Semua Bab Alpha King's Human Mate: Bab 131 - Bab 140

The morning after had been gloomy and eerie. Last night's ordeal was not one anyone planned for. The sight of Saoirse's body still haunted me, and it didn’t help that I had to sleep alone, as Orpheus had been up all night, trying to make the best of the situation.Though Godiva and Josiana had stayed in one of the spare bedrooms on the seventh floor, a door away from mine, it didn’t stop me from being haunted by the nightmare of the night before.The palace had been filled with whispers as people murmured amongst themselves, pondering what could be the cause.Though Orpheus had given a command to the worker for what happened to be kept amongst themselves, I was certain it wouldn’t be long before it reached the ears of the people beyond the palace walls.It didn’t help that today happens to be my prenatal check-up. I had told him he didn’t have to come with me, and I didn’t mind going alone while he took some rest, but Orpheus refused, saying he didn’t want to miss out on any chapter o

Micaela’s POV.As thunder rumbled in the sky, heralding the arrival of the heavy raindrop, the night grew eerily silent.I was covered in my own sweat and completely drenched. On the tip of my tongue was the need to cry and scream. I forced air back into my lungs with a quick, deep inhalation. However, the harder it got, the more I tried.My eyes closed as I took in a deep, sharp breath. My feet padded to the bed as I lay down on it, and, crossing my legs, I closed my eyes.I cried out in agony, doubling over and intermittently coughing. Unexpected tears stream down my face, and I sense that despair and anguish are engulfing me. Nothing I can do will take the edge off the excruciating ache.Josiana leaving the way she did still felt like a dream to me.I wished someone would jump out, shouting that all that had transpired since Saoirse had been discovered was nothing more than a prank. that everything was normal."Why?" I cry.The door to the bedroom opens abruptly, and a figure steps

"Omelia." I voiced out after coming out of my shock. "What are you doing here?""What else would I be doing in the palace? I'm from the royal family, which means I have every right to be here.""Maybe, but why the sudden reappearance after disappearing for nearly four to five months now?" I asked with a raised brow, walking back to where Orpheus was, my gaze not shifting from her."I didn’t realise I was under some sort of interrogation." Omelia scoffs, giving me a hard glare.I guess some things will never change. Maybe a part of me thought the only reason she stayed away was because she felt guilty. But clearly, her resolve towards me still remained the same."I don’t know why you are here, but you are very much not welcome here." Orpheus spat out; his eyes hardened."I haven’t seen you for nearly five months, and the first thing you say is how unwelcoming I am here. You sure do know how to make your mother feel special.""Sadly, I don’t have one." Orpheus counters. "No mother would

I lay on the bed, wide awake and unable to sleep. The trial was a few hours away, and I couldn’t help but ponder if I was indeed making the right decision to go ahead with it or not.A part of me wants to be selfish, putting Orpheus and me first and our happiness first. But another part just couldn’t, knowing I wouldn't be able to do away with the guilt. I had a responsibility to uphold, even more so after what happened to Saoirse and Josiana.Taking a deep breath, I turned over to my side, my gaze resting on Orpheus’s sleepy form. His brows were creased together, and even in his sleep, I could tell he was worried.I reach over, gently tracing the curves of my mate's sleeping face. There's a light stubble over his cheeks, creating a roughness that I adore whenever he kisses me.His long lashes curl up at the end, framing his blue eyes that are peacefully closed. I leaned forward, pecking his forehead, before quietly slipping out of bed.Just like any other night these past few days, I

Orpheus and I stood at the entrance of the palace; he had suggested taking a walk to help get my mind off things. It has been four days since the trial, with the second and last set to take place tomorrow.There hasn’t been any news concerning Omelia since the night she appeared. It was like she had vanished all over again, and though Loukas has been keeping an eye on Neve, there hasn’t been any change or any indication that she might know where Omelia is.Orpheus's hand on mine brought me out of my thoughts, and I smiled at him as we made our way into the woods. Once we got in, he made his way to a tree, emerging minutes later as Sliver.He walks over to me, his height towering over mine, before leaning for me to get on his back. I did as he instructed, holding tightly to his as he ran through the woods. The cold breeze of the night fanned against my skin, causing a tingle around my body.I wasn’t sure for how long we ran, but I was having a blast. Orpheus came to a stop, halting in
