Alpha’s Virgin Wife by Baby Charlene
Chapter 188 The King’s Rage
With Shilah’s on his back, Dakota’s mind kept going round in circles, thinking of his son and how he couldn’t wait to get hold of him. It still felt like a dream to the dear King, What ha had hoped for and thought was impossible, was finally waiting for him at home. Oh, who could’ve thought?
Smiles lingered on his lips as he thought of how well he’d bring him up. He was going to make sure he never gets hurt, never lacks a thing, grows up as the strongest prince. Ah! He couldn’t wait to start having those father-and-son sections with him.
He chuckled lightly to himself, but loud enough for Shilah to hear.
“My King, we’re close to the Palace already. I think you should drop me down” Shilah suggested, though, she had really been enjoying the comfort of his back.
“Just keep sh*t, Shilah, and enjoy the ride” Dakota replied in her favour and the walk continued.
*
By the time they approached the Palace gates, the sky was already getting clear. The full moon was finally over, most of the wolves back to normal and the atmosphere becoming brighter.
The guards at the gate, on spotting the King, quickly ran to him, having that perturbed look on.
“My King!”
“Let us have her, please!”
“Just bring her over, please!”
They offered to take Shilah from him, finding it disturbing that their Alpha King was carrying a woman all by himself with his chest exposed. But of course, Dakota wouldn’t let them.
“I’m fine” for the first time, his voice wasn’t so hard on his guards. Instead, it had this echo of joy. And frankly, the guards were a little surprised.
He walked p@ssthem, Shilah feeling a little shy that a lot of people were going to see her on the King’s back. It wasn’t a feeling she was completely used to.
More guards rushed to them as they walked into the wide spaced Palace.
“Welcome home, Alpha King. We have been searching for you” One of them said with a bow.
“Oh! Is that so?” Dakota chuckled. “Well, search no more for I’m here now”.
The guards followed him behind as they walked to the entrance and getting there, Shilah f0rced the King to place her down.
“Please… I’ll be fine on my own” she grouse as she tried wriggling down his back. And not wanting to make it too obvious, Dakota let her be.
“Stubborn” He mumbled as he took her hand and walked through the entrance of the hallway with her, while she laughed.
Walking down the quiet hallway, Shilah felt her heart beating faster – probably because she was getting closer to meeting her son. She couldn’t wait to see the happiness on the King’s face when he finally holds the Prince, the son he had waited for for so many years.
He was still holding her hand when they got to the door of his chambers – with no guard in front – and pushed it open.
Their eyes were beaming to see the little boy, probably sleeping or burbling on the bed. But, what they saw was completely different. And disturbing.
They saw Ahiga on the bed, looking like she was sleeping, while Pishan sat in front of her, placing a w*et towel on her head.
Shilah’s brows arched as she glanced at the King, then back at the bed.
“Alpha King!” Pishan called surprised as he sprang on his feet. “You’re back, you’re safe!”
“Wh… What’s going on here, Pishan? What ha…hapened to Ahiga? Is my son with a maid?” Shilah stuttered, walking into the room.
“Son?” Pishan flinched and turned to see her tummy. And realizing it had become smaller, he flinched. “You delivered the baby?”
“Of course! And he was right here – with Ahiga!” Shilah chuckled – dramatically.
Pishan looked at the King who was still and quiet.
“I… I returned a while ago and decided to check if the King was back, but getting to the chambers, I only found Ahiga unconscious on the floor. I… I thought something bad had happened to Shilah. So, I sent guards out to look for you two while I stayed back to revive Ahiga and know what happened. I had no idea you…”
“What are you saying?” Shilah scoffed, her heart already beating faster than a horse’s hoof. “My… My baby was right here. He was with Ahiga before I left to get the King. He didn’t…” She lost words and ran to the midwife on the bed.
“Ahiga!!! Ahiga!!! Where’s my son?!!!” She yelled out while shaking the woman roughly. Pishan had gotten so confused and couldn’t even try to stop her – especially with how silent the King was.
“Ahiga!! Please, wake up!! Wake up!!” She hit the woman hard until finally, Ahiga came groaning back to consciousness.
“Oh…!” A tired m*oa*n escaped the woman’s lips with her eyes still closed.
“Ahiga!! Where’s the baby!! Talk to me!” Shilah shook her again, and slowly, her eyes went open.
It took her sometime to realize it was Shilah panicking in front of her. And it also took her sometime to recall what had happened.
“Oh! Dear, Selene!” She gasped and sat up, and the moment she found the King by the door, her hands started shaking.
“No, no, no. This is not happening” She spoke in deep breaths, her forehead emanating sweat.
“What’re you talking about, Ahiga? Where is my son? He was with you before I left, right? Where is he??”
“I don’t know!” The woman cried out. “I…I was just in the room with him when someone knocked on the door and told me.. he was Pishan. But when I opened the door, it turned out to be someone else. He… he knocked me out and possibly took the baby. I don’t…”
“NO!!” Shilah cried out. “That’s not possible! It’s not possible! Where’s my son?!”
“Oh! I’m so sorry. I was really protecting him. I just. .”
“Who knocked you out, Ahiga?” Pishan went closer and asked.
“I swear, I have no idea. His…his face was covered. I couldn’t… Oh, please!” She wavered. She didn’t even want to look at the King’s face as she was sure his eyes would be k*il*ling.
“SHILAH!” The deep roar of the King suddenly echoed through the room, and when Shilah looked at him, she saw eyes she had never seen before.
“Where is my son?” The question from him triggered Shilah.
“He was right here – I swear! I left him with her!” She whimpered, hot tears streaking her cheeks.
“WHERE IS MY SON? BOTH OF YOU!” He growled, making Ahiga shiver on the bed while Shilah fell on her knees.
“He was here! He was here! I swear, I left him here!” She wept profusely.
And turning to the guards behind him, Dakota drew one of their swords and aimed for the midwife. But thankfully, Shilah was quick enough to stop him.
“NO! Please!” She cried as she stood on her feet and held him back before he’d reach the midwife. “Please! Don’t do it!” She sobbed on his shirtless chest, his hand suspended in mid-air with the sword in it. The rage in his eyes, it was like nothing Shilah had ever seen before. She could feel his entire body vibrating deeply.
“I told you to PROTECT THEM!” He growled. “I told you to protect my SON!!!”
Ahiga had become so scared to speak, all she could do was shiver in tears with her head bowed.
Angrily, he threw the sword to the floor and turned to the door.
“Get the horses ready! We’re going in search for my son. AND LOCK THAT WOMAN UP!” He grunted as he stormed out of the room.
Shilah fell back on her knees, Pishan was devastated and rushed to the King’s wardrobe where he pulled out a shirt. He signalled the remaining guards at the door to do what the King said. And dutifully, they went for Ahiga.
In less than a minute, Shilah was the only one left in the room, on her knees and crying.
