The Warrior’s Bride
Queen Habiba looked at the maiden she was talking to. The little maiden had just been hired in the palace and she had requested her presence. She wanted to see what the girl was capable of.
“What is your name?” Queen Habiba asked the young girl.
“Samirah,” Samirah replied, looking into the Queen’s eyes. Her eyes held no emotion as she eyed Samirah. This woman looked very beautiful. She was dressed in the most expensive material from what Samirah could see, but what else would she expect from a Queen of her status.
“You are very lucky to be my handmaiden. If you are good enough, you will enjoy a lot of luxuries. Are you ready fo
The Warrior’s Bride Fareeda opened her eyes as a moan left her lips. She was alone in a small room that were smelled very unfamiliar. She felt her stomach turn before she heaved into a bowl beside the makeshift bed she was on. “She has woken, your highness,” An unknown emasculine voice said from outside the room. Immediately, someone entered and paused in their tracks staring at her. Fareeda held onto her belly unknowingly as a she looked at this man. He looked young and of high status with the clothes he was donned. “I don’t belong here,” Fareeda said after the long silence. &nb
The Warrior's Bride“King Aladdin did not go against the treaty. I assure you. He is as surprised as you were,” Fareeda said looking at the Prince Abu. Just then, a maiden brought in a meal for her and she could not control the growl from her belly. She was really hungry. She didn’t know if it was safe for her to eat here. “Enjoy your meal,” Prince Abu said about to leave when she grabbed his hand. “I’m sorry but please listen to me,” Fareeda started releasing his hand immediately. “I swear on my life, Wallah, the King is not responsible. Please let’s stop the bloodshed. A lot of lives have already been lost,”Fareeda said with tears in her ey
The Warrior’s Bride “My love I am fine now. I have gained my strength. I have stayed in the room ever since we returned. I need to go outside,” Fareeda murmured to Alexander hugging him from behind. He had just come out from the washroom after bathing himself. He just returned from the Abdul-azeez tribe. The Assan and Abdul-azeez tribe were now friendly neighbors. They were helping rebuild and some of the men now trained with them. Fareeda stared at his bare chest when he turned to face her before she looked into his eyes. A frown made its way to her face even before he spoke. “My love, it is better you rest for the child’s sake. Last week’s events were too hectic for the child. The healer and Queen Mariam said you should get all the rest you need as you will be birt
Alexander saw the look of discomfort make it’s way to Fareeda’s face again as he helped her into the carriage. He was beginning to get worried. “My love, are you sure you don’t want to rest today? I can sense your discomfort and I do not want anything happening to you,” Alexander said to her. “No Alexander I am fine. Thank you for caring for me. I love you,” she said sweetly caressing his face. “Let me make sure everyone else is prepared,” he said kissing her hand before he left. Fareeda took a deep breath tightening her arm around her swollen belly. She had only gotten little sleep throughout the night as the pain continued frequently. She shrugged it off as nothing though.
The Warrior’s Bride Last Chapter. It was exactly seven days after the birth of Farrah. The Assan tribe was in great joy as they prepared for the feast of her birth and naming. Fareeda stood beside Alexander as they watched her father, Bakir, King Aladdin and Queen Anna gushed at Farrah who was sleeping peacefully. “She already has them wrapped around her little fingers. Your father especially he would do anything she demands,” Fareeda murmured to him. “Yes, she does. How could not she?” Alexander said thinking about how she also had him too. “It has only been a week yet I miss your touch,” Fareeda whispered to him now.
The Warrior's Bride“No Alexander I don’t want this. We are living comfortably here. I don’t want this. I forbid you to go. “ Anna said to her son. He was the only good that had managed to come out from her life since she found herself in this kingdom. “Mother,” Alexander began taking a deep breath. “I understand how you feel but I have already been training hard. I can’t reject the king’s order. I will have to accept mother. Do not worry yourself. “ Alexander said to his mother. She was always worrying about their safety. “No. Alexander. I do not want to fall sick over worrying for you. I have
The Warrior's BrideFareeda feared as she stared at the man. She was sure he was going to run away with her fruit basket. After all, it was her fault. She had let him hold the basket. This was all her and her father had. She would use the money to buy them some chickens and seeds. She was sure this would be her death. Her father would hate her more than he already did. Just like that, the man took off and she took off after him shouting for help, but there was hardly anyone on the street this early. She wanted to get a nice spot for herself because all the other traders were too violent. As she ran, there were tears flowing down her eyes. He was gainng more distance and she was running out of breath. All of a sudden, she stopped. Someone was fighting the m
The Warrior’s Bride Fareeda wondered what all the noise was at the front of the cabin. She hoped her father had not upset the neighbours again. He always seemed to be looking for trouble everywhere, maybe that was the real reason nobody came for her hand, who knew? He would always blame it on her instead. She gathered the remaining seeds in the little basket and made her way inside. She would take the rest to the land tomorrow.Fareeda was glued to her feet when she saw the carriage that had the royal symbol. She almost fainted on the spot. What was the carriage doing here? “Fareeda! Fareeda!” She heard her father call, and she ran to his voice once she got out of the trance.
