- 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

    - Giselle -Everyone was looking at me with accusations in their eyes. I did not even know where to start explaining. I had no idea how the emerald got into my room. I looked at Franklin, wondering what was going on through his mind."Father, you know I wouldn't do this, right?" I looked at my father for support but even if he would, he was held back by what the people would think."I'm so sorry everyone," Franklin finally spoke. "I just remember now that I had gifted this Emerald to the Princess the first day we arrived here.""If you did, how come both of you cannot remember the same jewellery?" Xavier threw in."I gave her so many gifts. It's not her fault that she cannot remember," Franklin said to my defence again."Well," Father sighed wearily. "Next time, please try to be sure because these kinds of things can be very delicate. I almost had a heart attack because this sort has never happened here before.""I apologise for this misunderstanding and for the inconveniences this mu

    - Xavier -I could not get over what Kira told me. Giselle had a secret lover? That cannot be. I have not seen her with any man nor heard her speak about anyone, so why this?And that is why it is called a secret lover, my subconsciousness reminded me and I hissed with annoyance.If this is true then it cannot be good. What will happen to all my plans? I couldn't help but wonder who the princess was seeing as well.What did he have better than me that she chose him instead? Was that the reason why she acted as if she could not stand me?No, I cannot take this. This is an insult to my person. What will people say? Not after when her father had made me make moves towards our relationship. I would like to know if he knows about this too and I cannot allow itNow that Kira had given me the information, I wanted to find out more. I would be restless until I was sure the princess was doing otherwise.I decided to confront her and she had better have a reasonable explanation.- Giselle -My

    - Giselle -The darkness that enveloped me was not as real as the feeling I got when I looked down and saw myself in the familiar tattered and faded gown I wore very often as I maid. I could not find any of those long flowing royal gowns anywhere."Don't stand there looking," someone called to me. "We have a lot of work to do. A large portion of the palace has not been cleaned."I don't understand...What's happening? Did I return to being a maid again? I remember this so well. My heart raced with fear.Just a while ago, I was a princess, and now this?"What's with you?" One of the maids shook me off my thoughts. "What are you thinking about.""I'm a maid?" I asked, unable to understand what had happened. The other maid looked at me quizzically."You have always been a maid," she replied. "Where is this question coming from?'I still did not understand. It can't be. Just now I was the Princess."When you finish mopping that, Princess Kira wants to see you. So make sure you are done on

    - Giselle -"Princess," Kira bowed as she addressed me."Yes?" I raised a brow."The Alpha King would like to have a word with you," She told me, and I stopped what I was doing to look at her the moment she mentioned Franklin, and her eyes twitched suspiciously."Alpha Franklin?" I repeated before I could stop myself."Yes, Princess.""Oh..." I braced myself. "Tell him I will be on my way.""Alright."She replied and walked out of the room. I sighed, wondering what he wanted to have sent for me in the day. It should have waited till night when we usually meet.I walked to his room and my heart beat raced with expectation, not because I wanted to know what he would say, but because I wanted to see him.I tightened my hand to hold myself when he finally was standing before me."You sent for me," I said with my voice a little bit higher than usual because I was afraid it would break."Yes, pretty," he replied casually and I tried to hold the blush."We agreed to meet at night when people

    - Franklin -I took a deep breath after Giselle walked out and paced back to my stool. I couldn't understand why she did not want me like I wanted her.I was on edge because I did not know what to think. I did say I wouldn't force anything on her and I will keep to my word.In as much as I loved her dearly, if she wants us to stay away, I have no choice but to respect her decision.I was serious about her giving me an heir. I wanted it to happen soon and fast so I wouldn't have to present Xavier to the Lords.I have meditated about him and I am most certain that he could not control the things I would have left in his hands.People only hold him in great accord because of me and not like he had done anything by himself.

    - 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.
