Alpha’s Virgin Wife by Baby Charlene
Chapter 185 Shilah’s Peril
“What do you want with me, Chaska? Go away – everyone needs his own space tonight” Raksha hissed as he poured himself a drink with shaky hands while Chaska banged on his door.
“Please, Raksha! Open up! It’s extremely important!” Chaska had to yell due to the interrupting sound of the rain. She couldn’t understand why she had to be knocking there for so long.
“Important or not, just go away from me! I want to be left alone!!!” He turned to the door and yelled and gulped from his cup afterwards.
For the next few seconds, there was silence, making him think she had left already, but not until he heard her say:
“What if I told you it had do with the new prince?”
Now, that was enough to make his eyes glint. He halted with the empty cup in his hand. Then, feebly, marched to the door and got it opened.
There he found her desperate face, staring at him and noticed how she took a relieving breath on seeing him.
“What are you talking about, Chaska?” He gruffed, his eyes getting dimmer with the thick scar on his face fitting his coldness.
“You heard me right, Chaska. Your brother’s son was just been delivered a while ago” Chaska breathed heavily and studied his expression drop drastically. No doubt, he was broken by the news.
Leaving the door open, he returned to the room while Chaska followed in.
“It’s honorable of you to be the first to deliver the great news to me” he sniffed as he reached for more drinks on the table.
“Oh! Come on, Raksha. From the sound of my tone, you should know I’m not the bearer of the news. I am here for a reason and time is not on our side”.
“OUR?” Raksha turned to her and scoffed. “What do you mean by OUR TIME, Chaska? Since when did we start having an Us?”
“Since the very moment that baby’s birth became a threat to us” she stated cunnily, creating that spark in Raksha.
His tongue nearly got tied, but he was quick to get it loosed. “It’s…it’s a threat to you?” He turned to the table and began decanting himself a drink. “Well, I’d understand ’cause you’re the King’s wife and it’s normal to have all the drama”.
“Oh! Come on, Raksha. Don’t act so innocent here. That child is equally a threat to you”.
“And why should my own brother’s child be a threat to me?” He chuckled.
“Because that’s the reason you got Nosheba pregnant” At the mention of that, Raksha’s cup slipped from his hand to the floor.
His heart gave a mighty leap. And slowly, he turned to look at her.
“What did you just say?” He gritted his teeth, going closer to her like he wanted to harm her, but Chaska didn’t even blink an eye.
“Please, Raksha, do you think I’m d*um*b?” She rolled her eyes and scoffed. “I’ve always known it, just never had enough evidence to expose you back then. And thank the goddess I didn’t ’cause right now, it has a use”.
“You have gone mad, Chaska. I had no connection with Nosheba”.
“Really? Are you so sure about that? ‘Cause I can never forget the night I saw you sneaking out of her room at the Red Moon Mountain – Alpha Frosty’s Mansion”.
The revelation made Raksha’s eyes dim. “I know nothing od what you talking about. And even if you did saw me, that has nothing to do with…”
“Can you just quit with the lies already, Raksha? Back then at the hall when the King was about passing his judgement on Nosheba, I noticed how you stared at her – so differently. Your eyes had a mixture of pain and fear – you felt pained ’cause your the woman you loved was being punished, and you felt fear ’cause you thought she would expose you. In the hall that day, you were the only one that had such expression, Raksha. And like I earlier said, I am not d*um*b”.
Raksha’s heart became too heavy. He turned away from her and picked his cup from the floor.
“Well, I think you are d*um*b. I see no reason to get my brother’s wife pregnant”.
“Listen, we can stay here and argue pointlessly all night, Raksha, or you can go on and do what needs to be done!!” Chaska yelled.
Raksha said nothing, but only poured himself a new drink.
“Right now, the King is out due to the full moon, that makes Shilah and the baby vulnerable! The entire palace is in raucous, Raksha. This is just a perfect time!”
“Perfect time for WHAT EXACTLY??” He roared. “Why should I even trust you, Chaska? Even if all you said is true, you have your own different plan!”
“And so do you! But if that baby survives, then, both our plans doesn’t matter!”
Silence erupted afterwards.
“I came to you because I thought you were sensible and desperate enough to get it done” Chaska gruffed. “Well, maybe I should just let it be. Maybe, I should just let the King come home to his dear son. And when he’s done with his jubilations, I’d be pleased to tell him of my discovery with his brother” She hissed and reached for the door.
**************************
Drenched in the rain, Shilah f0rced herself to walk admist the pains as she called out to the King. Her tummy was still a little big, her back and legs were hurting and she looked like she might p@ssout at any moment. Definitely, she needed some rest.
“King Dakota???!!!” She called out, trying to make her voice p@ssthrough the sound of the rain.
The cave was just ahead of her, but it looked so dark.
“King Dakota!?!!” She called again and finally got to the cave, but beeping in, he wasn’t there. Oh, no. Where could he be? Where could she possibly look? This only meant he was on the loose and might probably be hurting others.
She had seen a lot of disorganized Wolves on her way there, but none of them was a white wolf.
“King Dakota?!” She called again, this time around, her tears getting mixed with the rain.
Ruefully, she turned to leave but discovered her legs wouldn’t carry her anymore. She tried forcing it, but only ended up on her knees in a painful grunt.
“Dakota!!!” She cried out, but to no avail.
Her body was already shivering from the cold while she kept getting w*et by each drop of rain. This was all a bad idea, she shouldn’t had come over in the first place. Oh, she shouldn’t have.
She cried and whimpered there in the rain, wishing she could get some help.
