All Chapters of Sold to My Ex-Husband's Alpha Father: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The night dragged on and on like a never ending stream, I spent most of the night awake thinking the day had come already. I was growing impatient by the hour but I couldn’t do much, Kael was outside the fortress doing only God knows what while the test results would come in the morning. They were both hundreds of miles away if not thousands, I was more bothered about what the result would say and pissed at Kael’s second attempt at sidelining me. After a long dreary night, I finally had few hours of sound sleep. By the time my eyes were opened, the day was bright and clear, my mind would finally be at rest. I jumped out of bed and ran straight to Kael’s private study, only to find it completely empty. I turned around sharply to find Maddie running after me. “My lady, is anything the matter?” she looked extremely worried, I must have startled the maids and my guards when I sprinted out. I heaved quietly, “what time is it?” “It’s well past morning my lady, but that shouldn’t

I was heaving, close to tears and biting down on my lower lip to control my anger. It was too late to reverse my words so I raised my chin up, waiting for the worst. Kael’s reaction shook me to the core, he chuckled and shook his head. “You still have a lot to learn Queen Selene, how do you want to enact revenge if this is all you do. You can’t expose everything about you and then cower with broken courage when things go wrong.” “That’s not how queens rule Selene, you’ve decided to protect the child you’re carrying, do it from the start. If you can’t protect yourself, how do you want to protect this child.” “How does this even relate to what I’m talking about?” I trembled. “I’m trying to explain to you that the baby I’m carrying doesn’t belong to you.” “Everything I’m saying relates to you’re talking about. Imagine I’m your enemy despite being your alpha and husband, is that how you would go about this news?” “I guess not, that’ll be a different scenario.” I narrowed my eyes in c

I walked back to my chambers with Hadrian following me silently, but I could tell he had something on his mind. His raspy, awkward breathing and quick darting glances gave him off. “I’ve known you for a very long time Hadrian, and I can tell you have something on your mind. Spill it.” “Uncle I have been your shadow heir for fifteen years. You have me and Theo but you choose to risk the queen and her child’s life, honestly I’m curious and worried about it.” Hadrian my nephew, was the product of my brother’s marriage before his untimely death where he was murdered by the cruel blackthorn syndicate. He was raised in the fortress and I have been the only father figure to him, I had no cause to worry about dealing with two vagabonds. Hadrian was extremely loyal to the core and saw every good will extended to him as a privilege and not his right. If Selene and her baby did not exist, he would be the one to take over the Obsidian throne and rule the kingdom. I would die happy know

The night came as quickly as the day went by; I felt both a strange mix of excitement and a streak of nervousness as I made plans to visit Selene. I haven’t felt this way for the past twenty years and it made me extremely uncomfortable. I counted the ticking Selene’s schedule on the clock carefully, her bath and dinner time until I was sure it was okay for me to go to her chambers.The walk through the hall felt like an unending journey, the famed quote of the ‘journey of a thousand miles’ was the perfect fit to this situation. With each step I took, I would feel an increasing discomfort and nervousness; it was as if the halls were elongating itself. It was ironic the more I thought of the amount of anxiety and discomfort I had received in just a few hours, laughable even that a king known throughout the continent far and wide for being ruthless, cold and menacing is close to cowering before the woman he bought over.But her doggedness and strength was one thing about her that was b

I stood outside the pack house waiting for the elders to be done with their annoying meeting. After Dorian introduced me to them, I never had it in thoughts to he present with them. It would be a complete eyesore and a silly tale that the future Luna was seen conversing so loosely with her subjects. How irritating! There was no need to do that anyways, I had a lot to implement, information to be dugged out and actions to be carried out. That would not be possible if I did it all by myself, time was not on my side either. I needed an inside person, someone who had an access to the fortress; a candidate that would prove his capabilities. Everyone has a price to pay so I don't need to bother myself with his moral standings, my offer would always be irresistible so it would not take long before he falls right into my hands. The meeting came to an end eventually and as the elders filed out, my eyes was set on my choice candidate. I ignored some elders whom I didn't fancy much and merely
