Lahat ng Kabanata ng Dear Ex, Your Father Is My Mate: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

- Xavier -I was faster to catch up with Princess Zeba before she disappeared into her room."What?" She turned round to face me with a frown on her face. I chuckled as I approached her."Keep it down," I said. "We are not fighting now are we?""What do you want?" She was still unsmiling."I know you don't like me," I told her casually as if I didn't care that she didn't. "And I might say that the feeling is mutual but it can't be that bad. I'm sure we still have a few things in common.""Look I don't have any time to waste with you. I have more important things to deal with and worry about.""Like trying to get my father's attention", I asked her and her face fell."What's that supposed to mean?" Her voice fell as well."I mean, you seem to have another reason for coming down here because you seem to be so free with him more than usual.""Your father and I have known each other for many years now. We trained together so we are friends," she defended."Oh well, if you say so. I'm just

- Zeba -When the princess came in, everyone had their eyes on her with what seemed to be admiration. I haven't seen them look at me that way before. I had no doubts that they honored me of course, but with Giselle, it was... different.But not to worry, I told myself. It wouldn't last for long. Whatever they felt about her will soon wear away.I wouldn't have had any problems with her if she had known her place and kept to it but since she wants to run her mouth, I might as well as shut it for her.After all, the little girl has no mother so I am not surprised she lacks manners.I have a million and one ways to deal with people but I will only give her a taste of what I can do. I waited for the right moment.But while the conversations went on, I couldn't help but notice it was geared towards her. All the noblemen began to talk to her about their proposals and plans and I got more infuriated.It was from the conversation I got to know that she might not be as simple as I thought she

- Franklin -I watched as her face fell and the smile faded off. She pushed my hand off her body roughly as if I was the one trying to invade without her permission."How dare you," she said in a fierce whisper. "How could you say such horrible things to me after seeing my nakedness.""I am only telling you the truth," I replied. "And I did not ask you to take off your clothes for me. It's the last thing on my mind."She hurriedly picked her robe sprawled on the ground and wore it back, her eyes looking at me furiously.Her chest heaved with anger but I looked at her calmly."Zeba I hope you understand me. I am not trying to use you nor take advantage of you, I...""Who is she?" She interrupted me."Who?" I was genuinely confused."The lady who is making you reject me, Franklin. Who is she?""I didn't say there was a lady...""Franklin don't take me for a fool," She half yelled. "I am not dump. I know what I am saying. Who the hell is she.""You need to calm down...""You are not goin

- Giselle -I did not pay attention to most of the conversation in the room as I battled with my drowsiness, suppressing my yawn.I was tired from doing nothing and I couldn't wait to get back to my bed. I was almost detached from my environment.Zeba kept glancing at me from time to time but couldn't care less. She picked a drink in front of her and walked towards me."Giselle, why are you so quiet," she asked cheerfully as she approached me. I eyed her suspiciously. Her decisive steps suggested she was up to something.She stood beside me and nudged me."Why are you holding in, is anything the matter?" She asked with a smile."I'm fine," I replied grudgingly as I tried to move away."You don't look fine," she held me back. "Here, you should have a drink.""No," I shook my head but she brought the cup to my face. Immediately, the nausea that had been lingering in my belly rose like tides of water.I ran away with my hand over my mouth and the other on my belly. I was sure eyes follow

- Franklin -"I am the one responsible," I said, and all heads turned to me. There was a dead silence in the room."Did I hear you well, Alpha?" One of the elders said."You did."I couldn't stand there and hear them say things about Giselle. There was no point hiding after all. She is pregnant and that's my child. And I am no coward. I will not shy away from the responsibility because I am afraid of what people will say.I am not afraid of anyone and don't care."Father?" Xavier threw his mouth open. "No. I know it's not true. I know also that you like Princess Giselle and that's why you have always wanted her as a bride for me. But you cannot defend her to this extent. You can't try to cover her shame by claiming you're the father of her child.""You are mistaken, son," I replied calmly. "I am not trying to defend her. I am taking responsibility for what belongs to me.""What you are trying to say is, you slept with the princess?" He asked and I scoffed. That was a ridiculous questi
