"CONGRATULATIONS, you're pregnant, the doctor said after running some tests on Helga. Her heart began pounding, the words she had just uttered echoed through her mind like a mantra. She took a deep breath and looked at Riovanni, who was just as stunned by the news. She swallowed hard, trying to process what had just been said. "You are in your first trimester, so it's important to be cautious. And remember, you won't be able to shift during your pregnancy
"Y-yes." Helga stuttered, shifting her focus back to the doctor as they continued to discuss important information about pregnancy. As she absorbed the words, Helga couldn't resist placing a hand on her belly and wondering how Siegren would react when he found out. She wanted to share the news with him right away, but the fear of causing him worry held her back. He was surely occupied with preparations for their upcoming attack on Riovanni's pack, and she didn't want to distract him Besides, she wanted to tell him the good news personally so, ,it would be better to to wait until the pack war was over. s the doctor continued to speak, Riovanni broke in, causing Helga to turn her attention back to him. He stood relaxed against the window in her temporary room, his arms folded over his chest. Now that it was confirmed she was pregnant, he couldn't help but feel guilty for bringing her back to the place she had once lled from. If he had known it sooner, he would have avoided involving her in his probelm "No one should know about her pregnancy besides you, he reminded the she-wolf doctor, his voice cold and full of authority. Despite the slight fear, the doctor felt upon seeing the Lycan King's dangerous stare directed toward her, she nodded her head in agreement, understanding his unspoken warning. "You're aware of the consequences if anyone else were to find our about this."

"Yes, My King. You have my word" The doctor's gaze was fixed on the ground as if she dared not look into Riovanni's piercing eyes. He nodded in dismissal, and with a quick word, sent her on her way. As she left the room, a warrior appeared at herside to escort her when suddenly. Demian appeared, his presence commanding respect from all those around him. The doctor then instinctively lowered her head in respect to another powerful figure before her.
"Are you the doctor who examined the Queen of Verdentia just now?" he asked, and the doctor gave a slight nod. Her heart quickened, but she maintained a composed and collected demeanor, not wanting to show any signs of anxiety. She then continued to act with poise and professionalism as she straightened her posture. "What exactly is wrong? Is she seriously ill that my son wouldn't let me see her?"
"Yes, Sir Demian. The Queen was kind of suffering from stress, it seemed that staying in the palace had left her quite worn down, and it would be best not to trigger anything that might stress her even futher. The doctor's eyes carefully met Demian's, her gaze steady and unwavering as she spoke. She made sure to keep her tone even and her body language confident, not wanting to give away any signs of deceit. Demian remained quiet for a moment, studying the doctor with keen observation as she explained her reasoning. It all clicked into place for him, and he didn't feel the need to press for more information. He simply nodded in acknowledgment before letting the doctor go. As she walked away, Demian hummed thoughtfully while stroking his chin, thinking of how he could get his hands Helga

MEANWHILE, the silence in the guest room felt unbearable. Helga's mind was still occupied with her pregnancy as mixed emotions of happiness, sadness, and nervousness swirled around inside of her. Her heart swelled with overwhelming joy at the thought of finally having a child with Siegren, but it was quickly followed by a pang of sadness that he wasn't here to share in her excitement. Nervousness also crept up on her like a predator, threatening to consume her whole. She couldn't bear the thought of anything happening to her unborn pup, especially with the situation she was in right now.
"Do you want to call Siegren to share the news with him?" Riovanni's words broke her concentration, and she turned to see him coming closer to where she sat on the bed, leaning against the headboard. She then pressed her lips together and focused on gently stroking her belly with her hand. "No, it's fine. I will tell him about it once he successfully execute our plan, for now, I want my pregnancy to be a secret," she plied, her lips curling into a smile. But, could the doctor really be trusted to keep my pregnancy a secret? What if your father were to find out?

"Don't worry, I will keep you and your child safe. And I have a plan to tell him that I will find a wife who can bear my heir, so he won't get too worried about the next king," he explained with soft, reassuring tone and Helga nodded slowly, her mind still reeling from the news of f her pregnancy.

She felt a lump form in her throat and tears prick at the corners of her eyes, but she forced herself to remain composed.
"Hey, the thing you said about me, being a bait to lure my parents out... Should we try, and do it?" she asked, looking up to see Riovanni's surprised expression upon hearing her question. "What? Why would you want to do that? I know it's important for you to reunite with your parents, but if we lure them out while my father's still alive, he would be able to get his hands on them and kill them without hesitation," he explained, not sure what was going on in her She couldn't believe that her desperation to lift the curse had clouded her judgment and caused her to suggest things without thinking them through.

"Yes and-"Helga stopped herself from finishing her sentence mid-way as she realized she was about to reveal her mother's secret about being a grand witch. While Riovanni was aware of her true identity as the fallen princess, he had not mentioned anything about her excat blade. She wondered if her father's beta had also shared her mother's secret with them. Helga wanted to ask Riovanni about it but feared that he would push for more information. Instead, she let out a sigh and shook her head. "On second thought. I'm feeling quite tired. Would you mind if I took a quick rest?"
"Goa ahead. I'll just sit on the sofa and get some work done. Sleep well, you need it." He grinned, reaching out to touch her head and mischievously ruffled her hair. She looked up at him with a mix of surprise and amusement, causing him to grin even wider. "I used to do this to you all the time, didn't I? Doing it again after so many years brings a sense of familiarity, it' really refreshing. It gives me more courage and determination to make things right once and for all." Helga's lips slowly stretched into a gentle smile, remembering the old days.

"Thank you," she said, making Riovanni flinch, his cars getting red as he wasn't expecting her to thank him... He believed that he didn't deserve such words.
"No, you don't need to thank me. If anyone should feel grateful, would be me." he said with a gentle smile on his face. "Thank you for giving me a second chance; I hope that our relationship will be restored, after all, your were the only one who truly cared for me. The only friend that I ever had...
