Wilder's POV"Blue, wake up." I mumbled into my wife's ears softly, as I stared at her face with loving-filled eyes.I haven't been able to sleep properly since I heard what Hershel said about my Queen's flames. I could not help but wonder what and how she would protect herself, if she somehow finds herself in a dangerous disruption. "Yes, my love." Blue muttered, half asleep while trying her best not to return to the world of dreams. "No. There is no problem at all. Erm... I kind of had a thought about yesterday..." "Wilder, we talked about—" "I know we did. And trust me, this is for your best interest. I just can't help but fear that you might end up in a dangerous situation-" "And I won't end up in one. Why? Because I have you to protect me." She voiced softly, placing both her hands on my cheeks and caressing my cheeks softly. "Yes, I know that. I will never allow harm to come to you ever, Blue." I responded, gazing into her eyes with so much sincerity. "But... I
Blue's POVI showed Wilder all the moves he had taught me, from parrying to sweeping, to blocking. I was pretty sure that at this point I was good at sword fighting now, at least, enough to defend myself. Both Wilder and I went on again with another spar, and although I was very close to getting the wooden sword from him, he stopped me with the tip of his sword pointing at my throat, touching my skin."Ah, I was so close!" I grunted playfully."You have gotten much better now. Way much better. If not for my experience, you would probably be pinning me down right now." He said while I beamed with delight. I love the fact that I was receiving a compliment, and the fact that it was coming from Wilder was a completely different thing. "I have something for you, by the way.""Um, okay." I looked at my wet, damp cloth and shook my head. "I think you might have to let me take my bath first. I have sweat all over me. I need to get out of this clothes."He chuckled."Of course. No problem with
Blue's POV;"He is coming, he is coming to get me. I don't know who he is or what he is. But I know, he would come get me. You should leave Sarah, run as far as you can get. If you don't, he would burn you together with this temple." I whispered, my voice hoarse. "And why does this powerful stranger want to rescue you?" Sarah asked, wiping my hands clean with a towel. She doesn't believe me. I can't blame her for that. What possibly could a blind chained girl know?"I don't know. I don't know why he needs or wants to rescue me, but what I do know is that he would come. My flames can sense him." "Do you know what I think?" She sighed. I could picture her frowning as she said her next words, "I think spending thirteen years in a cage, with no one to talk to has messed up with your head, and your flames." She exhaled even more, her hands reaching out to cup my cheeks... but sadly the metallic helmet covering every bit of my face, stood in the way of her affectionate hands. "I feel sa
Wilder's POV;"How do you know my name?" I asked, shocked that she knows my identity. "My flames, they told me." She answered, her eyes staring into mine. Then I had a realization, "you can't see me?""She's blind. And.. you are the man she's been talking about. You are real." The screaming lady said, standing right outside the cage. "I thought she was going mad.""What? You didn't tell me that she is blind." I uttered, staring at Hershel ignoring the lady."I had no idea, sire." He responded, bowing slightly. "Someone is coming, we should leave." Blue muttered, and I carried her up in my arms immediately, and together we walked out of the cage. We were about leaving the dungeon when the screaming lady said... "I'm coming too." "No, Sarah. You can't. Go live your life. Be happy." Blue countered, as I turned around to face Sarah."No princess, I'm coming with you. How can I live my life, without knowing how you are faring or if you are being treated well. Besides, I do not trust hi
Blue's POV:"I don't like him. Princess. He is dangerous and I can tell." Sarah expressed worriedly, pacing around restlessly.Wilder had taken us to his pack, Night Shade Pack. And a maid led us to the room, that Wilder prepared for me. "How many stairs did we had to climb down, before getting to this room?" I asked, sitting up on the bed, ignoring her restless chants. She halted, "About four. Why do you ask?" "Does this mean our bedroom is like— underground?" "Yes it is." She answered, unsure of where I was headed."What! We are underground???" "Yes we are,. What's wrong with that?" "I don't want to be hidden, Sarah. I have been hidden all my life, and I am not about to continue living that way. I want to be out there in the open!" I declared frowning, folding my hands below my chest. "Are you not listening to me, Blue? We have been taking by a man who we don't even know, what he wants with you, and he has a freaking black hole in his chest!" She paused, "And if he's truly the
Blue's POV;"I can't believe him, Sarah! He is the most annoying human on earth. I hate him!" I exclaimed, pacing around the room angrily. "Who are we talking about?" Sarah asked. "Wilder Reagan." I groaned in annoyance. "Okay... why do you hate him?"I halted, turning to face her. "He threatened to kill you." "What?" She yelled, standing up from the couch she was sitting on. I snapped my fingers, "Exactly! And why? Because I simply requested to have a room up there." I pointed up at the ceiling, "I would have burnt him with my flames, but he has no soul." Or should I perhaps, cut off his head? Nah, he is definitely a skilled warrior and I have no skill in fighting."No soul!" Sarah repeated in exclamation. "I knew it! He is indeed a dangerous man.""Yes he is. He is very dangerous, and if I am not careful I might end up have S. E. X with him.""S. E. X? Sex? You want to have sex with him?" She yelled at the top of her voice, sounding confused. "I think so Sarah. I mean— his vo
Scarlet's POV:"What did you say, Harriet?" I voiced, sitting up on my bed. "That... that there is a rumor, my lady. About... about a girl... that the king brought to the pack." Harriet stammered, kneeling down before me. Standing up, I asked, "The king brought a girl to the pack?""Yes, my lady." "And where is this girl?" "She's at the underground room." I walked around my room slowly, taking in the information my personal help had just passed to me. The king isn't one to just bring any woman to the palace, if he did that... then it means she's important to him. The question now, is.. how important is this woman to him? I can't have anyone lady been so important to him. "And what those these rumors say about who she might be to the king?" "That she might be his Luna." Harriet replied, staring down at her feet. What? Luna??No one owns that position, except me. I am to be his next Luna, and no one else. "Take me to her." I instructed, already walking out the door of my chamb
Wilder's POV;What? I belong to her?? She's audacious. Audaciously cute... 'Don't you dare touch her! I don't care if you don't have a soul, but the moment you lay a finger on her. I will find a thousand ways to kill you, Wilder Reagan.' In that moment, I was much more interested at the way my name rolled out of her beautiful lips, than the threats she made. I had found her extremely attractive.. I don't know why? Was it perhaps... because she is the only woman to have ever threaten me. Every other lady would shiver in my presence including Scarlet(she tries to hide it, but I see her fear) but Blue, she didn't. She looked me in the eye and threatened me. Ha!"Sire." "What the hell, Hershel!" I let out in shock, as his face appeared in front of my eyes bringing me out of my head. "Forgive me, sire. I didn't meant to startle you." He apologized, lowering his head.I closed my eyes, and then opened them. "What is it, Hershel?" I asked, sighing tiredly.He stared at me for a second,

(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
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
(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 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
"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 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.
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
