BETROTHED TO THE ALPHA

“We have been waiting outside here for hours to get a chance to sneak in but we haven’t even seen any possibility of entering, this task is so difficult to be done in two days!” Zuko the head guard muttered as he ran his fingers through his hair.

“I am famished and I don’t think we brought enough food to sustain us while this mission lasts” one of the guards said as he yawned tiredly.

“We have to be serious with this task, we all know what king Theodore can do if we come back without the queen, we have to keep our eyes focused to achieve this… No sleeping!” The head guard shouted at the already sleeping fat brunette guard who immediately jerked up making the rest of the guards laugh out loud.

Queen Zinnia walked into the kitchen as all the maids turned to see her as they all bowed in Surprise of seeing her in the kitchen.

She doesn’t have any business with the kitchen as a queen so it was shocking to actually see her in the kitchen.

“My queen do you need anything?, Did a maid delay your order?” The head maid asked curiously as queen zinnia rolled her eyes at her and walked to the kitchen counter.

“Don’t I have the right to be here?” She asked expressionlessly as her eyes scanned through the kitchen, it was new to her.

“No my queen you’re welcome”

“Where is sage?” She asked as sage walked out of the store house with a some coffee bean, she was about making Pearls coffee.

“My queen, You want to see me?” Sage replied bluntly as she kept the bean on the counter and took the boiling water.

She hasn’t still stopped disregarding zinnia and zinnia wondered why she still doesn’t want to give her the respect she deserves even after the punishment.

“Uhm… Put this in your mistresses coffee it would help her stop sleeping and being too weak, not to worry she knows about this and she approves it” Zinnia said as sage nodded and took the small bag that feels like it has sees inside of it.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Okay then, that would be when the coffee absorbs” Sage said and faked a smile as Zinnia walked out hoping she really puts it.

“I wonder why Queen Zinnia had to come to the kitchen herself to give you whatever it is when she could simply call any of the maids” Irene whispered as sage sucked her teeth.

“Me too I’m shocked, I will just do as she has instructed and put this stuffs when I get to my mistresses room” sage said as she took the steamy cup of coffee and headed out.

“Guy! Guys! Wake up!, Look over there, some guards are going in why don’t we follow them and act like one of them” One of guards whispered.

” Nice idea Steph!, Let’s go guys! We don’t have to let them see us this is our only chance” the head guard said as they all rode carefully and joined the guards riding in.

They kept their horses at a secluded place and hurried in to mix up and find their way.

“Be careful you all, if you see the queen make sure to get her unconscious before bringing her out”

“Leader I would advice that only two guards enter a d fetch the queen while the rest of us stand out here and act like security guards, going in there together and splitting up will make it difficult to reach back” the brunette guard said as the head guard nodded in approval.

“Zuko and Steph you both should go in and successful get the queen, we do not have much time left ”

Sage walked down the hallway with the steamy hot coffee as she entered queen pearls room with a smile curved up on her lips, she didn’t just know why but she gets happy when she sees her mistress and it’s rare, most maids do not like their mistresses but sage’s own is different, she could probably kill for her mistress if necessary.

“my queen, you look beautiful this night as usual” she said as she kept the coffee on the table watching her mistress try to sit up with her heavy belly but it was kind of hard for her “I will help you” She said as she gave her a hand.

” Thank you Sage, I don’t know what I will do without you in this situation I’m in, the baby seems to be stressing me more by day” Pearl said as she exhales heavily “Oh geez I should be in the Kings room now!, He hasn’t released me yet!” she muttered as she made to stand up.

“No no my queen relax, you can go after taking your coffee it’s really important to your health you know” Sage said as pearl calmed down and took her coffee into her mouth as her face wrinkled.

“I think I am getting bored of this everyday coffee, can’t I just take a few days break?” Pearl said dropping the coffee back on the table obviously not wanting the coffee.

“Okay, I will give you a week break then… but just finish this one” as pearl took the coffee and gulped it all at ones “uhm… My queen where are your friends?”

” They have gone to the guest room to freshen up, please I quickly need to go back to the king’s room before he comes for me” queen pearl said and made to stand up as a knock came in and was opened after some seconds.

“My queen, the king said I should inform you to sleep in your room, he is having a woman with him tonight” the guard said as he bowed and left.

A woman on his bed, a slut or his wife?, Well that’s not a new thing anyways, once a ladies man always a ladies man!.

“My queen please wait for me, I will go keep this cup and get a hot water to bath you as the whether seems cold” sage said as pearl nodded.

I don’t just know why but, but I just wanted to know the woman in his bed, I am not supposed to be worried but I am and I don’t like it.

Maybe I will pretend as if I came to take something so the situation won’t seem weird, maybe I will go take my new anklets.

I tried standing from the bed as I felt a sharp pain on my waist, yeah that’s the recent happens with this baby bump, this is the fifth month of the bump and it’s already giving me much stress.

I tried hard to stand as I successfully stood on my feet and headed out of my room, I feel like a nosy person, why don’t I just go back and rest instead of thinking of who the ladies man is fvcking.

Zinnia came out of her room about sneaking to Agent Fox’s room as usual as she sighted the seeds on the floor.

“Wait… Is this not the seed I gave to sage to put in Pearls coffee?” She thought to herself as she bite her lips confirming that it is.

Zinnia was so angry because the seeds are rare and expensive, she would have just told her that she wouldn’t put it instead of wasting it.

The seeds were meant to cause Pearl a mischarge but sage ruined the plan ones again, sage isn’t a dummy to put something given by Zinnia into her mistresses coffee after knowing Zinnia for years and knowing what she is capable of doing.

She knows that zinnia can never change and zinnia can never like pearl, Zinnia acted nice to pearl as it was a plan between her and her lover Fox.

“Look Zinnia I don’t think all this we are doing will help in anyway” Fox started seeing how pissed Zinnia was, she was angry because the king chose to ride home with pearl instead of her.

“So what are you implying?, That I should just leave her and sit watching her take my husband?” Pearls said almost yelling.

” Calm down zinnia, I can never say that… I have a very clever idea this time” fox said as zinnia signed.

” Just spill it out already”

“All you have to do in this one is to act all nice to Pearl, treat her nicely, make her feel free with you”

Fox made her do all that and she didn’t even enjoy acting fake, she also hates pearls friends for some reasons known by her.

“That girl is a bastard” Zinnia muttered angrily as she left to fox’s room.

Pearl walked down the hall way slowly in other not to fall as different thoughts ran through her mind.

Maybe she should just go back and have a hot bath that suits the weather and sleep instead of checking up on a man that doesn’t care about her.

Suddenly she felt like she was blacking out, her eyes where blurring off as she fell not reaching the ground, a hard hand held her and she hoped it was king archer.
