Chapter 132The table looks sumptuous with slices of various fruits on every plate and a huge glass jar of sweetened strawberry yogurt to fill up the empty glasses beside each plate. A party of various desserts are properly arranged at the center of the table– a perfect setting for a family appetizer. Alessia picked the jar, filling up each glasses which belonged to Cyril, Adrian, and Liah. The whole setting was prepared to celebrate Liah’s arrival. She'll be staying for the holidays which would last a month.Thompson eventually agreed to leave Adrian in the lycans kingdom but with a condition— that when he turned sixteen, he would return to Silverstone pack for good. He had to learn the basics if he would take over Thompson's throne. Liah on the other hand would come visiting during the holidays until whenever she chose otherwise. “Can I have some pancake, Xai?’’ Liah requests, stretching her fork. Xia, a four year old version of Cyril, rolled his eyes drastically before spittin
Chapter 131Alessia's POV It was the end of the ceremony already, what was left of it was the clanking sounds of cutleries as the crowd feasted.The crowds had reduced to a rather scanty size but the blaring music continued. In twos and more, the number of recognisable guests approached our love seat to congratulate our union. “Really can't wait for all these to be over.’’ Cyril sighed, literally frustrated. I'd realised a while back that he had been forcing those smiles he offered to the guests while they approached. And right now he just did, looking up to the approaching footsteps before us. “Congratulations, my king.’’ The robust looking man offered. I immediately recognised his voice. And when I finally met his gaze, it clicked. “We meet again.’’ He directed at me, a broad smile on his bearded face. It was the Alpha of my mother's pack. ‘‘Oh, its a pleasure. I didn't know you were present.’’ I expressed. His brows furrowed playfully. “Did you invite your mother's family
Chapter 130Alessia's POV I stood before the mirror, sizing my large belly bump that couldn't stay hidden even under the huge dress I had on. Finally, it was my coronation ceremony. The day I got officially appointed into the position of the Queen of the Lycan kingdom. Was I nervous? Of course! Although I'd met with most of the higher-ups in terms of the hierarchical rank system personnels, eminent of my visit for recognition and formal pleasantries which wasn't an easy process having my pregnancy weighing down my strenght— thanks to Lance who always showed up wherever I turned to to help. However, today I'll be standing before a sandhill of lycans observing my every word and move. I had to play things perfectly. Now back to this pregnancy. I needed it to be almost unnoticeable during the ceremony, but this was the fifth dress and it still wasn't enough for what I wanted. The door creaked open gently and Pryia tiptoed in. She shut the door query before turning to me; head lowe
Chapter 129CYRIL’S Pov“I wouldn't stoop that low. If I wanted her dead, I'd have ended her long ago.” He scoffed. He did a great job masking the truth, my intuition almost wavered. “Alan.!!’’ I shot. I needed the outright truth and nothing else from him right now. He jerked up, meeting my gaze again. His lips almost parted but his straight face crumbled, and a heavy grunt left his lips instead. It wasn't until he grabbed onto his left breast painfully that I realised something had really gone wrong with him.“Hey!’’ I drawled, still unsure yet.But a louder groan left his lips instead, in a sharp throaty pitch. “What's wrong?’’ I rushed to him, alarmed. “Alfred!’’ I yelled. Didn't all of Alessia's poison spill out? Perhaps it had reached his heart and was now threatening life from him. ‘‘Alfr….’’“The mate bond….’’ Alan hitched, trailing words off my lips. ‘‘What?’’‘‘M– Melanie. Where is she?’’ He croaked, his eyes madly reddened and glassy. ‘‘This is… this is about her?
Chapter 128CYRIL’S POV Stunned was the word. The manner she barged in, yelling my name so loudly without any regards as to what the time of the day was. I parted my lips to speak, but I was silenced by another uproar from her…“There you are!!’’ She rushed at Alan in a flash.Before I could comprehend anything, the ripping sound of skin slashing apart with a thousand droplets blood spilling all over my desk was next. “Alessia!!’’ I rose to my feet.She'd ran her claws through Alan's cheek and was still vibrating vehemently in raw anger. I had to step in real quick, or she was throwing another fist across his face. I grabbed her just in time, lifting her foots away from Alan l“That wasn't enough! Allow me deal with him a little more!’’ She kept yelling. “Can you calm down, Alessia!’’ I yelled, fed up with the whole silly drama already She'd literally just barged into privacy; not very nice an attitude. Yet she was making more fuss. “He lied. He is not innocent and I knew it.’’
Chapter 127Alessia's POV My gaze darkened; an intense squint through which I watched Alan.What in hell? He couldn't have gone that far now could he? “What are you talking about, my king?’’ He remained neutral, making it impossible to see through his external features display. “The doctor confirmed she couldn't have taken ‘such stringent process’ of terminating the pregnancy that has kept her in a very bad shape.’’ Cyril further revealed, leaving my eyes wide in awe. “Y-you mean… Melanie is… ’’ Alan trailed off, shaking his head in a swift motion. He emerged back again with the hard unaffected expression that seemed to waver just seconds ago. “I don't know what you're driving at my king. It is true that I asked her to terminate the pregnancy and that is because it can affect my lead on the prophecy. You know that.’’ He said instead. “What prophesy?’’ I moved my gaze to Cyril. He let out a huge sigh, seemingly frustrated and confused by the whole thing. “What prophesy, Alan?’’
