Stricken with Fear
At that moment, Stevan experienced a strange reaction from within his body. His hands squeezed his chest quite tightly. He felt excruciating pain in his chest.
After ensuring that Alexandra was safe, Stevan returned to the king's private room. Now he sat on the balcony, enjoying the cold night air. His mind was still focused on the incident in Alexandra's room earlier. A face that was very similar to that of his ex-girlfriend continued to fill his mind. 'Is it possible that Alexandra in this palace is really my former lover in the human world? But why is she suddenly in the Lycan world?' Stevan's mind was racing. Plus, the woman's pregnancy made him quite shocked. Uncontrolled emotions make his body turn into a lycan.
"What makes you daydream like that?" Suddenly, Morgan came and sat beside Stevan. His eyes immediately widened when he saw Stevan's face. "Oh, my moon goddess!”
"What's wrong?" Stevan frowned when he saw Morgan's surprised expression.
“Since when did your face change?” Morgan still couldn't believe what he was seeing right now.
"What do you mean? Are you mocking me on purpose?” Stevan answered, looking back at the sky filled with stars.
Without another word, Morgan immediately grabbed Stevan's hand, taking the man to the large mirror in the bedroom. "What are you doing?" Stevan looked at Morgan with a confused expression.
“Look at your face,” Morgan asked.
Stevan immediately looked in the mirror. His eyes immediately bulged. "What the hell?" His hand rose to touch his face, which was covered in fur. "Am I dreaming?" After a long time, his face finally changed, like that of a normal lycan. The face of a wolf has white fur and bright yellow eyes. His strength returned again.
"Since when did your face turn normal like this?" Morgan was moved to see the change in the Lycan King's face.
"I don't know. I haven't looked in the mirror at all because I feel disgusted with my own face." Stevan looked at Morgan and said, "My body just had a strange reaction."
"Does your body still hurt?" Morgan looked very worried.
"I'm fine now. Please investigate Alexandra's origins." Stevan exhaled a long breath. The feeling of tightness in his heart came back when he remembered the face of his ex-lover.
“Why about Alexandra? Is she that suspicious?” Morgan asked.
Stevan nodded his head. "She looks like my ex-girlfriend in the human world."
Morgan widened his eyes. "What?"
Alexandra is now busying herself in the palace kitchen, preparing dinner for the king. Since earlier, she had not seen the king at all. Suddenly, her heart beat fast. “Why am I so nervous?” she thought.
A few minutes later, the palace servants lined up in front of the king's door, carrying dinner snacks. Alexandra took several deep breaths, trying to get rid of her nervousness. Not long after, the door to the king's room opened. The servants came in and lined up. One by one, they took turns placing the food on the table.
Stevan, who was sitting in a chair, stared intensely at Alexandra, who was in the back row. The woman just lowered her face, not daring to look at him. Until the time came for Alexandra to come forward, Alexandra's hands trembled slightly as she placed the glass of fresh blood.
"Is it true that you are pregnant now?" Stevan asked in a low voice that only he and Alexandra could hear.
Alexandra was very surprised. Her hand accidentally touched the glass, causing fresh blood in the glass to spill onto the table and drip down onto the king's shoes. All the servants and bodyguards in the room were shocked to see Alexandra's carelessness.
"I'm sorry..." Alexandra immediately prostrated herself on the floor. She was very scared now, plus the king asked about her pregnancy. “My life in this world is over. The king knows that I am pregnant. It's possible that he also knows that I'm not a Lycan like them,” Alexandra thought with tears in her eyes.
The butler immediately came forward and begged the king for forgiveness for her carelessness in not being able to teach Alexandra. “I’m willing to accept punishment, King. Once again, I apologize.” She couldn't bear to see Alexandra's condition. After all, the woman was still new to working at this place.
Stevan immediately stood up from his seat, then walked closer to Alexandra. He continued to observe the woman's face, which was always looking down. “Who told you to cry at my place?” Stevan said in a loud voice, scaring all the lycans in the room.
Alexandra immediately held back her tears so they wouldn't come out again. Her hand wiped away the remaining tears on her cheek. Fear dominated this time. She doesn't know what her fate will be next. She could only surrender.
"You all get out of my room!" Stevan snapped, staring straight at the lycans.
All the lycans immediately left the room in droves. Alexandra also stood up and was about to leave. "Who told you to stand up?" Stevan said, making Alexandra fall silent and not move. “I didn't tell you to leave. Stay here," continued Stevan.
The hair on Alexandra's neck bristled even more when she saw the king walking closer to her. She spontaneously backed away when the king's body almost hit her body. "Forgive me for my mistake, King," she said in a voice shaking with fear.
"Answer my question. Is it true that you are pregnant now?” Stevan didn't give up. He wanted to hear the answer directly from Alexandra.
