Chapter 1
Her legs raced through the woodlands, making her pant. Her stolid breath would have been audible if not for her legs rustling against the leaves and the rowdy guys following her from behind.
She was afraid and didn't glance at the guys yelling from behind.
Running must have terrified and exhausted her.
"Sorry," she whispered and sped up.
How does she lose guys behind her?
A faint sob wrenched her throat, and a searing leg agony drove her to the floor.
Argh!!!
She screamed in excruciating anguish.
The mother moaned, clutching her leg.
She knew she'd been stabbed with the witches' strongest poisons. It's unsurvivable.... None.
Baby... .
"Your struggle is done, Anita," she heard a threatening female voice. She knew it was her and that the poisoned knife originated from her.
"Amelia, please," she said, seeing her standing in the dark in her long dress that swept the floor.
The lady on the floor winced."You really think you can run away from your judgement, Anita? "
She reacted.
"You believed you were clever enough to evade the punishment for your foolishness? "
She cried.
"My kid is not involved. don't damage her..."
Amelia raged as lightning struck.
Anita is cursed. You cursed her by mating with an enemy and having her. You breached one of our fundamental commandments, Anita, and you and your hybrid daughter needs to pay for it! "
"She won't be a problem-I've made sure. ʼ
"You're a witch, Anita. You shouldn't have fell for an enemy and worse, had a kid for him. You disappointed me."
"No, please..."
"As the redhood witches, I now condemn you, Anita and your daughter, to death," she said, extending her hand toward her. Anita realized she had to fight Amelia or die. Using her abilities will deplete and kill her because to the poison. . She had no option, so as Amelia was ready to activate the wand, Anita screamed, causing a thunderstorm.
Amelia was startled by the sky cracking and trees shaking.
Anita knew nobody would survive it.
After the scream, everything was quiet. The only sounds were crickets and the baby's wail.
"I love you, baby," she whispered.
"Take the baby," someone muttered. Don't tell everyone she's next."
30-YEARS-LATER
One woman was on the bed, and three around her.
"Arghhhh….!!!!!"
The bedridden one shouted in anguish.
The midwives could reach her knee-bent, wide-opened legs.
"Natasha! Push! "The head midwife encouraged the feeble lady as she sucked her lips into her mouth and pushed harder than she could. She nibbled her inner cheeks.
She wanted a son for her second delivery. She begged night and day to the moon goddess to make it a son so she could give the Alpha an heir!
Why was it harder this time?
Again!
The midwife shouted
Another push-"Arghhhh..."ʼ Baby's round head.
The three ladies gasped as they carefully removed the head and two small legs. A little wail erupted quickly.
The midwives had one more item to check before celebrating, unlike previous births.
The chief cautiously looked between the baby's legs. The little pelvis made her heart race.
She looked scared and disappointed.
One questioned, her eyes wide with inquiry and worry.
She anxiously anticipated the response.
"It's a female," she replied, transferring her anxiety and despair to them.
The chief gazed at the sleeping mother while the baby cried.
She considered this awful.
"Anta, inform the King. ."The chief remarked, laying the wailing infant on the floor.
"What?? Why me, Hira? . Anta, the second midwife, said, "You do it."
"Anta, you're always the one who tells couples their child's sex. "
"Maybe Laura should do it," she suddenly gestured to the final midwife beside her.
"She's our youngest."
"Whaaat???
Laura screamed and shook her head.
Hira sighed. She glanced at the floor infant. Who would inform the King? .
She knew the King would soon arrive to see what was going on. It would be worse if he found out himself.
OK. "I'll leave," she said, and the two women looked relieved.
"Hira, thank you. Anta remarked, "I think you'll be alright," as Hira left.
King Spenser never hyperventilated like others.
He marched with his hands crossed, crown on his head, and regal robe brushing the clean floor.
Two guards protected him at the corridor entrance and two ahead. He didn't need protection anyhow.
. What took so long? He believed the Queen and infant had ceased wailing. ʼ
.
After some wait, the door opened.
. He stopped walking and waited for her to approach him.
As she took longer to reach him, he saw the lady strategically slowing down.
"Hira? The baby's sex?"
The typical lady inhaled deeply before continuing.
"M... M... My King," she stammered."Gr.... Hello, King.
"Hira, tell me my ears want". .
Hira assumed he would find out.
"My…. "My King," she said, sweating.
