Renae’s POV Seated on the prince patio, I tended to his wounds, trying my best not to carelessly touch his body.Reaching for a cotton swab close to his hands, I raised my eyes slowly. His eyes met with mine and for a moment, it felt like I had just jumped into a pool of fireflies. My body heated up to his sudden stare.Immediately, my eyes fell back to his bruises, I hoped he didn’t find me staring. I could face dear penalties for a slight wrong move.I could feel his eyes on me, but I dare not stare back. My eyes hovered around an already treated injury, hoping he could stare away so that I could tend to other injuries.My thumbs swept across his skin which made my skin tingle in so many weird ways. My cheek warmed up to these slight touches, and each time, I fought a grin off my face so he didn't catch me blushing.All of his wounds were tended to, aside from the spot I had been avoiding. It was the wound on his chest where the poisonous arrow had hit him.He removed his shirt, ex

Logan’s POVIt's been two months now. My wounds were almost completely healed but Jennifer kept asking the little doctor to help heal me. As usual, we had just finished our breakfast when the doctor walked in. I was leafing through some paperwork. It's a weekly update from Oasis Pack, the pack I had helped to plant. I have been receiving weekly updates since I left the pack.Jennifer was lying on my lap. She giggled as she tried to feed me with some grapes. I felt irritated by the contact but I held it in as usual."Common Jenny… you know I hate grapes… I hate the sour taste," I chuckled, trying to sound casual."And you know I won't take a no for an answer… They said it's good for quick recovery…" she said as she dressed one half of the grape.“Why don’t we do it this way, for every grape you eat you get a kiss”, I almost choked at the mention of a kiss, I already felt irritated by her touch, so talk more of a kiss."Are you…" I interrupted, but immediately my mouth opened up, she

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 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

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
