Chapter 191

Over the next few days, Leo began teaching me the intricacies of managing pack attars-the politics, the responsibilities, the delicate balance of

power,

I absorbed the information quickly, eager to prove that I was more than capable of handling things in his absence.

Leo was impressed, but every time he urged me to rest, I waved him off.

There was no time for rest.

Then, one morning, I awoke to find him gone.

There had been no warning, no goodbye, Just a soft kiss on my forehead and the sound of him leaving with the warriors, heading to the northern front.

As the days passed, I threw myself into my new duties, overseeing everything in Silvermoon

True to form, Derek and Cecily made several attempts to interfere, but each time, I shut them down, refusing to let them worm their way into any position of influence. Andrew, busy with the war effort, had no time to back them up, leaving me with one less concern

But then, one day, while I was working on a stack of paperwork, I felt a wave of dizziness wash over me.

My stomach churned, and I stood up, gripping the edge of the desk for support.

A strange sensation settled in my gut, and a possibility flashed through my mind.

I hurried to the bathroom, my heart racing

With trembling hands, I took out a pregnancy test and dipped the strip, waiting anxiously as the seconds ticked by.

Two faint red lines appeared on the test.

I stared at the pregnancy test, my mind racing as the two faint red lines seemed to mock me.

For a long moment, I couldn't move.

My legs felt heavy, and I stood there, frozen.

I slowly made my way back to my office and sank into the chair, my body sinking into the cushions as if weighed down by the sudden realization.

I couldn't accept it-not right away.

But deep down, I knew the truth.

I was pregnant with Leo's child.

I gently opened the drawer that held my important papers.
