Marc's face hardened, and a flicker of worry crossed his eyes. “I'll be there shortly,” he replied, his voice filled with determination.Luke nodded and quickly exited the room, leaving Marc and me alone once again. We exchanged a knowing look, understanding the gravity of the situation.“I guess we'll have to continue this later,” Marc said, a hint of disappointment in his voice.I nodded, my heart still racing from the intensity of our moment. “We will, Marc. But right now, your duty calls.”He kissed my forehead gently before heading towards the door. “I'll be back as soon as I can, Harlow. Stay safe.”With those words, he left the room, leaving me with a mix of emotions. I couldn't help but feel a twinge of worry about Marc and what the council elders might have in store for him.I decided not to be too worried and just waited for him in the study room, when a sewing book of his caught my attention and I could help but take it.I opened the book, and it was a drawing book, and it

As Marc and I woke up,we shared a tender moment together, our love filling the room.we decided to take care of ourselves that morning and told the maids not to bother with our usual routine. Instead, we chose to bathe each other, reveling in the intimacy and closeness that we shared.As the warm water cascades over our body, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of peace and contentment. Marc’s gentle gentle touch as he washed my hair, his finger massaging my scalp, made me feel cherished and loved. And in return, I took my time to cleanse his body, letting my hands roam over his skin, reminding him of his desire and adoration I held for him.After our bath, we dressed and made our way to the dining room for breakfast. As I walked through the hallways, I overheard the whispers of the maids. I could sense the curiosity and intrigue in their voices as they discussed our intimate morning routine. But I chose to ignore their gossip, knowing that our love was something beyond their understandin

I looked back up at Jade and she was already crying… I moved closer to her and hugged her body tightly,I patted her back gently and relaxed her head in mine, “where is this child of ours that you had for another man?” I asked after thinking about it for a while and was not able to come up with a good answer.“He…he is dead, I couldn’t protect him.” She muttered to me, and tears began to pour even more than before.“Was the father aware?” I asked again, hoping she wouldn't get offended by my question, but all I heard was her sniffing in the tears.“He… I don’t know who he is, and you are the only one I am telling this to, even Marc didn't know about this before marrying me as his bride…. I cried for many nights and that’s why Marc thought I never loved him, not aware that I loved him too much as he was my savior and the only time I ever cried so bitterly was when I tried multiple times and still couldn’t give birth to any child for him…” jade said as the tears became more heavy, and I

I slowly became tired of all the speech Marc gave in his drunk state and stood up about to leave when I suddenly felt someone pulling me back and when I turned it was Marc and that was enough to get all the wives attention and mostly Blair, I tried to pull away from him thinking it was just him being drunk and was acting up.“Marc, let go.” I said, but it sounded more like a plea tab, an actual conversation.“I can’t, you are all I have left, I can’t just let you leave. The others stay here pretending to love me. You are the only one to love me and care for me being myself and not because I was the alpha who had miraculously come to save you just like others.” Marc says in a drunk state, and I couldn’t help but to look up at the other’s. They all seemed sad at his words and I knew what he was saying was nothing but the truth and even Jade who was the only one to confide in never said she loved him for who he was, but instead it was because he had saved her when she needed someone t

Harlow's POVI got frightened at the sight before me. I didn't know Blair could go this far."What do you think you're doing? Don't tell me you're the mastermind of this?" I muttered in shock." Common one, I can be that stupid, no matter how I really want to deal with you, I can't go to this length." Blair replied with a sly smirk displayed on her face. I don't trust her, not even in this situation.I looked at Marc who was still resting in my arms and wondered what I was going to do with him."Why is there a sword in your hand?" I asked curiously, obviously not minding the innocent look on her face.I noticed that Marc was beginning to get himself which got me a little bit excited. I looked backwards only to realize that the rogues were still fighting to come in."What's going on? It's so noisy here." Marc said clearly showing that he has gotten himself a little bit. "We were attacked by rouges my Lord...." Blair said quickly, interrupting whatever I had to say."What do you mean
