BETROTHED TO THE ALPHA

King Theodore has been getting news that Pearl was alive, at first he didn’t want to believe because it was quite impossible, how will she leave to Guham without anyone’s notice?.

But on a second thought he felt like he should look into the issue, pearls body wasn’t found and their was no trace of her anywhere so it could be possible that she escaped or something close to that.

The whole issue was confusing to the king of Prussiate but he just had to fight his fear and call for a war, he has always been fearless and ready for either life or death.

Him and his guards will train for the war and then challenge Archer to come over to the battle field, there will definitely be lots of lost life’s on that day but not one Care’s about anyone when it’s time to fight over power.

King Archer lay with pearl sleeping on his arm, she looked so innocent and he was happy that she was back to him alive but what pained him was that she came back with bad skin, her beautiful freckled skin was now disgustingly flayed.

He looked down at her belly area the stretch marks disgusted him the most!, He has always hated seeing stretch marks on his women’s bodies and seeing it on Pearl’s skin made her look less attractive to him.

He needed sex at the moment but there is no way he is fvcking a woman with lots of disgusting marks on her skin and to sum it all whip marks that will take a long time to clear up.

He didn’t want to believe that his love for pearl was fading away suddenly just because of some marks but indeed he was finding her disgusting!.

Just in-between his thoughts he saw tears streaming down pearls cheek as she fought with her hands and legs mumbling inaudibly.

“Pearl wake up!, It’s a night mare!” Archer yelled tapping her as she kept on crying and fighting the air, he hated nightmares because of stories he heard from his late father about people who died from their dreams.

Archer kept taping Pearl harder, he can’t bare losing Pearl from a mere nightmare, he haven’t had good times with Pearl before and losing her just soon would hurt him so bad.

“No… No! No!!” Pearl yelled as she woke up sweating profusely, she turned to Archer in fear as she suddenly hugged him so tight as if her life depends on him “you’re are alive, oh Thank God it was just a dream” she said as she pulled off from him with tears streaming down her cheeks.

“It was just a nightmare pearl I am not dying anything soon” he assured her as he cleaned her tears.

“It looked so real Archer, please don’t fight Theodore he is a very dangerous king I’m begging you I don’t want to lose you just yet” she pleaded as more tears streamed down her cheeks.

There is no way Archer will leave the fight between him and Theodore, even if he has to do it just to please her then he has to leave the kingdom because the war Is a signed one that all Kingdoms are looking forward to.

Running away will make him seem like a coward, as a king he was in for life or death.

“Just Go back to sleep pearl, there is nothing on Earth that can kill me” he assured her as she held him tightly.

“Don’t leave me, please sleep here with me” She pleaded in a cracky voice as Archer caressed her hair.

“I’m not going anywhere my queen, I am here for you”

Archer could tell how scary pearls dream was because she wasn’t making an attempt of closing her eyes, she was obviously scared of going back to same dream and archer getting killed twice, she still had tears in her eyes.

Archer has hardened his heart making sure that he doesn’t fall for pearls tears, he would only send her abroad to stay with his elder brothers family in other not to lose her because he knew how badly Theodore wants to hurt him and he also knows that Pearl was his new weakness.

I woke up the next morning feeling light-hearted which I didn’t expect after having such horrible dream about Archer’s death, where has he gone to so early? I Know that he was with me all night.

The thought of the dream saddened my mood, I know how stubborn Archer is and he definitely will go into that fight, I have a very bad feeling about the upcoming war because the dream seemed so real.

Just then I heard a knock as the door slowly swung open revealing Sage who walked in with a new dress folded on her hand.

“You’re awake my queen, good morning my queen how was your night?” It was cursed!, I don’t want to think of it.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“All good sage, how was yours?” I asked back as she blushed slightly.

“Good I must say, I came early this morning to prepare your bath, the king has ordered strictly that I get your skin back to the previous glow in one week” she said placing the red colored gown on my bed.

“Why the new dress?, Any ceremony?” I asked curiously as I stared at the dress.

“No my queen , the king just wants you to look very good today, my Queen I will like to start bathing you at once” sage requested as I nodded slowly and made to lift my legs down the mattress as my waist ached, I have Four months remaining to pull this load out of me.

“Please come help me”

“Your belly got bigger my queen, I will have to be at your side even more now” Sage said in a smile as she led me to the bathroom.

I can’t believe that I will ever be this lazy to the extent of being babied, I mean I’m that strong well known pearl that was everyone’s superhero and here I am feeling like a superzero!.

After a warm soothing bath I decided to take a walk before eating, I needed to exercise my body and stay strong as I heard that delivery isn’t a child’s play.

I walked down the hallway as I noticed how unnecessarily calm it was, no sign of Zinnia or any other queens, just the guard’s, my besties had gone back home so there was no need going to their room.

I was bored and I needed to talk to someone to ease the boredom, and yes Ray promised to take me to where he was through out the week and I think it’d be fun going out with him.

“Hello Queen Pearl, what are you doing out here alone” I heard his really calm voice from behind as I turned facing his beautiful honey brown eyes as a smile curved on my lips.

“I’m just bored, I was actually headed to your room” I replied as he walked towards me, at times I Wonder how much his family misses him because he spends much time here in Guham.

“I promised to take you to my secret resting place and I’m sure that’s why You’re looking for me… So shall we?” He asked as I nodded excitedly.

He pulled my hand walking me to his room…

He shifted his center table and removed the rug under it, he looked up at me and gave me a slight smile I couldn’t wait to see his secret hide out.

Suddenly he pulled the floor open, I was so shocked because I didn’t see a sign of such thing coming, it looked indeed secretive!.

“Wow!!, I’m sure that no one in this castle knows about this place!” I Muttered in amazement as I tried peeping inside but it was hell dark.

“You’re right Pearl, you’re the first person to discover this place and I will appreciate if you keep it a secret too”

” Yes definitely! I cross my heart” I said in a smile still amazed.

“Now let’s go in” he said giving me a hand, I was scared because the place was so dark what if we just slip and fall.

I just decided to keep calm and follow him hence it’s his secret resting place.

We got down to the underground hideout as he took the lamp to the furnace and lit fire in it lightning the place, I could see the beauty of the place, it was filled with chemicals of different colors… He is a chemist by the way.

“You mix chemicals here?” I asked looking focused on the chemicals, it was really shocking to find such calm place here and I don’t mind spending time here with him “Well obviously you do, don’t mind my crazy questions” I said in a giggle as I turned just to find out that I was alone in Ray’s underground hideout!.

“Ray!, Ray!!…” I was really left alone in such quiet and scary place!.

Why did he leave without taking me along or even with a notice?…
