Aliana POV
I sat on Nikolas’s lap in his mother’s room, waiting for her to wake up I wasn’t happy that day because I realised my father was made to work long hours.
His health wasn’t good, but I dared not bring it up with Nikolas.
I felt like a failure.
I felt like I was betraying my father, but there was just so much I could do in a temporary relationship.
What if I say or request something that would annoy him?
I did not want my people to be worse off than they already were. I was tom.
I cared about Nikolas a lot, but I also knew it would end one day.
Discussing the birth control pill with him was very important because I doubted he would understand if I got pregnant, and I did not want to bring a child that would be rejected into the world.
I was yet to ask Ania and Lisa why they were referred to as halfbreeds. Still, I somehow knew it had much to do with why they were maids and why Lisa always warned me to be cautious. Could it be possible that they were rejected because they were half-werewolves? If that was the case, what quality of life would my child have?
Going on birth control was for the best. Nikolas had bent so much already, I did not want to push it.
If he was going to make any change, it should be because he wanted to and not because I pressured him
The physician entered the queen’s room and handed me a packet of pills. He told me when to start taking it and how I should take it. He also warned me not to stop taking it, or it would be ineffective.
Nikolas was there for it, and he did not say anything. I collected the medication, and the doctor left.
There was an awkward silence between us for about five minutes long before Nikolas finally spoke.
“I will figure something out, Aliana. Do not write what we have off.” He said, rubbing my back gently, and I smiled at him.
“I am not sad, Nikolas . I am happy that I wouldn’t have to resort to drinking that painful tea. Thank you,” I said and got off his lap to place the medication in my pocket. His eyes said he did not believe what I was saying, but he let it rest. Honestly, it would have been nice to have a family with him. Ruthless or not, he was a loving and responsible man. He would have been a wonderful husband and father. I took comfort in knowing we would have a good king.
We cared for the queen when she woke up, and as always, he left me to attend to pack matters while I returned to the room.
I slept early that night. I did not bother staying up for him or looking out the window to see what he was doing in the garden. It had become a routine, and I wanted to break it.
I felt him in the night when he came to bed and pulled me close to his b*ody.
