After some more begging and doubtful assurances, Anthony made up his mind and succumbed to his queen’s wishes. He had no idea on what the king would say to him when he knows this but for some reason, he understood the queen. He has been a witness himself of the sad and long nights the queen had to endure because of her pregnancy. She couldn’t go wherever she wants, couldn’t even eat whatever she craved. Everything was delineated.“We’ll leave an hour before midnight, my queen. I’ll pick you up from your room. Don’t forget to wear the hoodie. The one you used before.”Harper’s eyes twinkled with the great news. Alas, she has an accomplice to actualize her plans!“Thank you, Anthony. I will forever look at this as an eternal debt.”She stood up and shook Anthony’s hand. After some more clarifications on their agreement, Anthony left the queen’s room and went back to his daily task. At the back of his mind was worry that somehow, someone from the camp may see them and tell the king. Bu

She’s never seen a night as dark as this. The trees appear like ghostly shadows over faint moonlight. The wind was nowhere, making the stillness create an eerie experience for someone who fears for her life. The pregnancy was making Harper move with difficulty and more care. She concealed her bump under the hood, with her back pack slipped on both her shoulders. It felt twice the struggle, but she’s determined to leave. Alora has gone back to the camp shortly after Harper left. She had to stop and got rid of the mud on her sandals’ soles because it’s making it extra heavy. That caused her delay. When she came back to the camp, Alora noticed that the light on the wolf queen’s room was on. From the windows, she peaked inside on whether Harper was still awake or not. What she saw was an open cabinet where the queen’s things were, only that this time, it’s empty. Then by that, she knew her plans were starting to unfold. Finally.“What are you doing here, miss Alora?”Or so she thought

Five minutes from now, Damon and Asher would reach the camp and the enthusiasm was getting ahead of the Lycan king. It has only been 24 hours but he longed to see the pregnant queen and kiss her belly. A tradition for him. “Thank you for keeping me company, Asher. I feel like I haven’t thanked you enough.”Asher was only two steps behind of the king, still trying to catch up mobile signal so he can notify Alora that they’re close to the camp. He was waving his phone all around, catching up any signal so he could send a message. He has been failing to find one since they entered the forest.“Don’t mention it my king. It’s what I came here for.”The king nodded. Finally, he saw the roofs of the houses of the camp, with the common room towering over the rest. A smiled flashed on his face. He brought some wild, glowing flowers from the Woodfawn as a present to the queen. She’s a fan of flowers and the rarity of this one would surely make her blush. “We’re almost there. Come on.”He quic

Harper woke up with the sound of crackling fire and sizzling pans. She has no watch nearby but the blinding sunlight from the windows told her it wasn’t long before high noon. To add, the sounds of cars hurrying to their destinations weren’t much of a lullaby either. “Good, you’re awake.”A voice of a woman woke her up, together with the gentle pat of her hair. Harper opened her eyes to see Mrs. Keevah smiling down at her. Her hair was pulled up on a bun and she was wearing a red apron. That’s why the pans were noisy, she thought. “Was I sleeping long?” – she asked, looking at the window and the bright sun outside.“It’s fine. You needed rest. I apologize for bringing you to the market.”Harper frowned, recollecting what has happened before she fell asleep. It didn’t take her long to realize that she was indeed sick. She remembered she was waiting for Mrs. Keevah in a chair outside the wet market but her pregnancy got in the way. She felt extra sensitive with the smell and she could

The fear in Laura’s body was consuming her as she felt her heart on her throat. The howl was loud and long, but when it was over, she opened her eyes and saw that the king didn’t move. She looked at her body and saw that there was no injury. She was unharmed.The same reaction was mirrored on Alora who frowned and stepped in for a closer look.“Did I miss something?” – Alora asked. As much as she was expecting screams and blood splattered on the wooden walls of the cabin, much was her disappointment to see that none of that happened. Instead, Laura knelt on the same spot. Unscathed.“I don’t understand, my king… She deserves some punishment!” – Alora shouted, pointing a finger at Laura. Laura gave her a sideways glance. Why is she really pursuing for a punishment? Isn’t Harper being gone satisfactory enough for her evil heart?“My king…” – Laura started, but she has no idea on what succeeding words should she say next. As if to answer the confusion among the three, Damon reverted t
