Chapter 72: Talitha pov
Alpha King’s Sex Slave
Talitha’s Pov
A large king sized bed with luxurious pieces of furniture organised in perfect shape. The bright sunny side of Arni had two couples in each other's arms unable to take their hands off the other. And there I laid holding onto my husband but at the same time having a little rethink.
Words kill but actions kill faster.
Mother's wild statements kept me frigging at the slightest sound. She's gone into the dark path and seems unredeemable, a life filled with broken pieces isn't one toy with.
I pushed her threats to the corner forcing myself to calm my nervous energy with the narrative she was just angry and didn't mean all she said. She needs some time to herself and after that I will make her see violence isn't the way to live. It hurts listening to her speak. It breaks my heart knowing the despicable things she was subjected to in the past but killing my child and husband was off limits.
“I need to get into your head to know what's wrong with you. You have been nurturing this look for days now.” His arms wrap around my waist bringing me back to my physical reality. We were having a conversation and I slipped and my mind drifted to my mother's words.
“Umh I was thinking of getting Xander a little baby sister. He loves kids a lot.”
“No, I refuse a million times. You can't go through that route.. wait don't tell me you're pregnant? Did you take the anti-fertility pills after intimacy?”
“It slipped my mind twice.” I pout batting my eyes sexily at him. I need a second baby. Not taking the pills was the plan. I could try for the second time and give it a rest.
“Amari needs to conduct a test on you. There's a faint scent around you but I can't conclude you're pregnant until tests are carried out.” He slides out of bed, and rings the bell of emergency.
Few minutes later Amari came in to conduct the test and it was positive to my wildest imagination that I was going to be a mother again. Xander would be over the moon to have a sibling.
“Do well enough to rest and eat a lot. You're lacking in nutrients and good sleep.” Amari picks her bag and bows to the Alpha and comes back to me. “Congratulations on the news.”
“Thank you Amari.”
She nodded with a pleasant smile and took her leave. She got me wishing she was my mother instead, that could have saved me from the hurt. I couldn't control my emotions as I teared up. Mother should be here holding my hands and encouraging me that everything would be alright. She doesn't care about her grandson the worst of it. Mother changed into the monster she hated.

Xander held me acting clingy all day. After the news of my unexpected pregnancy Hades informed the maids on the additional members of the royal family and their duties. Hades spoils me silly and with this news I'll be spoiled rotten, he can't help himself.
“Mama..” Xander giggled ruffling my hair. The fifth time he has done that and I got it fixed. This is what I get for bearing a child with a psycho- Hades.
“Your time is up little man now leave my wife and go find yours.” Hades walks into the room obstructing the mother and son moments. The father and son have always been on each other's throats when it comes to me. The clingy husband and son duo.
“No mama.” Xander holds onto me burying his little head on my chest. I chuckled and rubbed his ears making him squirm and cackle.
“The only person I want out of this room... Is you, Hades. Let my son be, he needs his mama.” I stick out my tongue teasingly.
“I’ll be working all night at the royal library. There are a lot of projects I'm handling and it could take the whole day further into the night but once I'm done I'll join you.” He pecked my cheek and ruffled Xander's hair with the little boy screaming excitedly.
“But you can leave work till tomorrow. I want to cuddle in your arms.” I pout babyish drawing my lower lips out. Something didn't feel right, I just wanted to be in his arms protected. I feel the safest with him. Numerous times I thought of going transparent with my mother's threats and telling him of the danger ahead. How would that sound, my mother wasn't dead and was plotting a sick revenge?
“No my love it's important I do it once and for all. Take enough rest, see you soon and you too little man.” He pecked me again and left for work. The slam of the door made me nervous, something didn't feel right.
Xander cuddled up next to me playing with his fingers putting my mind to rest. Everything would be okay. I was overreacting and my mother would see the light and retrace her steps. Low-key I've been hoping she shows up at my door one day with open arms so we can be a family again. I'm willing to accept her and for the rest of her days make her the happiest she can be.
“Come here my love.” I pulled him into my arms crossing my legs on the other. I patted his back gently the easiest way to get him to sleep in seconds while I whistled in a slow voice singing him his favorite lullaby.
My eyes were drowning there minutes into the exercise. I get tired easily and how I didn't guess I was pregnant baffles me. My eating habits were weird but not enough reason to convince me. Two slips got me pregnant, how sway?
The little murmurs from his lips died down, I slant my neck to the side to peek and saw his little cute sleeping face.
I placed his sleeping posture at the right angle beside me with my arms around his body to myself and joined him to sleep as tiredness washed over me.
A bad smell stuffed my nostrils and I tried widening my eyes open but rather the weakness hit my nerves making it difficult for me to open my eyes rather I fell more into blankness.
I don't know how long it took because it felt like I was in a trance. The heaviness wore off and my eyes jerked open like scales lifted off me.
“Xander!” I screeched. My son wasn't beside me in bed and something dangerous caught my eye. A small dagger was lying on the portion where he slept. Someone kidnapped my child and left a statement thereafter.
“Tabitha!”
