ZENEVIEVA

I woke up with a loud yawn to discover that Tyson was standing afar, looking lost in his own thoughts. I seized the opportunity to wear my clothes and stood up at once before he turned his back.

"Hey!" He exclaimed on seeing me. "Isn't it too early?"
"No." I shook my head and yawned again and he sighed, grabbing my hand back to sit on the bed. 
"Is Tyler back?" I asked anxiously before sagging in relief when he nodded.
"Kyle is here too."

He said and I frowned.
"Why?"
"I think something happened yesterday, I'm yet to find out. Just make sure you freshen up, take your breakfast and come over."

He said accessing my face and I nodded.

"We'll be meeting your father today."

He sighed and nodded, expressing a tinge of sadness.

"Is anything the matter?"
"Not really, just freshen up okay?"

I nodded and watched as he stood up, giving way for the maids to come in and set my bath, taking care of everything I needed till I'm done.

I dug into my meal hastily and ate while I pondered on what the King had to say to us. It made me somewhat nervous but what increased my anxiety was Kyle.
I really need to bring myself to tell him that there's no going back, I'm pregnant for Tyson and I chose to stay with him instead rather than causing any confusion and creating conflicts between the two.

It's going to be hard for him but I need to find peace for my sanity and be free.

I walked out when I was done and went towards the Royal Kitchen to search for Lexa, it's high time she stopped working as a public maid and just focused on my errands alone. She worked too hard, making me rarely see her unless I send for her.

"Where are you going?" I heard Tyson's voice who gasped at where I was going.
"The Kitchen."
"Why?" He glared at me and I frowned.
"I only want to check on something, why are you acting this way?" I frowned at him and he sighed in relief.

"Fine, let's go together."
"But why, I just want to check on Lexa."
"Well, you might end up soiling your hands and cooking without remembering who you are." He said seriously and I scoffed.

"I rarely do that even when you used iron fist on me, I'll only do that when I feel like."

I told him and dragged him to the normal direction that going to the Kitchen, going with him there is definitely going to look awkward.

"Zenevieva."
He called, his voice still having this sigh that signaled sadness.
"Yeah? What's wrong?"
"Is there a poison that can render someone barren as a woman?" I frowned at once wondering why he asked that but I nodded.

"Yes, there is a herb used in destroying the womb of a woman after drinking it. Why will you ask that?"
"My sister is a victim." He blurted out and I gasped.
"Collette?"
He nodded and I frowned.

"How, it doesn't make sense, who would give her such a thing?"
"It's a mystery to me too, but that was the strategy Marcella used in having access to my sister which had her thrown out from White Cave."
He added which left me unable to express how shocked I am.

"What? Collette was thrown out?"
He sighed and huffed.

"She plans on taking her life again and I don't even know what to do, I'm totally lost and I don't want Collette in this palace. She should be in her mate's place."

He said firmly, looking worried before grabbing my arms all of a sudden.
"Can you please check on her?"
"Does she want me to check on her? I might have not told you this but I'll slap anyone who dare crosses me rudely." I said with fact and he nodded.
"You said you would kick my ass."
"Good, I'll think of something. I just hope her stomach is not totally destroyed, we can always revive her reproductive organ with the antidote"

He sighed and threw his arms on me, embracing me into a warm hug as she sighed.
"I know I can count on you, Thanks."
"No way, you pay for every service rendered. Why do you take me for a philanthropist?"

I said seriously and he chuckled.
"Hmm…how much would you like to pay you? In material things or in Kind?"
"I'll tell you when I'm done."

He shook his head and scoffed.
"Don't you dare cheat on me."

I laughed out at how serious he looked and turned my face only to meet with Kyle who was approaching with Tyler and I felt guilty all of a sudden, slowly withdrawing from Tyson's arms and fiddling with my hair nervously. I even tried stepping some meters away from him but Tyson's hands forcibly pushed me back to him that our lips almost touched and I gasped.
"Tyson…I need to-"
"You need rest, just relax okay."
He hugged me tightly as he patted my back sweetly and I heard the footsteps getting nearer.

I peeled myself away from him forcefully but his hands were firmly holding mine.

"Hey Zenevieva, are you okay?" Tyler asked jovially and I nodded, flushing with embarrassment as Kyle's eyes never left my entwined hands with Tyson which made me feel like a witch stabbing an innocent soul.

"What happened yesterday Tyler?" Tyson asked, also trying his best to avoid Kyle's intense gaze on me.
"Marcella's mum abducted us when I went to tell him to be careful and watch out for what Marcella had prepared."

I gasped at Tyler's words.

"Abducted you both?" He nodded and I shook my head.

"Are you both okay?" I asked, forcing my eyes to meet Kyle and he just nodded.
"How did you escape from her?"

Tyson asked and he shrugged, pointing at Kyle.
"That's where the question goes to him, I'm still dazed at how we came here, sincerely "

Tyler said and Tyson became mute all of a sudden making an awkward silence.

"I'm just glad you both are okay, thanks Kyle."

I said to ease the tension and tried to walk away quickly to leave them quickly but I stepped on the fabric on my gown and tripped, almost falling down flat but Kyle was swift enough to hold me safely looking really worried.

"Are you crazy?" He scolded.
"It's clear that she tripped, don't yell at her like that." Tyson added and I cursed.
I finally let this cat and dog say something, it will definitely not end well.

"If you cared that much, then you would have made sure she doesn't wear some overflowing religious gown to keep her posture of walking." Kyle slammed at him.

"She looks beautiful on whatever stuff she wear, why will I say no to her outfit?" Tyson asked cockily with a smile on his face and I rolled my eyes.
"You sound so weird saying that "
"You can let her stand already, she's not falling."
Tyler almost begged and I groaned and shook my head.
This is not good at all.

He made sure I stood on my feet before sighing.

"Stop being clumsy please, at least for your condition. You should stay healthy and not roam under the sun."

"Kyle!" My face whitened at once in shock but he didn't stop blabbing.

"What? Is he still being stupid, then tell me. You need to have a healthy baby and tell her how much of a psycho her father was with his stupid face." 

If only I could yell at him to shut up this minute but he looked so funny saying that.

"I missed you Zenevieva, but I need to face reality. So do me a favor by staying safe, okay?"

I nodded as tears burned my eyes at how he had already let go.
He still remained the best despite hurting him, he had said whatever the situation may be he'll handle that and he did it so well.

"Thank you." I whispered and he nodded.
"You can count on me anytime, just make sure you're happy." He said, smiling.
"Promise me that too."

"I'll try." He replied and I sighed In relief.

I turned to stare at Tyson but his expression emitted nothing but jealousy and disappointment. He couldn't hide it when he walked out while I turned to Tyler.

"Why is he like that, Kyle should be the one sulking."
"What?" Kyle glared at me. "Why would an Alpha sulk?" 
"Don't start, you used to."

"Well, he's just surprised. I'm extremely shocked, In Fact I'm disappointed that Kyle was the first person to know that you're pregnant! Jeez, you didn't even tell me Zenevieva!"

I chuckled at his childish act and bit my lips.
"Now you all know, quit the competitive act."
"Can you go now Kyle, you've taken everything from us. I used to be her favorite."

Tyler said and Kyle rolled his eyes, chuckling softly and slapping his back.
Tyson is only acting but I like it when he displays jealousy over every little thing.
I hope I don't end up getting addicted to his actions, it's so hypnotizing.

"Can I carry out my last duty in Mudville as the Alpha commander?"

Kyle asked and we both frowned.

"What's your last duty?" Tyler asked.
"Allow me to punish Marcella."
