Filed to story: Pregnant By The Heartless Lycan King
I am too stunned to talk or defend myself. The crowd is murmuring and mocking me and I feel as though I am the unluckiest person in the whole world. My feeble attempts to defend myself are unheard by the riveting crowd.
“I came here with my husband,” I can only mumble this again and again.
“And where is he?” Alina laughs. “Where’s your so-called husband?”
“He’s here. She’s brought by me,” a deep, powerful voice sweeps through the hall with such force that everyone immediately goes silent.
Marco’s voice gives me strength in a way that I cannot explain. Immediately I hear his voice, my racing heart slowly calms down. A comforting peace settles upon my nervous mind and a soft smile grows on my face. He walks through the aisle slowly and powerfully, with a folder in his hand. His every step screams confidence and power. His short-cropped hair is a bit ruffled giving him a ruggedly handsome look. The crowd suddenly goes wild as he approaches the podium.
“It’s the Second Prince!”
“Marco is back.”
“He is here.”
“The most powerful Lycan in the Kingdom.”
He has a cold smile on his face as he steps onto the podium and pulls my hands up, exposing my ring for everyone to see.
“Her name is Tanya, and she is my wife,” Marco speaks in a cold voice that no one can dare argue with. “And she’s here to buy back my mother’s Earrings.”
“What?”
“Marco has a wife?”
“Who is she?”
“Is she rich or powerful?”
“She’s very beautiful though.”
Murmurs sweep through the crowd and I can barely believe what I am hearing. Marco is the Second Prince? Marco is Royalty?
“Brother,” the princess suddenly yells. “Is this a joke?”
“No, Cathy,” Marco replies. “It’s not.”
Then it suddenly dawns on me. If Cathy is the princess and she calls Marco her brother, it means that Marco is a prince of the kingdom. The realization hits me with such brutal force that it knocks the wind out of me. I stagger slightly and would fall if Marco hasn’t caught me.
“Welcome back, buddy,” the man that stared at me earlier also says with a big smile, and I realize that he is Marco’s friend. He was just bidding on Marco’s behalf for the Earrings.
“How is this possible?” I murmur. “Is this real?”
I just can’t bring myself to believe it. All my life, I am always unlucky, unloved, unknown. I am just a surrogate’s daughter of an Alpha of a small pack. Yet, I am married to the Second Prince, the most powerful Lycan in the entire Kingdom. Does that mean my fate has changed? Does that mean I can be truly loved and be truly happy? All these thoughts rush through my mind when a soft, sweet, feminine voice sweeps through the hall and everyone turns their attention to the door.
“You’re finally back.”
Tanya’s POV
I am curious to see the owner of the voice and I peer towards the door. A very pretty young woman enters the hall, and she is not alone. Her arms are intertwined with an equally handsome man and they look like a very lovely couple. They both exude a majestic and noble aura and I am very certain that they are either Royalty or Nobility. My suspicion is confirmed when the crowd suddenly bow their head very low and part ways for the couple to pass through. They are flanked by bodyguards with a few maids and servants trailing behind them.
“The First Prince, Eric and his fianc?e, Lily,” a servant yells and almost immediately, everyone genuflects, everyone except Marco and I. I don’t understand what is going on and I am certain that Marco, as the Second Prince and the most powerful Lycan in the kingdom is not obligated to genuflect.
“You can all rise,” Eric says in a rich, smooth, baritone voice that I am certain can charm lots of women. The whole crowd rises while Eric and Lily continue walking towards the podium. From the uneasy murmur of the audience, I can tell that it is unusual for the Royal Family to gather together in public.
The more I listen to the murmurs of the crowd, the more I realize that I’ve heard those names before. Lily and Eric! They seem so familiar as though I’ve heard the name from somewhere before today. I rack my brain and I suddenly remember where I heard it. It is from those two girls at the open-air bar. I have eavesdropped on their conversation about the royal family and the details slowly come to me.
Lily and Eric are the couple that got engaged and sent the whole Kingdom in a festive mood. But Lily is Marco’s fated mate. They were in love before but finally Lily engaged to Eric, instead of Marco. I have a brief recollection of Marco in the open-air bar. He had a very cold aura around him when Lily and Eric k!ssed. Also, he called me Lily in the hotel room when we had s*ex. That can only mean one thing…
I suddenly feel an uneasy emotion with me. I don’t know exactly what I feel; perhaps it is fear, panic, turmoil. Whatever it is, it grows rapidly within me and I slowly become confused and sad. Marco was in love with Lily! That thought sends a deep shiver down my spine and my panic grows massively. But Lily is engaged with Eric, and that means Marco no longer loves her right?
