him here. Unknown to her, Martin saw a shadow cross the tree from her room, and he instinctively knew that it was his mom. The question was why was she sneaking in like a thief? " Where are you coming from, mom?" He repeated. She was deflecting from the real situation at hand. " Why don't we discuss this in my room?" She suggested. This place was too open for such conversations. She was also yet to change into her queenly outfit. " Okay." Martin replied and followed her upstairs. Myriad of thoughts flashed into his mind as they walked together. Was she having an affair? All the other reason

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."

Three weeks later, " Whew! I have missed this place." Cisca muttered when she arrived at the pack house.Alden chuckled as they walked upstairs together with Shawn in his arms. " I have to quickly attend to some letters, I'll be back in some minutes." He told her after placing Shawn in his cot. The calm baby watched his father who poked kisses at him. Cisca looked up, " We'll be fine, I am feeling sleepy." She said."Okay." He replied and returned to his office. A log of files waited for him and he had to attend to each of them one after the other. One was from Alpha Jared, and he stared at the file skeptically. How was he sure that this was truly from him? He heard a knock on the door. " Come in " He replied with a gruff voice. " I'm sorry for barging in." Elder Drew apologized. A maid had told him that Alden said he didn't want disturbance. Alden looked up, " It's fine, you can come in." He said and Elder Drew sat down.

" How is she doing?" Alden asked a nurse when she came out of the room. It was getting to an hour and she had not heard a baby's sound. His heart almost left his chest. He hoped nothing happened to her. " Fine, please just relax." She said and walked briskly to god knows where. Alden paced outside the door for a long time. He looked at his watch, it was another thirty minutes, and he barged into the room. " You can't be here." A nurse protested and he shot her a withering glare which made her retreat in surrender. Alden looked at Cisca who was sweating profusely on the bed as she writhed in pain. " Dr. Bart, what is happening?" He asked. " She's pushing." He replied and turned to Cisca, " Push!" Cisca tried all her might to push but nothing was coming out, " I can't." She cried. Exhaustion was written all over her.Alden was at her side at the instant, he held her hand, " You can, baby, you can." He soothed.Cisca began to cry, " I can't. I don't want this baby to die." Alden

The first thing Alden put in place was the detachment from any financial treaty between his pack and others. This required him to take his time to make strategic plans about how to generate a sustainable source of income." Hello, babe." Cisca knocked on his office door." Come in." He replied.Cisca pushed the door open and walked in with a tray. She sighed at the sight of files scattered about his desk. "Do you ever get rest?" She inquired. Alden chuckled. "I believe I would soon. I just need to put things in place." He said and rose to collect the tray from her."" Are you sure?" She asked. He didn't look like he was going to stop soon He nodded, " Of course I will. I am having conversations with a few Alphas, but we are yet to conclude." He said. " Alright." " Thanks for the cookies. But I told you to rest. We have maids." He scolded her gently." Okay." She replied. It wasn't stressful for her. In fact, she wanted to stretch her leg more. " Hmm, I don't think you will stop.

A week later, Cisca decided to go for a stroll in the garden. Boredom had gotten the best of her. If she spent another minute in that house, she wasn't sure of what could happen.What a sunny day, she thought as she reminisced on the recent incidents. It was very painful because she had lost very important people in her lives. First, it was Reagan, now Martin.A hand suddenly closed over her eyes and she screamed. A light familiar chuckle calmed her nerves. " What the hell?" She asked and turned to see the culprit. Alden stood before her with his hands stuck deep in his pockets. " Hello, love." Cisca burst into tears, and Alden panicked. " What is it?" "These are tears of joy." She sniffled and hugged him and sniffed his scent. She was so happy to see him. How did she not notice his scent? "I'm sorry, I should have returned much earlier. I was tidying up some things." He apologized. Cisca wiped her tears with the tip of her cloth. " It's fine. I'm just happy that you are here."

The man managed to escape, and Martin carried Amelia to the house. Cisca was waiting at the foot of the stairs and her mouth fell open when she saw an injured Amelia." What happened to her?" she asked as Martin called for other guards at the border. It was almost three a.m. before the pack house was stabilized. Alexia was baffled by what was happening. She locked herself in her room. She saw the intruder that came into the house through the window. Cisca paced around as Dr. Bart worked on Amelia. Her bleeding finally stopped and she slept off. " How did he manage to break into the house with this amount of security?" Alexia queried the next day. " We don't know, your highness. We chased him to the border, but he was able to cross it before we got it." A guard said.Alexia crossed her arms. " We will know the truth in the morning." She said. She could bet that this was targeted at her. This was what she could do." You can all leave. We'll speak about this in the morning." Martin d

Dr. Bart stood amid the office with all the elders in the room and his notepad in hand. " The autopsy took longer than we anticipated." "What have you discovered?" Martin asked. Dr. Bart looked at each of them and wondered and saw the tension on their faces, " Poison was discovered in his system. It was in his system for five months. It was wolfsbane." He said. Alexia rose, she faced Nicky, "I knew it, you killed my son." She said. Everyone turned towards Nicky, and Nicky rose to her feet. " This is ridiculous." She said, " I will not allow your stupidity to rub off on me." She said.Alexia looked at Nicky, " I want an investigation to go on." She said. "I want to find out who killed my son. When I get to the root cause of this issue, I promise that I will not spare the person." She said." How do you intend to do this?" Martin replied. Alexia smirked, she already had a plan." We will visit a seer. She will tell us who killed him." She responded. Nicky's heart skipped a bit at

The elders can around " I want an autopsy to be conducted for him." Queen Alexia ordered and the elders looked at her. " He was murdered." She explained she needed to find his murderer. The elders exchange glances between themselves. " Okay, we will inform the doctor." Elder Drew said. Martin patted her back gently as she sobbed after they left. " Everything will be fine. They'll get to the root of the matter." He assured her. He stared at her with pity-filled eyes. Alexia was unable to eat for days and she began to lose shape. " It's so sad. I know who did this." She said. Martin's hand stopped moving as he turned to look at her. " Who?" Why didn't she say anything? Moreover, didn't she also kill the king?" I suspect it was poison. Someone in this house did it." Alexia replied flippantly. Intrigued by the

Between Cisca's frequent visits and cheering Stiles up, Cisca became a bit ill. She didn't play with her health this time as she visited the doctor immediately. Dr. Bart couldn't just stop her from staying with Stiles because he was the king, but he feared that she could catch his sickness. " You are running on low fuel." He said. " I thought that I told you not to stress yourself anymore?" He asked. "Yes, you did." Then he lowered his voice and listened to see if anyone was passing by. " Why are you staying with Stiles? You need rest." He scolded her. If Stiles was that useful, why was she mandated to stay with him? "I know, you said that it wasn't contagious right?" Dr. Bart nodded and watched her, " Yes, that doesn't mean that you should endanger your life because of whatever. I'm sure you are doing this out of pity which is good but very dangerous to your health. I don't want you to lose this baby." He said. "Alden will have my head if anything happens to you." He added.
