Chapter 95 Aligning Our Goals (Aliana)

Nikolas returned to the room, and I could see his nervousness. It had been almost a week since his friend and half-brother left, and I knew he was doing a lot.

I also knew we were preparing for battle. I wished I could pause everything and just savour the moment. There was fear inside me. The fear of failure, of losing him and everyone I know and care about.

Even though the battle was necessary to free my mother, was it worth risking Nikolas’s life and the life of others?

Will our child be glad that his father was a hero if he has to grow up without him? The questions that plagued me made it impossible to lend Nikolas the needed support.

“How are you feeling,” I asked him as he sat beside me on the couch.

“We are getting ready. I know Fred*ic*k will attack between now and the coronation day. I do not want the battle to take place in Riverhead. I would prefer the lands that lead to Forest so the battle would not destroy our progress,” he said, and I sighed.

“Have you reached out to Piotr? Is he going to help?” I asked, and he shook his head. It scared me to think that he would be doing this alone.

“But you should,” I said, almost in tears.

“You can’t fight this war alone. He will benefit from it. You should, Nikolas,” I said, feeling a panic rise in me, and he turned towards me.

“Shhh,” he said, trying to calm me down. My body was shaking, and I was crying. He held me to his chest and k*issed the top of my head.

“Don’t be afraid, little wolf. It shows how little faith you have in me,” he teased, and I broke away and shook my head.

“No, Nikolas, I do not have little faith in you, but you are everything to me. Knowing that your life will be on the line is scary. I am afraid that fate will not favour us, and you will lose. You really do not have to fight. You can just be Alpha, and we can….” I said, and before I could finish the sentence, I realised what I was about to say was impossible.

How can we be?

I was expecting his child.

As long as a child is between us, he will be found wanting and will have to protect his life.

“I had set things in motion by getting pregnant. It is all my fault. I should have researched and not gotten pregnant, Nikolas,” I said, panicking, and he shook his head.

“Be calm, Aliana. Our baby is why I have a purpose. You and our baby have given me a reason to push harder. I want this; I want you and our child. Both of you are a blessing to me, and I will be damned if it is likened to a mistake. I promise you I will not fall,” He said with strong determination, and I knew it would only be wise to boost his confidence and support him. So, I nodded, and he k*issed the top of my head and held me to his chest again.

“I will be heading to Timber this evening to check our arsenal. The troops are already in Riverhead, so I will return tomorrow to address and prepare the people. I need you to keep things in order before I return. Can you do that?” he asked, gazing into my eyes, and I nodded. It was the least I could do.

He held me for a while, and soon it was time for him to head to Timber. I managed to see him off.
