Alpha’s Virgin Wife by Baby Charlene
Chapter 184 Going For His Wolf
Gina ran back to the room as fast as she could, her heart thumping heavily. Her ears weren’t deceiving her. No, she had heard correctly! That was indeed, the cry of the baby. The baby survived! But how and why?? Her Queen would definitely not be pleased to hear that.
Chaska was on the bed with her daughters, stroking their hairs as they laid on her legs, trying to calm their fears.
She had never seen them so scared before, Well, everyone was scared. Even Gina confessed. That night was just so different.
Her heart gave a leap when the door went opened with Gina showing up. The abrupt sound it had made frightened Chaska as it aligned with the harsh sound of the rain.
She took in a deep breath and studied the look on Gina’s face as she approached her and from the look of things, she wasn’t looking good.
“My Queen” Gina called whisperingly when she stood in front of her. She glanced at the children, making it obvious what she wanted to say shouldn’t be heard by them.
“Uhm…Urika, Mavy” Chaska looked at the children and cooed. “Can you just excuse me for a second? I’ll be right back”.
“But where are you going, mother?” Mavy – the smallest – lifted her head from her legs and grouse. “I don’t want to be left alone”.
Chaska sighed. “Do not worry, okay? I’ll just be by the door ” she touched her cheek. And carefully,stood up from the bed.
“What is it, Gina? You don’t look good” she asked huskily as they got to the door.
“My…My Queen” Gina stuttered, her eyes on the floor. “I think we have a very big problem”.
Chaska said nothing, only waiting for her to go on.
“The baby…it…it survived” Gina added and watched the flash in the Queen’s eyes.
“What baby are you talking about?” Chaska huffed.
“Qu… Queen Shilah’s baby, of course” Gina cringed. “I am as shocked as you are, My Queen, but so sure. I heard the baby’s cry”.
“That’s not possible!” Chaska flared up, not minding the children overhearing her.
“There is no way on earth that is possible, Gina. What are you talking about?? Have you gone mad??”
“I…I swear I am not faking this, My Queen. I swear! The baby survived! I…I even heard Shilah and the midwife laughing joyfully. He survived”.
Chaska dipped her fingers into her hair and stormed out of the room – Gina following immediately.
“She shouldn’t be able to escape that poison” She paced back and forth. “No! No! That baby cannot survive. He shouldn’t be alive!!”
“What do we do, My Queen? I am equally as worried as you…”
“Just shut up, Gina, and let me think!” Chaska growled and Gina went mute immediately.
She resumed pacing back and forth, her heart rising and falling so heavily. No matter what, that baby cannot survive! She’d be completely doomed with the King having an heir already!! This was never the plan!!
She ruffled her hair and suddenly, stopped walking
“You – stay here and watch over the children” She stated bluntly and walked away, not giving Gina the privilege to ask where she was headed.
***********************
Shilah laid tiredly on the bed, her eyes fixed on Ahiga as she elatedly cleaned up the baby.
Her back and legs were still hurting – including her vàgina. And although, the sight of her son in front of her was more than joyous, she still couldn’t help but feel more worried over the King.
She recalled how frightened he had all been all through the week and how she had a*s*sured him she was definitely going to be there for him. Where could he be at the moment? The moon was already out before he left for the cave and somehow, she feared he didn’t make it there in time.
What if he broke the chains and is on the wild, hurting his own people? Could it be the reason for the rain? Oh! The King would never forgive himself by morning when he discovers he k*il*led his own people. He’d never forgive…
She sniffed and darted her eyes to the window, the full grey moon glinting on her eyes with the rain pouring all over. Where could her King be?
The baby whimpered a little in Ahiga’s hands, but Shilah didn’t take her eyes away from the moon.
“Sshh, baby. You’re doing just fine”. Ahiga cooed, all her attention on the cute little prince. “I can’t imagine how happy your father would be to hold you in his arms when he returns. Oh! Trust me, boy, you’re going to be a very lucky prince”.
The baby burped like he was responding to the midwife, and Ahiga chuckled delightfully.
“He needs me” Shilah suddenly muttered, and that was when Ahiga turned to see her eyes still focused on the window.
“My… My Queen?” She called, unsure. “What are you talking about?”
“The King… he needs me, Ahiga” This time around, her voice wavered a little.
Ahiga didn’t know what to say to that. She was aware of the King’s condition and knew others might be in danger.
“The King would never forgive himself if he ended up hurting others. I… I have a feeling he didn’t get to the cave in time”. Shilah murmured.
“He… he ran out before Pishan went after him. It’s possible… Pishan did not catch up with him” Ahiga revealed, making Shilah’s heart beat faster. What? She must’ve been unconscious not to realize that.
“No… I need to go look for him” Shilah winced as she struggled to leave the bed.
“Wait, what??? What do you think you’re doing, Shilah?” Ahiga flinched, holding the baby to her chest.
“I am the only one that can tame his wolf. He shouldn’t be out there alone, it’s dangerous”.
“But… but, you can’t possibly go out, Shilah. First of all, your baby needs you. And secondly, you’re not strong enough. You just popped out a human, Shilah! You need rest”
“Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine. And…for the baby” she sniffled as she went closer and took the baby from Ahiga. “I believe the Spirits would protect him till I come back with his father.”
She stared lovingly into the baby’s face and kissed his forehead.
“Protect him. Please” She whispered to the baby’s ears and looked up at the midwife.
“Please, Ahiga, take care of him. The King’s wellbeing is as important to me”.
“But… you can’t be out there, Shilah! You can barely walk”.
“Don’t worry, I’ll find the King faster and return with him. Just don’t worry”.
She kissed her baby again, and giving him one last hug, handed him back to the midwife.
“I need to go” she groaned as she stood on her feet.
“Oh! Shilah, please be careful. May Selene be with you”. Ahiga stated wistfully. And bobbing her head, Shilah tottered to the door.
