Chapter 49: Chapter 49

Chapter 47

Silence prevailed between Elder Agnes and me. I know he is still shocked by what she discovered. Everyone will be puzzled because Beta Miguel has been nothing but nice and devoted to the kingdom and Alpha Greyson. Even I hoped that all I thought about him was wrong. But I can't prove everything unless I uncover the truth.

I closed my eyes tightly when I felt another ache in my head. I clung to my senses. Elder Agnes instantly spotted this and came up to me.

"Perhaps you should rest now, your Majesty," she suggests as she leads me. I nodded in agreement because she was right. I've had a headache for quite some time. I need to rest right now. I just recovered and I don't want to jeopardize my life again.

"But, your Majesty, could you please allow me to check out you? I've noticed that you frequently have headaches," Elder Agnes asked. I also noticed frequent headaches. I also began to sleep more frequently. When Dylan attacked me, I remember smacking my head on a rock.

"It might have something to do with what happened when Dylan attacked me," I speculated. Elder Agnes gave a nod. "But I think it's better to look at you to be sure," she continued. I simply nodded and let her. After all, I called her here, so I might as well let her check me out. As silence fell around us, she held my pulse. I observed how her brow furrowed as she touched my pulse. Is there a problem?

She gazed up at me, stunned and amazed.

"Have you noticed anything strange in your body in the last few days?" she inquired, still feeling my pulse. I became tense. There appears to be a problem, and Elder Agnes sensed it!

"I-I was recovering from what happened to me, so I often had headaches and was sleepy. I hit my head when Dylan attacked me. Is there something wrong, Elder Agnes?" I questioned hesitantly. She dropped my wrist and caressed my palm. Her eyes softened as she gazed at me.

"Perhaps you don’t feel it because your condition is not sensitive," she said meaningfully, and I frowned. What did she mean? She smiled broadly at me, and I was just distracted when the door opened and I saw Alpha Greyson watching us as Elder Agnes said the words I didn't expect.

"Nine months from now, your Majesty, an heir to the throne will be born; you're pregnant," she remarked, and my lips parted. I couldn't respond. I spaced out. I only came to my senses when I felt Alpha Greyson's hug after hearing what Elder Agnes said. Is this true? I mean... I wasn't expecting anything! I simply lied to be pregnant to make Elder Agnes visit the palace, but am I really pregnant?

"Congratulations, your Majesty," Elder Agnes murmured cheerfully as she watched us. I couldn't hold back my emotions since everything was real. Everything is true. I'm definitely pregnant. Alpha Greyson and I are expecting a child!

Alpha Greyson stepped back from his embrace and looked me in the eyes. I was still perplexed, but I attempted to return his stare. I could see the joy in his eyes. I've never seen Alpha Greyson so content.

"I love you, my Luna..." he muttered gently as he kissed me softly. I closed my eyes and turned back his kisses. I'm not concerned if Elder Agnes is still inside. I only know that I am so thrilled right now that I want this moment to be imprinted on my heart and thoughts for the rest of my life.

It was midnight when the palace announced my pregnancy to the whole kingdom. Everyone congratulated us and even organized an exquisite feast to commemorate the occasion. Elder Agnes had a good time with us as well. Because of the celebration, everything in the palace is complete, even in the middle of the night.

Mrs. Clea approached to greet me and said, "Congratulations, your Majesty." Even though I knew numerous councilors and royal officials were looking, I offered her a wide smile and hugged her without hesitation. When Yna and Gina greeted me, I did the same. I even ran into Joy and her housekeeper friends. I noticed she couldn't look at me, but despite her panic, I smiled at her. Even if we didn't get along, she was still my colleague when I was simply a housekeeper.

Alpha Greyson stayed close to me the entire night. He never leaves my side. His gaze and attention are always fixed on me. He almost didn't take his hand off of my waist. I can already see some people's eyes darting at us. Perhaps they weren't accustomed to Alpha Greyson and me being so close.

That's why, in the midst of the festivities, there was one person I didn't notice. Alpha Greyson, who was joyfully observing the dancing in the middle of the castle hall, caught my eye.

"Alpha Greyson..." I said. He swiftly shifted his gaze to me. His eyes twinkled with delight. My heart began to soften.

"What is it?" he asked softly, as though he'd do anything I wanted.

"Where is Beta Miguel? I haven't seen him around," I inquired, seeing that his smile had not faded. "He's not in the Palace." I froze at what he said. "He was in the group I sent to look for Dylan," he added. "Did you... command him to do that?" I'll ask; I just hope he doesn't notice my questions. "He presented himself. He told me that it's preferable for him to tag along now to ensure that the operation is a success," he stated as if there was nothing to worry about as if he had complete faith in that man!

"And you allow him?" I can't stop questioning him. That's when his face shifted. His brow furrowed in concentration. I tried to remain cool. I'm not even sure I comprehend myself. My mood swings far too frequently. I was not always like this. I then remembered Elder Agnes' earlier comments to me that mood swings are common during pregnancy. He also reminded Alpha Greyson of this so that he might pay more attention to me.

"Why? Is there something wrong? Are you worried about him?" he asked. I breathed heavily and shook my head because I don't want Alpha Greyson to assume anything else.

"No... I'm just concerned because he's your friend, Alpha Greyson." I said. His smile returned. He drew me closer to him and crouched to whisper. "You should only be concerned about me and our baby, my Luna, and no one else," he continued. My cheeks began to flush, and I couldn't stop smiling. He kissed the inside of my cheek, which astonished me even more. We've got everyone's attention!

That night, of course, did not finish without us feeling each other's warmth. Alpha Greyson came straight to our room after the party. He attacked me with a passionate kiss as soon as I walked in. All of his kisses were returned by me. My hand wrapped fast around his hard body. He had already started caressing my left breast. When he tore down my dress to touch my chest even more, I moaned between kisses! Every kiss and caress he offers me makes me crave him.

He pushed me on the bed and removed all of his clothes. I also removed my broken dress because I couldn't wear it any longer. Because of the intensity of our longing for each other, our lips almost ate each other's. My lips parted when his kisses moved down my neck to my breast. When he bit my nipple, I moaned loudly. He treated it as though it were his favorite candy. His tongue twirled and poked it repeatedly. Damn!

"Alpha Greyson... sh*t!" I whimpered as his lips lowered farther. He's kissing my stomach right now. When he abruptly switched to kissing my tummy carefully, my heart thrilled. His kisses became softer and gentler as if he was concerned about something inside it. Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized how much he loved our child. It isn't even in this world yet, but he cherishes it greatly. What if it comes out and we have to take care of it together? I saw a sudden vision of myself with Alpha Greyson, blissfully playing with our child.

"Thank you... Alpha Greyson," I sobbed uncontrollably. He finally stopped kissing my stomach. For a moment, his gaze lingered on me. He stood up swiftly and kissed the side of my eye where my tears were.

"Why are you crying?" he inquired quietly. I'm feeling much weaker because of his gentle handling of me. He's a much different Alpha Greyson now than the one I met when I first arrived at the palace.

My voice cracked as I said, "B-Because I'm so happy..."

He quickly kissed my lips and wiped away my tears with his thumb. We both exchanged glances. "You make me so happy too, Amara; you have no idea how happy I am right now." He stated as if I didn't know how happy he was right now.

"Thank you because... you accepted me despite everything that happened..." I explained. I noticed a little sparkle in his eyes. I was taken aback. Is this true? There’s a shed of tears in his eyes.

“I should be the one to say that, Amara. I was cruel to you back then. And you have no idea how sorry I am right now. Nonetheless, you remained with me. Thank you... for staying around despite everything I did..." I could feel his pain in every word. I can sense his great remorse. His words appeared to break my heart. I chose to remain silent by holding his jaw as I kissed him with such passion that he felt all I wanted him to feel. He kissed me back more passionately.

I can feel his steel shaft piercing my way down there. He opened my legs wider, and when he plunged deep inside me, all I could do was moan his name repeatedly.
