Semua Bab Dear Ex, Your Father Is My Mate: Bab 91 - Bab 100

- King Marcus -The party went down well and I for the very first time, I sat together with Kira on the royal table. Christine was snuggling in and sat on the next sit, leaving no room for Giselle who did not drag the seat with her.Usually, Giselle would always seat beside me since there was no Luna to take that place but today, Kira and her mother had it to themselves.Kira did not look very comfortable so I allowed the presence of her mother close to her, hoping it would keep her calm which seeemed to help.Cleopatra and Xavier also came to the party. I did not have a say about that though, I mean, I couldn't have asked that they did not come.But this was a family reunion and I would have loved it with just my daughters and Alpha Franklin who is legally my in-law and because he also helped me prepare the party.There was something about Franklin's sister and son that did not settle with me but because I could not tell what it was, I had no right to think otherwise. I had to only t

- Marcus -Giselle walked in, her eyes square with suspicion as she looked from me to Christine."Hi Dad," she greeted, her eyes still full with query."Hi sweetheart," I smiled at her. "You are not asleep yet?""Not yet but in a few minutes. I wanted to see you briefly before going to bed, but I see," she turned to look at Christine, then continued. "I see that you have company.""Actually I was just about to leave," Christine said with an awkward smile on her face. "I will see you tomorrow. Have a lovely night's rest.She waved at me shortly and walked out."Okay?" Giselle raised a brow at me."What?""I see you were having a good time with the mother of your child," she said with a grin."Mother of my child yes," I agreed. "That is a good way to put it.""Uh-Hun," she smiled teasingly, and I shook my head at her."Don't even start with me now," I said lightly. "We were just talking, nothing more.""Alright, I believe you," she raised her hands in mid-air and dropped them back. Deep

- Giselle -"Giselle?" Franklin shook me gently out of my thoughts and I looked at him. "Are you okay? What are you thinking?""Odessa," I muttered under my breath."What?" He looked a bit confused."Odessa, what happened to her?"He was taken aback by the question but braced himself for it."She died in the labor room," he told me sadly. "She lost her life while trying to give life to our child. Sometimes, I feel I was the cause of everything. She did all she could to give me a child because of the pressure of the throne despite the complications. I knew about it, but did not try to prevent her from carrying the pregnancy.""What complications?" I asked him."She was not entirely fit to have a baby. The doctors warned us that there was a fifty-fifty chance of survival if she was going to be put to bed. She did not mind and wanted to have the child which caused her life."No, according to what I just saw now, Odessa did not die naturally during the delivery. She was killed. But I did

- Xavier -She squinted her eyes at me."What do you mean by huh?" She said. "You were not planning to get married to her, were you?""Well..." I dragged."She's not the kind of woman for you, you should know. I have been telling you this and it seems not to get into your head.""Mum, Kira is now a princess," I reminded her."But was once a slave almost all the days of her life. That is already a disqualifier. It would be said of the greatest Alpha that his Luna was once a palace maid. We are not working hard for that kind of report are we?""Anyway," I sighed. "You don't have to beat yourself over it. "I wasn't planning to marry her in the first place. I only needed a woman I would while away time with and she came in handy so...""Good. And very useful now for our plans. I am already making arrangements for the kind of woman I want for you. As for now, you can keep having fun with her. But you will go it differently now and more deliberately because of her status. If she feels she's

- Marcus -There was a hesitant knock on the door which I did not hear at first and had to strain to hear because it was faint.I narrowed my eyes as I wondered who it could be."Who's there?" I asked. "Giselle?"There was silence and that was unusual. I walked to the door and yanked it open. There was Kira, standing there uncertainly.My face softened but with confusion, as I wondered what was the matter with her."You were the one that knocked?" I had to ask to confirm. She nodded her head. "Okay? Come in."I opened the door wider for her. It's not been long since we talked, and she is back here again."Is everything okay, Kira? Please feel free to talk to me. You can tell me anything," I encouraged when I noticed her hesitancy."Well," she cleared her throat. "It's about what we just discussed. I want to confirm something.""Sure go ahead.'"You said you wanted a family time so I..." She paused, took in a deep breath and continued. "I want to know if my mother can come for the dinn
