Quinlan’s p.o.v.
Brogan has been bugging me for the past hour, and no matter what I tell him, he won’t let me get back to
sleep.
I am still half asleep, but I’m aware that Larissa is having restless sleep. I pull her closer to soothe her, hoping that will be enough to settle Brogan down again, but it’s only a second before I notice a strange.
scent.
A thought pops up in my head and I immediately understand why Brogan is reluctant to go back to sleep.
Larissa is carrying our child, and she will likely wake up to her first bout of morning sickness soon. I get out of bed to open the door to the bathroom, but before I can get back in bed, Larissa shoots up straight.
“Come on. Let’s get to the bathroom.” I say as I help her off the bed and I pull her hair back as she bends over toward the toilet. My other hand moves up and down her back, while I keep telling her that things
will be fine.
It takes a few minutes before she can stop throwing up and she looks up at me with questions in her eyes.
“You’re pregnant, Sweetness. No idea how long this morning sickness will be bothering you, but I will be
there whenever you need me.” I tell her and she places a hand on her belly.
The sound of a door opening has both of us looking at the bathroom door and we slowly walk toward it to peek through the crack.
Brogan roars as he sees what is happening on the other side of the door. He pushes open the door to a surprised–looking Servant, but he keeps Larissa out of sight by stepping in front of her.
“What are you doing here?” I ask her, while keeping my mind–link open for Larissa.
“I thought you might enjoy the company, Your Highness.” The Servant says as she unties the ribbon that
holds together her dress. “I can give you everything you ever wanted in a woman. Your Mate is no match
for me.”
I stare at the Servant, who doesn’t seem to understand that she has crossed a line. Brogan’s roar and the
look I am giving her don’t stop her from walking toward the bed and Brogan releases another roar as the
door opens again.
This time, it is my Dad who walks in and he is followed by a few Guardians and the rest of my family.
“Your Majesty, do you always check up on your Son’s affairs?” The Servant asks as she sits down on the bed, looking as if she belongs there.
“Get her out of here, before I end her miserable life.” Larissa growls as she steps next to me and the

Servant has the guts to look at her with a smirk on her face.
Daxton doesn’t give her time to say anything because he lifts her off the bed by grabbing her throat and shoving her toward the Guardians behind him.
“Put her in the dungeons. We will deal with her later today and ask Joshua to find out where she came from. I doubt she would be bold enough to think of this herself.” Dallas says.
“I want her trial to be broadcast, along with her sentencing. Every Shifter will be made aware of the consequences of crossing me.” Larissa says before running back into the bathroom.
I ask everyone to leave before I join my Mate in the bathroom, where I rub her back and hold her hair until
she is finished.
Larissa doesn’t feel like explaining anything to anyone who isn’t family and asks if we can spend the day in our private wing. I link Mom to inform her of Larissa’s request and she assures me that no one wants
to deal with outsiders at the moment.
“Majandra, can you come to our suite?” I ask through the mind–link, ensuring Larissa is aware of my
question.
I don’t have to explain anything to Majandra because she has barely closed the door to our suite and Larissa is rushing toward the nearest bathroom.
“I’ll make sure that the nearest bathroom is available for Princess Larissa.” Majandra says after we have returned to our living room. “Are you planning to inform everyone today?”
“I doubt we have to inform many people.” I respond, before I explain the events of the morning.
“Yeah, I heard the roar. After seeing how many people were running toward your suite, I decided to wait until you asked for my presence.” Majandra replies and we talk about the Servant who walked into our
suite.
We stay in our private wing until after lunch, but only leave because we have to deal with the Servant.
Dallas and Larissa are both looking at furniture for the nurseries and they both seem to like and dislike
the same things. Neither of them wants bold colors or too much furniture in the nursery, and both agree
that if they are girls, they don’t need dresses for the first few years.
The decision is made to let nature inform others of their pregnancies and for us to enjoy the time we
have before anyone starts fussing over them and the possible future heirs.
Both of them are halfway through their pregnancy before anyone outside the Palace figures out that they are pregnant and by that time, both of them have put the morning sickness behind them.
The nurseries are done long before their due dates and Mom is having a ball with ordering clothes in different colors and sizes. She is preparing for both genders, because both babies are being stubborn.

After a few ultrasounds to determine gender and the babies only showing their asses, we gave up on
finding out beforehand. Dallas and Larissa are less bothered by it than I am, and Dallas’s mates are too.
Both of them are convinced that they already know.
Larissa keeps telling me that we will have a boy and Dallas keeps saying that she will have a girl. Mom is
on their side, but the rest of the family isn’t too sure about their guesses.
Brogan and I don’t care about the gender, all we want is a healthy baby and a happy Mate. However, the
closer we get to the due dates, the more I hope Larissa is correct.
I would love to have a boy as my firstborn and No, I don’t care if he is a Wolf or a Lycan. Time will tell who
will become the ruler after me and until that day arrives, I am not going to guess.
