Chapter 180: A Bargaining Chip

last update Last Updated: 2023-08-23 21:51:10

Zira’s POV

I shook my head hurriedly as I was worried that Ronan would be able to tell that something was going on with me.

“I’m just tired, and I can’t stop myself from thinking about what happened. I keep wondering what would have happened if you hadn’t been expecting it.”

It was a bit of truth mixed in with a lie.

But, other than me, Miles was all that Ronan had, and I didn’t want to make him lose a confidant and friend just because of something that Liam, a traitor, said.

Also, I was still trying to figure out Liam’s motive. Was it so that he could sow discord or was he simply saying the truth?

Eventually, with Ronan’s arms wrapped around me and the familiar environment, I fell into the arms of sleep.

When I woke up, Ronan was out of bed, and I could guess that he had gone to morning court with only a few hours of sleep.

My heart aches silently for him, but I still get out of bed and wear a simple dress.

“Your Majesty,” Julia and Sophie greeted as I stepped out of the room.

    Zira’s POVI can’t help but repeatedly think about what Joan had said after she left.Something about her made me feel like she was a lot different from what Laura had described.I don’t reply to her and allow her to leave.Once she leaves, Sophie returns and plops down on the seat across from me.“That Lady Susan is not a good person. She grumbled all the way back without caring that I was your handmaid,” she complained, and I chuckled, my heart warming at her pouting face.“She probably thinks that we are like the others, not having real affection for our mistress,” Laura said as she settled in the second seat.“How was the trip, I heard some rumours about you being attacked,” Laura leaned forward and asked me, her eyes shining with curiosity.“I think there was an attack, but I was asleep. When I woke up, things had already died down, and Ronan was there to comfort me.”“Wow!” “Is it possible that you guys crossed paths with some other kingdom while you were there? Or was it the h

    Zira’s POVMy hands stilled as I heard his words.Northern regions?“What’s happening there?” “The death toll has climbed up to a staggering number, and if I keep sending people and not going, it would start to seem like I don’t care about the people there.” “But you do, and anyone that knows you and cares about you would definitely know this.” “The council members don’t think so. They believe that it’s only when I go that I can know what’s happening there for certain.”Ronan’s eyes fell, and a sigh fell off his lips.I leaned in, cleaning his arms and making sure that the lather got to every part of his body.“I think that you are overthinking things. It’s normal for a king to handle things behind the scenes while other people can handle things at the forefront.” The idea of travelling down to the northern sides wasn’t so bad. But it was a little too close.“How soon?” I asked, my heart thumping wildly as I waited for his reply.“Right after morning court tomorrow morning.” My h

    Zira’s POVRegardless of what anyone had tried, Ronan had remained firm in his decision to leave to the northern region.Jamie and Martha had been helpful as they had come early this morning and did their very best to convince him about staying for a while.Like me, Jamie could tell that he was greatly exhausted from the running around and wanted him to take a month’s break.Unfortunately, Ronan was very headstrong about his decision to leave.A part of me was tempted to ask Martha to knock him out for a week or two. But, I also knew that it would break the trust that we both had in each other.“You guys don’t have to worry, Miles would be going with me and would be able to look after me.”My heart sank as from this new information. On a normal day, knowing that Miles was leaving with him would have made me happy, and feel a lot more relieved.But right now? It only made things worse.“You should leave him behind to handle matters, Laura can leave with you or you can take Jamie along.

    Keith’s POV“Have you heard from Lucan?” Antoine asked as he leaned back in his seat.I scoffed as I remembered my brother. “He’s probably left the northern regions by now. And if he decides to stay behind and watch the show, he can forget about coming out alive.”It was not like I cared about Lucan in any way; if anything bad happened to him, it would only make things easier for me. After all, even though I did most of the thinking, I was only behind the scenes, and most court officials and council members all stood behind Lucan. If Ronan and Lucan were out of the picture, I would only have to think about getting Antoine out of the picture.“Do you think that Ronan would go? He should be able to see that this is a trap, right?” Antoine asked, pulling me out of my thoughts.“I don’t think so.” “Ronan likes to think outside the box, and he would expect that we would throw an attack similar to what happened back then.” Unlike him, we were ruthless enough to use the people's lives a

    Zira’s POVMy palms were damp from sweat. Every time I walked into this room in the past, I had walked into it knowing that my mate and husband were waiting at the highest seat. On some other days, we had even entered together.But today, I had Laura beside me and Sam—one of Ronan’s trusted aides.Ronan had been gone for only one day, but every second felt like an hour without him here. “Your Majesty, they are waiting for you inside,” Sam reminded me from the side, and I nodded twice.I took a deep breath and reminded myself that nothing would happen.Just like Ronan said, I was in control here.My wolf was in control.“Let’s go.”I don’t miss Laura's smile as I say this and the wide double doors open.“Welcome, Her Majesty the Queen!” The eunuchs announced at the top of their voices.Although they are a lot less enthusiastic than when it is Ronan, they stand up and give me a bow.I walked to the high throne seat, and my heart lurched in my chest as I saw Ronan’s empty seat.

    Zira’s POVChills rushed through my spine from Antoine’s subtle threat. If this was any normal day, I would have acted like I didn’t care because I trusted Ronan.I trusted that he was more than capable of handling them. But this time around, regardless of how I looked at it, I couldn’t help but feel like he had walked into a trap all by himself.I also hoped that maybe there was something that Ronan knew that he wasn’t telling me.“Let’s go inside.” Antoine smiled, his eyes glimmering with pride at how easily he had made me change my mind.After heading inside, I had Laura send him to the study while I went to change into something that was a lot more comfortable.“Do you want any to drink or eat?” I asked casually, and I hoped that he had enough tact to know that I didn’t actually have any intention of hosting him well.“You can have them serve some strawberry cakes and a glass of milk,” Antoine said with his gaze fixed on me.I squirmed uncomfortably as I looked at Laura. “I’ll

    Ronan’s POV“I’ll call the teams to spread out once it’s dark out. Antoine and Keith might want to make their move by then.” Miles said as he glanced at the rearview mirror.I nodded, agreeing with the idea. However, there was also a part of me that knew that Keith would not pull the same stunt on me anymore.He was very calculative, and I knew that he would know that I had dealt with Liam.It was also one of the major reasons why I had decided to take this group of disloyal officials along with me.Firstly, with them around, Keith wouldn’t have to worry about bribing or winning over one of my men since they would be able to provide Keith with information regarding our trip. Then, the most important reason for taking them with me was because I didn’t want them making trouble for Zira in the two weeks that I would be gone.“You should get some rest. You have barely rested since you left for Alva,” Miles said.Early into the journey, Miles had suggested we take turns driving so that it

    Ronan’s POVMiles’s face had a twisted smile that had me doubting everything that I had known about him. “Who are you?” I asked one more time, and Miles cackled in laughter. “Your brother.” “I’m the brother that your father was so eager to deny. So eager to push away that he had someone change the kids without my mother knowing…” Miles said, and beneath his twisted expression, I could see a crack that exposed just how painful that sentence was.“Did you think that your father really didn’t touch your mother’s handmaid? That she was only trying to make your father take responsibility for a child he knew nothing about?” My heart sank with every question he asked. From his expression, I could already tell what the answers were.My father was guilty of every accusation. “Just to protect your mother and you, he ruined the lives of two kids by rejecting one and making one live a fake life. Antoine grew up thinking that he was royalty. That he had that blood running through his veins

I want...I want to spend the rest of my life with you!" I told her. Zira smiled. She teared up a little but then laughed and shook her head. "I. I love you too, Ronan, more than you can ever imagine. I love you so much."My heart swelled. I had never felt this happy in my entire life. "You've just made me the happiest man in this life."Zira laughed, then leaned closer to me, staring at me straight in the eye and then at my lips. "Do you want a kid?" She asked with a sensual whisper.I smiled, but I was stunned by her words. "What?""A boy or a girl?" Zira whispered, biting down her lower lips as I tightened my grip on her waist."Both?" I asked, raising a brow."You sure?" Zira asked."Four?" I asked with wide eyes, and Zira burst into laughter."Are you being serious right now?" She asked."Well, you asked first, so yes," I

I said to Keith. Keith sneered at me. "Don't think that you won because you are the strongest Ronan! You only won because you hated our father and didn't let him affect your life!"Keith sneered at me."Yes! It's only because you stayed away from him! Otherwise, you would have ended up like this! You are no different from us!" Lucan told me. I shook my head at their reasoning. "You are right. I hated our father. And wanted nothing to do with him. But you see, I am not here just because I stayed away from me. I am here because I strived hard not to be like him. I hated that man and wanted nothing to do with him, and I made sure to make changes in my life. The rest of you just decided to take the wrong path! You deserve this!"

    RONAN’s POVI walked over to Miles, preparing to fight with him. I hated it when he said that I was not fit to be the Alpha and I wanted to prove to him and everyone else that it was a lie. "You don't have to do this, Ronan! He is just trying to rile you up on purpose! Don't fall for his trap! Miles already lost, but he doesn't want to admit that he has lost!" Zira called out to me. I knew that this could be a trap, but I am past the stage of caring at this point. I need to put him in his place. It was a long and hard fight between the both of us, and at some point, I thought that I was going to lose, but then I managed to knock Miles out. He tried to get him, but I pinned him to the ground, breaking one of his legs and then ending the fight with me as the winner. Miles glared hatefully at me, probably because he knew that he had lost. I am now the winner, and there is just nothing that he can do about that. I leaned in closer to him and whispered, "Do you now believe that I am

    ZIRA’s POVMiles glared at Ronan, and I could tell that he was shocked and upset to see that Ronan was back. I was feeling a whole lot of emotions watching Ronan. I wanted to jump into his arms and hug him, I wanted to yell to everyone that doubted me that I wasn't wrong. I said that he was alive, and he really did come back alive. But I did not have the time to do any of this. Right now, there's a war in front of us. A war that we were starting to lose.A guard tried to attack me from behind, but I immediately turned and kicked him away from me. There were tears in my eyes as I fought out with the guard. I was happy and sad at the same time, and the tears just kept flowing. "Ronan, you should have just died! Everything was going perfectly fine! We had a good thing going on! Why did you have to come back?!" Miles yelled at Ronan. Ronan smirked as he approached him. "A good thing? Miles, you are just a thief who wants what doesn't belong to you. You were never supposed to sit on th

    ZIRA’s POVMartha shook her head. "I didn't see it myself because I was too scared of going in," she said. "I think that we should give it a try, Kyle. We can never know," Peter said. Kyle sighed. "Fine. We are going to check. I just hope that it's there" Kyle said and the both of them left together."I just hope that they find it. We will be able to defeat Miles then," I said. Mom glared at me. "Can't you just leave this alone? Do you have to go this far?" She asked me. I nodded my head. "I have to go this far, Mom. I just can't ignore it. I can't ignore what he's done! He's controlling the Entire Kingdom! Everything in this Kingdom will be destroyed in just two years if we don't stop Miles now!" I said. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself. "Mom, I trust that Kyle and Peter are going to find the spell. The spell is going to be broken soon, and there's going to be a war. I am not going to walk away from it. I just need to know if the both of you are going to help me!" I

    ZIRA’s POVA spell that made it impossible for everyone to either shift or use their abilities! I laughed to myself. If Miles thought that this was going to stop me, then he had better think again. The good thing was, I knew this spell, and I knew how to break it. But first, I have to find my cousins and tell them about it. They need to know what is going on! .....I entered Maria's room and saw my mom pacing around the room. She glared at me as soon as I walked in. "I almost thought that you weren't going to come back! Why can't you just listen to me? No matter what I tell you, you have already told yourself that you're not going to listen no matter what! What is wrong with you?" She asked me. I wasn't in the mood to listen to her scoldings. "Do you know where Kyle and Peter are right now? I need to tell them something!" I said. I haven't seen him since they said they were going to take care of Antoine on their own. "Are you even listening to me? Miles could find you, and then

"Where do you think you're going, Zira? What did I tell you about staying away from Miles? Don't you listen to anything that I say at all?" She asked me. I pretended not to hear anything that she said and walked out. I know that I will have to see Miles and confront him myself at some point. I just can't keep running away from it. I have to face it. .....I was standing facing the palace's garden when I felt someone walking up to me. My heart was beating fast against my chest. I already knew who it was without turning back. It was as if I was waiting for this moment. "Who are you?" He asked. I turned to face Miles with a big smile on my face. "Are you surprised to see me?" I asked him. If my mom or Maria could see me right now, they are going to say that I am looking for death, but I know that I just can't ignore

    ZIRA’s POVI turned to face my mom and frowned. No matter what they tell me, I am not going to believe that Ronan is dead. I know that he's not dead because I can still feel the mate bond between us. If I could not feel the pull, then I'd accept that he is indeed dead, but as for now, I can still feel as if he's alive, so there's no way that I am going to accept what they are telling me. "Are you even listening to me right now?! Zira! You have to leave! Miles is the one in charge now! He's not going to let you leave if he finds out that you are still alive! Are you sure that you want to take that chance?" My mother asked me. "Mom, I already told you. I am not going to leave. I have to at least wait for the full moon festival," I said. "Why do you have to wait for the full moon festival....don't tell me that you think he is still alive?! Zira! You need to stop being delusional! He's no longer alive! They killed him! Ronan is not coming back! I know that this is a lot for you to tak

My mother and I decided to go back to the palace to find out what had happened while we were away. Immediately we entered the palace, we went to look for Martha. She huffed me immediately when she saw me. "Zira! I thought I had lost you! I thought that I would never see you again! Thank you so much for coming back! Thank you!" She said to me, I hugged her back because I was happy to see her. "I thought that Antoine had won, but my mother and cousins showed up. I am just happy to be back!" I said excitedly. "I am just happy that you came back! The Kingdom...the Kingdom is not what it was when Ronan was alive. Everything.... everything has changed!" Martha said. "What has changed? I could feel as if the Kingdom was in trouble when I walked in. Everything was just quiet!" I said. Martha nodded her head. "Yes.. that is because it has changed. M
