Alpha’s Virgin Wife by Baby Charlene
Chapter 150 Another banquet
Shilah laid like an obedient child and watched as the midwife examined her body. King Dakota was leaning on his table and of course, watched them keenly.
They had been there for sometime- the midwife and her companion. And so far, King Dakota wasn’t noticing anything disturbing. At least, all was still fine.
“P@ssme the bottle, Kimi” the midwife stretched out her hand to her partner who quickly placed the bottle on it.
With the King, one needed to be truly active.
The midwife – Ahiga – put some drops into Shilah’s lips and when Shilah grimaced, it was so obvious she didn’t like the taste of it.
“Come on, now” Ahiga muttered and helped her sit. And Shilah did that while groaning.
King Dakota didn’t need to say anything as the elderly woman already knew what he wanted.
So, turning to the King, she gave a bow.
“Both mother and child are doing perfectly well, My King. She just needs a lot of food and rest” she delivered.
King Dakota listened observantly with his eyes on Shilah.
“That’s good to hear” he finally sighed.
“Ahiga. I am placing you in charge of her wellbeing. Not just her, but my child as well.
“I know you to have much experience on this field. And for that, you will be in charge of everything that concerns her till the end of this journey. That includes the food she eats, what she drinks, her daily check – ups, her health. .. Her wellbeing is now in your hands, Ahiga, and I really wouldn’t want to hear what my ears never wants to hear and I’m sure you know what that means. You being alive is now dependant on hers” .
That sounded a little scary to Ahiga, but what to do?
“It’s. ..it’s actually a privilege, My King, and I’m grateful to be the one to see through the journey of this precious gift. I promise to do my very best and protect them like it’s my life” she a*s*sured and King Dakota nodded in consent.
Those were words his ears liked.
“That is perfect. You can leave now and return by morning” he said.
“Thank you so much, My King. And Congratulations once more” Ahiga said with a warm smile and turned to Shilah.
“You will be a mother soon. Make sure you take enough rest for yourself and the baby. And just incase I’m not with you and you need anything, please, do not hesitate to send for me and I will come as soon as possible” she spoke genially.
“I will. Thank you” Shilah bobbed her head and after bowing to the King again, Ahiga finally left with her a*s*sistance.
.
King Dakota awaited the door to get shut before proceeding to meet Shilah.
“How do you feel?” He asked as he sat next to her on the bed.
“I’m…. I’m feeling better. Just ….a little hungry” feeling uncomfortable, Shilah replied.
King Dakota almost flared up. Why was it taking the maids so long?
“Darci!” He called and almost immediately, the guard came running in.
“My King…!”
“Go check on the maids and let them know they’re getting on my nerves already” he instructed and with a bow, Darci hurried away.
Shilah was still finding it so hard to believe she was actually the one creating so much attention. And to think she would probably be passing through that for months…
Well, she couldn’t be more excited about being a mother, even if it made her feel nervous. And she was still greatful the Spirits had chosen her to fulfill the King’s desires. How did she get so lucky to be the one to carry the King’s heir? His first son after searching for so many years? How did she get so lucky? Hm.
But she still felt a bit sxsrsd and hoped she wouldn’t have to face too many challenges as so many eyes are bound to be on her.
“I will have the maids bring your things to my chambers. Let’s say .. tomorrow morning” King Dakota interrupted the thoughts in her head as she looked at him.
Hold on…
“Uhm … Why, My King?” She asked, still trying to sound so polite.
Despite his sudden care and love, she still needed to be careful around him so she doesn’t get on his bad side.
Well, she felt no one was above getting on the King’s bad side – not even the mother of his unborn son.
“I need you to be close to me, Shilah” he replied.
“My room has more protection. And being here, I can have some relief you’ll be fine”.
Wow. Shilah’s eyes dimmed. She’d be sharing a room with the King from now on? Everything was happening so fast, everything good.
“T. .. Thank you, My King. It’s an honor” she answered humbly.
And few seconds later, the maids arrived.
Shilah could feel her throat salivating already as she watched the delicacies being brought in with trays, bringing out some smoky aroma.
Her stomach grumbled even more as she bit her bottom lip, trying so hard to get a grip of herself. She shouldn’t act too hungry.
“Greetings, My King”.
“Greetings, Queen Shilah” they all bowed respectfully.
“I thought I ordered for the meals to be prepared as soon as possible?” King Dakota asked, his complain getting the maids worried.
“We’re so sorry, My King. We had to take our time in preparing so many of them. Please, forgive us” the one who seemed like the chief maid to Shilah, replied as she wore a troubled expression.
King Dakota pointed to the table for them and quickly, they all served the meals on it.
“We’ll be going to get some drinks, My King” the chief maid said and left with the others. .
“You should start eating” King Dakota said, and quickly, Shilah stood up and went over to the table.
That was just the invitation she’d been waiting for.
She got to the table and sat in front of it, her lips getting so w*et at the so many dishes in front of her. There was testaroli, pancakes, three different soups, meatballs, a plate of congee, vegetables… She didn’t know which to start from.
She took some pancakes, dipped them into one of the soups and took a bite. It was a crazy combination, but hm – she loved it.
She did more of it – dipped the pancakes into the other soups and chumbled them down her throat.
Then, she moved to the meatballs – mixing them with the congee and taking them down her throat. The combinations were weird, but they tasted so great.
She ate with her both hands, dipping this into that and taking down her throat. And as she ate so hurriedly in an unrestrained manner, King Dakota stood behind her and watched – wondering how those combinations were possible.

A knock on the door interrupted the moment and when King Dakota ushered the knocker in, it turned out to be Pishan.
The young man halted at the door on seeing Shilah that way. Her lips were already having some stains on them. Well, Shilah didn’t even care.
“What is it, Pishan?” King Dakota asked, wanting him to know he shouldn’t be there.
“Uh…. Greetings, my King” Pishan got a grip of himself and bowed. “Sorry to interrupt. It’s just that …the rest of the Alphas and VampLords have been eager to hear from you. They think they deserve to be spoken to, to know what the next plan is”.
About that – King Dakota thought.
He had actually been thinking of them and the embarra*s*sment Nosheba made him p@ssthrough in front of them. This was the first time a party was getting ruined in his name.
“Tell them I’ll address them later” he turned to Pishan and said.
“But for now, they should know the banquet would hold. By tomorrow morning, there would be another party, but this time around, it would be in Shilah’s name.”
