ALPHA QUEEN

Chapter 2

Princess Hera felt something soft and warm below her, her brain didn't need to think much before it knew she was laying on a bed. The feeling of a strange skin touching hers made her jolt up.

" Lay back down Hera, you are being examined"

Alpha king Darius instructed his daughter, and the tone in his voice left no room for debate.

The Physician placed two of his fingers on Hera's hand, looking for and trying to feel her pulse. With each touch, his eyes widened! at a revelation he diagnosed but still didn't say a word.

Physician Eastorwine proceeded with the general observation and examination of princess Hera, using a stethoscope. He placed it on her chest, neck, but not before asking for proper permission to do his work from Alpha king Darius.

" My Lord, if my predictions be right, then the goddess has shown her light upon us. In her highness grows a child"

Physician Eastorwine bows his neck not mincing his words. If his diagnosis turns out to be incorrect as a royal physician, his career will not just be over, his neck will have to fall to the ground along with his head.

All three components of him, his body, his spirit, and his soul shivered. Everyone in the kingdom knows of this tradition. The heir and soon to be Alpha King or Alpha Queen was not to have intimacy until after coronation. Physician Eastorwine needed to tread with caution.

" To test if my diagnosis is true, I humbly request for some drop of her Highness's urine so it may be tested accordingly."

Alpha King Darius gave his daughter a firm look, conflicted on how to react upon hearing this news.

If this news should go out, it would question Princess Hera's legitimacy on the throne.

" Go Hera do as instructed, this must be settled before your coronation"

" Yes Father"

Inanna, a small figure lady, not more than eighteen years walked into the room, bowing her neck as a sign of submission and respect before her Alpha king before walking to her princess's side, lifting her by her arm.

Hera walked in Inanna's arms till she got to her bathing chamber.

" Would this news cause you any harm? Is it strong enough to stop your reign on the throne?"

Hera picked Inanna against tens of girls when she was just fifteen, she has been her right handmaid and the closest thing to a friend for a long period of three years now.

Inanna has come to love Hera as a senior sister and best friend, she never for once misused her privilege and vowed loyalty till the end.

" People would question my heart to the throne, I'm already at a disadvantage because of my gender. My uncle and his descendants never for once hid their interest in the throne from me or my father.

I'm aware I was in the wrong, but Inanna what would you have done differently if our roles were changed? How do they expect me to beat heat season in and out until my coronation? I'm a werewolf, and an Alpha at that, I need my mate's company and touch to feel sane.

Damn with their rules and tradition, it would be the first thing I break when I'm crowned Alpha Queen".

Hera's eyes sparkled with mischief, already envisioning the disbelief, disappointment, and shock on the face of the masses as she breaks their century-long tradition one by one.

" I'm missing him Inanna, his green eyes light up my day, his deep humorous tone, his perfectly built broad chest, triangle-pointed nose, sharp yet smooth jaw, and the nicely trimmed beards underneath them. Is he not perfect Inanna?"

" How do you expect me not to play with his blond hair, or want to lay on his broad chest."

Hera shut her legs tighter, trying to hide what she was feeling

"Are You aroused, your Highness?"

Inanna could not hold it in and ask, she might be an omega, but her nose works fine just like any other werewolf.

Hera burst out laughing, it was awkward and comforting at the same time.

" Sorry Inanna, but I can't just help it, we had better get on with our reason for coming here, if we don't want Alpha King Darius barging in here"

Her sentence was laced with humor. The two came out after a short while, and Inanna presented the princess urine in a bowl before excusing herself to go stand in a corner.

A bottle of wine was requested by the physician, he mixed the urine a wine and watched for resulting changes. His word turned out to be true and was ordered by the king not to say a word.

" Get dressed, your coronation holds today"

Alpha King Darius left the room after speaking those words. Hera could not depict her father's emotion, but she was sure that the throne was connected to it.

Inanna pick up the silhouette first, fitting into Hera's body, it reached as low as her knees, it was narrow, and emphasis was placed on her bust, waist, and hip. Next was a corset, it was tied neatly around her, then a basket was used to mold her body to the desired shape, then the princess sheath dress. The short sleeves were very tight-fitted, and the dress had a square neckline.

Princess Hera's hair was pulled back at the sides and worn in a high knot with a fringe over her forehead.

"Inanna I will do it, Father would be disappointed in front of the people but he would understand later. Get me dressed quickly, and let's give the crowd what to gossip about after this coronation"
