Alpha’s Virgin Wife by Baby Charlene
Chapter 131
There was someone at the door? Nosheba thought dreadfully, her eyes nearly bulging out of it’s sockets as she turned swiftly and faced the door, together with Dagger.
And on the other hand, outside the door was Nosheba’s maid – Nivea – and Dyani’s maid – Anya.
Anya had decided to come eavesdrop at the Queen’s door to know why Dagger of all people was the one delivering fruits to her. And getting to the door, she was surprisingly over- hearing things she never thought she could hear. But unfortunately, Nivea arrived and had caught up with her.
“What’re you eavesdropping at??” Nivea asked again, angrily. “What gives you the right to eavesdrop at my Queen’s room?”
Anya was speechless, still overwhelmed by the conversation she had just heard that Queen Nosheba was the one behind Shilah’s set up.
The door went up open with Nosheba walking out. And immediately, without further hesitation, she turned around and started running away.
“No!” Nosheba screamed. “Nivea! Go get her!”
Quickly, Nivea dropped the things she had in her hands and ran after the scared Anya. Nosheba couldn’t join in the run as she was scared of being caught or seen and had to wait outside her door, hyperventilating.
Dyani’s maid had overheard them??? She was dead! Completely dead!
.
Between the two maids, Anya tried running as fast as she could, but being a weaker wolf, Nivea was catching up so fast. And the passage seemed to be so empty.
She couldn’t control her fears knowing her Queen had been right the whole time and Shilah was completely innocent. She couldn’t control it. Queen Dyani had to know about it.
She ran as fast as she could but soon enough, Nivea caught up with her and that had happened at the beginning of a staircase.
“No! Let me go!” She yelled out, fighting with Nivea’s grip as she turned her to face her.
“You snitch!” Nivea growled, gripping her neck tight. “You have to pay for your stupidity”.
And immediately, she grew out her claws and pierced them right into Anya’s chest.
A fearful scream erupted Anya’s lips and using the last strength she had, she pushed Nivea off, and ended up rolling down the long staircase in return.
Nivea watched her as she rolled down and realized she collapsed unconsciously. But she didn’t look dead.
Quickly, she tried running down the staircase to finish the job, but hearing footsteps from the other end stopped her and she hastily looked for a place to hide.
Luckily, the footsteps were being made by some guards – two guards who had heard the scream and decided to come check it out. They were shocked when they found the maid unconscious on the floor, bleeding from the chest and head.
“This looks like Queen Dyani’s maid” one of them pointed out. “What could’ve happened to her?”
“This is no time for questions. Come on, let’s help her out” the other said.
And together, the two guards bent over to help her up.
…
Nivea stepped out of her hiding place as she watched the two guards take Anya away.
No! No! For Selene’s sake, this was not good at all! Anya was still alive!
She remained where she was and hit her fist – wondering what she had probably heard from her Queen and what she would do the moment she wakes up. How did this happen??

Nosheba was restlessly pacing round the room, her heart beating so loudly in her chest. Dagger was still there with her, just leaning on the table and watching her like he was observing her movements.
“I’ve told you to keep calm, Nosheba. Anya has always been a weakling” He spoke in that unbothered tone of his, with his thumb caressing his lower lip.
“It’s really interesting how you got to know this lady, Dagger. Don’t you think?” Nosheba scoffed and looked at him.
“Oh! Please” he rolled his eyes. “She’s just someone from my past. And besides, I’m only trying to help”.
“Well, if you really want to help, then I’d suggest you just shut up and leave!” Came the snap and just then, the door went open with Nivea walking in.
Nosheba forgot all about Dagger and ran to her maid who wasn’t looking so well.
“Yes?” She opened her palms.
“How did it go, Nivea? Is she dead?” Guiltily, Nivea shook her head.
“I’m so sorry, My Queen. I couldn’t finish it up”. Nosheba was silent, disappointedly silent.
“I… I had pierced her with my claws, and she rolled down the staircase behind us. I tried going to finish the job, but spend some guards showed up which prompted me to hide. And .. they took her away…”
“How could you be so stupid, Nivea?!” Nosheba roared.
“Why would you let them take her away, knowing she’s alive???”
“I’m so sorry….”
“She overheard our conversation and prolly knows I’m the one behind Shilah’s set up. How could you let this happen to me???”
Panting heavily, she turned to Dagger.
“It’s all your fault, you snake!! It’s all your fault!!” She ran to him and tried hitting his chest, but Dagger was quick enough to stop her.
“Get a grip of yourself, Nosheba” he held her hands. “I could finish the job for you if you actually want”.
“This is a Palace and not your place! Do you really think you can move around to the Physician’s quarters without being questioned??” She rasped and still succeeded in hitting his chest.
“Just get out of here! LEAVE before you get me into more trouble!” Dagger smirked at her.
“I’ll leave now” he said.
“But don’t forget you still owe me”. And winking at her, he left the room.
