It was in the morning when everyone had
woken up and paced around in the palace getting ready for the wedding
preparation.
Zarek welcomed Ona's hands in his hands and
sat her on the couch. It was time for him to start talking to her as they never
had a real chance to talk.
"Your parents will be very proud of you
baby girl. I mean, no one deserves this love, treasure, and peace like you and
the other ladies, and know that I'm proud of you also," Zarek said her hand
swallowed by two of his. "And I have this gift for you and the baby."
Zarek gave her a box of jewelry. It was a
bracelet a beanie and socks for the unborn baby.
Ona quickly hugged him and said, "Thank
you."
"I'm proud of you Ona, just know that,"
Zarek said and well, Ona was not feeling proud.
And the baby stuff just reminded her of
being pregnant and again of being pregnant with Kalus's baby.
The baby kicked, which annoyed her more.
She sighed, stood up and said, "Thank you."
She grabbed the staff and trotted to the
bedroom - she put them there and walked out of the palace but came to a halt
and warily wandered her eyes to see who was watching her other than the
warriors far from her. No one. She walked to the hospital side, on the
left side.
While Zephyrus, Zyphyr, Lyrien, and Vyn had
disappeared no one knew where they went. The men were at Calanthir Kingdom and
searching.
Zephyrus hoped he would find Kalus walking
around and enjoying his freedom, but he found the kingdom all dusty with grown
grasses everywhere already.
"Where could these two possibly be?"
Zephyrus was frustrated and had to admit again that Kalus was good at hiding.
"I think the only person who could know
would be the Queen, I hate to say this but they had spent so much time
together. There should be a place where Kalus was obsessed with where Ona would
know if she tries to think harder about it." Zyphyr said.
Zephyrus let his frustrations and emotions
out of his mouth with a heavy breath, "You might be right, but I don't want to
worry my Queen, I mean she's pregnant and Kalus it's the last thing I need in
her mind at the moment."
"Yeah," Zyphyr admitted.
"Vyn – Lyrien, lets go." Zephyrus called
them out.
"I have found this," Lyrien said holding a
piece of burnt painting. The painting was half burnt, diagonally from the left
side to the right.
Kalus.
The painting Ona was happy to burn to ashes
like it never exists. It was right there, in Lyrien's hands.
"Let's go," Zephyrus held their hands and
teleported back into the meeting room.
While the rest got out. He remained in
there and silently.
****
It was in the morning, even though in the
Calanthir Kingdom it was night. Lyrien had a promise to himself that he had to
keep.
He was walking to the right side of the
palace, kicking pebbles on the way like a teenager and practicing in his mind
what he was going to say to Skylark.
I mean, even though Vyn had told him to
relax and be calm after he told him, "I think I'm in love, and that person is
no woman."
Vyn had his jaws dropped to the floor. He
did not expect that.
"Yeah I know, I'm as shocked as you. But
this man is drop-dead gorgeous and makes my heart thud."
It took a couple of minutes for Vyn to
bring back his jaws to their place and took him more minutes to utter a single
word, "Wow."
Lyrien didn't care about being judged,
because what he knew, was that, he was hella in love with Skylark and couldn't
wait to make him feel safe every night.
Oh, Lyrien reached and he was welcomed by
laughs. He felt weird things in his insides doing some odd things he couldn't
understand and his chest clenched when he saw that Skylark was laughing with
another man.
How could he?
Lyrien walked in and stole a glance as well
as Skylark making Skylark's moods swing but he was trying so hard for the man
in front of him not to notice.
He continued talking to him while Lyrien
was busy checking out the items in the shop and stealing glances here and
there.
Lyrien saw that the man looked a bit older
than them but he was still a fine older man, then heard, "I will see you
later." Later? Said the man.
Skylark walked over to Lyrien and asked,
"How can I help?" so professional.
Lyrien didn't like that. Why would he be so
professional to him while he was laughing out loud with that old man?
"Nothing," he said and pursed his lips
while staring deeply at Skylark and having the same height and he knew right
there that he was deeply in love with the man he doesn't know shit about him
and wanted to press his lips on those sumptuous glossy lips. His chest heaved.
The feelings were rising abnormally. "I'm sorry." He said and turned.
Shit… his arm got restricted from running
away this time.
Skylark shouldn't have done that because
Lyrien's mouth was salivating so much and he couldn't look straight into
Skylark's eyes.
Skylark was done with his playing shit. He
knew his feelings were right about this man and he wanted to take a leap of
faith but before that, he was asked, "Was that your man?"
Mmmh, the question felt so right and
evoking things in Skylark's. Right things.
"No, I don't have a man and never had one,"
oh fuck….. oh fuck… Skylark didn't have to softly say.
He was pushed with a groan back to the
counter and welcomed the hard press of the warm lips with a soaked wet tongue
restricting him from catching even the slightest of air.
Lyrien was breathing hard and heavy between
the kisses along with Skylark.
Skylark felt his soft ass cheeks being
grabbed and a hot breath on his neck making him roll his eyes to the back.
"I love how you smell, feel, and taste…..
can you be my man Skylark?" Lyrien had his eyes thick and shining.
"I love how you taste too, and yes… I've
been waiting for you, for so long."
"I'm sorry," Lyrien said and pressed back
his lips on Skylark and just enjoying without giving a fuck that the door was
wide open.
Nia knocked on the door frame.
Fuck… the two pulled away from each other and
Skylark fixed Lyrien's brown and curly short hair.
Lyrien kissed Skylark on his lips right in
front of Nia and said, "See you later baby." And walked out of the shop.
The man left Skylark with dreamy eyes and
catching breaths.
*****
Ona arrived at the hospital but she
remained by the door for a minute before she took a step in through the doors.
"Queen," one of the care nurses hurriedly
said as soon she encountered her presence. "Are you here for consultation?"
The doctors found nothing in her test
results. No infection and no pregnancy and only the palace knew about her
pregnancy.
All Ona wanted to have was the information
of how to get rid of the unborn baby but according to her calculations, the
baby was full at two months and one week.
However, what had been bothering her the
most, was that… How can the unborn baby kick in her first trimester? I mean
usually unborn babies kick in the second trimester, and at the last month going
to the third trimester.
Maybe it was too late for her to even think
about getting rid of the baby. Maybe she should just keep the baby and also the
thoughts of the baby being Kalus's to herself. No one will ever know that the
baby is Kalus's.
"No, I just wanted to have a visit as I
will be visiting other places," she gave the care nurse a warm smile of
assurance.
"Okay, but if you need anything, please let
me know because you're not allowed to wait in line."
"I will," Ona said and continued to walk
into the hospital.
It was not a huge hospital but enough for
Zystyria Kingdom people.

Zephyrus was not aware that he zoned out
when Zyphyr walked inside the meeting room.
"Zephyrus, I know you want to catch those
bastards now, but it shouldn't disturb your mind like this while you have a
wedding just in a few days," Zyphyr took a seat on the other chair in front of
Zephyrus.
Zephyrus took a breath out and agreed to
what his brother said.
"Where's the Queen?" he hurriedly asked.
"One of the warriors said they saw her
walking to the hospital but she looked fine."
Did Zephyrus listen to that word 'fine'?
No. He stormed out of the room and remembered that he could easily teleport. So
he teleported right into the hospital receptionist area and scared his people.
They will eventually get used to it.
He followed Ona's scent and it was not far.
"Queen?" he stopped her from walking.
The Queen didn't turn.
Zephyrus quickly went to be in front of her
and found tears all over her face.
"Oh baby what's wrong?" he calmly and
softly asked.
Ona let out her cry as she hit the strong
chest with her head and felt arms wrapping around her body to pick her up and
the next thing, they were in their bedroom and on the bed.
Zephyrus made her lay her head on his chest
while crying out. His large hand rubbed the falling hair to her back – to
soothe her.
"My love?" he placed a kiss on her
forehead.
Ona sniffled, trying to suppress her cry
and she mostly managed and said, "I'm just overwhelmed…. It's nothing to worry
King."
It was understandable. The wedding and the
pregnancy.
"I'm sorry for being away from you for
hours."
Ona to restrict the thoughts of Kalus being
the father, knowing Zephyrus would be able to read her mind, she inclined her
face and pressed her lips on Zephyrus. It came as a surprise to Zephyrus but he
didn't want to upset Ona by pulling away.
But regardless of Ona being pregnant,
Zephyrus was scared of needing more than a kiss and also not know how would Ona
feel about him needing more.
The King was already hard and feeling his
crotch throbbing.
"You know I'm yours, and I need you inside
me too. I just want to let you know even though I'm pregnant, I still need you
to fuck me because I crave sex even more. I'm craving you right now my lord,"
she knew saying 'my lord' would crazily drive him.
