Semua Bab The Rogue King's Cursed Mate : Bab 71 - Bab 80

˙❥ “I brought you here so you will remember your place. The place you came from. The place you belong.” Noura's words struck a chord in my head. Her voice was loud, and sharp. “You don't belong in the Grim-Fang Pack. You were just privileged so don't waste those privileges." The ride back to the Pack was unbelievably quiet. The darkness roamed over the earth with little to no stars to guard the carriage. The half-crescent moon glowed weakly. And Noura sat at the far end, her eyes staring into the sky. Her window was open, as a soft breeze wafted through it into the carriage. I guess she didn't get the reaction she wanted. She wanted me to break. To cry so hard. But broken things can't be broken twice. I was feeling sleepy again, and hungry. My hands rubbed my tummy and reality kicked in. The past hours at the Auction felt like Day 1. The day I was bought by Ryker that I had forgotten so much had happened after that. Now, I am pregnant with his child. Seated in the carriage wit

˙❥It's been a week. The fainting episode had reduced. But what hadn't, was the constant throwing up.Worse, the bump was starting to show.The scent mask Aurora gave me would lose its effect soon and there was no need for it.Worried etched in my mind, my brain foggy and bland.There was nothing I hadn't thought of.Nothing to make this journey easier.“If you won't stop thinking hard, it will take a toll on your baby and your health.” Azira walked into the room, holding a mop stick. “Sienna and her cohort are beginning to ask questions,” she added, calmly, as if what she just said was light.“Like?” My eyes grew in size.“Why are you always sick? Why is Lady Aurora frequenting our room? Worse…” Azira paused, the tension growing thick and pressing.“Why were you vomiting so much the other day and also today?”A gasp flew out of my mouth.“What do I do?” My breath drew out low, and shaky.“Calm down. It's just speculations.” “It isn't. It isn't, Azira.” I wanted to scream. "The momen

★ RYKER I could only look at her as I swallowed the words burning on the tip of my tongue. My eyes closed then opened. I heaved, “You could have just told me what she did and I would put her in prison myself.” Noura whipped her head from the dresser. “You would have? I doubt it.” “Why?” I stood behind her, collected the brush from her grip, and held a fistful of her hair. It felt smooth, and soft within my palm. A small, silent groan slips from her lips as my fingers brush the edge of her scalp. “Because she's your slave, and you have a soft spot for her.” She was right. But it's because she's my mate. Nothing else. If she weren't, I wouldn't have dreamed of buying her in the first place. The lie tasted sour. My marriage to Noura has been nothing but chaos. Just yesterday, her father had called me to tell me they would be coming for a meeting. All point to get a response from Noura as to why the sudden visit proved abortive, only to wake up to the news that Valkyrie has been

˙❥My eyelid fluttered to the loud sound of the keys. I trailed my head, slowly and it met green ones.The small light of the morning sun peeking from the window glazes her face, and I notice how tired she looks. She must have been worried.“Azi—”Her arms wrapped around me even before I could finish.The tears behind her eyes fell freely, and my heart squeezed.“Why are you crying?” I whispered, wiping the warm liquid from her face.She glanced back, then to me.A guard was standing at the door of the prison, his face clad. His face is stoic, poised, and cold.“Alpha Ryker told me to come meet you. Only for a brief moment.”“He did?” “Yes.” She looked behind again, eyes frantic and moving. “We really need to get you out of here.”“But how? Alpha Ryker wouldn't help. He said I am the cause of everything. My voice betrayed me as tears gathered behind my eyes.“That asshole.” Azira cursed, tapping my shoulder gently.“I would get the keys, then get you out of here.”“That's risky, Azi.

˙❥ We camped in the woods until Skye announced it was time to leave. In a few minutes, the moon will be fully illuminated. Azira stretched her arms and pulled me to my feet. We need to go to the Pack's field without being seen. She moved quickly through the forest, and just after a few walks, we were standing in the field. “Where do we go from here? I could be seen by anyone.” “Maybe we should stop hiding. I don't think Noura would want to cause a scene in a night like this.” Azira muttered, dragging my arms to follow her lead. “Let's stay behind that tall tree.” She pointed. “See you both later.” Skye gave Azira a quick kiss before running off in the other direction. I watched his back until he disappeared into the darkness. “Won't he attend the celebration? Are guards not permitted?” I turned to Azira, whose eyes were keen on the path. “He will. He has to finish a few things.” We steadied under a big oak tree. Even the trees seemed to stand a little still as if they we
