LOGINCHAPTER 211Zion My heart was not in place after Bruno passed out. I haven't seen him that weak in days. At first, I thought it was stress, but when the apprentice told us that he had been charmed, I couldn't help but wonder how someone would try that on Bruno. Not that he lacks anything but he had just lost his second mate.“You need to stay here," the apprentice said to Bruno and then asked if I wanted to wait there, but I couldn't, so I promised to send someone.I made my way back to the car, which was parked a few minutes away, because Catherine used to say the sound of its engine tempered with the aquatic life and spirits close to her cave.I jumped in and then drove back to the Palace. The twins rushed to hug me before asking where Bruno was and I had to lie. They were children so I couldn't risk worrying about them. We all went to the living room where Nia and Aria were taking the boys to bed. “Is everything OK?" Shakira asked before taking a seat on the sofa. The moment th
CHAPTER 210Bruno I walked into palace and then headed straight to Zion's office so I could get the documents he had sent me. I got inside the office and then went to check the table but nothing was on it.I tried to recall what he said before I drove away just to make sure I didn't forget but there was nothing at the place he asked me to check.“Beta," I heard Shakira say when I lifted my head.“Shakira. What are you doing here?" I asked before she smiled and then walked inside closing the door.“I'm actually on my way out. Would you like me to get you something," I asked when she used force to push me on the Alpha's chair.“I wanted this," she bent to whisper in my ear before attempting to sit on my thighs when Nia walked in.“Nia," I whispered quickly jumping to my feet while Shakira looked down in shame.“I'm sorry please forgive—”"No we're sorry. I need you to keep this between us,” I said to Nia before she went away.“She wouldn't do a thing. We should have continued," Shakir
CHAPTER 209Aria “I can't believe you're doing this Aria. He's going to ruin us. You know what I'm leaving,” Shakira said about making her way upstairs when Derrick blocked her way.She was about to push him out of her way but then stopped to look back at us before she started crying."You know you're lying, Shakira, just tell them the truth,” Derrick said."What truth? I don't know what you're talking about, please just leave me alone,” she replied.Before Derrick could say anything else Shakira ran outside. I was going to follow her but Bruno held me back.“I think we should give her some time," he said, and I agreed and then asked the maids to show Derrick his room.Zion came to kiss me and then headed out with Bruno. I was just with Nia, the twins, Derrick, and Shakia, who was being dramatic.After some minutes, Shakira made her way to the living room; this time her face was serious. It was as if she had been possessed by something.“Are you still going?" I asked since she had ma
CHAPTER 208Aria “Is everything OK?" Zion asked, noticing the change in my face.“Yeah, I'm just a little tired. We should get some rest now," I responded with a smile.I covered the boys before closing the curtains since it was now late. I couldn't sleep while the quadruplets were still awake, so I sat on the chair I had placed next to the cradle.I don't know why my babies were so happy. It's like they knew mommy was upset so they took it upon themselves to cheer me on.“I can look after them babe. Please rest," Zion said but I just couldn't even if I wanted to.I knew that I shouldn't have followed him but I had to. I wanted to know what that abusive beast wanted. Just a few minutes after Zion left I followed him and hid until Derrick came.I wish I had listened to White when she asked me not to go, but being stubborn got the best of me, and I now I heard things I wasn't supposed to know.Back in Nightshade we all knew about Shakira's oak tree encounter because she told us about
CHAPTER 207Zion I reached the location Derrick had sent me but he wasn't there yet. I didn't take Bruno along but could feel him coming. Aria was definitely the one who asked him to follow.“Sorry," I heard a tired voice behind my back when I turned around and saw Derrick who was breathing heavily.It was as if he had been running from Nightshade. “I'm not here to wait. What do you want?" I responded looking like I didn't care.“I need your help Zion. I have never touched that woman. She's busy accusing me of all that," Derrick started.“Is this a joke or something? A few days ago you wanted to take that same woman home and now you want to be helped from her," I said looking at him with disgust.“I know that's why I called you here. Look, Shakira has been hurting herself badly for the past 2 months. I've tried to stop her, but she kept calling me names and then mentioned something about the shares our parents promised to give me,” Derrick said, and I wondered how he could have ment
CHAPTER 206Zion “I don't think I get what you're saying," I responded since nobody apart from me and my family knew about the royal shares.“I know you do. After everything your brother has put me through the least you could do as the King is help," Shakira said while I just laughed.I don't know how she got to know about all that since Derrick abuses her. I don't think anyone would tell somebody they despise any of that.The door opened, and Aria walked in with Nicholas, who was asleep in his arms. She smiled at us and then placed him in the cradle before coming to hold my arm.“What are you two talking about?" she asked, looking at Shakira and then me.“It's nothing. We were just discussing howDerrick's shares could benefit me as his wife,” Shakira replied while Aria looked at me with awe."I thought those had been given to charity?” Aria asked while Shakira pulled out her eyes."How's that even possible? I thought they were to be kept until it's time to give them to his wife or—
