Chapter 11
Skye
“Are you happy!”
Shaking away the day dream I was in, I lifted my face to the king. It still felt like a dream that I was dancing with him at all.
I had risked everything to come down after Carret had expressly told me to stay in my room and that risk seemed to have paid off.
At least for now.
Garret wouldn’t dare to say anything in front of him and more importantly Prudie would have to behave as well. It made me want Soren to stay forever. I opened my mouth to say that and then shut it again.

I couldn’t do that. If the King knew just how fucked up our life w
This was my burden and my burden alone.
“Very happy.”
here then it would embarrass the whole pack and I didn’t want that
“Liar.” He laughed twirling me around before pulling me back into his arms. “You’re face is pretty expressive you know.”
Cone was the posh cultured voice, the man in front of me was suddenly just like me.
It would be easy to forget that he was the king at all.
“You know you can talk to me Skye. I will do what I can to help
Pyou
I blinked up at him in shock. “Why would you do that? You don’t know me?” Puzzled I stared at him.
His eyes softened. “It feels like I do though. The moment I saw you” he trailed off and fell silent. I was silent as well.
I’d had that spark of familiarity as well. Like I had met him before. It was strong. Not a mate bond or anything like that. This was different.
My eyes glanced towards Garret
et who was
was staring at us with a scowl on his face. Totally ignoring Prudie who was talking to him, gesturing wildly
“You are true to your mate.” Soren said softly. “Dedicated to him. I respect loyalty Skye.” He lowered his voice. “But I have eyes and I can see he doesn’t feel the same way.
Tearing my eyes away from my husband I remained silent. It was just as I suspected the king saw straight through our little ruse,
“Are you happy with the way your marriage is Skye! With the way he looks at that- his lips curled up in a sneer.
I couldn’t help I smiled. Ducking my head so Garret couldn’t see.
“She is his true mate.” I gave a little shrug. A foot above me Soren’s face twisted into a frown. “Are you sure?”
“Of course. They both say so.”
“Then it must be true.” He didn’t sound so sure. “Sometimes these feelings can be manipulated though but I am sure you are right. It’s not a way I would like to live but if it’s ok with you then I will not interfere. I just want you to know I am a friend Skye. If you find yourself the hand on the small of my back moved upwards. Coming to a stop between my shoulder blades and he leant over me. If you find yourself in any need then reach out to me. I will do my best to assist you. You are Luna of this pack.” His eyes darted towards my husband and his mistress. “The only Luna I will recognise.” He added.
Bending over me he pressed his lips to my hair. A warm feeling spread across me. Not lust, no attraction but contentment. It was such a strange feeling. How comfortable I found in Soren’s arms. He was the king. The most powerful wolf in the country, he should have terrilled me
From off the side a growl went up. So loud that it rumbled over the music and chatter that surrounded us.
And that was a nose that terrified me because it was Carret who was snarling Freezing in the kings arms 1 didn’t dare turn my head in my
husbands direction
“Why are you growling?” Prudies voice was more a high pitched whine then anything else. “You are jealous. Sise screeched. And the sound of her stamped foot was thuislering. “You got jealous because the king danced with her or because he kissed her!”
“She is my Luna” Garret growled back.
di was the wrong thing to say. Even I knew it. The sound of Prudie hand slapping Garrets cheek was loud. A gasp went up.
“Oh she is your Loma is she? And what does that make me

“Stay here.” Protectively Soren stepped in front of me, his feet taking him towards the arguing couple. He didn’t get far before Prudies voice lifted in a shrick again.
“What does that make me? I am the mother of your child.” Rushing forward Prudie side stepped the king easily. I didn’t have a chance to ready myself before she was on me.
Shoving
me hard I fell backwards. Landing hard on my back. The wind left my my lungs in a whoosh.
“She will never give you a baby, she is barren, Worthless,” Cruelly she kicked me as I lay prone on the floor. “She will never give you a baby.”
I curled up on myself, trying desperately to protect my stomach from her cruel attack.
She knew.
I didn’t know how she did but Prudie knew I was pregnant and she was trying to- I sobbed as pain ripped through me.
“Enough.” Soren bellowed. Lifting Prudie off of her feet completely he tossed her into Garrets arms. “Skye?” Reaching down he brushed my hair out of my face. “Can you walk!”
I couldn’t talk. I sure as hell couldn’t walk. There was nothing but pain that gripped my stomach.
“I’ve got you Skye. Tenderly he lifted me into his arms. “Alpha Garret. I suggest you get your house in order.” He growled. “And your bitch on a leash. Now someone show me where the Luna sleeps.”
One of the younger maids scuttled forward.
“I’ve got you Skye. I’ve got you. Y
You are going to be just fine.”
Screwing my eyes up I nodded. I knew I would be fine. It wasn’t me that I was worried about. It was my unborn baby.
Because I was pretty sure my husbands mistress had just tried to kick it from my body.
