The Alpha King's Little Bride   35
Edward sat up on his bed after the sleep he had been praying for for hours refused to come. He looked at Emily who laid on the floor and sighed. What was he doing?He gently got off the bed and grabbed his hat that he had placed on the bedside table beside him. He took a small glace at Emily who was snoring peacefully on the duvet. As he watched her, he could not help but ask himself again if what he was about doing was right.He walked past her towards the door but suddenly stopped after she snorted. He turned and looked at her to see if she had woken. He sighed as he heard her snore away. She had not.He placed his hands on the door knob and slowly turned it, opening it with a small click. He pulled the door open and slowly stepped outside into the dark hallway.He slowly walked towards the stairs and stopped short after he reached the top. After looking down to the ground floor and seeing that there was no one there, he ran with precision down the stairs.He reached the floor and b

Edward and Emily slept in after the awkward encounter that they both had. The next day, none of them spoke to the other, only giving each other slight nods, Edward with his mask on throughout and Emily with a frown imprinted on her face, as they walked past each other to acknowledge their presence. Edward, on one hand, was not angry at Emily but was sad and felt it was too early to speak with her at the moment. Emily on the other hand was angry at her new husband for acting that way towards her. The servants, Mr Brown excluded as he was the only one that did not find it awkward as he had already seen the whole thing coming, were surprised at the strong aura that was coming from their master and mistress. Since their new mistress came to the manor, they noticed that the relationship between their master and mistress was not one that one could write home about. Edward decided to find a way to find a way to get his mind off the reality that was happening around him. He decided to mee

"Hello," Edward heard someone say and he immediately froze to his spot. "Is anyone in here?" Edward wanted to run with the head into one of the box stalls but he knew that that would risk the head being seen the more."Who is that?" Mr Brown shouted as he ran towards the stable door after motioning for Edward to stand in place."It's Francis," the person replied and Edward could not help but grit his teeth in anger. He knew that guy would be trouble for him right from the moment he saw him. Edward took a deep breadth before he immediately ran into one of the box stalls, careful for the bloodied head not to be revealed. He paused and held his breadth as he silently prayed that the head wasn't seen."I actually want to come ask Sir Edward something, Sir," Edward heard Francis say and he immediately released the air that he had pent up inside of him the whole time. "I have some important questions for him.""I am Mr Albert Brown but you can just call me Brown," Edward heard Mr Brown rep

"You have been mumbling words in your sleep, Edward," Williams said as he stretched his hands towards his brother. "Are you sure you're not down with fever?"Edward stared at his brothers outstretched hand and sighed. He was about grabbing it when he remembered something very important. Harold's head was still laying beside him."I actually would love to stay here alone for a few minutes," Edward said as he slapped his brothers hands away. "I have been feeling unwell lately so maybe I am sick.""And laying on hay is going to make you any better?" Williams mumbled with a small chuckle. "You might not even get better if you do this to yourself." Edward rolled his eyes. Since when did his brother begin to care about his health?"Forget about me for now," he muttered, adjusting himself on the haystack so that the bloodied head would not be seen by his brother. "I actually have a lot of questions to ask you.""I am guessing some of them are concerning what Brown told you about me," William

Emily walked down the stairs and walked straight to the dining table. Her headache had stopped by her feet was beginning to hurt like hell. She removed the shoes that she had on and rubbed them against the cold floor, heaving a loud sigh of relief as the pain began to go down. She saw Hannah walk towards her and she immediately kicked her shoes under the dining table and hid her bare feet under her large dress. "Good morning, Your Grace," Hannah greeted with a small bow as she walked towards Emily. "We already have the chefs cooking up a good meal of eggs and toast but we wanted to ask if you would love to have otherwise."Emily thought about Hannah's question for some seconds before asking, "I would love to have a slice of bacon together with that. Can you guys help with that?""That will not be an issue, Your Grace," Hannah replied with a small bow before turning and heading towards the kitchen. Emily after seeing that she was now gone removed her still aching feet from under her

Emily shivered as she stared at her door. The room had suddenly become cold and she could see her breadth. Everywhere began to spin as Emily suddenly lost feeling of her whole body.She was about screaming for help when the door opened."Your Grace." Emily looked up and saw Hannah walking towards her with a smile on her face and a tray filled with a small jug and a teacup in her hands. "I brought you some tea."Hannah laid the tray on Emily's bed and began pouring her a cup. She was busy chattering about how bad she felt when Emily left the dining table and she wanted to bring tea to her to cheer her up but Emily's attention wasn't with Hannah. She was barely even listening to the words that were pouring out of the housekeeper's mouth."Were you the one calling my name?" Emily blurted out and Hannah immediately stopped talking. She turned to look at her mistress and was surprised to see that she was shaking with sweat pouring down her face. "Are you okay, Your Grace?" she asked after

Emily walked into the door, making sure that the door was left open behind her. She looked around the dust filled place but found no sign of Williams being there. It was as if he had just disappeared into thin air."Williams?" Emily called one more time to make sure that no one was in there and when she received no reply again, she turned and ran out of the room. She closed the door shut behind her and rested her back on it as she panted, holding her chest while she tried catching her breath.The day had just begun but things were already turning out to be too weird for her to handle. She could have sworn that she saw Williams enter that room. Why then was the place empty?Emily summoned courage as she took in a deep breath before opening the door again and walking in. The whole place was a little bit dark as the only light entering the room was the one coming from the corridor. The window was closed and different junks filled the place, blocking even the littlest light that would hav

Emily wasn't sure she was ready to move into her room. She wanted so much to go in and rest till her show was ready but the thought of the voices and the feeling that she was being watched, there was no way she could do it."Your Grace," Emily heard someone call her and she turned to see who it was."Williams?" she mumbled in confusion as she watched her husbands brother walk down the stairs with a small smile OK his face and a box filled with items that Emily could not identify ij his hands."Yes, Your Grace," Williams answered. He raised the small box up and said, "I am actually done with the room now. I'm planning on moving to the new house to inspect all that is being done there."Emily didn't know what to say as she was dumbfounded. There was one question running through her mind and she had no other choice but to just ask it."Did you... where are you coming out from?" she asked, her throat immediately going dry."What do you mean?" Williams asked with a small chuckle. "I'm comi

Emily raised her head from the table, feeling pains around her neck area. With her eyes still closed, she touched it slightly and groaned silently.Opening both eyes, she looked around and realized she was still in the restaurant but it was late at night. "It is already late?" she asked herself and got a reply fr the old butler who just came back from the gents. "Yes, Her Grace." he replied, walking up to her slowly. "And where is His Grace?" the Duchess asked, showing how annoyed she is through the expression on her face. "I do not think he will be..." Mr Brown had not finished talking when Emily hit the table so loud that everyone in there, turned to take a glance at what was happening. "What do you mean?! I have waited for him and yet, he is not going to make it to this place?" Emily asked angrily.The old butler did not know how to calm her down and so he just stood without uttering a sound, arms at the back, heads down.Seeing the old butler not responding, she annoyingly carri

The royal guard quietly walked into the manor which he had seen the Duke's younger brother in. Looking around, he gave a voiceless sound at what he saw. He could not help but put his hand over his head and shake it for what seemed like forever. The structure of the manor made him wonder if it was Williams that owned it or another person. He, then, looked at the floor to see if he could sight a stick for clearing the bush that prevented him from passing.On catching sight of one, he picked it immediately and used it for the purpose. Swinging it, he made way for himself into the manor. "What type of building is this?" he said as he shook his head. He stood in front of the manor in an akimbo position. Sighing, he decided to enter into the manor. Surprisingly, the door was opened wide and this made the guard stop and look back. "Is there not anyone staying here? Why does it look so quiet?" He asked himself as he held the handle of the door. Summoning courage, he entered into the buildin

"I want you to help me monitor the Duke's younger brother, Williams." Mr Brown said as he put his hands in his pocket. The statement uttered by the old butler surprised the total guard and made him open his eyes wide. "The Duke's younger brother? Why?" he asked."I will explain everything to you later on. Just make sure you check every movement he makes and steps he carries." Mr Brown said. "Oh, Okay. I will do just that." the guard replied, bowing his head slightly. They, then, moved back to the living room to join the rest. Going inside, they met the old housekeeper, the Duchess and Duke walking down the stairs. "We will get going now." the royal guards said, smiling to the old butler. "Okay." Mr Brown answered. The royal guards headed to the entrance and left. Turning to Mr Dewhurst, the old butler walked to where they were seated. "Sister Emily!" Beauty exclaimed and ran to her sister who was also running towards her direction. "Beauty!" Emily shouted, hugging her younger sist

"Was that how he got to know about black magic?" Edward asked Mr Brown who was seated near him."Yes. And he hid it from your brother." Mr Brown answered. "Do you know why?" the old butler added, facing the Duke. "No, I....." Edward, then, looked at Mr Brown intensely. The old butler looked at him as if saying "you really do not know?" The Duke looked back at the floor and suddenly tapped his lap twice."I know! Because Williams will use it for his bad purpose." he said, looking at the old butler. "Exactly, His Grace." Mr Brown said, nodding his head. "So if he had the opportunity without my father's help, he would use it against everyone right?" Edward asked. "Yes and also use it against the person that denied him that opportunity." the old butler concluded. "That would mean death....right?" the Duke asked, slowly looking at the ceiling and immediately to the old butler. "Yes." Mr Brown replied. At this point, Mr Brown needed the Duke to get the point he wanted to prove to him. "H

The Duke and Mr Brown got to the manor in no time. This was because they whipped the horses to run faster. Now that they had a proper clue of what they wanted to deal with, they individually made up their minds to end the whole situation."Finally, we are here." Mr Brown muttered as he came down from the horse. He called the second stable boy."Yes sir." the boy answered. "I need you to call the royal guards for me. Tell them it is very urgent." the old butler said, as he rubbed the horse's back. "Okay sir." the boy replied, running as fast as his legs could carry him."Have you told him what to do?" the Duke asked, approaching the barn. "Yes, His Grace." Mr Brown responded. "Good." Edward said, looking into the woods."What do we need to do now?" the old butler asked. "We just need to find the killer since we are this close." Edward replied. "But first, there is something I need to show you. Follow me." the Duke added, going out of the barn and heading to the manor. "Okay His Grace."

"If I were in his shoes, I would have dealt with the Duke severely. But I would not let it be obvious that I am the one carrying out the acts. It would just be like an insect, eating up the vegetable from within." Hannah said firmly. Emily looked at her, opened her mouth and waved one of her fingers in the air as if to say something. Hannah thought she had offended the Duchess and immediately knelt to beg her. "I am so sorry Her Gra...." She was about finishing the statement when Emily interrupted her."No no, that was not what I meant. Please rise." Emily said as she assisted the housekeeper to stand by using both of her hands. She held her shoulders tight and said "Look Hannah, you have really helped me to see what I needed. I can not walk on this journey alone." the Duchess added."I need your help. I would explain everything to you." Emily said as she quickly dragged the housekeeper by her hand and ran as fast as she could. "Her Grace, I do not seem to understand what is going..

"Wow! The sky looks radiating, making it difficult to take my eyes off it." Emily said, swinging her hands sideways and making claps. It had been a while she felt genuinely happy and refreshing. With all that had been happening, she had been in her space, scared to come out. But was helped by her best friend's comfort and definitely, her husband, the Duke. Hannah, who always stayed behind her, followed her slowly. As the housekeeper walked having both of her hands in front of her, with her fingers interlocked, she observed the Duchess. "She looks peaceful and free. I think she is already getting comfortable in here." Hannah thought. "Hannah." Emily called. "Yes ma" the housekeeper answered, moving to her side. "How long have you been here?" the Duchess asked. "For thirteen years, Her Grace." Hannah said as she bowed slightly. "You have actually stayed here for long." Emily added, facing her. The housekeeper responded with a nod."Which means you know a lot about the Duke and his fa

Emily woke to the singing of the birds near her window. She turned slightly to the opening that made the sun rays shine brightly into the room. The light from the beautiful day's gift made her cover her face with her right hand. "Urgghh, it is too bright!" She exclaimed.As she was about sitting upright, a hand out of nowhere put down the drape."Why would the sun ever think of hurting you?" The voice said. She turned immediately and was about jumping up from the bed when she saw Edward.On seeing him, she sighed and relaxed back on the bed."Were you that scared?" Edward said, sitting near were she was lying and rubbing her forehead. She mumbled something he did not hear. "Good morning my Queen. I hope you are better now?" Edward continued. "Good morning His Grace." She replied, sitting up again. Looking at him, she asked "How did you know I was not okay and where is Victoria?""Victoria is carrying out her duties in the kitchen. She reported to me this morning about your welfare. S

The Duke followed Mr Brown to the barn. It was already late at night and so they took a wooden lamp along with them. Mr Brown got to the barn and signaled for them to sit. Edward obeyed and sat. Despite the fact that Mr Brown worked under him, he still showed respect to the old man. He had been working for his father before he kicked the bucket. He had also been taking care of he and his junior brother, William ever since they were little. With several sacrifices, the old butler had taken his time to train them well but William chose the wrong part to follow.Thinking of all the good and bad times they have had together, it made Edward love the old butler even when he gives certain attitudes."Mr Brown, what is the matter?" Edward asked as he sat slowly on the wooden box that was used by the stable boy. "Your Grace, I am sorry for disturbing you after meal. I just needed to relay some essential information to you." the old butler replied, looking at the Duke. While saying this, he al
