Chapter 234

Vanessa POV

Sarah Stacey and I went for a walk. I knew Stacey would push us to our breaking points. She would not take it easy on us. At first, we started to walk around the track that was a little way away from the palace. I could tell Sarah did not do much training. She was slow and got winded really fast. I was shocked that she had not been training. Was Richard keeping her locked in the house or something? I knew as soon as I was able to walk, Alfred had me out walking, starting to train, and getting stronger.

" Are you OK, Sarah?"

" Yes."

" I'm not used to all this."

" I have not exercised in a long time."

She then told us how she and Richard meant. He was not keeping her in the house; he rescued her from a cage. She was supposed to be sold to a slave trader. Her kegs were badly damaged and have just now healed properly. How was that possible? She's a vampire; couldn't she just drink some blood and heal fast? I had no idea about vampires. She must have been poisoned on several occasions. That was the only way she would not heal like she was supposed to. I felt sorry for her. We slowed down. After a couple of hours, all three of us were covered in sweat and headed back to the palace. Alfred and Richard were waiting for us. It was then that I finally caught a glimpse of the wall that had once been our bedroom. It was completely destroyed.

We were going to stay in the house behind the palace while they repaired the palace. Richard and Sarah were going to stay in the guest quarters. We all went our separate ways. We were going to meet for dinner. It has been months since we have been in the guest house. I was shocked when I walked in to find it completely cleaned, with a delicious smell coming from the kitchen. Mac was there cooking. I loved it when he cooked; he always made delicious food. Alfred walked over to the couch and sat down. I walked over to him.

" Baby, I'm going to go take a shower."

"I'll join you."

That sounded wonderful. We went to the bedroom. I have always liked this bedroom. The fireplace was huge, and that is what I wanted tonight: some hot chocolate in front of the fireplace. We had left clothes here the last time that we were here. I started to undress, and he came up behind me when I had all my clothes off. He gently ran his hand down my arm.

" It was so hot when you stood up to me."

He always thought that when I defended myself or fought in battle, it was so hot. I was still upset with him for getting mad at me. I giggled and turned around in his arms.

" You are always so hot."

That was the truth. I thought that he was always hot, whether he was fighting or sleeping in bed. I was naked in his arms, and he was topless. How is it that I'm always naked, and he has at least his bottoms on? He then kissed me on the lips. He then started to run his hands gently up and down my back. It was starting to turn me. I could smell his arousal. He was just as horny as I was. We then started kissing each other feverishly. He then gently pushed me against the wall. He started to rub my clit.

" Tell me that you want me inside you."

" Baby, I need you."

He continued to rub my clit. He then inserted one finger at a time into my pussy. He then lifted one of my legs up, and then he positioned his cock at my entrance. He thrusted a few times until he was completely inside me. He thrust several more times until we both climaxed. He gently let go of my leg.

" Are you OK, baby?"

" Im fine."

He was worried that he had hurt me. I felt amazing. The babies were finally asleep. They move so much while in my stomach.

" No, let's take that shower."

I was grateful. We went into the bathroom, and he turned on the shower. He adjusted the water just right. We then got in. He was standing behind me. I leaned against him as he held me. I loved feeling his hands on my body. He was gently rubbing my shoulders and gently rubbing my stomach. I was already starting to show. I guess that happens when there is more than one baby there. He rubbed my arms, then grabbed the shampoo and conditioner. He gently washed and conditioned my hair. I was grateful for him. He has taken excellent care of me. We finished our shower, and then we went to bed. We woke up early the next day. Alfred had the wounded to check on. He was going to make sure that they were taken care of.

I got up and got dressed. We never made it to dinner last night. We were supposed to have dinner with Sarah and Richard. I suppose they understood. When I walked into the kitchen, they were there. Richard and Alfred were talking. Chris was standing there listening to them. There was another man there. I could only assume that was Richard's beta. They were going over the plan for the day. They had already sent men to begin repairing sections of the wall that had been knocked down. Also, they were working on the palace. I grabbed a cup of coffee and headed to the table. Mac had made waffles and bacon. It was one of my favorite breakfasts. We finished breakfast. Stacey, Sarah, and I went to the gym. There was nothing else I could do here. As we were walking out the door, I stopped in the nursery to check on Junior. He was playing.

The nanny told me that he had breakfast and was doing fine. He was crawling around, and I was happy to see it. We then left for the gym. When we got there. The line to get in was a mile long. I wanted to go swimming this morning. It was cold outside. Stacey took me by the hand and dragged me to the front of the line. When we moved to the front of the line, someone tried to argue with Stacey.

" This is the queen."

" Let us through."

One of the guards looked at me. He knew me as Alfred's mate and the queen. We got through, and then we went to the locker room.
