"A baby is something you carry inside you for nine months, in your arms for three years, and in your heart until the day you die." — Mary Mason

Allcar seemed tired, the dark circles under his eyes and the sadness transpiring from them when his gaze failed upon Lorel, was all I needed to understand that he was tormented.
Lorel didn't dare look at the man, Allcar got up from his seat and Shaked my hand. I led them in my office where we took place around a large round table. Errol asked the maid to serve us some tea.
"It seems you had a rough night, Allcar. I hope it won't affect your judgement for our future plans." I took some of the documents and searched for a specific one.
"No, your highness, don't worry. I just had to deal with the miners in one of my caves. Some issues came up…"A humorless chuckle escaped his lips, he looked exhausted. Lorel came back into the room, I could only see the concern in his eyes. Oh come on you rejected the man, stop looking at him like that if you don't want him.
"Lorel you can go, I need you to check on our friend." He bowed and left the room. I gave the document to Allcar, his eyes widened in shock.
"What will you do, will you continue with the knight?" He scratch his chin, a smirk plastered on his face.
"Yes, I still need this baby. Now I have to think of a better plan, this could change the outcome of our mission." I couldn't help but caress my stomach, though empty- it felt warm. I really need this baby…
"But this changes everything, you won't need to put your body through this bizarre operation. You won't have to become…a freak. Your highness thinks about the way this news would be received by your people. You are an alpha, a very strong man, admired by many. Seeing your body change, become round with life, you are not made for this. This is not right." He spoke clearly without any fear of repercussions, because he was right. This was absolutely ridiculous, I wasn't made to bear children, I was made to rule and dominate.
Yet, the prospect of this child growing in me, made with another alpha was to be considered.
"Now, like you said, I am an alpha. A very powerful one, the descendants of the knight were warriors. If the both of us create a child he would be the perfect emperor. This child would be the hope for my people." Allcar laid back in his chair thinking. He looked at me and finally asked.
"Then what about this? You can't get married twice, it's not right under the law and before the gods. At least not in our culture." He tapped the documents.
"A proposal sure won't suffice, perhaps annulling the wedding? I do not wish to do that." I want to remain married to Hassan until the baby is here. This is the only way.
"Then what?"He asked me.
"Sure this could help." I showed him a text of law that would be very useful to us.
"And what excuse will you use?" I smirked and got up from my chair. I took all the documents in my hands and left them on my desk near the door.
"You will see." I got out of the room.

-Hassan-
The domestic barely even looked at me, he left the food on the floor near enough so that I could reach it through the barrier. I screamed his name but he didn't acknowledge me, only when I heard a second pair of feet coming near my cell, did the little man stop to bow.
"Thank you, Lorel. Ah, it seems you are awake, dear husband." He had gloves in his hands, he looked very polished today. His hair was tied in a bun, his clothes were decorated with gold and his earrings were in emerald. He was very handsome. It angered me even more, I was used to sleeping in very harsh places due to my training. But this was ridiculous, I didn't deserve to be left in a cell.
"Why am I here?" My voice was rough, I let some of my pheromones out. Without even thinking. I let him have his ways with me only because he is entertaining but this is going too far.
"You were in a brothel, you breached our contract. You need to learn your lesson. Listen little knight, we are talking about the future of the people here, the legitimacy of our future child and you are messing around with some cheap prostitute. I know that I wasn't so easy to sleep with but you could have waited a few weeks until my surgery was done. I would have given my body." He gave me a look of disgust and disdain. He chuckled and slowly put on his gloves. I smirk at his attitude.
"This situation is ridiculous, Hassan. You are a respectable knight, why would you do something like that?" He tilted his head to the side. He smiled and his hand found my neck.
My heart skipped a beat when I felt his hold tightening.
He squeezed it but I didn't react. Suddenly he brought me forward, forcing my head against the gate. Damn, he is strong. I didn't struggle to let him think that I was powerless.
"Listen up, you fool. This better be the last time I see you with another woman, man, bitch that is. The next time you dare lay your dirty hands on another, I will use you like a dairy cow and you will remain in this cell. Don't underestimate me dear husband." He finally let go of my neck and took out the keys to the cell. I chuckled at his sudden confidence.
He opened the gate and let me out.
My pheromones were out of control, I walked toward him menacingly. He took a step back each time until we were squeezed together against the dirty wall of the prison.
I blocked his way out with one hand against the wall and another firmly gripping his hair. I tilted his head to the side.
"Your highness, you shouldn't underestimate me either. We were friends during childhood and now we are husbands but you shouldn't take my trust for granted." I whispered in his ear, biting it in the process. He let out a muffled moan.
"I serve the people of this empire, not the aristocrats and their schemes. I chose to help you because I know that you will be a better emperor than those in your family. But don't play with me, my visit to the brothel was to see a friend and I promised to you that I would remain faithful. I never break a promise." I tightened my grip on his hair, I could smell the excitement in his pheromones.
"Never."I whispered one last time before letting go of his hair. He looked like he was about to slap me, the bulge in his pants visible, his flushed face. He looked delicious.
I can't wait to taste him.
I turned around toward the exit of the disgusting tunnel leaving him there.
