Alpha’s Virgin Wife by Baby Charlene
Chapter 152 A Moment With The King
“Why do you think they’re here?” Shilah turned to Dyani and asked, whisperingly.
Ahiga had to hesitate on getting the meal as she wanted to comprehend what was going on. Darci was still standing and watching.
“Uhm….I think you should just let them in” Dyani advised.
And heeding to that, Shilah asked Darci to let them in. And he bowed and left.
Awaiting their entrance, Shilah couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. She’s never had any cordial relationship with any of the Lunas and kept wondering why they’d all want to see her. Did she do something wrong? Or perhaps, was there a problem?
She kept wondering. And finally, the door went open with the unfamiliar faces walking in. Some looked familiar though, as Shilah had seen them some months ago when she had accompanied the King to the general meeting. But having them in her room was something she never thought could happen.
Quickly, she stood on her feet – and Dyani did same.
“Greetings to you, Dear Lunas” she lowered her head in obeisance, noting the women were six in number – all sophisticatedly dressed and adorned with too many jewelries.
A maid was with them, holding a big wrapped box.
“Please, you should sit, Queen Shilah. You do not need to stress yourself” the one in front said as she rushed to hold Shilah’s shoulder and helped her sit.
She looked older than her, actually.
“Thank you” Shilah muttered with a nervous smile.
“Greetings to you too, Shilah. How are you doing?” Another asked, standing close to the door.
“I’m doing just fine, My Queen. Thank you” Shilah replied.
“Have you eaten? Have you…” The same woman tried asking but was interrupted by another.
“We should go straight to the point, Veronica, so we do not have to waste the young lady’s time”. The third Queen interrupted, making all eyes turn on her.
That was too obvious – Shilah thought.
The second Queen, tilted her head and spared her a deadly stare before taking her gaze away, but she didn’t seem to care.
“Uhm .. we really wouldn’t want to waste your time, Queen Shilah, as it obvious you have to rest and equally get ready for your banquet” the one standing in front of her spoke genially.
“Actually, we were there at the banquet yesterday and saw everything that happened. We are aware of everything you’ve passed through and also know you are pregnant. So…. having a little meeting amongst ourselves, we decided to present this little gift to you, to congratulate you and also, welcome you into motherhood. We also want to thank you for conceiving the Alpha King’s heir on your first trial. You’ve done so well, Queen Shilah” she paused and turner to the maid in the room, beckoning on her to come closer, and she did.
“Please, accept this from us” she collected the box from the maid and handed it to Shilah who collected it wholeheartedly.
It was so big and felt really heavy.
“Wow” Shilah chuckled, staring down at the box.
“I do not even know what to say. I wasn’t … I wasn’t expecting this for you” she looked at them.
“But thank you. Thank you so much. I’m grateful”.
“We’re glad you like it, Shilah” another beamed.
“Just take care of yourself, and the baby too”.
“I …I will. Thank you very much” she bowed her head, feeling really blessed.
Such display of grat*itude.
“We should leave you to rest now. And equally get ready for your party” the one in front said.
“All the best, Queen Shilah. We will meet again”.
And with other pleasantries, they all left.
“Hm. Guess that wasn’t too scary” Dyani chuckled as she sat next to Shilah on the bed.
“Luckily. I wonder what is in here” Shilah said with furrowed brows as she studied the box.
“Maybe, I should open it later” she looked at Ahiga.
“Please, I’m hungry. Can I get my food?”
“Of course” Ahiga answered delightfully and brought one of the meals to her.
*********************
Few hours later, and Shilah was standing in front of the mirror, staring at her beautiful reflection as the maids worked on her hair.
She looked more beautiful, and also seemed a little fatter.
To think she’d actually be facing a lot of important guests made her feel so unsettled. Few days ago, she had no idea she’d be back in the Palace. Few days ago, she had no idea she’d be having a party held in her name. How did she get so lucky – again?
“Is this style good enough for you, My Queen? Or you would want us to try another?” The maid asked and Shilah paused to study her look in the mirror.
Well…. It seemed good on her.
She was about giving a reply when the door went open, and staring from the window, she discovered it was the King.
The King…!
She shook a little, having those unwanted goosebumps on her skin. Urgh! His presence was always making her so nervous.
The maids stepped away and bowed immediately.
“Greetings, Alpha King”.
But King Dakota said nothing immediately as he kept his eyes fixed on Shilah – looking so calm.
He stared at her from behind, while Shilah equally stared at him from the mirror. And at some point, she began to wonder if something was wrong with the way he stared at her.
“Leave us” he suddenly said to the maids who quickly bowed and left.
