Alpha’s Virgin Wife by Baby Charlene
Chapter 167 Someone To Talk To
Shilah had woken up to some gurgling feel down her throat.
Jumping out of bed, she ran into the bathroom, not noticing the King who had been writing at his table. Of course, he dropped his feather and stood up to go after her.
“Shilah! Are you okay?” He asked tenderly as he stood behind her, holding her back, and she didn’t reply him until she was done throwing up.
“Good morning, My King” she greeted giddily, using the back of her palm to wipe her lips .
“What happened?? Are you okay?” Dakota ignored her greeting and asked worriedly.
It looked so beautiful to Shilah, watching him get so worried because of her.
“I’m…. I’m fine. I don’t know, I just feel really…. dizzy. And sick” she muttered, and immediately, the King touched her forehead.
“For Selene’s sake! You’re running a temperature!” His brows crinkled.
“Darco!” He looked towards the direction of the door and called, and in no time, the guard came running in.
“My King!” He bowed, stopping close to the bed since he could see the King at the door of the bathroom already.
“Quickly! Go get Mato and Ahiga” he ordered.
“As you wish, My King” Darco bowed and left immediately. Then, he turned back to Shilah.
“Come on now, you should sit” holding her shoulder, he supported her to the bed and helped her sit.
“What do you feel like eating? Some brownish soup? Some….” Before he could get the next option of his mouth, Shilah had already belched and ran into the bathroom again for a throw up.
“Shilah?” Dakota was confused as he went after her.
“Oh! I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. But please, do not mention that name ever again” she nettled, wiping her lips.
King Dakota couldn’t understand as he had known brownish soup to be one of her favourites. All of a sudden, it’s making her throw up?
“If…if you say so. So, what would you want?” He shrugged.
“I… I really don’t know” she pouted her lips.
“I feel hungry, but don’t even know what exactly to eat” she stared down at her nails for a second.
“Well… Maybe, you should get me some potatoes and fried eagle eggs”.
“Eagle eggs???” Dakota flinched. “Where do you expect to get eagle eggs from, Shilah??? I don’t understand”.
“I don’t know! But that’s what I felt like eating” she whimpered and began bawling on his chest, releasing some tears.
“Goodness!” Dakota mumbled to himself. “Mato really needs to come checks up on you”.

THE GREAT OAKS VILLAGE ✍️
***************************
Sukie turned sleepily on the bed, the rays from the morning sun perturbing her a little.
She turned away from it’s direction, but couldn’t fall asleep again. Thus, she had to sit up.
Scouring her eyes around, she discovered she was the only one in the room – nàked and under the duvet. Sister Kylie had left the room already? She thought.
She stood up afterwards, went into the bathroom for a quick bath. And oncoming out in her short towel, she found the Queen entering into the room.
“Hey” Kylie beamed immediately. “At last, you’re awake”.
“Greetings, Supreme Sister” Sukie lowered her head immediately.
“Greetings to you too, Sukie. Trust you had a great night?” Kylie asked as she shut the door behind her and walked towards the table.
She was fully dressed like one who was going out – dressed in her long red garment, except the hoodie was not over her head yet.
“It was pleasant, Supreme Sister. And yours?”
“Oh! Mine was excellent”. She smiled and flipped the pages of the book she wanted from the table. Sukie decided to dress up and proceeded to the wardrobe .
“Yesterday, you told me you were going to get a surprise for me, Sukie” Kylie’s voice halted her.
“But you returned and didn’t say a word about it. Didn’t you see what you were looking for?”
Slowly, she turned to face the Queen and found her staring at her. She didn’t think she would ask.
“Of… Of course, I did, Supreme Sister” she bowed and proceeded to the wardrobe, dipping her hand into her bag and coming out with a fine bracelet.
“This is what I found, My Queen” she took it to Kylie who was already having a smile on her face.
“I hope you like it”.
“Oh! Sukie, aren’t you such a darling?” She drawled as she collected it from her, staring so dearly at it.
“This is super beautiful – first time you’re getting me a gift!” She giggled as she wore it round her wrist, And afterwards, gave Sukie a tight hug.
“Thank you so much, dear. You’ve always been the best”. She beamed.
But at that instance, Sukie realized something different, the one thing she’s been missing.
She froze at the spot, her mind lingering around it.
The hug.
Now, it became so clear to her – why Pishan’s hug had felt different to her the previous day. That was the one factor she was missing.
Pishan’s hug had felt different to her ’cause that was the first time a male had been hugging her. That was the first time she was getting that touched by a male.
Her whole life, she had been used to being around females alone. And for years, she had been used to being touched intimately by The Supreme Sister alone.
Oh! That was the reason it felt so different. It felt so different, but .. she had liked it when it happened.
“You should get dressed” Kylie’s voice broke into her fantasy thoughts.
“I want us to have breakfast outside today. There’s a nice restaurant I heard of and would really want to give it a try. So, hurry up”.
“O…. Okay, Supreme Sister. I’ll do that right away” Sukie stuttered and proceeded to the wardrobe.

NOSHEBA’S DUNGEON ✍️
***********************
The dry piece of bread had gone a long way for Nosheba as it gave her a little bit of strength – and hope. What she needed next was water and her prison mate had a*s*sured her they’d bring some water soon.
They had both been quiet for a long time, although it was so obvious they had a lot to ask, or talk about. They just didn’t know how to go about it since they still felt they were strangers.
But being the only ones locked up in the area, they knew the brooding silence couldn’t last for long.
“Why are you here?” The woman went first, finally breaking the silence and making Nosheba look at her.
Her face was covered in dirt and was so obvious she hadn’t received care in a long time, but beneath that dirty face, Nosheba could see a really beautiful face.
Somehow, her face looked familiar – especially the eyes. It looked like she had seen them elsewhere before.
Taking a deep breath, she stared down at the floor before her.
“I was hungry and tried stealing from their horses. But, they caught me and brought me here”. She mumbled, her heart twitching from the pain.
“Oh!” The woman sighed pathetically.
“But I think… they only bring special people here. The last person that was brought here was actually a wolf” she paused and looked at Nosheba who was already seeming surprised.
“Which are you? A wolf? Or a vampire?”
“A… A wolf” she stuttered, gulping hard.
“I see. You look like one, anyway” the woman chuckled.
“Uhm… These special Prisoners, where are they? What happened to them?” Nosheba asked worriedly.
“Well…I honestly do not know. As for me, I’ve been here the whole time. But for the others, the hunters just shows up at any time and take them away. I don’t know what happens to them”. The woman explained, instilling more fear in Nosheba.
What would happen to her?? What are they going to do with her??
She gulped nervously and looked at the woman.
“So, wh… why haven’t they taken you?” She asked anxiously. “Why are you the only one left and keep receiving special treatments from them?”
“Special treatments, you say?” The woman scoffed and laughed so hard.
“You are one funny one, lady. You think being locked in here for years and getting fed on bread and grains is worth being called a special treatment? They only feed me ’cause they need me to have more blood. Weekly, they come here with some equipments and take a good quant*ity of my blood away”.
“Your blood?” Nosheba flinched. “Wh… Why?”
And with a smile, the woman looked at her and whispered, “I am a witch”.
The shock in Nosheba’s eyes was so evident, the woman smiled and leaned her head back on the wall.
“The blood of a witch serves many purposes and a good user would definitely earn from it”.
Suddenly, it dawned on Nosheba. Her mind drifted to months ago when Shilah had been shot and the poison from the arrow was discovered to be made from the blood of a witch. She could remember the King riding to confront the witches who swore they knew nothing about it.
So, it was all a set up the whole time? The hunters were the ones behind it but wanted to create a war between the wolves and witches??
Blessed Selene!
“Could you tell me more about yourself?” The woman suddenly asked with a light smile.
“Why were you trying to steal from the hunters? Maybe we should get to know each other. You tell me your story, and I tell you mine”.
