Renae's POV"I am keeping the baby," I whispered brokenly to June. We were just walking into the potion room and she said nothing.All through the morning, she kept to herself whilst we proceeded with our work. When I tried to fix some of the work, she shoved me aside and did most of the work herself."What's up with you two? You are sulking, it's not funny," Eden teased but neither of us responded. The awkwardness continued until it was recess.My legs hurt badly and I retired on one of the benches around. June bumped out of nowhere and dragged me out of the potion room. She kept mute until she found a suitable spot."Are you out of your mind!?" She yelled, pulling me into an isolated corner. I stuttered, not knowing how to respond."Why did you say something like that casually? Do you want your misery to start even before it begins? If others catch wind of your condition early, you know what it means," she said angrily."I am sorry… I just felt it is a secret that will soon be out
Renae's POVI collapsed against the door of my dorm, too weak to do more. My skin was glistening with sweat and my heart was pounding in fear and hatred for Jennifer. Slowly, the door opened behind me, but I did not care who it was."Renae?" June's voice boomed behind me."Renae!" She shrieked."Goddess, Renae! It's you! What happened?" She squatted before me, wiping off the sweat on my forehead."Ahh…" I slurred aloud as pain sizzled through my body.A dorm door directly in front of us swung open, and a blonde head peeked out. I saw concern on the girl's face as she stared at my sobbing form. "What's going on?" The girl asked. "Do you guys need any help?""N..no, no!" I heard June stutter and smile nervously at the girl. The girl nodded, a curious look on her face, and withdrew back into her room.June turned to me, then crouched beside me. She placed a hand gently on my bare shoulder, but even that small touch sent needles of pain, puncturing what small relief I had."Please, stop
Renae's POVMy sleep that night was even more riotous. I tossed and turned on the bed, my dreams punctuated by Jennifer and Prince Logan and the ordeal I had endured in the laboratory.When I woke up, sunlight was already pouring from the window above my bed. I groaned and sat up, feeling my head pound with an ache.I looked around my room and found June entering the room with a glass of water in her hands."Good morning." She chirped. "How do you feel now?"She sounded cheerful, but what I felt was miles away from cheerful.I forced a smile for her. "Great, I guess."She reached the bed and handed me the glass of water. "Here. You should drink this. I already made a potion for you, so you should feel much better after taking that too.""Thank you, June." I raised the glass to my lips and took a sip. The potion had hardly settled in my stomach when I felt nauseated. I sprang to my feet but I couldn't make it to the restroom. In a projectile motion, I vomited the mixture across the ro
Outline E Logan’s POVTrudging through the corridor that led to the Grand hall, I made my way in with few guards behind me. Father was seated on his royal chair and beside him was my mother, looking radiant and elegant as always. Just below their seats were the seats of dignitaries that graced the occasion. Alphas of different packs that were in peace with our pack were present, all dressed to dazzle. Some were around my age and some were as old as my father. Right below them were the seats of the officials that worked under my father. Beta Peter whom my father favoured highly, stood out amongst them all. Guilt washed over me as I beheld Beta Peter. His daughter was my supposed bride, one whom I was displeased with. I wondered when I would warm up to her.I dissuaded the sore feeling and flowed with the moment. It was Lian's eighteenth birthday and I won't entertain anything that would get in the way.I let a wide grin spread across my face as I adjusted my regalia. I wasn't used
Renae’s POVWith my life history, It was obvious that I had lived with little or no vanities. My invitation to the Princess's eighteenth birthday was a feat for me. Not only did the Princess invite me, Prince Logan came to invite me personally.Well, the whole thing made me realize how pathetic I was. I had my eighteenth birthday a few months ago, but there was nothing spectacular about it.I finished fixing the wrap I used to conceal the small bump in my stomach. I didn't know how long I would keep this on, but knowing the life of misery that awaited me, I decided to enjoy the moment while it lasted.I pulled on the best dress that I had, it was a long red velvet gown. Finishing up with a simple make-up, I made my way towards the palace.At first, I was stranded. I remained at the palace gate thinking of how to get in. I finally struggled my way in when one of the guards identified me as the healer who used to treat the Prince.Once I walked in, I felt out of place immediately. Kee
Lian's POVI saw the small doctor the moment she entered the Grand Hall. She looked shabby for the event and I blamed my forgetfulness. I Should have sent a dress over to her.She must have felt out of place as she hauled herself to a corner.Despite her shabbiness, she still looked beautiful. It was obvious that she put in her best to look good for the occasion. Knowing that, made me smile.Her look turned sour the moment Logan began to kiss Jennifer. I saw it all and I knew I was right all the while. My brother felt something for her and with her reaction, it's safe to say that she felt the same way.What will I do with these two? I thought as a guard approached her, leading her into the gathering. Logan must have sent him.I did not miss the sore glances that Jennifer threw her way and because of that, I decided to introduce the small doctor to the crowd.I almost sank to the ground when the small doctor returned as a maid to serve tables. Logan's brows knitted too, but he said not
Renae's POVI dragged my sore body down to my hideout. It was the only place that came to mind whenever I was in misery.My body hurt badly and I felt worn out. Walking such a distance was too much for me, but I did it. At this point, I needed to be alone, I needed the comfort that the spot afforded.Walking through the field of wild lilacs, I closed my eyes savoring its scent. It was like a medicine to my body and soul. I felt relieved instantly and I went ahead cupping some of the petals in my hand.With a handful of them, I walked slowly around, viewing the surrounding hills. I think the scenery and the scent of wild lilacs are the explanation for the kind of comfort I feel here.I was carried away by the scenery and when I came around, I was standing in front of the cave where I had treated the Prince.It was a place I wanted to avoid. I wanted to blot out the memory of that night from my head. My anxiety returned and I stood there staring dreadfully at the entrance of the cave.M
Logan's POVLooking at the Princess leaving, I chuckled and drew Jennifer closer to my chest."So cute," I muttered."Really? Do you like how wild she is?" Jennifer asked, jealousy evident in her voice. I tore my gaze away from the Princess and looked closely into her eyes."I wasn't talking about the Princess. I meant you. You suddenly look so cute and irresistible. Your scent is driving me crazy." Although I said that as a cover-up, I meant all that I said.I snoozed her closer, plastering a kiss on her lips. My heart swelled and couldn't have enough of her.I still couldn't understand the reason for the sudden change but the only prominent change was her scent. It reminded me of our night together and the small doctor. She smelled the same way. Which made me feel uneasy. Anything that involved Jennifer and I always linked us to the small doctor. Like the three of us were intertwined in some ways. I didn't know why that was.I remembered all that happened with the small doctor in t
