BETROTHED TO THE ALPHA

Lady Ann rushed into Pearls room as she has been hearing the disturbing cries of the baby, seeing the puzzle in Pearl and the king’s eyes she hurried towards them taking the baby from Pearl seeing the baby’s sudden change of color her heart ached the baby’s crying voice was growing louder by seconds and she understood the pains the little girl was going through.

“Lady Ann you have cared for babies before and I am sure you understand wherever my baby is going through right now, please tell me so that we can find a solution immediately I can’t watch my few hours old baby crying more than an adult would!” Pearl said in a pleading voice as tears streamed down her cheeks.

“Pearl she will be fine once the doctor comes, she has a heart problem but don’t panic she would be fine” Ann assured as she caressed the baby warmly.

Pearl fell on her bed devastated by her baby’s situation as tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably “isn’t she just too young for all this…” She whispered calmly as King Archer sighed deeply not comfortable with the mornful scenario.

“I will send for the doctor immediately” King Archer said headed towards the door.

“My King it’s already passed midnight and it would be dangerous if the doctor leaves his house by this time” Lady Ann said hopefully the king understands.

” Ann do you think I care about the doctor!?, My babies life is at stake and instead of me to lose her I rather lose anyone else!!” King Archer said banging the door behind him.

Lady Ann turned to Pearl who had already soaked her dress with endless tears and the red paint which wasn’t yet washed off staining the white free dress she wore before the delivery process.

“Don’t worry Pearl your baby will be fine you just have to be strong and go wash your skin, soon you will have to breast feed your baby and it won’t be good if she sucks a breast with red chemical” lady Ann said as she lay the already sleeping baby on the cradle bed.

While I impatiently waited for the doctor to come take care of my baby I lay in the bathtub filled with hot water, my vagina hurt slightly from the water but I had to endure in other to let it heal quickly.

I gently ran my palms round my skin letting the shower gel wash off the paint I had refused to let Sage bath me knowing how sore and disgusting my vagina looked.

I rinsed off my soapy body and stepped out of the tub although still feeling slightly sore in-between my legs, I took the oiltment lying on the sick and gently rubbed it on my vagina area and applied some body lotion on my skin just then I heard the doctors voice as I immediately hurried out not minding that I only had towel rapt around me.

I could feel King Archer’s eyes piercing through my skin he was probably not comfortable with me coming out on my towel but I ignored his possessive looks.

“She has a little heart problem but do not get scared nothing will happen to her, I will feed her something that will stop the blueish color and I will give you some liquid medicines to give her in order to stop the heart issue quickly” The doctor assured as he opened his aid box.

All through the night I refused to sleep I sat next to the cradle bed peeping down at my baby although the medicine worked she was no longer blue but I could tell that she was still feeling pains as she constantly squealed and cried in her sleep.

I couldn’t endure watching her go through such tough pain as young as she is “you will be fine my love, we haven’t even named you because of all this issue but do not worry once your father comes around we will both name you together” I said letting out a weak smile as I was already feeling dizzy “He choose you over me that’s how much he loves you!” I said as Archer’s words echoed in my head “Ann do you think I care about the doctor!?, My babies life is at stake and instead of me to lose her I rather lose ANYONE ELSE!!” I kinda felt hurt by his words but I refused to take it to heart as it was a result of frustration.

Soon the door opened as King Archer strolled in looking kinda pale from the trouble our baby caused us “Thought you would be sleeping by now it’s almost dawn and you haven’t laid your head Pearl!” He muttered walking to the cradle bed looking down at the baby and signed deeply “she is so beautiful and innocent to go through all she is going through already” He said as I left the chair I was sitting on and lay on my bed turning my back at him “Why are you ignoring me Pearl?, Is everything alright?” He asked worriedly as I felt his weight on my bed.

His presence suddenly made me remember that he was part of my premature delivery even if Cressida already told me about the premature delivery maybe if King Archer disapproved my ritual this wouldn’t have happened and for the fact that my baby turned out tiny made me hate him more.

“Archer I would like to have you leave my room, you also need to sleep” I simply said as I felt his hand on my arm which I yanked off immediately.

“Pearl what’s wrong with you and this Annoying attitude you’re displaying, you just gave bath and we should be happy and not fighting!” He said raising his voice angrily which almost made me scared but I had to control myself.

“Happy indeed Archer!, You are the cause of my premature delivery and here you are asking me to be HAPPY!” I said turning to him to see his puzzled face.

“What do you mean by that?, I am not your creator neither am I the devil to make you give birth prematurely Pearl…. And about that, I will talk to the Doctor about it because you’re the first woman in the record of Seven Kingdoms to give birth on the 8th month” King Archer signed deeply as he ran his fingers through his hair frustratedly as I lowered my gaze at him, was he really acting dumb over this issue?.

“Archer I hate you so much!, I hate being your wife! I curse the day we got engaged!” I yelled as King Archer’s eyes gazed at me Amazed by my words, I knew how bad my words sounded but I didn’t care “you watched me go through such hectic task with my fully grown baby bump and you couldn’t stop the ritual even when you know you had the power… You sat watching me suffer with your baby and you still didn’t do anything and here you are acting all nice to me like all is well!” I sniffed as tears rolled down my cheeks “Archer all isn’t well because you didn’t go through the pains I went through!, You don’t know how it feels and…” I tried saying as King Archer cut me off with a kiss which I tried pushing him off but his strength was greater than mine.

He pulled of from the kiss now staring into my eyes passionately.

“I do not care if you hate me but the truth is that my love is greater than yours and that’s what matters, I have always loved you from the day you were announced pregnant and I never stopped loving you even if I acted cruel towards you all that wasn’t my intention Pearl, I acted ruthless towards you because I felt like you would see me as a weak King if I show you too much love and attention” I was amazed by his words as tears surprisely rolled down his cheeks which he wiped off immediately, this is the second time I have seen him cry and they are all because of me! “I know what I went through when Late King Theodore took you away, my heart wasn’t at rest! I felt stupid that I couldn’t protect you from my enemies and every passing day I stayed without seeing you it felt like I lost my rib” he sniffed and took my palms to his hand “I let you go through that ritual not because I wanted to hurt you or something but because I believed that you can go through that task, it wasn’t easy for me to watch you perform your ritual but I still had to… All I am trying to say here is that I LOVE YOU PEARL and no other woman can replace you in my heart” He said as my heart jumped in shock.

King Archer said those words to me!, He said he loves me! He never said it to me and I never expected him to say it!.

“Kiss me” I said as he leaned over to me giving me a full taste of his lips that I couldn’t want less if it, he deepned the kiss his hand going under my dress as I quickly held his hand taking it off “it’s still sore, I feel pains” I said as he faked frown.

“Do you forgive me queen Pearl?” He asked as I smiled.

” I love you Archer” I replied as I heard my babies squeal knowing she was about to cry I hurried to her cradle bed pulling her carefully to my arms.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“She doesn’t have a name yet right?” Archer asked as I nodded looking down at her beautiful face as she stared at me with her icy blue eyes and her strawberry coloured lips pouted slightly.

“I was waiting for you to give her a name” I replied as we both stared at our baby together “She looks more like you but luckily has my eye color” I said as a wide smile curved my lips…

“We should name her Luna because she was given birth in the month of full moon…”

TWO YEARS LATER…

“My King, Luna has refused to wear her Tiara, she keeps on destroying them” Luna’s personal maid complained, this wasn’t the first time anyways… King Archer has noticed how much Luna hated putting on her Tiara even when the Tiaras are so expensive and made of pure Silver.

“But Tiara is too young to give us this much trouble!” Pearl Muttered letting out a deep sign as King Archer tapped her laps slightly…

“Where is she?” King Archer asked

“She is in Liam and Charlie’s room”

“Tell her that her Dad wants to see her, don’t let her walk alone..” king Archer warned as the maid bowed and left.

King Archer turned to the frowned face of Pearl “Archer you’re Spoiling the young lady just too much and I don’t like it, she is just two years and she is already giving me much stress!” Pearl said as King Archer pecked her nose.

“She has always given us concern since the day she was brought to earth” Archer reminded as Pearl signed just then Luna ran in with tears in her eyes.

“Luna what’s the problem?” King Archer said holding Luna to his arm.

“I do not like her” She said pointing to the maid whose head was low “she always forces me to do things I do not like” Luna cried as King Archer raised his head to the maid and signed.

“Wait outside for her” Pearl said to the maid who bowed and left…

“She can’t harm you Luna I promise, all you have to do for your dad is to put on your Tiara please, you’re a princess and you’re not complete without your Tiara just as your mom isn’t complete without her crown and handfan” Archer said as Luna wiped her tears.

“I will think about it” Luna said and left the room disappointedly because she expected her parent to punish the maid.

“She is so troublesome!” Pearl Muttered as she stood up headed to the king’s room with the King trailing behind her.

“It’s high time we made a new baby…” King Archer said leaning towards Pearl.

“First you have to Shut the door, We both know that Luna cries into your room every hour” Pearl said and just as she said Luna’s loud crying voice was heard.

“Speaking of the devil!”

THE END!!!
