The King's Wife Is The Alpha's Mate

Eventually, though, Sophie realized that she was raising her voice and looked at Luciel and Jan who were whimpering and hiding underneath the table. She didn't realize that her mood had fluctuated that much.

Sophie grimaced.

"Would you like some water, Luna?" Dinah offered to her as she placed the tray on top of the table. She decided to change the subject. "Or would you like to eat or anything else? You seem a bit pale."

She had gone pale from realizing that her temper was rising.

Sophie smiled tiredly and rubbed the back of her neck. "Do you think I could talk with the midwife who accompanied you guys? I feel a bit unwell, and I wonder if I strained myself too much after pregnancy. I am irritable."

Dinah looked at her with urgency on her face, but eventually nodded and summoned forth the midwife. Since their Alpha was gone, all of the lycans became worried about Sophie.

When the maidservant went out of the door to retrieve the midwife, she couldn't help but let out a sigh. "Is she currently pregnant? When our Luna was pregnant with her two boys, she was happy… is she going to have girls this time?"

Dinah soon came back with the midwife and let Sophie talk with her in private.

If anything were to happen to their Luna while they were under their watch? Well, Dinah and the rest were not willing to find out what happened if anything terrible occurred to their Luna.

However, when the midwife came out of the door, the female lycan looked happy and pleased after talking with Sophie which was a great contrast to Dinah. Was Sophie now in a better mood and did not snap at the midwife?

Before the midwife left, she grinned at Dinah and held her hands. "Finally everything is falling into place, isn't it? The Alpha might be gone but he will come back and receive great news!"

Dinah's eyes widened and she slapped her face. "So.. she is really pregnant??"

The midwife nodded with a smile.

Inside Sophie's room, the woman herself was also more than happy and already talking with Luciel and Jan eagerly. She and Leland had been married for almost a year now and she had been wondering if she would ever get pregnant with his child.

Ahh… the moon goddess truly knew the perfect timing!

Sophie's eyes sparkled as she held Luciel and Jan's paws. "You're going to get siblings."

***

Sophie was quite stressed as she woke up and looked out her window. There was actually a lot of noise that woke her up.

Her eyes bulged when she saw a large group approaching the manor in the distance. At the forefront was no one other than Leland and a beautiful woman that was most likely his mother.

A wave of joy and longing poured through her chest. Her husband had been away for almost ten days and she missed him so much.

Sophie almost wanted to run out of her chamber and came to him for a hug.

However, she was also suddenly nervous because of the arrival of Leland's mother. What was she going to do?

There were so many things that needed to be done and yet that wasn't even the end of it all.

"He's finally here but…." Sophie bit her lip.

She was at a loss for words but chose to redirect her gaze to more important matters. Didn't Leland say they shouldn't attract too much attention? So, what were these people coming for?

There were too many of them.

"Why did he come here with all of them? Any of them passing small villages or even towns would give anyone quite a scare and what's even worse is…" Sophie closed her eyes and sighed.

It was too suspicious.

It was a number that was almost fit for a large group of combatants. At first, Sophie had thought that the current people living with Leland were plentiful but there were more.

However, that wasn't even the worst thing of all. Something else had suddenly caught her attention and it came from the opposite direction of Leland and the rest of the Blood River Pack.

"What… Who is that?" Sophie was shocked and fell silent because on the other side of the valley was a lone person on horseback.

They were riding down the hill, atop a beautiful stallion and they bore the royal banner.  The banner was blowing back and forth across the wind.

"Please don't come here," Sophie muttered to herself as her heart thundered. "Please… go away."

She knew that Leland was smart enough to not attack a lone rider but what was a servant from the royal family doing here in the manor? His life was in danger with so many lycans around.

Sophie's heart nearly gave out as she went out of her room and met Dinah along the way. The woman was carrying her a tray of breakfast.

"Luna…?" Dinah blinked at her sudden departure.

"Leland is back here with his mother and the rest of the pack, I'm going out to meet them." Sophie placed a shawl over her shoulders and rushed through the hallways.

On any other day, Dinah would have chased after her Luna and told her to be more careful because she was pregnant with the Alpha's children but now she was at a loss for words.

No.

Dinah looked shaken up.

Sophie, unfortunately, didn't notice as she went out to meet her husband and mother-in-law. She truly didn't know that Isolde Salazar, Leland's mother, struck fear in the hearts of female lycans.

***

Meanwhile,  Leland eyed the royal messenger on horseback come to a terrible halt at the sight of him and the rest of the Blood River Pack.

This royal messenger was actually bearing a message from the crown prince that was supposed to be sent to House Romanov, but now the man faltered at their appearance.
