Fiona’s POVLouis wailed loudly and it is beginning to sound disturbing to my ears. I have tried all I can to pacify him all to no avail. He just seems to enjoy making so much noise not concerning himself with how others might feel.Isla rushed into the room and took him from my arms trying to comfort him. “What is the matter, little one? Why are you crying?” She asked if he would have a response to give. “Are you okay?” She asked me.I sucked my teeth in frustration leaning into the bed frame. “I am not fine, Isla. I am tired. I want to get out of this place. I think Louis also feels the same. I feel abandoned here. How long do we have to live like this? And you, do you not miss your son? I do not want to shy away from the rest of the world. Anyone who is after me should have given up by now.”My theory didn’t seem to settle with Isla. She shook her head talking gently because of Louis. His eyes were closing up. “As long as they are alive. I can assure you they will always try to get
Ronan’s POVI laughed to myself as Fiona struggled hard to get a release from my grip. I shouldn’t have taken this approach to surprise her. She tried to kick me, but I held her down.“Help.” She yelled into my palm.“Calm down, my love. It is me, Ronan.” I whispered in her ear.Her body went limp all of a sudden. When I was sure she wouldn’t holler, I put on the bed lamp. Her chest heaved and her eyes were wide open in fear. I regret my actions. What was I thinking?”“Fiona….” I attempted to reach for her but she slapped my hand off instead, got off the bed, and stepped out of the room.I didn’t know if I was supposed to go after her or not. So I stayed put hoping she would return while I checked on my son. He sleeps peacefully through the chaos. Must have troubled his mother and Isla during the day. He looks so peaceful and handsome. I can’t wait for him to return to the palace just so I can spend more time with him, and watch him take his first steps, and grow.I felt a hard slap o
Ronan’s POVTimon had an amused smirk on his face that I wished to wipe off with my punch. He really thinks I am a joke.“Can you stop making that face?” I growled.He chortled. “What will you have me do Your Majesty? Didn’t I tell you this will happen eventually? You are just so stubborn to listen sometimes.”I snickered glaring at the table. Since I returned from visiting Fiona I couldn’t stop thinking about what she told me. She does have a point. How long will she need to remain indoors with our growing child? After thinking hard and long on it, I thought to seek advice from my dumb friend and all he has been doing is showing off his teeth.“Do you intend to give me advice or not?” I queried.“Don’t be like this, King Ronan. What you need to do is easy. Let Lady Fiona do whatever she likes. We would have guards dispatched discreetly to the village and they would keep a close eye on everyone from the house. They can get to live normally like every other person and anyone that becom
Author’s POVFreya moved cautiously with her eyes darting back and forth as she neared the house. She didn’t have the expected news Callum would hope for. But then she has other things on her sleeve planned out with the hope of getting him engrossed with her. Making her way through the secret door. She hurriedly shut it and went to his room. Like she feared someone might be behind her.Callum stretched out from the bed, rubbing his face at the sound of the door opening. He managed to sit up at the sight of Freya.“Freya, what are you doing here?” He asked coarsened tone. “It is barely morning.”She wiggled out of the dress she had on quickly leaving her naked. Within a second she was straddling the older man on the bed.“I know.” She let out in a shaky tone, kissing him hungrily.Callum held her back. “What is the matter? Why are you all over me?”“I…I want you so bad. I am on my heart and you know you are the only one who has access to my body. Please.” Freya begged.His nose turned
Ronan’s POVI was about to get into the carriage when I sighted Freya with a red nose and her arms wrapped around her to shield the cold and none of her maids were in sight. I hurried towards her.“Freya, what is wrong?” I asked, reaching for her. It is quite early in the morning.She tried to smile despite the cold slapping her face hard. “Nothing, it is just cold. I went out to the garden to have a moment to myself.”“You could have called some maids to bring you a coat.”“I didn’t want to disrupt their sleep.” Came her reply.Without thinking further, I lifted her off the ground towards the hallway. She tried to protest but I had no intention to let her down. I only let her go when she lay on the bed with the bed cover around her.“Thank you.” She mumbled.I placed a palm on her forehead to check her temperature. Her maid rushed into the room going on her knees.“Pardon me, your majesty. I didn’t know the Luna Queen was sick.” She said.“Get the doctor to check on her if she gets w
Ronan’s POVMy thoughts kept clashing against one another as we rode back to the palace. Different people have mentioned the same thing as regards what Elder Callum is capable of. And I feel the strong urge to confront him.“You can’t do that,” Dion said.I scoffed. “This is exactly the problem. I keep being told that I can’t do this or that. It is why there is a killer on the run probably making fun of me.”“Have you stopped to think about the fact that your aunt was not the only one that got killed? If your uncle needed to settle scores with his wife, he would have trailed her to the safe house instead of having so much blood on his hands. And how will an old wolf like him take down skilled warriors?”I thought about Dion’s words for a moment. He is right. As much as my uncle must have been considered a strong fighter in his days. One can’t say that much about him now. The guards would have countered him easily if that was the case.However, that still does not change the fact that
Author’s POVCallum ran with all of his strength through the woods not minding the discomfort he was feeling in his chest. All he wants to do is to get away from everything happening around him. Not having any appropriate person to share his plans with makes him feel very frustrated. And at the moment nothing is going his way.His wolf protested at the hard push and that prompted him to go back to the house. After taking a bath, he got dressed and headed to the study. Two of the guards he had sent on a task had returned.“Do you have any good news for me?” Callum asked with a stern expression.Both men glanced discreetly at themselves, and one of them finally gathered enough courage to respond.“My lord, we couldn’t find her.” He said with restraint in his voice.Callum scoffed, rubbing at his forehead. “I can’t believe you two are telling this to my face. Have you lost your mind? How hard can it be to find a child? Does she have wings to fly or know better than you two? How can you a
Fiona’s POVI laughed lightly at a joke Dawn made while she tried to pacify Louis. He can be such a mess when he chooses to be. Crying out his lungs and not concerning himself with what others might be feeling. Still, no matter how fussy he gets. Dawn is always ready to carry him in her arms. It's like a joyous feeling for her.“Shhh, I think he is sleeping.” She said while trying to check if was really asleep.Isla walked into the room with a bowl it fruit in hand. She dropped it next to me before checking Louis. “He is asleep.” She affirmed.“That was quick,” I mumbled.“I will take him to his room,” Dawn said amidst a yawn. “I think I would retire for the night too.”“Alright. Have a good night's rest.” I waved at them as Isla followed too.Letting out a long breath of relief, I leaned into the bed frame chewing on my fruit quietly. My thoughts are preoccupied with Ronan’s state. He sent a letter that Dawn must be well protected and never let out of my sight. It made me wonder what
