The Spurned Heir

I stared at Donald like he has grown two heads, his words resounded in my head continuously leaving me more confused than ever.

This was something I never expected in life.

I had lost hope in having a child, the clan was to be handed to someone else who isn't my child, I was okay with that.

I already got a Beta who was powerful but not like me since he got no wolf in him, what is this great news I just heard today.

Evelyn disappeared with my baby and a maiden knows where the child is?

"Donald, where is the maiden!!! Get her here at once!",I shouted feeling my heart throbbing, the thought of Evelyn being alive with my child made me go giddy, the thought was bursting my head. How could the maiden hide such a thing from me???

I'm not going to punish her a bit, all I want is for her to take me to see my child and mate! "I'll call her at once, but I think she vowed to keep it a secret, that would be the only reason why she never mentioned it to you, I guess Evelyn. "Call her at once!!!" I thundered not wanting to hear any shit!.

My breath was fast and my curiosity was eating me up,

"Okay, King!" He bowed and walked away,

"Don't waste time!!" I added standing up from the bed, a wide smile flashed through my face.

It was dawning, the morning was approaching yet I wasn't going to wait till then, he should wake her up and bring her here!!! I shut my eyes and felt great joy fill me, the pretty face and charming smiles of Evelyn filled my head, I found myself chuckling, I can remember those funny moments with her.

A knock was heard at the door and I ran over to open it, you can't tell how curious I am, a loud hiss escaped my lips as I saw who was at the door, My Beta, Not like we are enemies but he just came at the wrong time, I want to see the maiden not him!

"Why are you here?" I huffed poking out my head at him.

"You don't seem happy to see me, who are you expecting?" He asked and I hissed, "That isn't my question, you can go and come back when the daybreak!" I blurted leaving him sneering at me. "You are scaring me, have you gone nut?" He snorted and I shrugged checking out for Donald.

Finally, I sighted him coming forward with a woman, I heaved a sigh of relief and smiled sheepishly before moving back to my room awaiting their arrival.

The Beta walked in and I wasn't looking at him, I sat in the bed waiting for Donald to arrive.

"It seems you got good news taking over you, I have never seen such a smile on your face for a long time since your loss of your Evelyn" he sighed sitting on the couch over there.

I let out a short chuckle and grinned as Donald walked in with the maiden who looked a bit terrified, guess she must be confused and filled with anxiety having me call her at this time of the day.

"I have a question to ask you, nothing else, if you give me the reply quickly, I'll let you go back to your sleep without any problem" I began immediately not minding her shivering.

"Your highness, I'm your subject, is there anything of your command I can't carry out, I dare not", she muttered bowing her head,

I let out a short giggle and stood up walking closer to her body, her body waver the more but i didn't care about it, everyone fears me for my power, she isn't left out.

"An information got to my hearing not long ago, it is about my heartbeat, my special lady, Evelyn, what do you know about her?", I asked and she cringed moving back a bit but forced back her composure, She swallowed and threw a glance at Donald then back to me,

"Please, sir, I am confused at your words... Can you make it clear?", she sputtered making me nod and smile at the same time...

"Does she know where Evelyn is?", Trump the Beta chipped in but got no reply.

"What is your name?", I asked the maiden who was in her late fifties.

I was quite sure she knew something from the way she cringed and the fear in her eyes.

"My... My name is Alexa", she replied and I nodded.

"I am asking about Evelyn, tell me all you know about her peacefully or i will force the answers out of your mouth, you won't want to lose your families?", I raised my gaze and she swallowed hard.

Her lips were quivering, beads of sweat formed on her forehead,

"Your highness, i have no right to hide it from you, she made me promise never to tell you..., please...can...you keep searching for her, you'll find her but don't force me to spit out the secret I promised to keep", she mumbled with tears dropping from her eyes.

"So what about her child?", I asked and she was taken aback, her gaze raised to my face, she squinted her eyes in utmost shock, I guess my question was the greatest shock she got.

"You know...about it?", she asked with her eyes fluttering.

"Yeah...I know, so tell me where she is!!!, spill the fucking secret before i get enraged, I want to meet her at all cost!!!", I thundered getting angrier abruptly.

She shut her eyes and bit her lower lips...

"But...but",

"You know where Evelyn is???...and did I just hear something right??...she got a child for the Dragon King???", Trump chipped in with his eyes widened, seemed more shocked than me. "I...I...", the maiden won't stop spluterring and that was pissing me off,

Was she trying to keep hiding the secret from me, like was she going to still insist on not telling me where my Mate is?

"You should speak up and stop playing with my patience!", I growled leaving and she sighed heavily.

"Don't you want to know why Evelyn left you?...don't you want to know why she didn't inform you but disappeared and never returned??...", the woman asked and i arched my brow.

"She told you the reason??...you knew all these while and you didn't care to tell me after finding out how perturbed and greatly troubled i had been since she disappeared!", i huffed and she shrugged.

"I'm feeling sleepy now, I'll tell you everything in the morning, but she made me swear with life to never disclose her location, she doesn't want you to meet her ever in your life!", she said and i felt my heart twitched in sadness, She was avoiding me?...but why?...I never hurt her, I did to her everything she wanted and tried my best to make her happy, why the hell did she leave me and won't want me to catch a glimpse of her?

"But why is she hurting me this way?...isn't she aware of how deep i love her?", I mumbled feeling weak as i plopped down to the bed.

"She knows you love her, she also loves you but..." she paused and breathed deeply,

"But...what?", i snorted and she shrugged again,

"I'll tell you all you want to hear in the morning, keep calm okay?", she soothed seeing how pained i am.

Evelyn is my first love, the woman I want to be with for the rest of my life,

"Okay, you can go to bed, I'll call you in the morning...", I breathed laying back on the bed,

She bowed and walked away, Trump followed while Donald also did the same.

A wide smile crossed my face, the thought of having the chance of seeing Evelyn again made my heart race, the very fact thst i got a child who was finally going to be my heir made me go crazy, I felt like bursting in joy... I can't wait for tomorrow.

Trump's POV,

I scurried forward filling the space between me and middle-aged maiden, she was walking a bit fast and I allowed her to get close to her room before gripping her hand. She twirled and flinched seeing I was the one eho grabbed her that way,

"Trump what...why are you...",

"Shut up and follow me!", I snorted dragging her to my room without waiting for her response.

You can't tell how angry amd troubled I am now.

"Where are you taking me to?", she asked and i hissed before speeding into my room like a lighting to avoid anyone seeing when I took her away.

I pushed her to the bed immediately we got into my room,

"Trump, are you out of your mind!!", she half yelled while I locked the door after checking to make sure no one was nearby.

"Yes, I am out of my mind and it all started the moment i heard that information you said to Liam, what does that mean??!!!", I howled clenching my fist in anger.

"What are you talking about?", she asked with a frown and i rushed her with a heavy slap, I was becoming more enraged, those words kept my heart shattering.

After so many years of being under Liam, after serving as his Beta, fighting all wars with him, taking injuries just to keep him safe as the Alpha of the Dragon, it was becoming time to rule and she came over with this devastating news. "You slapped me?", she raised her brow, guess she must be thinking I was joking all this while.

"I'll not only slap you this time, but I'll kill your entire family, I swear, you have just one option to save them", I growled leaving her more confused.

"Can you tell me where I wronged you?", she asked and i breathed heavily.

"You are aware I should be the next heir, i should be the next person yo rule this great kingdom, it was my pay for being loyal and serving the king, why did you decide to shatter it all with the news of King Liam having a child, do you know what it means?... I won't be Alpha King anymore!!!", I paused and squatted over to her.

"I would remain a Beta instead and serve his child, i can't do that...King Liam can't have a child!!!", I gritted and she sighed,

"I never planned to tell him anything, but i got no choice, my family will be killed, I just have to spill the beans", she breathed.

"Spilling the whole truth to him will cost their death too because I'll kill your family myself, the only option left for you is to leave this kingdom!", I stared and she cringed with her jaw dropped.

I could see she was so shocked to hear that from me, but i got no option, the last thing i would allow to happen is King Liam finding his so called child and lover,

Hell No!!!!.

After so many years of plans, it can't be shattered in the end.

"You want me to run away from here?", she asked and I nodded,

"Exactly!!, I'll help you vanish out of the boundary, make sure to move very far away from the kingdom, as for your family, I'll take care of them making sure none is harmed!", I seethed.

"What about Liam?....he would conclude I ran away so I won't spit the truth to him, don't you think he would angrily...",

"Cut the crap woman!!...I'll take care of him, I'm going to forge your death, just do as i say and you'll be safe, run very far away, mix with the werewolf pack. Just don't let Liam see you ever again, the day he would see you is the day you will lose all your loved ones!", i threatened with a killer glare which left her shivering.

"Please nothing should happen to my family...and when will I come back?", she asked with tears flowing freely down the cheeks.

"When i become the King of Dragon, you can come back", i smirked and she sniffed.

I held her hand and muttered some magic words making us vanish instantly...

Layla's POV,

The creamy sound of the door woke me up from my sleep followed by Noah, who also opened his eyes.

It was morning already, we both moved our gaze to the door and there was a maiden with a tray of food.

She stood at the door for some seconds before walking in slowly like her were heavy.

"Hey!!!, bring that here!!", I yelled at her as my stomach grumbled for food.

It has been so long I ate, guess the little maiden didn't know.

"Why are you all slow?", Noah asked squinting his eyes all over her.

She shook her head and dropped the tray down to the ground yelping at the same time.

"You don't look alright...", Noah arched his brow and i shrugged rushing at the food.

It wasn't time to start asking questions, I am starving to death.

"Nothing sir", she breathed and scurried away.

"I think there is something wrong with this food", I muttered but Layla wasn't listening as she devoured it hungrily.

I stared at her till she was done eating.

"So what are you waiting for?...you got to eat something and be strong, you are gonna fight for me", she smiled and i made a short giggle, scrutinized her whole body yet I noticed nothing different. Then, why was the maiden acting weird?

I made a deep sigh of relief, i must be over thinking.

My stomach grumbled as i drew the food closer, it was well cooked and inviting, i couldn't wait a second before pouncing on it as if my life depends on it while she laughed watching me eat like a hungry lion. Just then, Layla let out a scream full of pain grasping her belly tight.

My eyes widened as I turned sharply to her....

"Layla!!!... What is wrong?!", i shouted rushing to her but then i felt my head pound so heavily like a metal struck it.

I paused and held my head feeling so dizzy.

Layla screamed again and this time louder with her body quivering, I turned my gaze at her as she rolled on the floor in tears yet i couldn't move my body.

The pain I was feeling was eating me deep into my bone, I clenched my teeth trying to bear the pain but it kept increasing.

I dragged myself to where Layla was but couldn't touch her before slumping on the floor with clots of blood spilling out from my mouth.

It was like my body was in a fire and i knew that moment it was the food we just ate.

Just then, i heard loud laughters before the squeaky sound of the door as it opened.

I looked up from the ground and saw Scarlett walk in with an evil grin.
