Hello everyone. I am deeply sorry for my slow update these days. I am currently out of home, out of country, visiting my mom with my baby daughter. I have sadly many personal things to deal with but I didn't forget about the story. Thank you for waiting for the rest of the story and the moment I am back home, I will get to daily updates. Have a nice time :)
“Report!” Daniel demanded the report knowing the person standing among his subordinates carried it. It has been almost a week since he sent his trusted man to bring the girl carrying the child of his enemy. For the past several days, his mind split between the two. The part of him seeking revenge against his mortal enemy wished to use the girl and her unborn child to finally get to Marcus and kill him. The other half of his mind was strongly against the idea. Using civilians in a bloody revenge was not something he could swallow.“Three days ago, they left Hayward, crossed the plains and two days ago entered Salstar. As far as we know, they left Salstar through the western tunnel early in the morning.” Anna, the person working under Irina, reported.Irina has been Daniel’s trusted friend since childhood and held t
“Do you think father is alright?” Ariana asked her mother during the second break on their way to the capital. They left Salstar two days ago and her father once again stayed behind. Ariana worried about him even more than she worried about herself. Her mother forbade her from shifting so for the past two days she has taken turns on the back of wolves’ warriors, isolated with her thoughts.Peter didn’t return to them the entire time they spent in Salstar. He remained outside of the city with warriors for the two days they spent in the town. Ariana regained her energy thanks to her mother’s constant care.Once they left the town, despite her inability to shift into her wolf, Ariana remained conscious for the past days, lost in her thoughts. The baby in her womb moved several times, letting her know it was growing.
“That’s Pharos, our capital.” Trenton showed with his finger to the horizon. Tall towers stood high above everything else as lighthouses for everyone. Ariana looked to the place where Trenton pointed with his finger. Another two days had passed, and they finally saw the destination of their journey.Ariana watched her mother standing and laughing with Trenton as he was showing her something on the horizon. Her eyes subconsciously looked for the distant object. It didn’t take long for her to finally see the city’s towers towering above the horizon. Watching the distant city, her eyes held tears, emitting sadness. A deep sadness which she harbored in her heart for the past weeks. Not even a talk with Trenton could dissolve the doubts she had in her mind. Deep in her heart, she knew the words she offered to her were true. Marcus has never been a good person. She recog
“Come in.” Daniel invited the person who stood behind the door of his office and knocked on the door. It didn’t take long before the door opened and David entered.“Good afternoon, sir,” he greeted king Daniel. Daniel lifted his eyes from the papers lying on the table in front of him. The voice of the man told him exactly what kind of news he should expect.“Trenton sent me ahead to give you a report, sir. By this time, he should be by the south gate of the city and be on his way to the castle with the girl and her mother.” David reported relatively shortly, but with the most important details. Daniel’s stomach curled inside. Until now, he hadn’t decided how to properly use the girl, if ever.“And her father?” Danie
“What was that supposed to mean?” Daria wanted to know as Trenton led them to their rooms. She looked at her daughter’s strange expression, trying to figure out what had happened. Daria arrived at the office the moment a tall, muscular and good-looking man gave order to Trenton to show them their rooms. He also demanded a doctor for Ariana, but her daughter’s pale expression told her something else happened before she arrived. The sudden rush of her daughter also aroused her curiosity. Despite Ariana’s weakening condition, for a moment she looked thrilled.“Nothing. It was nothing. I guess it’s just my imagination.” Ariana quickly dismissed her mother’s questions. She didn’t want to put hopes on another relationship with a high positioned man. Until now, she didn’t fully get over Marcus, either. Despite the rejection, she could f
“I am sorry. I didn’t expect you to come so early.” Ariana apologized to the doctor, who waited for her in the room.For the last three or more weeks, Ariana paid no attention to her hair. She couldn’t. Deep in the woods and plains, there were no creams and masks which she could put on her hair. Such dreadful conditions left marks on her. Even with the doctor waiting for her in the room, she took her time to put on a mask and once she finished bathing and partly dried her hair; she put on a cream.The doctor scanned the girl from head to toe. A clean clothes maid brought for her while Ariana remained in the bath fit her perfectly. One would say those close are made only for her. A long ring-detail draped jersey dress copied her curves while decently hiding her growing belly. The ring in the middle of her back, dec
“How is she?” Daniel asked for the report from the doctor. The look in Tanya’s eyes differed from what he expected. He almost forced her to check up on a girl from another country. And not just from another country. From the country of their enemy. In Edeirland, there wasn’t a person who wouldn’t suffer loss during the last war. Tanya Levi wasn’t an exception. She had lost her dear brother during that time. “Her pregnancy is progressing well. The road has left its mark on her, but they are both doing well. The baby girl is strong. I am sure she will give Ariana a hard time.” Daniel didn’t miss the mark of the child. She didn’t say a baby or fetus, but a girl. During this short time, she spent time with Ariana in her room. She had already opened herself to the girl, which was never easy. “She is pregnant with the girl?” Daniel wanted to
“Did you sleep well?” Daria came to visit her daughter first thing in the morning. Yesterday evening, king Daniel prepared a feast for his new guests, but Ariana remained in her room. He sent a maid to bring her some food, but the maid reported the girl sleeping. Daria used that time to speak with king Daniel alone.“I could use some more hours, but I feel good.” Ariana oozed energy. Over the past two weeks, she mostly fought with her mother whenever Daria tried to strike up a conversation. Ariana felt angry with her parents for forcing her to leave her homeland, leaving the father of her child. Yet, in her heart, she understood the reasons behind such a decision.“I am glad to hear that. Will you join us for breakfast today?” Daria asked her but the expression which appeared out of blue on her daughte
