Jane

Jane's POVIt had only been a week since we moved into the President's Villa, yet it already felt as if we had lived there for months.The halls no longer felt new to me. The gardens had become my favorite place to take morning walks.The new maidens who were assigned to the villa had stopped looking so nervous whenever they saw me. And I had finally begun answering when someone called, "Madam President," without looking around to see if they meant someone else.Life had become normal. Normal. I still smiled whenever I thought about that word.After everything we had been through, having a normal and peaceful life felt like the greatest miracle of all.That afternoon, the sun shone brightly over the gardens. Alana, Lauren, and I had escaped the bustle inside the villa to enjoy tea beneath a large flowering tree. The air smelled of roses and jasmine, and birds hopped across the stone path without the slightest fear of people.Dysebel now had an official office as the minister of gen

Jane's POVThe whole house was as quiet as a graveyard when Liam and I finally retired for the day. He always finished late. And I always waited for him before going to bed. Welcoming him back home every night was something I usually looked forward to even if I would probably be drowsy whenever he returned most times. I slowly untied the ribbon holding my hair in place and let out a long breath.What a day.Life had changed so quickly that sometimes I still found myself wondering if I was dreaming.I looked down for a brief moment, my hand instinctively rested against my stomach.Could it really be true?Alana's words had echoed in my mind all afternoon.You might be pregnant.I still hadn't fully believed it. And I hadn't spoken to a healer yet.There was no certainty, only hope. And somehow hope alone was enough to make my heart race.Across the room, Liam had already changed into a loose tunic. He sat at the small desk near the window with several scrolls spread before him.He s

Jane's POVPregnancy had changed everyone.Not just me.Everyone.If anyone had asked me who had changed the most, I wouldn't have said myself. I would have pointed directly at Liam.The Alpha who once charged into battles without thinking twice now panicked if I carried a basket of apples. The President who faced dangerous political negotiations without breaking a sweat somehow looked terrified whenever I climbed a staircase.It had become... ridiculous.Absolutely ridiculous.The pregnancy had been confirmed by the healers three days ago.I still remembered the way Liam's face had lit up when the elderly healer smiled and said, "Congratulations, Alpha Liam."I thought he would simply smile. Instead, he hugged me so tightly the healer had to remind him I still needed to breathe.After that, the entire household somehow found out before sunset. I still had no idea who spread the news first.Maybe it was the healer. Maybe it was one of the maidens present during the test. Maybe it was

The Coy Maiden

Lauren smiled to herself as she walked along the pathway leading to the gardens.In one hand, she carried a small basket filled with freshly picked flowers. In the other, she held the edge of her skirt as she carefully stepped around patches of damp soil. She looked around, searching for her lady."My lady?"No one answered. "Where could she be?" she muttered to herself as her forehead furrowed into a frown. Yesterday, Jane had asked her to meet in the gardens after breakfast this morning. Or did she misunderstood the message?She sighed softly. "My lady?"Still no one answered. She continued walking, searching and hoping she would eventually find her lady Jane. Unfortunately for her, the gardens were large enough that someone could disappear among the flowering hedges for quite a while.As she rounded another corner, she nearly collided with someone walking from the opposite direction."Oh!"The basket tilted and a few flowers spilled onto the path."I'm so sorry…"She stopped wh

Jane

Jane's POVThe courtyard of the house felt unusually heavy that morning. It wasn't because anything bad had happened.No one was hurt. No enemies stood at our gates. No bad news had arrived from the council.Yet, there was a quiet sadness hanging over the household that even the cheerful morning sun couldn't chase away.Today was the day Alana was returning home.I had known this day would come.From the moment she arrived with me after we met in the forest, she had always said she couldn't stay forever. She had a husband waiting for her, a home to manage, and people who depended on her.Still, knowing something would happen didn't make it easier when it finally did.I stood at the entrance of the villa watching servants load gifts into one of the wagons prepared for Alana's journey.Some were food supplies. Others were bolts of fine cloth. There were baskets of fruits, dried herbs, blankets, and little handcrafted ornaments the maidens had spent days making for her.No one wanted her

Epilogue

Jane's POVPeople always say that time flies when you're happy. I never truly understood what they meant until the last nine months.It felt like yesterday when I had nervously told Liam that I thought I was pregnant.Now, here I was, nine months later… very, very pregnant.If someone had asked me how I felt, I would have answered with one word.Heavy.My back hurts. My feet hurt. Even turning over in bed had become an event that required planning, determination, and Liam's assistance.Still, I had never been happier.One of the biggest changes was that Alana had returned exactly as she promised. She had arrived nearly two months ago with Kira, insisting she wasn't going to miss the birth of her niece or nephew.Immediately she got back, she had practically taken charge of everything. If Liam thought he could order everyone around because he was President, Alana quickly reminded him that sister-in-laws outranked Presidents.Surprisingly, Liam listened most of the time. Well… another b
