‘My baby…’ Kaliyah woke up with a faint pain in her stomach. Without even realizing it, her hand was clutching on her tummy. It’s as if, she was protecting it. “What happened?” she thought to herself as she looked around. It was dark but not dark enough that she could not see the silhouette of things around her. She was in her room. But what caught her attention was the shadow of a man sitting with his head down beside her bed. He was holding her hand and she could feel his hot breath in it. Why was her hand wet by the way? Is he… “Are you exchanging me for your kingdom’s peace?” she uttered those words in a calm tone. Yet, anyone could sense the condemnation and blame in her voice. Ruan lifted his face to look at her. the moment their eyes met, Kaliyah felt her heart racing. She didn’t know what to feel. She hated him for his betrayal. She felt sad for what they ended up to. yet, she misses him so much that it drives her into madness. “If I don
It broke her heart. Because again, she was leaving the place she once called home. Heart-broken. Abandoned. Just like the last time, she was leaving the man she loved. Yet, this time it was different. She was stronger. Braver. She wasn’t the same Kaliyah who ran away because of her weakness. Now. She had changed. Still, that didn’t stop her heart from being shattered in pieces as she looked at Ruan. Unlike the night before, his dark eyes held no emotion as he looked at her from the terrace. Beside him was Elena. That woman. She snaked her arms on his waist, sticking her body to him. she’s even brushing her proud breast on his arms that it was so hard for Kaliyah to look at. And why isn’t he even pushing her away? Gritting her teeth, Kaliyah turn her back and mounted on her horse. “My Luna. Let me help you.” Surprised, Kaliyah glanced at her side where Kevin appeared. “Kevin? What are you doing here?” “I am your guard, my Luna
She wants to reach him. To touch his face… To caress his skin… To wrap her arms around him and refuse to let go… To just stare in those alluring deep set of raven eyes… Forever… But some things are not just meant to stay forever. Just like her and Ruan’s love… “You’re awake?” Without even realizing it, Kaliyah had been staring at the ceiling for quite some time. She didn’t even realize that she had woken up. But that voice… Slowly. she diverted her eyes to the person sitting beside her bed. Her heart raced. Not because of love or excitement of seeing him again. But the fact that his presence indicated that she really had lost Ruan. “Fenris…” Fenris smirked and his always icy cold blue eyes curled with amusement. “You never changed, Acalia. In the entire kingdom, no one dared to address me other than ‘Alpha’ or ‘Your Majesty’.” “You are wrong. I changed a lot, Fenris. Besides, there’s also one person who called you someth
“Don’t try to push yourself too much, Lady Acalia.” From the tall bushes, Derian appeared. “It will hurt the baby.” “Y-You knew?!” Kaliyah gasped, instinctively wrapping her arms as a shield around her stomach. Derian ignored her, kneeling down and grabbing her by the wrist. “Don’t hurt-” “Stop moving.” She halted, realizing what he was actually doing. He’s checking her pulse. As he listened to her pulse, Derian confirmed what’s on her mind, “yes. I knew that you’re pregnant since that incident in the forest along our way here. You were badly wounded back then and I was the only one who knew medicine. That’s how I discovered the truth.” Kaliyah looked away, guilt written on her face. “Then… did you tell it to Fenris?” “If I told him about this matter, that child inside your womb won’t be alive up until now. I won’t even be sure if he’ll let you live for betraying him.” Blood was drained from her face as if she had seen a ghost. Her insides
“Luna! Luna! Please let us carry that for you. Are you going to pick flowers for his majesty again?” The servant, Julie, hurriedly grabbed the basket from her. She gave her no chance to protest that she just let her follower her. “Yes. I would like to send him roses this time. Do you think he will like it?” Kaliyah asked as she looked at Julie. The young servant smiled with blushing cheeks. She seemed shy. “His majesty always love everything you send him, my luna! But, you always sends him flowers everyday. Aren’t you tired of it?” Kaliyah just smiled slightly, looking away. “No. I will do this everyday if needed be.” Julie shrieked in happiness, listening to jer words. “Luna. You and his majesty love each other so much! Now. I want to get marry fast!” Kaliyah just laughed at the innocence of the young girl. ‘In love with each other, huh?’ she laughed at such words. As they reached the garden, she carefully choose the most beautiful and freshest rose
“Everyone. Get out in an instant! NOW!” Frightened by his furious tone and heavy aura, everyone inside the hall scurried out. They ran for their lives, not wanting to suffer from their Alpha’s wrath. Even Kaliyah trembled in fear as she looked at Fenris’s face. He had this murderous aura that was crushing the breath out of her chest. But she wasn’t scared for her life. She feared more of what he was about to do to her children. “Fenris! NO!” despite her dreadfully weak and aching body, she dragged herself out of the bed. She kneeled on his feet, hugging his legs to stop him from approaching her children. “Please… Spare them. They’re innocent! It was I who fooled you. Don’t kill them!” The twins she just birthed started crying, as if sensing their mother was in agony too. And they could feel her pain. “Innocent?! How can they be innocent when they were his children, Kaliyah!? I treated you with care since you came back. I gave you everything! But you
“Lady Kaliyah had cut her bond of mate with you and choose the Dark Alpha, Ruan, as her mate among you two.” “But why does she even had two mates to begin with?” Fenris asked, intently listening to the Elder’s explanation. “It was the Moon Goddess’s choice, your majesty. And to her reason, we are out of place to pry. But because Lady Kaliyah decided to break the bond between you too, it goes against the law of our nature. Consequently, the bond of mates between you two was transferred to her daughter. This is why this young child here, became your mate.” Fenris’s dazzling cold blue eyes darted to the baby who was sleeping in his arms. Luna had kept crying ever since Kaliyah left. Every palace servant, guard, and official he called to make her silent was out of idea on how to make her stop crying. They were all about to give up. Yet, surprisingly, when he carried her in his arms, she stopped crying of all a sudden. “What a naughty little thing,” he muttere
Ruan felt every inch of his body screaming in pain. Blood stained his skin which he didn’t know whether it belonged to him, his enemy or even his comrades. For several months, he had tried defending the land his father had entrusted him. Yet, this time, the overwhelming size of the Dorumns were too hard to drive away. Thirsty, he gulped but even in his mouth, he could tatse the iron-taste of dried blood and dust. The wind blew cold against his face, and he looked up in the skies. “Father. I’ve already done my best. Can I give up now?” he whispered along the whistke of the wind. Looking at the cloudy skies, perhaps he was delirious. Because all he could see now was Kaliyah’s beautiful face. Her sweet smile. Her beautiful black curls. Her white glowing skin. And most especially, her lilac eyes that was both innocent and alluring. She was enchanting. Looking at her face bring comfort and peace to him. Perhaps dying like this was the best, right? He

“Kevin. Have you seen her?” “Her? Who?” Kaliyah smiled, pausing to glance at Kevin who was walking behind her. “You know who I was pertaining about.” “Hmm…” He nodded unwillingly. “How is she? Is she as beautiful as they say?” This time, it was Kevin who stopped walking and looked at her face longer than he usually does. It would have made her uncomfortable that a man was scrutinizing her face so intently. “Not as beautiful as you, my Luna.” That was his answer which only made Kaliyah smile in bitterness. “then, she’s really a beautiful woman. No wonder Ruan took her with him.” “Luna! That isn’t tr-” “You don’t need to say anything, Kevin. I know. We’re already near the hall. Hurry up.” “Luna…” As Kevin watched her back ahead of him, he couldn’t help but remember the gossip he heard this morning. If that is true, then, he would rather betray his own kingdom just to protect her.*** “Lady Kaliyah enters the hall!” As
