I racked desperately through my wardrobe searching for a suitable dress, how didn't I think of this before now? Malik is taking me to go see his parents and I wanted to look presentable and someone outside of a servant. I had no other dress aside my maid uniforms which were rags and there was no way I'm letting myself be introduced to Malik's parents and my future in-laws wearing that. I can't believe how fast everything is pulling along, and soon enough, Malik and I will get married and I'll move from being the lowly maid to the pack's Luna. A sudden gentle knock on the door pulled me out of my chain of thoughts. I hurried my steps towards the door and pulled it open only to behold the strange face of a young man, surprisingly, he had a warm smile on his face. "Greetings from Alpha malik, he wants you to have this," he said passing over a pretty looking bag to me. "It's a dress for you," he added. "Thank you," I nodded at him and made to lock the door, but surprisingly he held it open with his leg. "Uhm... Is there something else you want me do for you?" I arched my brow at him. He chuckled lightly, stepping fully into the room. "Actually, yes, I think you can help me with something." And in a swift move, he grabbed me, pulling me against his body, and held his arm tightly against my neck, I could barely breathe. "I'm sorry, you seem like a sweet innocent girl, but I don't have a choice." He whispered in my ear. He suddenly pulled out a syringe and held it against my neck. "Wh... What are you doing? Please no!" I chocked. "You don't have to worry love, I'm not killing you, I'm just putting you to a little nap, you'll be awake in the next couple of hours," And with that, he pressed the syringe into the skin of my neck and released. I felt my head bubble endlessly, my eyes blurred and my body numb, slowly, darkness enveloped me. ** My eyes suddenly snapped open as I heard a loud bang on the door, my entire body ached badly. The loud knock came again on the door and I quickly sat up in an attempt to run to the door, only for the duvet to fall off my body and holy crap! I was naked. What the hell? How is that even possible? Suddenly, I felt a slight movement beside me and turning around, a loud scream almost fled my mouth. There was a man laying beside me, totally naked and seemed to be deep asleep, unbothered. What the hell is happening? He stirred again, turning fully around and my eyes fell on his face. It was familiar. Suddenly, like a crazy lightning, flashes from the early hours of the day came clashing through my head. This strange man came to my house with a dress from Malik. Then he grabbed me and then... The syringe! No! What has he done to me? Just as I raised my hand to tap him awake, the door suddenly bursted open and a bunch of guards trooped in. "Alpha Malik was scared something might have happened to you, he waited and you didn't show up." One of the guards blurted. He suddenly paused on his track, dragging his gaze towards the naked stranger laying beside me. "What is happening here?" He mumbled. "I don't know either, please you have to believe me." My voice quivered as I spoke. "I guess you were too deep into your treacherous act that you forgot you had an important appointment." Another one of them chirped and my heart skipped a beat. They are beginning to believe this? No! Scared and extremely terrified, tears were beginning to well up in my eyes as I shivered uncontrollably. I couldn't hold back anymore, I held onto the sheets that I was using to shield my nakedness, soul shattering wail rolled out of my throat. "What's going on here?" I heard a male voice among the voices beginning to draw closer to me. The deep voice rang in my ears, a voice I could never misinterpret, it was him. Malik. I hastily looked up hoping to run into his arms for safety only to behold the biggest terror of my life. He was standing few feet away from me with the coldest look I have ever seen in his eyes, Chloe stood beside him, panic written all over her face. I could hear loud pronounced footsteps approaching too, just a blink of my eyes and I was suddenly surrounded by a quarter of the pack members, it was like someone had already alerted them before it even happened. What have I done?

Rejected and Banished; The kids are his. Chapter three hundred and twenty two.
Eva's POV.By the time the sound of the council bell faded, the sky had already turned the colour of deep iron. From the balcony outside my rooms I could see the torches being lit along the palace wall, one after another, small blooms of fire pushing back the dusk. I knew where he was. The elders’ chamber always left the same look on his face when he returned... like a man who had been staring at the heart of a storm too long.I stayed near the window until I heard the door open.Nicklaus came in without a word, closing the door behind him with a slow click. His cloak was damp at the hem and the air around him still carried the chill of his usual state after each meeting with the elders.“Did they listen?” I asked softly.He gave a small, humorless laugh and started unfastening the clasps of his cloak. “They listened. Whether they understood, that’s another matter.”He hung the cloak on the stand by the fire and stood for a moment, staring into the flames. The golden light traced the
Rejected and Banished; The kids are his. Chapter three hundred and twenty one.
The doors of the council chamber creaked open on their ancient hinges, and a gust of cold air swept through the room. Nicklaus entered alone. His cloak of deep black brushed the floor; he did not glance left or right as he walked the long aisle toward the dais; the twelve elders were already seated, their gray eyes following him like wary owls. He stopped at the base of the dais, folding his hands behind his back. For a long moment he said nothing. Only the low crackle of torch-flame and the faint rustle of robes disturbed the stillness.When he finally spoke, his voice was quiet but filled the hall. “You’ve all been waiting for this summons. You’ve all had questions about my child. Tonight you’ll have your answers.”Elder Kruger cleared his throat and leaned on his cane. “Your Majesty,” he said, his tone absolutely carefully, “the pack speaks only from concern. We have seen… signs; the people are only uneasy.”“Uneasy,” Nicklaus repeated. He let the word sit between them, his amber
Rejected and Banished; The kids are his. Chapter three hundred and twenty.
Eva's POV.A full year had passed, yet sometimes I still woke in the middle of the night half expecting to find Nicklaus hunched by the window again, whispering his wild promises to the moon. But he hadn’t broken another promise since that night. Somehow, impossibly, he had done it.The school stood now on the eastern ridge of the pack lands, from the castle balcony I could see its spires glinting in the sun, Valmor rippled proudly in the wind, and beyond them stretched the crowd: parents, travelers, and children of every shape and gift, all gathered for this day.I still could hardly believe he’d done it.Nicklaus had vanished for months at a time during that year, crossing mountains, deserts, and corners I’d only heard of in stories. Each time he returned, there was a new scar on his hand, but in exchange he always got what and who he'd gone after. Whether it's an ancient seer, a forgotten warlock, or a moon-priestess, a scholar from the ruins of the west. One by one, they had foll

Eva's POV.I don’t know what woke me, maybe the cold, or maybe the silence that had settled too perfectly over the room. For a long moment, I lay still, staring at the ceiling above.Then I turned my head and found his side of the bed empty.Nicklaus sat by the window, his robe half undone, his hair disheveled, and yet he looked more regal in that quiet than he ever did on the throne.Something about the way he sat, elbows on his knees, fingers interlaced, head bowed slightly told me that his mind was far away.I pushed the blanket aside and stood. The floor was cold beneath my feet, I wrapped my shawl around my shoulders and walked softly toward him.“Nicklaus,” I said gently.He didn’t turn immediately. His gaze stayed fixed outside, on the moonlit courtyard below. Only when I touched his shoulder did he glance at me, and even then, his eyes looked distant, as if they’d been somewhere far, far away.“Couldn’t sleep?” I asked softly.He shook his head. “No.” His voice was rough, carr
Rejected and Banished; The kids are his. Chapter three hundred and eighteen.
Eva's POV.Nicklaus sat by the window, elbows resting on his knees, his eyes fixed on the fading moon. He hadn’t spoken much since the morning council. I didn’t need to ask why. The whispers about our child had reached the outer courts now, spreading like wildfire.But at that moment, all I could think of was the faint hum that pulsed through the room, It came from the cradle beside my bed. My baby... our miracle, slept so peacefully, unaware of the fear her existence was stirring outside these walls.Then came the knock.It didn't sound like that of a servant. I turned, heart tightening even before I opened the door.Renna stood there, her cloak dark with travel dust, and her eyes glinting with something I couldn’t read.“Renna,” I whispered, relief washing over me for a heartbeat. She looked weary, but she managed a faint smile.“Your Majesty,” she said softly, bowing her head before glancing past me toward the cradle. “May I come in?”Nicklaus rose immediately. “You came sooner tha
Rejected and Banished; The kids are his. Chapter three hundred and seventeen.
The council chamber was colder than usual.Not because of anything, but because of the weight of the eyes fixed on Nicklaus. Nicklaus stood at the head of the long obsidian table, arms crossed, every muscle tight with patience he didn’t truly feel.The elders had been whispering for weeks. He’d heard it in the corridors, caught glimpses of their anxious faces, the way their conversation always hushed when he entered a room. But today, they weren’t hiding it.Elder Kruger, the oldest among them, leaned forward first. “My King,” he began, his tone careful, “forgive our intrusion into personal matters… but the council needs clarity.”Nicklaus didn’t respond. He simply looked at him, the kind of look that had once made grown men fall silent on battlefields.Kruger cleared his throat. “There have been sightings. Disturbances, they say, and all near the palace grounds.”Nicklaus arched an eyebrow. “You believe the forest misbehaves because of my daughter?”Another elder, newly elected coun
