The Royal Baby

A discovery

Nicholas POV

I tried all I could to ignore her and not make eye contact with her. I had not wanted to come for breakfast but Raymond forced me to and I had no other option than to present it there. Coming to the royal dining hall to have a meal and leave as fast as I could, but I could even concentrate because she was seated across from me. I tried not to talk even when my father and Raymond were both discussing.

I fought with my wolf, who longed to touch Angelica. I couldn’t the sudden change of my werewolf because he never was a fan of angelica and when we used to be together, he despised her and barely speak anytime I am around her but now, he could barely stay a day without longing for angelica.

I had no idea why and couldn’t even explain why, but there was no reason I could think of. I believed that the reason why my wolf was acting like that was because of my past relationship with angelica.

‘’who is taking me away your highness?” she asked and hiccupped. She was about to throw up again and I didn’t like how Alaric had left her alone to suffer for the baby. If Angelica had told me that she was going for another man, then I wouldn’t have allowed her to be with someone like him.

He was never going to love her and Angelica would only be a getaway for him to be powerful. That was what he wanted and Angelica had been a fool to fall for his charms.

I had not been paying attention to the conversation until I saw my mother pointing at me. “Nicholas’’ she called and I finally raised my head to face, wondering why she needed my help.

“ Help her?” Raymond scoffed. “stop acting as if Angelica is a child because she is not and I hope that you come to your sense Nicholas.” Raymond made it sound like a threat and it was. He was giving me a warning not to go and I'd be a fool to ignore him.

“I….’’ Angelica tried to speak but I held her stomach. ‘’I should probably leave.’’ She tried to rush out of the dining hall but missed her step and almost fell to the ground, as if time stopped for us, I rushed towards her and let her hand in my arms. We both stared at each other a moment and the back of her neck where her birthmark was suddenly clean and freed from any form of point. Growing up together with Angelica made me realize that she had a birthmark on the left side of her neck. It was a mark of letter A.

‘’I had this tattoo because I want everyone to know how unique I am,” her words resounded in my head and I wondered why it would suddenly disappear from her neck. She cherished the tattoo so much that I never hoped that she'd remove it.

‘’Are you both trying to kiss right now?’’ A disgusted Raymond shouted at us and I quickly let go of Angelica, who ran inside the washroom to not waste any more time.

‘’Go after her,” my mother said and pointed in the direction of the werewolf.

Raymond groaned and rolled his eyes. “ Why are you trying to ……”

‘’Enough!’’ my father shouted at us and slammed his hand and pointed to Raymond and myself. ‘’you both shouldn’t interfere in this matter but Nicholas,” he called my name.

‘’yes, your highness,” I said and lowered my head.

‘’Go after her,” he ordered, and I nodded in response without arguing. I had to know why the tattoo on angelica’s neck was no longer there and only she could give answers to it. Walking into the washroom, I stopped when I heard her lamenting.

“ What am I doing?” I heard her say. Trying to figure out what she meant by that, she said something else that made me more suspicious of her. “ He is going to find out sooner or later,” she muttered. I

“what am I finding out?” I asked as I made an appearance standing in front of her. I had noticed how she had been acting lately and unlike when I first knew her, she was a bit Timid and acted shy around me. I don't know why she suddenly changed her attitude but I hope to figure it out just seeing her acting like a completely different person was something I couldn't turn my eyes on. "what is the thing that you are hiding from me?"
