Carrying the Alpha's Heir novel Chapter 24

Chapter 22: Revelation

For unknown reason, my sleep calmed me down a bit. It was an advantage because I can think clearly now. I held my chest; I can still feel the pain, but my head is pushing myself to be numb. It’s better this way.

Vigor wasn’t there already when I woke up. I remember wearing my boots on when I slept but it’s already removed from me when I woke up.

I wore it again and went to the closet to change more comfortable clothes. I grabbed a black legging and a lose shirt for my tummy. I also grabbed a hoodie, because it might be cold from the outside.

I took a glance on our wall clock, it’s already 8 pm. I slept for more than 4 hours. Maybe I was really tired. But now that I am recharged, I think I could run even though I am pregnant.

I took a deep breath and slowly walk to the window to see the outside. Our room has 2 windows, one facing the front of the house, and one to the right side of the house.

Seeing Leandro and Lex talking in front made me nervous. This is the first time I ever saw them being in the mansion. Did Vigor informed them about what happened to me?

“Yes, I will just check her out.” I heard a faint voice of a woman walking to our room.

I hastily went to the bed and covered myself, leaving my face uncovered. Whoever that person is, she might get confused why I changed my clothes. When the door opened, I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep.

“She’s still sleeping, overly covered.” The woman spoke. I think she’s on call with someone.

I don’t recognize the voice, maybe on of the clan. I don’t know what’s happening out there, but it seems like they are extra careful about me.

Damn it, I should have never reacted, I should have runaway unnoticed.

…

THIRD PERSON’S VIEW

All the Vista was called in one of the Villas for a meeting. Even the clan was present. Vigor clenched his jaws and let out a loud growl.

“Who the fuck opened the art room?!” He said loudly, making all of his brethren gasp.

“The key perhaps was left on the altar when one of you was cleaning,” Riva, the mother of the Vista’s said to the ladies in line.

“I-I didn’t expect that the lady will come,” One of them answered.

“You didn’t told her about Lady Viennese?” Lex Vista said in a firm respectable voice.

They went silent, even Vigor just closed his eyes and calmed his raging breath.

“That’s not the point! Pyress might be shocked seeing his Alpha form on the painting!” Liria butts in, standing up, trying to insert that fact to everyone present in the area.

“What do you mean, Liria. She was only confronting me about V-viennese…” Vigor angrily stated the first sentence, but got soften upon whispering her name.

Liria got angry, she stomped her feet loudly towards Vigor and gave him a slap on his face. She don’t care if the man was the leader of the Clan. She doesn’t belong, though.

The gasp of the Vistas of what she did was loud, shocked upon her move.

“Wake up you dumb fuck! Of course, she would be angry about that fact especially that it’s obvious that you’re not over with your first lover! Are you crazy? Did you ever think of what she might be feeling when she’s confronting you about her but you’re acting like shit?!” Liria stepped backwards and face the clan. “If she saw Lady Viennese on the painting, she might have seen the Alpha! Do you know what might happen to her upon seeing the exact same creature that raped her in the art room?”

They got silent; Vigor’s heart is already pounding so hard.

“B-but..”

“Yes of course, she might have second thoughts of believing because that fact is surreal. However, we can’t guarantee that she’s not in pain!”

“That’s enough! You have no rights to slap and raise your voice-“ Liria cut Leandro off.

“I have the right to speak what’s best for the clans. Maybe you have forgotten your place, you filthy unripe wolf.” Liria said, her eyes twinkled with sapphire, as blue as the dept of the seas.

“I am Liriana Serine, I am the next leader of the army underneath the seven seas. If this issue will reach my mother, they won’t get silent about this.” She said and glared at Leandro.

Lex Vista went to his wife and pulled her close. Liria is hard to calm when she’s angry. She’s a warrior and a princess. Aside from that fact, it was known that the Mermaids have the closest relationship with the Sylrians, the ruler of the five creatures.
