I fell asleep shortly after that but when I woke up, I immediately knew something was wrong. For
starters, it was light outside and Jason was still asleep beside me. He never slept in past six am.
and from what I could see, it was at least eight or nine. I was surprised that I slept in thiste as well
but I wasn’t the king. I wasn’t Jaxon.
I carefully pulled myself out of bed and debated whether or not I should wake him up. At the end. I
decided against it and got dressed for the day. When I got out of the bathroom, I checked on him
again but he was still fast asleep. I assumed the stress must have caught up with him so I decided
to let him be after checking to be sure that he was breathing properly.
Kiara was awake so I had breakfast with her and spent some time ying with her. I knew there
was a lot of work to do but I didn’t want to handle it. For the time being, I wanted to simply be a
mother and a mate without the burdens that came with. being Queen. I just wanted a break and I
was determined to milk that break for as long as I could. The real crack in my fa?ade came was
when Kiara and I were ying dolls.
She picked up a doll and stared at it for what felt like hours before finally turning to me. “Where do
babiese from.
I choked on air and ended up spluttering as I wracked my brain for the kind of answer to give her.
Finally I settled for a fraction of the truth. “A baby grows inside the mummy’s belly.”
“How does it get there?”
“The moon goddess puts it there when she sees that two people love each other very much. It is
like a perfect gift, just like
you
She smiled widely and then she stuffed some pieces of paper under the dress of the doll she was
holding. That singr action took me back to the conversation I had with Kieran’s mother. My hand
absent mindedly drifted down to my stomach and I realized I needed an answer and I needed one
as soon as possible. I forced myself to my feet and Kiara looked up at me with scrunched brows.
“I need to go outside really quickly to get something, I will be back as soon as possible, I kissed theContent (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.
top of her head and I rushed out of the room. Jared and Jael were standing guard as usual waiting
for me. “I need to go into town.”
They cast a wary nce between each other but it was Jared who spoke. “Are you sure you have to
go? You could always send a maid to go instead. Hell, you could send me instead, I would be more
than happy to go.”
“This is something I need to do by myself.”
He looked like he would have rather stuck his finger into a shredfler but at the end of the day, he
nodded. I made my way over to the room to retrieve my card because I didn’t want Jaxon seeing my
purchase in his history. The entire way to the car, Jared and Jael were determined to talk me out of
going into town. I couldn’t help but wonder why they were so determined that I didn’t go but
whenever I asked, they found a way to change the subject.
They realized I wasn’t going to change my mind as soon as we got into the car and they cast each
other another wary look.
“Wherever you’re going, you need to be out in five minutes, tops Jared said and I was shocked he
was giving me an instruction but I nodded nheless. “Where are you going?”
“A pharmacy or a drug store; whichever is closer.”
He nodded then turned his head up to the sky and I could have sworn that I heard him say.
“Goddess help us.”
The closest drug store was at least fifteen minutes away from the pce and throughout the entire
drive, Jared and Jael were inuttering to themselves. Their disapproval on leaving the pack house
had my anxiety skyrocketing but no matter how

many times I asked, they refused to tell me what it was. By the time we finally got to the store, I was
already second guessing my decision to go in the first ce.
I made to open the door but Jared stopped me. “We can’t tell you what is going on but we can tell
you how to be safe. Just keep your head down, stay close to us and get whatever you need.”
“Can’t I go in alone?” I had barely finished my statement before he shook his head. I sighed and
relented. “Whatever, let’s do
this
Both men stood on either side of me like walls of stone as I made my way into the store. If they
didn’t want to draw attention to me then they were doing a poor job because anyone was bound to
notice two pce guards escorting a lone female. All eyes were on us the moment we got into the
store just like I expected. I ignored the eyes and made my way towards the aisle that I suspected
would have what I was looking for.
I grabbed two pregnancy test strips off the rack and handed it over to Jared. “I need you to help me
pay for this. Of course people will be able to point it back to me but I don’t need Jaxon finding out
before I tell him.”
He nodded in understanding and left me with Jael. Jael was quiet but his eyes were extra vignt.
He was scouring the store for visible threats and he had a dark look on his face that warned
everyone to stay away. It made them stay but their eyes followed me like hawks.
Jared returned after a few minutes with the test in a bag. “We should leave now.”
“I need to use the bathroom first,” I hissed and he clenched his jaw but nodded.
“I would like it to be on record that I was vehemently against this idea,” he whispered as they
walked me towards the front of the women’s bathroom. “We will be outside and if we sniff any hints
of a threat, we areing in. Deal?”
“Of course,” I gave him a sickly sweet smile and made my way in
When I walked into the bathroom, there were two other women there. They exchanged nces and
immediately started whispering under their breaths to each other. I tried to ignore them and made
my way into the bathroom. I didn’t need to drink water because of how nervous I was. It was difficult
to maneuver due to the fact that I was in a public bathroom but I was able to pee on the strips.
I timed it on my phone and ced it on top of the toilet seat while I went to wash my hands in order
to make the time run faster. While I was washing my hands, I realized that the women in the
bathroom were staring at me. It wasn’t stares of amazement or shock, but rather disdain and anger
which confused me because I hadn’t done anything to warrant those
stares.
“Hello,” I said in an attempt to diffuse the situation. “Can I help you?”
“You could get the f*ck out of our pack. Your absence would help us a lot.”
I was taken aback by the venom in her voice and the daggers that people were throwing at me with
their eyes. I stumbled back and grabbed the test strips determined to check them when I was at
home because I knew that I was no longer wee here. I made to leave but I noticed the women
were blocking the door.
“Move,” I said ditching the nice queen act because I knew it was getting me nowhere. “If you don’t
move, you will be forcibly
removed.”
“What does he even see in you? one of them asked. “How did you get him so p*sy whipped that he
was willing to put us all in danger over you?”
“What are you even talking about?” I was confused but I was also scared that they had somehow
found out that I was the reason they were being attacked by Noxian

Chapter 64
“Don’t y stupid,” the first woman spat. “You wanted power and when the first Alpha wouldn’t give
it to you, you came here. He wouldn’t give it to you either but you managed to sink your ws into
him by getting pregnant for him. Who the
hell does that?”
“I think you need to move, now,” I warned and she made to take a step close to me but the door
flew open and Jared and Jael stood there.
The women dissipated immediately when the threat had arrived Both men led me out of the store
and into the car without another word. I was still shaking from the experience so I didn’t know what
to say and even if I did, my lips would not move to form words. They didn’t start the car immediately
we got in, instead, they seemed to be giving me time to gather my bearings and get myself in order.
“What the hell was that?” I asked at soon as I was calm. “What were they talking about?” The
brothers nced between themselves as if unsure of whether they should speak or not. “I asked
you a question and I expect an answer. What the hell happened there
This morning, someone let ship your history with Alpha Noxian It went out to the families of the
deceased who in turn spread it to the entire pack. Everyone hates you now because they think you
brought Noxian into the pack. People are just angry, it will mellow down within a few days.”
Jared started the car after that but I couldn’t get those words out of my head. How did they find out?
How many people kne
about it? What were the people saying?”
“How could they have found out? I thought it was kept within the pce circles.”
“A lot of people knew about it,” Jael exined. “Even before today, I was aware as your guard.
Kiara’s guards were also aware and so were the top soldiers in the pce. Honestly, anyone could
have given the leak and you would never know. There is so much politics in the pce that it would
be practically impossible to find out who was responsible.”

own pack. The people I was supposed to love and protect hated me and the truth was that I didn’t
