BETROTHED TO THE ALPHA

Chapter 7



I slowly blinked my eyes open to see King Archer sitting on the blue couch angrily looking at me with his queens by his side staring at me with regrets, I wondered why they gave me such look.

My eyes drifted to the doctor standing by my left wearing his beaked masks, leather gloves, and long coats, what was the need for a calling a doctor for a mere situation.

“What’s going on?” I finally found my voice as my eyes landed on the King who was burning with fury, I wanted to Know the curse of his anger.

“My queen you are one month pregnant” The king said making me nearly choke as I giggled, that was just so funny to me because it wasn’t possible.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“You’re joking with me now right?, You better stop the joke and be serious because it isn’t funny” I said angrily as I sat up.

” My queen this isn’t a joke at all”

“Pearl will you be serious and explain how you got pregnant!!” The king yelled making me flinch in fear, what am I supposed to say?, I am very sure that it isn’t possible except it’s magic.

“I always knew right from when she stepped into this castle that she would bring shame to this family… Such a whore!” Zinnia cursed as tears streamed down my eyes, I could see how serious the issue was and that made me know that it was true… But how?.

The thought of me dying wasn’t a child’s play, the king is sure going to kill me if this is really true.

“It can’t be true my king, one month ago I was still in coma fighting for my life” I cried as he ran his fingers through his hair in frustration.

“So what are you trying to say?, That the holy spirit slept with you? Maybe you’re the Mary of our time. Or maybe Zeus slept with you” the king yelled in disgust, I could see the burning anger in him, he would tear me apart of care is not taken.

The King Archer couldn’t imagine losing Pearl like that, he has planned to break her virginity that night, he was so happy that he would be her first as she was the only innocent wife he had.

He hated her for being pregnant, he would definitely kill her because he can’t watch her flaunting another man’s child in his castle, he can’t train another mans child, he doesn’t even need a child yet.

He was still full of life, he had planned on exploring Pearls body till he gets tired of her but here she is sitting on her bed crying stupidly.

He thought she was a fresh blood by what he had heard from her parents and her attitude made him think so, he never knew she was wild and yet she is pretending not to know about her pregnancy.

“She isn’t a whore or anything of that nature, you slept with her and got her pregnant Archer quit calling her name” Prince Ray said walking towards them as they stared at him in confusion.

“Ray stop joking around this is a serious issue!” King Archer yelled angrily as Ray clicked his tongue.

“Don’t you remember?, That night when you and Dad that went to a mask party and you got drunk?” Ray pointed out as he crossed his legs together.

“And what does that have to do with pearl being pregnant for a bastard” King Archer stamped his foot hard angryly.

“Just try to remember, you need to calm down and use your brain”

Right before Their father fell ill he had plotted with one of the guards to make sure that King Archer got drunk to stupor, he was served numerous liquor while the ladies swiggled their waist in the rythme of the song making King Archer happy as he drank more.

His father was never in support of Archer being a ruthless womanizer, he wanted his son to have a heir. He couldn’t watch the throne be given to another family making them commoners.

He had worked so hard for the kingdom over the years and it would be a shame to loose the throne because of his second son Archer.

Originally Ray would have been crowned king but Ray was never the type that was after the throne or was ready to rule, Ray was only concerned about his family and his profession as a chemist.

The King not liking any of Archers wife because of their reputation and reason they where married decided to use his son’s betrothed as a bite to give his son a kid.

He knew that pearl was in coma and was unconscious, he knew that it would be wrong to take advantage of her state but still he had to do what he needed to do to keep his lineage in power.

King Archer was taken out of the party by the guards as they all rode on the chariot to the physicians house who treated Pearl.

One of the guards knocked on the crooked weak door gently, a door that just a push could break open, you could even say that the thatched cottage could fall too.

“Welcome His highness and his Noble guards, what have I done to deserve this visit?” The old lady said in a bow as the king walked forward forcing a smile.

“I have come personally to thank you for your good works in treating my son’s future wife, I’d like to give you some sweets made from the palace” the king said snapping his fingers to the back as one of the guards handed him a beautiful rapt sweet.

His soon Ray as a chemist had made the sweet and added some sleeping chemicals in it.

“Would really love to taste a sweet made from the royal kitchen… Please come in my king” she said happily unraping the sweet.

The king whispered somethings into one of his guards ears as he entered inside with the rest of the guards.

The king was running impatient as the lady hasn’t slept yet but kept saying things that he didn’t want to hear, the king never wanted to go the hard way because of his reputation as he kept calm nodding to everything she said.

Soon the old lady dozed off making the king smile mischievously as his deed was about to be done.

He looked over to the innocent pearl who was Lying unconsciously on the bed looking dead with a pale skin.

“I just have to do this” he thought as he snapped at the guards who helped drunk Archer in as he babbled rubbish from his mouth and laughed to himself.

He was taken to the room where Pearl was as the door was closed leaving them both together in there.

“NO!!, father didn’t do This!, Why!” King Archer yelled in fury on remembering that nights incident.

The thought of him sleeping with an unconscious woman wasn’t his problem at all, he was mad that all this was kept away from his till this day.

He was so angry at Ray for knowing and not telling him, all he wanted to do was flay Ray’s skin till his satisfaction but Ray is his elder brother he can’t do that to him.

He angrily sat on the black armchair as his veins popped out in anger with his teeth gnitched together.

That was the last thing he expected!, A whole month of pregnancy was just too much and wouldn’t be advisable to be aborted.

King Archer turned to the shocked Pearl who couldn’t believe that she was raped in coma, Not just king archer that is cruel his family members are also cruel.

Tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably as the thought of being pregnant hit her brain hard, she wished she died at once instead of being pregnant for the ruthless King.

She was sure that the king will kill her for defiling his rule but yet still she wasn’t at fault she never knew she was pregnant she thought she was still the virgin she left herself.

“I will be leaving now” the doctor said without getting any response as he bowed and exited.

“As we all know, the king doesn’t need a child yet so we either kill Pearl or we abort the child” Zinnia said with her hands crossed against her chest while the rest of the Queen’s nodded.

Pearl didn’t want anyone at all, she might not be happy being pregnant but still she couldn’t see herself be a murderer, she would never wish to kill her baby neither does she want to die.

She found herself speechless the whole time, she couldn’t find her voice as tears uncontrollably streamed down her cheeks keeping her eyes swollen.

King Archer just sat on the armchair staring into space and thinking of the next action to take, he isn’t the perfect father any kid could have, he was the worst.

He still had long years ahead of him to explore women of different races, him getting a kid means that he has to be responsible and he couldn’t see himself doing that.

“Archer I don’t think you should harm her, by the way she didn’t get herself pregnant… You did, so accept her at ones” Prince Ray said softly as King Archer traced his fingers through his hair in confusion.

“There is no way that is happening Ray, stay out of this!, Pearl can’t give birth to that child!” Zinnia shouted as the king raised his head staring deep into Pearls eyes with no Expression written on his face.

“We are keeping the baby”
