Alpha’s Virgin Wife by Baby Charlene
Chapter 236 At The Village
Sukie had ran out and bursted into more tears the moment she was alone. Her heart was racing and her breath came quickly. She felt ashamed, she knew she had prolly disappointed Shilah, but it was inevitable. wasn’t something she could control.
From the moment they had left the Palace and all through the ride to the hall, she had been feeling nothing but bitterness each time she recalled Corrine was with them. Why did she follow them in the first place? She had been expected her to stay loyal to the Supreme Sister. Why did she equally have a change of mind? From that very point, Sukie knew hell might be leg loose as she didn’t have plans of entertaining her face.
…
She wept out there for sometimes until she heard footsteps behind her. Somehow, she could guess it was Shilah – it was obvious from the sound of her footsteps as Shilah was the only one who walked like a commander.
Sukie sniffed and dabbed some tears from her eyes, but in a split second, Shilah was standing beside her.
She exhaled deeply and looked up at the dark sky, even if she could tell Shilah was staring right at her. Another tear threatened to spill, but she blinked it back and maintained her gaze on the sky.
Shortly, she felt a hand on her shoulder – a touch that brought an unusual calmness to her soul.
Now, that was the moment she lowered her gaze from the sky and looked at Shilah. The soft expression on her face was enough to a*s*sure Sukie.
“That was not necessary, Sukie, but I understand how you feel”, she cooed.
“When I lost my son, I sincerely wished there was someone I could blame for it. I tried blaming the maids, accusing them of not being around when my son went missing. I tried blaming the guards, the midwife and even my co-wife that had turned my bestfriend. But when I realize I had no one to blame, I started blaming my goodness. And almost, just almost, it took my conscience away”.
She paused to sigh, then dropped her hand from Sukie’s shoulder.
“But you, you have someone to blame and that person is sharing the space with you. That person is someone you can see around you. So, I understand your hurt and bitterness and wouldn’t blame you for harbouring them. But I’d blame you for not controlling them. You need to focus on the task ahead, Sukie and not the personal pain you feel. Trust me when I say I understand how you feel, but you…”
“So, what am I supposed to do?” Her voice cracked. “I… I don’t even want to do this, Shilah. As a matter of fact, I hate the fact that I started a fight back there, but I cannot control my anger. Each time I set my eyes on her, it reminds me of the pain I passed through and makes me just feel line hurting her. I’m sorry, Shilah. But what can I do?”
There was so much sincerity in her eyes- so much sincerity of really wanting to let go of the grudge if truly there was a way.
Shilah properly faced her and held her both hands.
“Each time you look at her”, she began softly. “and feel that hatred, all you have to do is chose. Chose which is more needed to you – your hatred for her, or what we need to do for the Spirits”.

NEXT MORNING
*************************
At the break of dawn, the Sisters were already set to begin their ride to Daekrahm Village. Shilah had been able to buy more horses. Of course, she couldn’t get enough horses for every single sister, so they had to share – two on one.
Shilah was the only one seated alone. And in unison, they began their journey to Daekrahm Village.
***
It was a long stressful journey. They couldn’t get there at the end of the day. So, they had to camp for the night.
The fire camp was so much fun as the sisters had engaged in interesting and hilarious conversations. They talked about their experiences outside and within the Palace and some of the embarra*s*sing moments they’ve had to face. They could barely sleep through the night as they kept conversing, laughing and not wanting it to end.
From the moment, Shilah had gotten to understand a lot of them and not just her, but it also created a kind of bond between some of the sisters.
It was a worthy night. And by morning, they resumed their journey to Daekrahm Village.

15 HOURS LATER…
**********************
Ora was playing with her little child, trying to cradle him to sleep when all of a sudden, Zinnia ran into the house, panting heavily.
Over the months, she hadn’t been on good terms with her step daughter, but seeing her that way, made her concerned.
“What is wrong, Zinnia? Who have you wronged? Who are you running from?” The woman panicked, trying to set the baby so she could stand up.
“The…The Witches, Mother!”, she panted.
“The witches are in the village! And… they’re being led by the Alpha King’s wife – the one we believe is the mother of this child!”
