'When you're pregnant, you can think of nothing but having your own body to yourself again, yet after having given birth you realize that the biggest part of you is now somehow external, subject to all sorts of dangers and disappearance, so you spend the rest of your life trying to figure out how to keep it close enough for comfort. That's the strange thing about being a mother: until you have a baby, you don't even realize how much you were missing one.'
I Am Pregnant (Part 2)
Two Days Later......
Ruthless left for the Palace after spending three days with Vala, before he left Vala who was still sleeping, he had decorated her room with flowers. He regained his strength and powers times two since he has mated and has marked his beautiful mate.
When he got home, he wasn't surprised when he saw his father in his room. King Galore who sat on his bed stood up when he saw him appearing inside his room.
King Galore pulled him for a tight hug and released his hold on his son immediately.
"Where have you been for the past three days now, son?" Galore demanded immediately he set his eyes on him.
"Nowhere, just with my mate during the full moon days, father." Ruthless answered him. "I have healed my mate, She doesn't look the same anymore."
"That's good to hear son, I too have been doing some investigation to find Vala's mother but I am still clueless of her whereabouts, I have check every nook and cranny of the entire supernatural but I couldn't find her."
"Maybe you should stop finding her, maybe she is fine where she is now and doesn't want to be found, I just wanted to remind you that you once have a prisoner, Elfy." Ruthless told him.
"You smell differently," Galore observed.
"That's because I and my mate have marked each other," Ruthless said to him.
Galore smiled, "It wouldn't be long before she becomes pregnant, if she isn't right away."
"You mean that Vala is pregnant?"
"You and Vala are now joined body and soul and has become one, she has accept you fully giving you access to her whole body so don't be surprised when she comes with the news soon, and know this son, we Lycan wolves once our mates become pregnant, it takes only two months for them to give birth to your child."
"Thanks for the information."
"You are welcome."
"Galore," Ruthless said, surprising his father with that name, but Ruthless didn't care, "Vala, is King Haule and Queen Elfy child and anyone who stands between my way and my mate, will end up in hell, including you."
"Father and mother would have done something wrong to the people, but not their child. I have no problem with the child who did not offend me. So Vala is free to move around in the kingdom, and I will be issuing out a warning that no one should touch a single hair on her head,"
"Thank you, father."
"And since your mate is a half Demon and a half Dragon, she might be pregnant now, and if she is, then be expecting your child in two weeks time."
Ruthless started coughing all of a sudden and went to sit down on his bed, as the cough ceased, "But I don't know anything about parenting."
"Don't worry, you will learn."
"Thank you,"
"Hearing those two words means a lot to me son, I wish Elfy is here to witness her daughter's happiness, even Haule, I don't know what came over me to imprison Haule in the River of Abss, it was Lord's Daniel idea and-"
"It's okay Father, I understand and I shall explain things to my mate."
"Let me go and inform my messengers that they should Inform all the whole kingdoms that no harm should come on Vala since she is Haule's daughter, at least not harming her would lessen my sins." Galore told his son and turned to leave his room but Ruthless voice stopped him.
"Father, you should know that sometimes it is those we trust the most that turn around to betray us, sometimes it is not the enemies, sometimes it is those we love and most times when you have given them a chance to change and they refuse to, you will have no other choice than to do it your own way," Ruthless said and gave a lopsided smile at his father when he saw his confused face, "Don't worry, you won't understand now, but you will very soon and on that day, you will realize everyone is playing a game."
