All Chapters of Protecting The Royal Babies: Nanny For A Wife: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I blinked at the sight of the young man standing there with his hands clasped behind his back. He wore a dark shirt tucked away into black pants. The few buttons undone exposed a very masculine chest. This had to be the Lycan King's beta Mattie had talked about. His eyes followed my every move, including the rise and fall of my chest. I cleared my throat, walking back on wobbly legs. I was suddenly nervous. The silence hovering around my room was awkward and tense. I cleared my throat again, facing my guest and wishing I hadn't right after. The intensity of his gaze was not something I could get used to. I felt the need to drop my eyes to the floor or be caught openly staring at a man. But then I remembered myself. I gulped and kept my chin raised. It was hard. His blue eyes wanted me to...submit. I shook the weird thought away and said, "You must be the Lycan King's beta. Mattie said you'd come to access the job done." With his hands still clasped behind his freakishly tall fra

Except they didn't fly over the railing and remained unscathed. They dropped, all the way down to the marble tiles below. I screamed, almost diving over the rail, going after them. My hand had missed their wraps by a brush. Tears rolled down my cheeks at the speed of a fall. I had harmed them, so I couldn't dare look. Chaos ensued as everyone dashed to the scene, scared for the Princes. I held the rail, crying seriously because it was all my fault. The twins were dead because of me. But finally, when I looked downstairs, I saw them safe in Kaloyan's hands. Relief overtook me like a tsunami. I cried out with joy, fisting my chest because it hurt. Lord Ezra's hateful glare weighed on my shoulders. Even the maids had harsh things to say about me. I turned away from the edge, sliding to the floor at a corner of the hall. Pulling my knees to my chest, I wished I could disappear. Minutes later, I felt someone next to me. I smelled him first. Slowly, my eyes met his. He was holding

I ran into his walk-in closet on instinct. It was another entire world on its own, covered by the white double door with ventilation holes above. My heart hammered in its cage. He was going to catch me red-handed, no doubt. After a few minutes, the closet doors opened, and I turned pale. My knuckles whitened. It was Mattie, not Kaloyan standing there. I could finally breathe. I had even fallen on the ground to catch my breath, but she was right behind, scolding me back to my senses. "Do you wish for this to end before it even starts, Athena?!" "I was looking for something." "I don't even want to know what it was, but if I hadn't shown up on time, you'd have been sent packing to your death today." I frowned. "What did you do?" "I had to lie to the Alpha that Lord Ezra needed to see him urgently in the arsenal." "And he believed you?" "Well, I wouldn't be standing right here if it didn't work." Master Kaine was smarter than that. He wouldn't have believed a lie as such so eas

All about Eastmoon Lycanthropy had to be inside their royal archives. I wouldn't vouch for anywhere else but here. After searching for thirty minutes, I found a dusty old box next to a shelf. Inside it were my answers. I chose a table and sat down, blowing dust off the big hard cover and choking on it. After waving my hand in the air to clear the dust, I finally got to it. I should know what Kaloyan's biggest weakness is aside from his princes. The book began with Eastmoon's history. How it rose from being the weakest to the strongest wolf city in the world. I read and read, flipping through pages, learning that they could be killed by decapitation. I imagined Master Kaine in that famous black hat, and then I imagined ripping his head off. "Looking for ways to kill me already, little dove." I jumped, looking behind me to find Kaloyan rested against the nearest shelf and first on the column. "What are you doing here?" I hid the page from Athena's file I carried with me inside the

My eyes darted to Mattie at my side, who had involuntarily recoiled. I didn't know who had found us, but she knew and had kept silent about it for the minutes we stood. Pressing my lips together, my mind blanked. The woman before us bowed to me; the aftershocks of surprise gone with the dawn wind. Not for me, though. I narrowed my eyes that still darted between Mattie and her. "Ms. Williams, it's a surprise to see you." She eyed Mattie through the corner of her eye, sharing meaning I didn't partake in. "What are you doing here by this time? It's barely past five am." I opened my mouth to speak, but only a shaky breath got past it. She knew who I was—all of Eastmoon knew who I was, but I couldn't tell the difference. It was the price of fame I had to pay for living this life. "Uhm, it's going to be a long day, Patricia. Ms. Williams decided to start off her day early." Patricia nodded reluctantly, sparing an uneasy smile. She held the skirt of her dress, alerting me to her attire o
