Terrible News
I woke up later than usual.
Stretching my body, I blinked a couple of times.
Then, I smiled as memories of what happened last night flooded my senses. Everything was beautiful. The mark was burning on my neck. The severed bond was restored.
My body was sore from our late-night activities. But it was one of the most delicious things that could ever happen.
A slow smile made its way to my lips.
Maxxwell was great in bed.
I definitely love the sex and the different positions we did. Despite being pregnant, I realized I could still enjoy sex the way I wanted it to be.
Maxxwell had taken me over and over again despite being scared that he might harm us.
After reassuring him again that nothing will happen, he was back to being an animal. And I loved that beastly attitude. It was raw and erotic at the same time.
My hands went to Maxxwell's bed space.
Frowning, I glanced at my side.
The bed was empty.
The disappointment was an understatement.
I was looking forward to seeing him when I awakened.
Relax. You have to understand him. He was still the king, after all. He had a lot of things on his plate, and the best thing that you should do was help him and give him some space if he wanted to. A knock resounded, bringing me back to the present situation.
"Your Grace? Are you awake? May we come in?"
It was the twins.
I was about to sit when I realized I was completely naked under the heavy blanket.
There were love bites on my thighs and my breast.
Damn.
So wild.
I suddenly craved Maxwell's presence and wanted another session.
Later.
"Your Grace? We heard some rustling. Are you there?"
I answered, "Give me a minute."
Squinting, I rolled to my side and sat. After a couple of attempts to stand with my feet on the floor, I succeeded.
My cheeks flushed when our clothes welcomed me. Damn. My underwear was on the ground as well as the alpha king's trousers. He did not pick them up? What did Maxxwell wear now?
It was a good decision that I stopped the twins from coming over. Grabbing a stick, I used it to pull the underwear and other clothes and put it in a bin. "Your Grace? Is everything fine there?"
Craning my neck, I responded, "Yes. Everything is fine. Another minute. I will be out."
"If you find it difficult to change, that is why we are here, Your Grace. We can help you. The alpha king asked us to wait for you to awaken."
"No. I can handle it."
Now. Where are my clothes?
Reminded that all my clothes were in the alpha king's drawer, I pulled out a fresh set of underwear and a dress.
Checking myself in the mirror for any sign of love bites, I beamed when I found none, only on the hidden parts of my body.
With confidence, I stepped out of my chamber.
The twins were waiting.
"Why are you here?"
They looked at me as if they had found something new. They smiled.
Scowling, I asked, "What?"
"It's like something is new to you. You are blooming, Your Grace. Pregnancy looks good on you."
"Is that so? Thank you for the compliment. Now, why are you here again?"
They looked at each other. "W-we came to see you because the alpha king said he would do something important. While he is away, we will join you wherever you go, Your Grace." I heaved a sigh.
Until when will Maxxwell treat me as if I was his prisoner?
"Where exactly is he? I want to see him. Did he eat already?" When I was his personal servant, he typically went to work without putting anything on his stomach.
A long silence followed.
I narrowed my eyes. The twins were usually like this when they were hiding something. Or something which they did not want me to know.
"What is it?"
"Nothing, Your Grace," they said in unison. "Where do you want to go? Or would you prefer to eat first? The cook prepared one of your favorites. Courtesy of the alpha king." That was sweet of Maxxwell.
Still...
"Are you sure?"
Clara flinched at her sister's side.
"Spit it out. If you want to tell me something, you better do it now."
"I-It's about the princess."
The only princess I personally met was Princess Leonora-the brat who wanted the alpha king.
"What about the princess? Will she keep on insisting that she wants to marry His Highness? The alpha king said that he does not want her."
"There's a far more important issue than that."
"What?"
They won't talk.
I heaved a sigh.
"Where is the princess? Bring me here. I need to greet her."
"At the Great Hall, Your Grace. Please prepare yourself."
Why would I do that?
It was true that Princess Leonora was in the Great Hall. But what the twins did not say was that she was accompanied by his brother, Prince Calixtro, and the most shocking part? The princess was pregnant. The alpha king was talking to them.
Pregnant.
My mind was spinning as I tried to decipher what was happening right now.
It felt as if I was knocked out of the air.
Pregnant.
Why was Princess Leonora pregnant? I last remembered that something happened between the alpha king and the princess. But I was not expecting it actually to be true. Or perhaps it was not true. Still early to tell.
Yes.
But my insides were already shaking.
"Oh. Here is the queen," the princess announced.
All their attention shifted to me.
Princess Leonora proudly showed her baby bump.
Something was telling me that this was terrible news.
My feet won't cooperate, and I just force them to move.
Relax. Everything will be fine.
I hope it will.
I halted in front of them.
"Your Highness. What is the meaning of this?" I demanded, trying to control my raging emotions. I was not allowed to get angry, but honestly, the last thing I wanted right now was to punch Maxxwell. "Make me understand how it happened like this, Your Highness."
How dare he!
He said nothing happened between them. And now?
Princess Leonora proudly pointed at her belly. "Told you the alpha king and I had sex." She was bold.
Relax, River. This brat may be lying. It took her a few months before she returned, and there was no assurance that the father was the alpha king.
"Your Grace. There is no way to verify that I am the father of the princess child," the alpha king uttered calmly.
He sauntered towards me, but I held my hand to stop him from advancing toward me.
I did not want my anger to disappear just because of his touch.
"Don't.
I felt disgusted.
"You believe I am the Father? Your Grace. I vow that nothing happened between us as far as my memories are concerned. Please believe me," he begged.
Princess Leonora pulled the alpha king into her side. "Your Highness! How could you say those? We had sex. You were drunk that time. That is enough reason to say that you do not remember anything that happened."
Eyes burning with anger, Maxxwell whipped his head into Princess Leonora's side.
"I always remember everything, even if I was drunk. Princess Leonora. Stop lying. Admit that another man impregnated you."
The princess's eyes watered. "H-how could you accuse me of such things? This baby is yours. Don't you care for your child's feelings? He hears you right now."
Oh, great. Another male who has the potential to take away the throne.
"I am not the father!"
I squinted at the alpha king's loud voice.
Prince Calixtro stepped in.
"Now, now. Your Highness. We came here in peace because of my sister's request. She pleaded not to push through the war. But this is how you will treat us? Perhaps we should push through the war-"
The alpha king cut off Prince Calixtro's words and grabbed his neck, cutting off his air supply.
Shocked, Princess Leonora only stared at her brother, fighting for his own life as he struggled to escape.
"I will no longer tolerate any disrespect." Prince Calixtro looked like nothing but a bundle of vegetables in the alpha king's hand.
A vein popped out from Maxxwell's neck.
Maxxwell lifted Prince Calixtro higher, nearly killing him.
Move, River!
The man continued struggling, and seeing he almost went purple, the princess snapped and went to her brother's side, helping her brother break free.
"Your Grace! Do something! I don't want my brother to be killed!" Princess Leoonora cried.
I blinked a couple of times, and breaking away from my trance, I went to the alpha king's side and tried to open his palm.
"Let go, Maxxwell!"
He did not.
Left with no choice, I slapped him hard on both of his cheeks, enough to make him snap out of it.
I sighed in relief when he dropped Prince Calixtro on the ground.
Maxxwell turned his back.
"Brother! Are you okay?"
The prince coughed while touching his neck.
"How could you do that, Your Highness? My brother did not do anything wrong!"
Maxxwell faced us, and it was better if his back was against us. His eyes were on fire as if he could kill us with it.
"Your bastard brother threatened my kingdom! The last time, I was only trying to put up with the two of you. But not anymore. I have an heir and a queen to protect. The next time you threaten us, I will no longer
treat you nicely. Be thankful that the queen is here to stop me from killing you."
Princess Leonora helped her brother stand on his foot. The prince glared at us while coughing.
The alpha king's palm was imprinted on his neck.
"We came here to inform you about your child," the princess cried. "Are you not happy about this?"
"I am not happy with your lies, Princess Leonora. How many times will I tell you nothing happened between us, huh?"
A tear fell from the princess's eyes.
My heart fell for her.
"Is there any way to verify if the child is yours, Your Highness?"
"I am one hundred one percent sure the child is not mine."
What if the princess was telling the truth?
"My sister does not lie. Your Highness, I will never forget you nearly killed me."
"I will do it again if you threaten us again."
As much as I hated the alpha king right now, the princess's condition should be taken into consideration.
"I want the princess to stay here until she gives birth. Then, a test will be run to verify if she really is bearing the alpha king's child."
"Your Grace, my child is only Quinn."
Princess Leonora clutched her chest. "How could you deny our child, Your Highness? You can deny me, but please don't do it to my child. It is painful to me."
"I never cared about your feelings," Maxxwell spat. "You are nothing. I don't even want to see your face again."
His words took me aback.
Was this the Maxxwell I knew before?
The princess broke into a sob.
I woke up later than usual.
Stretching my body, I blinked a couple of times.
Then, I smiled as memories of what happened last night flooded my senses. Everything was beautiful. The mark was burning on my neck. The severed bond was restored.
