Chapter 58: Chapter 58

~After 3 months~

Damon kept pacing in front of the room where Belinda was to conceive. His heart was thumping violently against his chest.

He prayed silently that Belinda and their baby were going to be okay.

King Talos and Queen Marlena also stood not so far from the room, waiting in anticipation.

After the wedding ceremony, Prince Damon and Belinda became the talk of the kingdom. Everyone had their own parts to say about what happened, but Damon didn’t care.

He wasn’t ready to lose Belinda again. He approached his parents after the wedding ceremony, and he told them that if they wanted their lineage to continue ruling, they had to want what he wanted.

He went on to explain all the evil that Maisie had once done and that he was never going to settle down with such a woman.

He told them the only way he would forgive them for erasing all memories of his wife was if they accepted her in the palace.

After thinking about it, his parents finally decided to accept Belinda as their daughter-in-law, and soon they forgot about Maisie.

However, Maisie on the other hand was confronted by her angry sister, Maeve.

Maeve was grieving Alpha Cephas’ death, which happened when they had a fight with the red-furred wolf.

When Maisie went to her to tell her how her wedding ceremony went down, Maeve chased her out of her house and told her never to return as she was never going to see her as her sister anymore.

She believed that she pushed her mate into danger when he was almost getting over Belinda.

The door to the room where Belinda was opened, and Damon ran to meet the midwife.

“How is she?” He asked nervously, and she let out a wide smile.

“She’s fine, my Prince. And congratulations, she gave birth to a bouncing baby boy.” She announced.

Immediately, Damon broke into laughter and jumped up, giving the air a punch.

“Yes!” He screamed in happiness, and Megan approached him and hugged him happily.

“I’m happy for you, brother!” She muttered as she hugged him.

Tears of joy rolled down Damon’s face as he began to sob quietly on Megan’s shoulders.

“Thank you so much, Megan. Thank you for not giving up on me.” He mumbled, and Megan shook her head, tears heating up her eyes too.

“You’re my big brother. I’ll never give up on you.” She responded, opening her teary eyes and looking at Yolanda, who couldn’t stop smiling from where she watched.

Megan opened her arm, inviting Yolanda to join their hug. Yolanda gladly accepted and they embraced each other.

Yolanda and Megan kept their relationship going, though they still kept it a secret from people and their parents. They distanced themselves from Isla’s prying eyes.

Damon disengaged from their hug and turned to look at his parents, who were smiling widely. Queen Marlena opened her arms, inviting him into her warm embrace, and he walked up to her and embraced her.

“Congratulations, my son. You have an heir.” She uttered, patting his back.

“I told you that you wouldn’t regret accepting her as your daughter-in-law. We have an heir already!” Damon yelled, and everyone else clapped and cheered.

“We should celebrate! We need to tell everyone! And please don’t forget Mr Theron! He needs to hear the good news too!” King Talos announced, and everyone clapped.

Belinda’s eyes opened and the first thing she saw was her husband, sleeping soundly next to her in their chamber. A smile crossed her face as she extended her hand to reach his face.

Touching him, Damon’s eyes slowly opened, and their gazes locked.

“Good morning, husband.” Belinda greeted, and Damon let out a wide smile.

“Good morning, wife. How are you today?” He asked, raising his head to take a good look at her.

“I’m doing well. I’m just still very sleepy because our son didn’t let me sleep throughout the night. He kept crying.” She mumbled weakly, sitting up.

“Really? I was so tired, I hardly noticed. I’m sorry I couldn’t help.” Damon responded soberly, and Belinda chuckled, shaking her head.

“C’mon Damon; it’s nothing. Let’s say good morning to our son.” She answered, and they both got out of bed.

They walked to the infant bed which was placed not so far from their bed. In the crib laid their son, George.

Placing his arm around Belinda’s waist, they both stared at their beautiful baby boy. He was sleeping peacefully, his soft hair laid gracefully on his head, and his little, pink hands were folded.

He looks so much like you, Damon.” Belinda uttered, and Damon chuckled.

“He’s my son. What do you expect?” He asked, and they both laughed.

“What is the next step?” Belinda asked, and they locked gazes again.

“We take care of our son, and when I become king, you become queen.”

“And we wouldn’t choose a mate for our son.” Belinda added, and Damon laughed.

“Of course not.” He answered, and they hugged each other, in front of their son’s infant bed.

Megan woke up next to Yolanda and planted a kiss on her forehead to wake her up.

“Hey pretty.” She muttered, and Yolanda let out a smile, planting a kiss on Megan’s lips.

“Good morning, my wife. Did you sleep well?” She asked, and Megan nodded.

“I slept like a baby! George’s naming Ceremony was so good! Let’s go and say hi to him.” Megan uttered happily, standing up from the bed.

“Wait, Megan.” Yolanda uttered, holding Megan back. The smile on her face slowly washed off her face.

“What’s wrong?” Megan asked worriedly, settling on the bed again.

“I have been thinking. What about us? We’ve been together for four years, but our relationship is yet to move forward.” She uttered, and Megan heaved a sigh.

“What do you want us to do then?” Megan asked, pretending not to understand what was supposed to be done.

“Do we still have to keep our relationship a secret?” She asked, and Megan nodded slowly.

“Yes, Yolanda. I’m not sure my parents are ready to hear this now. They are yet to recover from Damon’s. Can you please give me some time?” Megan pleaded, and Yolanda nodded, forcing on a smile.

“Okay.” She answered, and Megan smiled.

“C’mon now. Let’s go and say hi to George.” Megan uttered, and they got out of the bed and headed to Damon’s room.

Getting to Damon’s room, they found the newly wedded couple standing next to their infant bed. Megan and Yolanda joined them, staring at baby George.

A tear dropped from Belinda’s eye as she remembered everything she had been through.

This was the end of a new beginning.
