Chapter 13

- Franklin -

"Alpha, everything has been put in place, and your ride is ready for the journey tomorrow," One of my guards told me, and I nodded.

Just then, King Marcus walked in.

"I see you have everything set for your journey," he commented.

"Yes, I do," I affirmed. "I will be leaving first thing tomorrow in the morning."

"I was enjoying your company, really. I hoped you could stay much longer," he said.

"I wish the same, but something came up which requires my presence. Since Xavier is here, he can cover up where needs be and it will enable him to bond well with the princess."

"Well if you say so. I just want to make sure everything you need for your journey is intact."

"Yes it is," I replied, looking around.

"Alright then. Have a peaceful night's rest," he bid me goodbye and headed for the door. I escorted him out and closed it behind him.

I was almost tempted to ask if the Princess cared to ask about me, but I was able to hold myself. I walked to the wardrobe to change

    Chapter 14- Giselle -What did I just do? I gathered the sheets to cover my bare chest. I allowed Franklin to make love to me...what was I thinking?But despite that, I tried to will myself to feel some shame; I was excited instead. What the hell is wrong with me?"Giselle..." Franklin's deep voice jolted me off my thoughts. "What are you thinking about?""We shouldn't have done this," I said, sounding as remorseful as I could. "This is wrong. What will my father think? What will everyone think?""Hey, calm down," he said, and his voice was the most soothing sound ever. "Look at me."I couldn't, I looked in every direction but his face. He moved his body closer and I felt chills."Why don't you look at me?" He spoke again and lifted his hand to my chin. He turned my face towards him."You're so beautiful," he said. In a few seconds, he was able to deviate my mind from the worry I harbour. I couldn't help the blush. "Your father doesn't have to know about this unless you want him to.

    - Giselle -I sneaked back into my room to find Kira patroling like a paid detective. I addressed her with a frown."What are you doing here?" I asked and she jumped. She had not noticed me walk in."Good morning Princess," she greeted, her eyes darting around. "I am here to clean your room."I eyed her because it did not seem like it. She seemed to be looking for what was not lost. I walked fully into the room, clutching to my nightwear which was squeezed under the desperate grabs of Franklin's hands.I felt Kira's eyes steadily on me as I passed her. I tried to pretend I did not notice her but her persistent glare made me ask."Why are you looking at me that way?" I wondered."Nothing my princess," she bowed. After a few seconds of silence, she decided she could not hold her curiosity in anymore."My princess, you were not in your room this morning when I came. Did you spend the night somewhere?"I jolted my head up at her question."Where else will I have spent the night?" I threw

    - Franklin -My eyes did not leave Giselle when she walked away from the dining, and I found her later in the day in the garden."My pretty witch," I called out as I strolled over to her."Are you stalking me?" She narrowed her eyes at me."No," I raised my hands in mid-air. "Why?""Because you are everywhere," she said. "You manage to find me wherever I am.""It's no fault of mine that your scent is so strong I cannot pretend not to notice when I pass by," I told her, and she suppressed a smile.I took a few paces closer and moved her hair away."What are you doing?" She whispered."Why do you hide my mark," I asked."You are very adamant," she shook her head. "You don't know how my father and the people will take this. What about your son?""When it comes to you, permit me to say I am shameless," I stated and she moved away."We can't be seen close to each other like this," she looked away. "Rumours will begin to fly around.""Well, nobody needs to know," I placed my hands behind my

    - Kira -I was making progress going after Giselle, and we had made it towards the end of the building. All the while, she did not know that I was behind her."Who's there?" A voice made me come to an abrupt halt. "Hey! What are you doing there?"I turned round up to see two soldiers approaching me."Hi," I turned to them nervously and tried to look as normal as possible."What are you doing here?" They asked unsmiling."Oh that, yeah," I scratched my head and looked back. The princess was not in sight anymore. "I am going for a stroll."The guards turned up to look at each other."For a stroll?" One repeated. "By this time?""I was finding it difficult to sleep so I wanted to clear my head," I told them."This is not allowed," They told me sternly. "You cannot be moving around by this time of the night. Besides, you are a woman. Something might happen to you. Go back to your quarters now.""Sure," I smiled at them and returned while they watched me leave.Shit!If only I knew another

    - Xavier -Not long after a maid served the wine I asked for, Kira came to the room and stood over me without a word."Are you okay?" I asked and tried to take her hands but she pushed me away."Xavier, tell me the truth," she demanded and I sighed. Not again."Kira, do we have to go over this?" I ran my hand through my hair. I was tired of her consistent naggings."Are you seeing the princess?" She asked, looking me straight in the eyes accusingly."What kind of question is that?" I asked, knowing it was possible she did not miss a thing."Just answer me, Xavier. And tell me the truth. Stop playing with my feelings," she was already getting teary. "First, it was the dinner, and now you are sneaking out at night with her?"I creased my brow in confusion."Sneaking out at night with her?" "Oh don't play dumb. You know what I am talking about," she maintained."No I don't," I insisted, wondering where Kira got her information from. I did wanted to see Giselle last night, but I was not

    - Kira -Yes!The good thing, too, is Alpha Franklin will be the first to notice her indecent behaviour at the table. She is just about to be disgraced.I quickly walked out of the hall so that somehow, someone would not pin it on me. Before they can find someone to help the princess out of her mess and take her to her room, everyone would have to watch her.- Franklin -My eyes were steadily and discreetly on Giselle as always. I couldn't get my eyes off her and at the same time, I couldn't let someone see me staring at her less they raise questioning brows.While she talked with the royalties with elegance, I smiled to myself, loving her pose and carriage.When she began to laugh unnecessarily at things that were not meant to be jokes, I noticed that something was off.I had to check that she had not taken too much and was acting under the influence. I walked over to her side of the table to take her away."Excuse me, Princess," I called and she turned to look at me, her eyes unusua

    - Franklin -"Good morning, Father," Xavier entered my room grumpily."What's with you, young man?" I asked him with a raised brow. "You've had this long face since last night at the table when you retired to bed and this morning too?"I was beginning to wonder if he had seen me with Giselle."Yesterday at the table, you tried to make an impression before Giselle's father and everyone there that you cared about the princess and is more responsible than me," he complained. "If you had noticed that she was not feeling well, the best you could do for me was come get me to help her.""Really," I narrowed my eyes thoughtfully."I have been trying so hard with the princess, but she keeps pushing me away. Especially when these noblemen come around. I need them to know that I am with the princess so they can accord me some respect too but every time I am being kept at a side.""So this is what it is now," I stated. "You want to do this not because you care about the princess but because you w

    - Giselle -The guards looked at me in uncertainty when I stood in front of Franklin's door."Princess, I am so sorry, but the Alpha is in meditation, and he has strongly ordered that no one be let in," One of the guards told me politely."Oh, that's fine. I will just come back later or..."Franklin called the guard from inside and he ran in. He returned shortly after."You can go in now," the guard told me and I smiled.Franklin was looking towards the door, and his face lit up immediately. I walked through it."Good morning Princess," he greeted as I walked towards him."Good morning," I couldn't help but smile back at him."I hope you are feeling much better now?" He asked and held out his hand to me."Yes, I am," I replied as I took his hand, and he squeezed it gently. I remembered."What happened to me last night?" I asked and he grinned at me."You was drunk," he told me and I narrowed my eyes."Drunk?" Then it seemed to dawn on me more now and my eyes widened. "Drunk?" I asked

    - Kira -I followed father around, trying to keep up with his pace. He was very excited about Giselle's delivery and was so busy sending out invitations for the celebration party and I had to help him."I feel very fulfilled," he told me and I had to force a smile. "I am now a grandpa after all these years. Giselle sure knows how to make me a happy man after her mother."He must have realized I might be upset with that when he added."All my children make me happy," and looked at me. "Like the day I found out you were my long-lost daughter after searching for you for years."I was glad when he did not say anything again for the next few minutes. It would have been my head blowing off if he did. I was already tired and fed up with talks about Giselle and the babies. So much for thinking she might not survive this one and she did.I have always wondered if there was something different about her. The aura that gives on a main character in a movie or something.She was always getting awa

    - Giselle -I walked out of the bathroom and the first thing I saw was Franklin crouched over our babies, looking at them with so much tenderness in his eyes.I smiled and leaned on the wall, watching him watch them.I was already recovering and felt very much better even though I recalled so well that I was at the point of death.I was already giving up then a scent I knew so well enveloped me. I could not see him but I knew he was there. I did not know what he did but somehow I gained strength from it.I became charmed over again. Marrying Franklin was the best decision I have ever made in my life. He was my soulmate and the best thing that ever happened to me.His love was overwhelming. It was so strong it protected me from the hands of death. My heart melted towards him over again and I felt like a teenager who had just met her first love.I walked towards him and wrapped my arms around his neck. I closed my eyes and hugged him tightly.He was taken aback, not expecting the hug bu

    - Franklin -"Where is my wife?" I asked the question I dreaded."Oh, she is fine," the doctor said. "She and the babies are fine.""Thank goodne..." I let out a deep breath and sucked it back in almost immediately as his words registered in my head. "What did you just say?"He smiled."She had twins," he told me. "A boy and a girl."I couldn't believe my ears and did not know how to react to the news either."You mean, I'm having two babies at once?" I asked, holding out two fingers.I don't know why that sounded funny to the doctor but he chuckled and nodded."In fact, you already have them," he said. I brushed him out of the way into the room and found them. My two gems and lovely wife are on the bed.Words failed me. And for the first time in a very long while, tears gathered in my eyes."Oh my goodness, oh my goodness," I muttered as I moved slowly towards them. Giselle was awake but looked weak. In spite of that, she managed a small smile.I held her hand hands gently and kissed

    - Cleopatra -I turned round abruptly, surprised to see him."Franklin?" I called as if I was not sure of his existence in flesh and blood. "What are you doing here? I thought we agreed you were going to wait in your chambers so the doctors can work this out?""I changed my mind," he said. "I will stay here till the end of it.""No you will not," I said hastily before I could stop myself then sighed. "I mean, you shouldn't. We've discussed this already. It's not nice for you to go through this. I will stand in for you. You will only be agitated waiting here.""Don't worry about that, sister," he said with a straight face. "I am strong enough to wait. It is cowardice to leave my wife in this condition and stay in my room. Let me worry about her. That might not even be the problem. I am staying strong where her strength fails her.""But it's not even the issue of staying strong or not," I chuckled. "It's making an environment where these guys can work freely and save her. If you stand o

    - Franklin -There was a strange look on the doctor's face, not exactly strange because I could already tell what he was going to tell me was not a good news."Her pregnancy was induced," he told me. "We'd have to take out the baby to save her life.""Her life?" I was able to pick. "And what of the child?"The doctor went mute and looked away. I held his shoulder and shook him."Tell me," I half yelled."I'm afraid we might lose it," he said slowly. I let him go, my heart shredding to pieces. I cannot lose my child. No. Not after all these years. Not again."And my wife? What is the probability of her being saved?" I asked, and again, I feared his response."If I'm to be sincere with you, it's a fifty," he said. "But, I will assure you that we will do our best."I ran my hand through my hair and took deep breaths in a bit to calm myself. I was not thinking straight and I felt extremely cold.King Markus was there with me, looking and watching. There wasn't one amongst us who could com

    - Jason -I instinctively placed a hand on my stomach, waiting to feel any slight pain."Did you poison me?" I asked him. The seriousness dropped off his face, and he laughed. Morgan laughed long and hard, doubling over. He hit his fist on the table while he laughed, and I watched him, dumbfounded.He finally struggled to control the laughter with a wheezing sound, tears in his eyes."Gosh, you need to see the look on your face," he said. "I did not poison you, silly."I let out a deep breath I had not realized that I was holding."Now, why will I want to kill you and choose to do it by poisoning your food?" He asked, taking a cup of water from the table. He gulped it down and shook his head at me. "You looked so shaken. Are you that scared of death? For someone like you, poisoning is a disgraceful way to die, for even if I wanted to kill you, not that way."He laughed again."Morgan, that was not funny," I had to say."You think? You looked like a wrung chicken. You looked like your

    - Jason -I had just finished speaking with Alpha Sheka about very important matters of the pack and was about to leave when he called me back."That reminds me," he said. "I need to invite you to a banquet tonight. I was going to tell you earlier but I skipped. Also because of the matters at hand you know.""I understand alpha," I replied empathetically. "Where'd we get the invitation from now?""Oh it's not far," he said with a suspicious movement of his lips that could pass for a smile. "It's from my son.""Oh, that's interest...what!?" I was saying before my brain registered what I heard."Yes, my son, Morgan. He arranged the banquet specially made for me and you," he repeated and I still could not believe my ears."Did he say he wanted me at the banquet?" I still asked because I could not make sense out of it yet."He made a special request for you to be there. You are surprised, aren't you? Well, I am too. I hope you don't mind the banquet. I've always thought you two were...uh,

    - Jason -It took me a few seconds after I returned to my room, to notice someone was there. I turned around with a displeased frown on my face."What are you doing here, Morgan?" I asked him."It's Prince Morgan but yeah, I think I can let that slide since it's you and also seeing that you'd always stress me with having to correct you all the time," he said with a grimace."What are you doing in my room?" I sighed."I'm here to talk," he replied with a shrug. "Can't I talk to you?""What are we talking about and why in my room? Official meetings are not held in the bedroom.""That's it," he snapped his fingers. "Because this is not an official business.""I cannot tell when we began to have an unofficial relationship," I stated and he laughed."Maybe if you were paying attention more, you'd remember that I did mention it.""I don't want to be acquainted with you, Morgan," I said to his face. "I am fine the way we are.""Come on Jason, don't make this hard," he said, relaxing his back

    - Cleopatra -I eyed the greedy man and scoffed."What do you mean by this is not enough? Do you want four generations' wealth before you're okay?" I scowled at him."My lady, you know what it caused us to be able to cover up for you. And I have other people to settle and keep their mouths shut. You will have to remit more."I sighed tiredly."Okay fine. I am going to give you some more but that will be it. You must not complain nor ask me for anything after that. And you must not try to contact me because we can never be seen together. Do you understand?""Clearly," he replied."Good."I was able to handle him without anyone finding out about it, and I hoped it remained that way. Anna has promised to keep her mouth shut and only say what was agreed on if Giselle finds her, but I couldn't trust her.How could I hold her to her words? I looked into her eyes and saw the fear.
