BETROTHED TO THE ALPHA

Days past turning into weeks and King Archer wasn’t still back, I had waited for him but still no signs of him coming back.

I fought all negative thoughts and didn’t want to believe that he is in any form of trouble as I lay on the bed with my eyes focused on the ceiling and my ears listening to all the advice from the midwife, I must say… Ever since a midwife was appointed to me the pregnancy process has been quiet easy with the exercises she made me do and all.

Most importantly the cravings where now better cared for.

“My Queen I’m done here for today, I will see you tomorrow” The midwife said lifting her fat body from the couch as she bowed and headed out as I turned to Sage who stared at me with a smile on her lips.

“So my Queen, I made this special lemonade for you and I am sure you will love it after tasting it” she said as she made to the glass jug on the table pouring some contents out of it into a fragile glass cup.

My attention wasn’t exactly on the lemonade she was about serving me but the return of King Archer, not hearing from him for two weeks now is getting me woozy.

I really hope he isn’t dead or something worse than that!…

“Sage do you think King Archer will come back, I mean do you think he is dead?” I asked worriedly as she gently pulled me up making me sit on the bed as she handed me the freshly made lemonade.

“My Queen, let’s just keep our fingers crossed and keep waiting for the King, no one can tell if he is alive or dead because we haven’t heard any news and it would be really bad if we continue having negative thoughts about their wellbeing, King Archer didn’t go to his little trip alone by the way… He has his guards to protect him” Sage said as I nodded slowly trying to accept what she said as I sipped from the really tasty lemonade which I couldn’t appreciate because of my thoughts.

A slight knock came on the door as I raised my eyes signalling Sage to go get it.

The door Opened revealing Seren who walked in with a wide smile on her face, her presence was never expected and Sage didn’t let me know that Seren was coming.

“Sage you didn’t tell me to expect my friend” I said as a smile curved my lips on seeing how beautiful and different Seren looked.

“It was just a little surprise my Queen, I observed how pale you looked this past weeks because of the absence of the King so knowing that the presence of your friend would lighten your mood I sent for her” Sage said bowing slightly as I smiled knowing how wonderful Sage was to me, she is just more than a hand maid to me in this castle.

“You did very well Sage, I do really appreciate… please can you excuse us for sometime?” I said calmly as Sage bowed and left the room now giving me chance to notice my friend better.

“Oh my God!, Queen Pearl you look Good! You added so much weight lately!” Seren said hurrying over to me as she gave me a deep friendly hug which I missed so much.

“You too Seren!, You look so beautiful… Like you got a man taking care of you” I said faking a suspicious look as we brushed into laughter.

“Not yet Pearl, not yet ready for marriage now until I complete my dress making training” She said as I nodded knowing how devoted she was in that field, I must say she is lucky getting such genuine support from her family, other girls like me end up being forced into marriage either by being Betrothed or Sold to some rich home or worst still to avoid such thing you randomly choose a man for yourself.

“Yes, what about Rosamund?” I asked curiously remembering she talked about a man coming to ask her into marriage.

“Oh yeah, Rosamund now leaves in Dicrik with her husband…yes she is married now and she is really sorry for not inviting you for the engagement, things were really tough for her” Seren said letting out a slight hiss.

“No, that isn’t a problem anyways… Please pour yourself some lemonade” I quickly said as she reached out to the cup on the table.

Even if I was invited to Rosamunds engagement ceremony King Archer won’t let me leave this castle for any reason, quiet unfortunate but I have accepted that I got no freedom again.

After a long day with Seren she finally left bringing me back to the position I was before she came, I must admit that her presence really made me happy but now she has gone I can’t tell my feelings anymore.

I lay back on my bed curling up at my thoughts as tears streamed down my cheeks, why isn’t he back yet! This is getting me crazy, we haven’t even gotten a news of their wellbeing at least.

The door slide open slowly as Sage walked in, for some reasons I didn’t like her presence I was suddenly irritated by her presence although this isn’t the first time of me being violent towards her but right now I needed to be alone…Just me and my thoughts.

“Sage leave now!!” I yelled as I tried sitting up even if it was quite hard for me.

“My Queen is everything okay with you?” She said taking some steps towards me as I stretched my hand to the glass cup and angrily threw it towards her which I missed the target as the glass cup shattered to the wall.

“Leave my room now and stop questioning me!!” I yelled as she ran out of the room leaving the door opened for the guards to come in.

“My Queen Are you okay?, What has Sage done? Should she be punished?” The short bald headed guard inquired as the other guard made towards the shattered glasses to pick them up.

“Leave my room you two low life fools!!” I yelled as they bowed and hurried out.

Why don’t they just leave me to live my life as simple as it used to be, must I be pampered always?, I needed my own time and I didn’t want anybody apart from King Archer to come into my room for any reason whatsoever.

I lay back on my bed curling up as I stared at my white walls blankly with numerous thoughts in my mind.

Autumn was getting serious by day as the cold air freely blew into my room making the curtains dance around, I needed the windows closed as I was getting quite cold already but I was just too lazy to leave the bed and sad enough I have scared everyone away from me.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

I suddenly felt like I over reacted especially to Sage, it was just too risky throwing a glass at her what if it hit her!? She would have lost blood all day, I am very sure she hates me right now.

I signed deeply as I turned to the window contemplating if I should just try to get up from my comfort zone and go close it or ignore the cold.

I shouldn’t be blamed anyways, pregnancy has been so uncomfortable lately and it’s getting on my nerves, I don’t get to sleep in the position I wish to sleep in because I also have to consider the position of the being inside of me, I also had to reduce the way I consume baked things because the midwife advised so… I shouldn’t be transferring aggressions to innocent people really, all this attitude of mine should he given to King Archer as he is the one that illegally planted his seed into me.

I’m so unlucky getting married to an uncaring man like him, he doesn’t give me the attention I deserve at all.

I pulled my thick duvet covering my body as I slept off…

Waking up I heard noises outside which really caught my attention, I swung my legs down from the bed as I headed towards the window peeping down to see some chariot packed outside.

“Is King Archer back?, I really should go downstairs to know what’s going on” I muttered audibly as I shove my foots into my slippers and headed out of my room.

I sighted some maids going in and out of a room packing things out and in of it, it was obvious that they where cleaning it off but for what reason?… Maybe there is a guest.

I got outside of the castle as I watched King Archer’s step down from the chariot, seeing him brightened my mood especially as he was okay.

I missed him so much that I just wanted to jump on his body but I contemplated if he would accept me or not after my encounter with him before he left.

He lifted his eyes to me as he let out a wide smile welcoming me into his arms, I missed him so much that I didn’t want to leave his arms anymore, I missed his smell so much.

“Why did you leave home like a ghost” I said as tears rolled down my cheeks, raising my Blue eyes to look into his hazel eyes he smiled as he pecked my lips and wiped my tears with his palms.

“I just needed to sort things out” I said bluntly as a very beautiful lady walked out of the chariot with a smile on her face.

She looked so elegant and rich with her gold coloured hair which glowed even in dusk.

I pulled away from King Archer’s arms as I stared at him and back at her, he didn’t act as if he has done anything bad which got me even more pissed.

Who is this lady, who is she and how dare him bring her back home!?… Wait, is she the reason he sent the other wives back home?, Is she the reason he treated me in such manner!?.

I should have known!…
