All Chapters of Sold to My Ex-Husband's Alpha Father: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The palace was abuzz with activities, the more the days of the baby’s announcement party approached, the more the tension in the air rose. Everyone was busy with one task or the other just to make sure the event would turn out to be perfect, one would think the preparations was for a known important personality. But then it was important to everyone that was related to the royal family, except those who opposed the decision of the alpha king. I was with queen Selene the entire time, making sure she never left my sight. I felt the more the fortress became busy, the more she was at great risk. She in turn made sure she was unavailable most of the time to the cabinet members who had tried to pay a visit so I was at rest a little bit. King Kael had been more attentive and lively ever since Selene’s presence, it was strange and pleasant at the same time to see a different side of him. He smiled more, opened up a little to the challenges he had faced at most times. After the first tea m

I had eventually bought Christopher over in the hopes that I would rescue his family from their clutches, it seemed unreasonable to make such promises but I had to take extreme measures to get what I want. All this while I kept Dorian in the dark, if he could not acquire such information by himself then I can’t be the one to aid his slothfulness. “There’s nothing current, we all know the fortress is now occupied with plans on how to counter the blackthorn syndicate.” It was our third meeting after I succeeded in winning him over, we sat in a simple but rundown café outskirts of town; a perfect disguise for personalities like us. I stared outside the café in frustration, if Christopher was lying about not having anything tangible to offer me, then he should be well aware he’s playing with wrong person. With a chuckle I turned back to him, “you do know I can get whatever I want myself right?” “I swear upon the moon goddess name that I would never do that.” “Do what?” I cut in. “I

The more Dorian remembers Selene, the more I lose my chances at becoming Luna. I knew I made the right choice last night when I went out to see lady Vespera, she said she would definitely help me when I have done my part and that would be at the party. Her role would be very instrumental in me becoming the queen in due time since her own time has been destroyed by her own hands. I wonder what trump card she possessed. Dorian on the other hand was becoming a problem; he made my seeming efforts to place him on the throne futile. I was running out of patience as his negligence and ignorance spoilt whatever progress I achieved. I decided to confront him about it; if he wouldn’t be part of my plans then he should as well be laid off. I sat at the vanity as we both prepared to go to sleep; he got dressed, made the bed and walked towards me. He placed his hands gently on my shoulders and massaged them gently, leaning towards me, he whispered, “Are you ready for bed?” his nose caressed my

I stood in front of the vanity as Maddie and Barbara added the accessories and jewelries to my dress. It reminded me of the first night when I came to the fortress. That day, I didn’t care about my future or how Kael was going to treat me, I just didn’t want to see Dorian’s face or that of my family. But now things were different, with every turn of event I fought myself from falling deeper and deeper for Kael to no avail. I’m finding myself praying deeply everyday. This becomes real, beyond the fake arrangement and certificate. I hope I don’t have to defend myself in front of the crowd that would be present tonight. Kael walked into my chamber, “my lady, are you ready to go?” “Yes, but I must warn you that I am feeling extremely nervous.” I said with a sly smile. He took my hands, kissed them and returned the smile, “that should not be a problem. Just stay by my side and you will be fine. By the way, you are ravishingly beautiful. You’d definitely kill it.” I blushed, “thank you

A big blow has landed right in our faces, my eyes darted around the room to see what I can do to curb the already spreading damage but it was too late. King Kael stood still but his expression was different, it was as though he had it all planned out. My eyes connected with Hadrian and Bram at the same time but they were as helpless as I was, I turned to King Kael again. I wasn’t sure if he was going to step in or let queen Selene have the show again as she did when Dorian made attempt to insult her, but Queen Selene wasn’t looking like she was ready to seize the day as she had done before. I prayed desperately that something miraculous would occur, either king Kael would step or I would damn the consequences of insubordination and save her myself. Moving closer to the scene, queen Selene stood there transfixed unable to say a word. Her palms shook terribly and had a frown she used to mask her wild mix of emotions, this was unlike her but she had been agitating towards making the p
