The Rogue Princess (Revise)

They say things happen for a reason… I wish that was true… “P-PPregnant?” “Yes, my queen is pregnant.” The doctor said, hesitating. “T-That is, impossible doctor. You yourself made the original diagnosis. I can’t be pregnant! I can’t have more children.” The woman said bitterly with a trembling voice, her eyes watering as she lowered her eyes and played with her fingers. She always wanted a big family with a lot of siblings, but after the birth of her son, due to complications, it was medically impossible.  “My Queen, I can’t explain it myself. I would like to do more tests and …”  “Pregnant…” She repeated again, a small smile appearing on her face. The door suddenly burst open, startling both of them. 2 hours earlier “Alpha!” A man almost yelled, opening the double door with such force that it hit the wall with a loud thud, astonishing all present and interrupting the important meeting, which was taking place behind the previously closed doors.  “What is the meaning of this?” Beta Mark said, standing up.  But the man did not spare him a glance. He looked at his Alpha and, with a trembling voice, said. “My King, it's the Queen.” Before he could utter another word, the King stood up, sending his chair to the ground, and raced towards his mate, leaving the council stunned and worried behind him. “Gentlemen, we will have to resume another time, the meeting is over.” The Beta said and followed behind the King, and took with him the messenger. The council began to whisper, most of them worrying about the Queen's wellbeing, but there were those who secretly prayed for the worst. A man in his 40s stood up, followed by a young boy beside him, and exited the meeting room. “This may be our chance,” he said, looking at his son with an evil smirk appearing on his face. “We have to learn what happened and act fast.” He motioned to his son, who only nodded. The king raised towards his mate, his heartbeat escalating with every step. He couldn’t reach her through the bond, which made him even more worried. He tightened his hands in fists, his wolf pressing forward. Finally, he reached the door of the Royal Suit and burst it open. “My love. Are you alright? What happened ?” He said worriedly, running towards her and kneeling beside the bed, shifting his gaze between her and the doctor, his worry limitless. The doctor looked to be hesitating, searching for help in his queen's eyes. They both stood salient for a moment which only made him panic. “What is happening, someone speak!” He said, his voice hardening at the end of the sentence. The Queen took his hands in hers, squeezing them softly, and gave him a soft smile. “You may go, doctor. Thank you for your help.” She said without looking at him. “But my Queen, we must…” “Soon I will call for you. Now please, I need to speak to my mate.” The doctor bowed his head in respect and exited the room. She turned towards her mate and smiled, tears filling her eyes, making him despair. “My love, what’s wrong? Are you sick? Is it something serious?” he said, scared. The powerful Alpha King looked like a frightened boy before his mate. “Yes. It is very serious.” She said, not being able to contain her tears anymore. He reached her face and gently caressed her wiping her tears. “Tell me please.” He begged. “Im p-pregnant.” She whispered. “What ?” His eyes widened. He thought he truly misheard her. “What did you say?” He asked again. “I am pregnant William.” She repeated, sobbing softly with tears of joy. “Pregnant?! How?” He said with mixed emotions. “I don’t know.” “That’s why you were feeling sick all the time?” She didn’t answer him, just nodded her head. A cheerful smile that reached his ears spread on his face. He gently scooped his mate in his arms, baring his nose in the crook of her neck, inhaling her sense deeply, relaxing him immediately. “A pup.” He said, kissing her head. They both stood there hugging each other, feeling blessed. A couple of hours later, a knock on the door interrupted the couple. The king signed irritated. “Enter.” The King said without breaking from his mate's embrace. The door opened and Beta Mark walked in his face unreadable. “My King, my Queen. A situation has occurred.”   “What is it, Mark? Can you not deal with it alone?” He said, annoyed. “I wish I could Alpha but they are asking for you.” “Who is it, Mark?” The Queen asked with curiosity. “My Queen, My King, The Witch Council is requesting an audience.”  The King's hands tightened around his mate protectively. “Why are they here? Did they say?” “No, Alpha.” “Fine. I will be there in a few.” He said and looked at his lovely mate caressing her belly gently with one hand. “Well, actually, Alpha, they want to meet with both of you.”  This made the King growl angrily. “Did they mention the reason?” “No, Alpha.” “Lead them to the conference room. I will meet you there.” Beta Mark nodded his head and left. “William, do you think they know?” “I don’t know baby but…” He stopped in the middle of his sentence. “What is it?” “I have a weird feeling. The coven doesn’t just visit another realm and is in the middle of peace negotiations. Let's hope they have good intentions and Izzy?”  “Hmm?”  “Do not leave my side. I couldn’t protect you if something happened to you…” “Nothing is going to happen, my love.” She said, ensuring him. Half an hour later. As the King and the Queen walked into the conference room, they were immediately encountered by the sight of three women wearing all long black coats. The women all had different colored necklaces matching their long hair. “Good evening ladies. How can we help you? Why are you here?” The King said, going straight to the point.  One of the women looked at him for a short moment and her eyes met with the queen.  “We are here for her.” She said, pointing her finger at the Queen, making her mate growl warning. “You are here for my mate?” He asked through his teeth. “No, not for her. We are here for the fruit of her belly!”
