(Wilder's POV)Blue and I had decided to take an evening stroll. Without the guards, of course, because I wanted to be alone with my queen.The stars were barely out right now, but they were visible enough to be seen by the eyes. I think it was because of the weather. The cloudy atmosphere made everything look dark, and it was easy to see through the sky."This is my—" I had turned my head to speak to Blue, only to realize she wasn't beside me. Turning back, I found her walking at a really slow speed."Blue, are you fine?" I asked, as I waited for her... She looked so pale and weak that I couldn't help but fear that she could be sick."Yeah, I am fine. It is just a slight headache really. I am fine." She answered, smiling as she nodded her head. "I don't think you are okay, Blue. You look worn out and pale." I remarked, staring at her with concerned eyes. "My dear husband, I am happy that you are worried about my well-being, but trust the words of your wife and believe that she's fi
BLUE’S POV;I lay on the bed, confused by what reason exactly would have made Wilder walk out on me. He was just informed that I was pregnant, joyful news at that and yet… he left?? Is he not happy about it? I thought he said he loved me? Till eternity do us apart, didn’t he think our kids would be part of that love?Sarah was pacing all over the room, carrying a puzzled and troubled expression on her face. She would stop midway, shake her head, hiss, then pace again. It went on for some minutes before she finally stopped and faced me directly."I don't get it. Hershel informed the king that his queen is pregnant and the only way he could react to such good news, was to storm out. How? I really don't get it. Someone needs to make it make sense. Shouldn't the king be happy about being a father soon? Isn't that the normal thing a husband should do when his wife is pregnant? So, what went wrong here just now?" Sarah reacted in an outburst, not caring about the fact that she was talking
Blue's POVThe news was out already. The bellman of the Night Shade pack had gone into the pack and announced to everyone about my pregnancy.And now the gates of the palace had been opened to all. I was dressed in an official white royal dress, and Wilder was seated next to me at my right-hand side."Congratulations your highness, I wish nothing but good health to you and your child." Lord Stephen said, placing a small pouch of gold coins on my feet. It was a tradition that once the queen was pregnant, the people congratulated the queen while laying gifts on her feet. A tradition that I have come to love. Growing up, I didn't really ever get gifts from anyone, so somehow... it feels like this whole tradition is giving me all the gifts I didn't get while growing up. "Thank you, Lord Stephen." I responded back, smiling gratefully. Wilder had appointed new lords, and, of course, they were all far better than the old ones. "I know this isn't much, but please accept this your highness.
"I-I think the queen is sick again. She just collapsed in my hands right now. Find something to give her immediately."Okay... I didn't collapse in your hands. Why is he overreacting? I just felt a bit dizzy, and that was all. "Again?" Hershel remarked, taking me off Wilder's arm and putting me on the bed. He placed two of his fingers on my neck, trying to check my temperature. He did the same thing with his palm on my forehead. He asked me to open my mouth while he checked my tongue, then my eyeballs. Going through all of these, he simply sighed."What's wrong with her? Is she sick again? Is it bad? Talk, Hershel.""It is just normal pregnancy symptoms. There is nothing wrong with the queen. Why do you keep rushing her here for no reason? You did this yesterday, and I told you that nothing was wrong with her." A frustrated and tired Hershel let out, "Besides, I already gave her some herbs that would help tone down the pregnancy symptoms, she is really fine, nephew!" "Well, it looke
(Blue's POV) I smiled on opening my eyes to a new day, my hands instantly reached out to my stomach as I caressed it softly. I can't believe that I am pregnant, and a child lives inside of me. In months to come I will be a mother, and this is something I never thought possible. A few months back, I was in a cage and I had no hope whatsoever. I believed that I was destined to die slowly and become nothing but a memory to those who knew me. I never thought I would find a new home, and I would be loved in that new home. Wrapping my arms securely around my stomach, I mumbled... "Mummy will protect you. And I will be the best mother you can ever wish for. I love you my child." "Now, why don't we go say hi to daddy?" I gently stood up from my bed, wore a more appropriate gown other than my nightwear, then exited my bedroom and quarter. "Your highness, I was just about—" "Where is he?" I asked Rose, cutting her off. "You mean the king?" She asked, coming to a halt
(Blue's POV)"But do you feel any different now? Is the feeling any different from before?" Sarah asked and I smiled.Both she and Rose have consistently been asking me about my pregnancy feelings. It was as though we were both carrying on the pregnancy together. And in a way, we actually were. It is so much that they know exactly how I feel every single day."Not really." I caressed my tummy softly, smiling.It's been a month since I found out I was pregnant with my child, and there has been a wide range of different feelings — from dizziness, to fainting, and eating like a glutton. I mean— I love food, but now... I love it even more. With everyone in my corner, living through it all is not really hard. Especially if the king, my husband, would not stop rushing out of meetings to attend to me. At this rate, the Lords would get fed up."I see." Sarah responded, taking a bite from her biscuit.We were all outside in the garden having a little tea party. I have never really had a tea p
Blue's POVWaking up with a burning hunger in my stomach wasn't my plan when I woke up in the morning, but it happened anyway. I felt hungry, in a way I have never felt before. Because of my flames, I never knew what it felt like to go hungry. I only ate because the food looked good and tasted good, not because I felt hungry. Probably, my hunger is all because of the child inside of me. I can't explain it, but I just know it. I yawned loudly, as I sat up on the bed, then... I stood up and walked over to the window. On opening the curtains, I realized that the sun was already up and hot.This could only mean one thing: I woke up late."Who is there?" I called loudly, staring at my bedroom door. "Yes, your Highness." Two maids rushed into the room immediately at my call, both bowing their heads. "Janice, inform the kitchen to prepare my food. A brunch wouldn't be bad, and you, Racheal, get me ready." "Yes, your highness." They both said in unison, and they both left the room. After
(Wilder's POV)My heartbeat accelerated, faster and faster, with every passing seconds as I carried my wife up in my arms, and teleported her to Hershel's workshop. "HERSHEL!!!!! HERSHEL!!!!!!! WHERE IS HERSHEL?" I shouted at the top of my voice, laying Blue on a small bed in Hershel's inner room. I felt fear, I could taste my own fear. Blue said her fire wasn't working, that she could not produce her flames, and the only time Blue said her flames were no longer working, it was because she was poisoned, and was close to the door of death. So is that what is happening? Has she been poisoned again?? No, no, no please. "GET ME HERSHEL!" I growled, my voice bouncing off the walls and making Hershel's students all scared. They all ran out of the workshop with speed, and I rushed back to Blue in the inner room. "How are you? How... how are you feeling." I whispered softly, holding onto her hand in fear.Blue gazed at me with fear in her eyes, "I am fine, Wilder. But... you don't thin
