Chapter 173
King Thorvald signaled princess Claire’s lady in waiting that was sitting in the corner sobbing to come over. While she drank from him, king Thorvald drank from her and stopped just before Wynn's blood hits his mouth.
“Well, my guys didn’t take her which means someone must have helped her,” King Thorvald said, filled with anger.
“Will you let my sister go now?” Wynn asked, looking over at Shysie that was tied up.
“Leave us,” King Thorvald said.
Wynn looked over at Shysie and realized that it was a trick, that she was in on it, ‘Why is she always siding with him? Even after he tried to have her killed?’ Wynn wondered.
Instead of untying Shysie, King Thorvald started to kiss her, “Now where was I.”
‘Tanx for letting me know that King Thorvald had his spies on me,’ Wynn mind linked prince Deacon.
‘He didn’t leave his room all this time. How was I supposed to know?’ Prince Deacon mind linked him back.

“Lord Dario,” Wynn acknowledge him when walking past.
“Did you find her?” Lord Dario stopped him.
“I didn’t. Guess you should head out again and bring in more Blue Bloods,” Wynn suggested.
“Next group already here,” Lord Dario said before walking on, eager to get to his wife.
Inside their chambers, lord Dario was happy to find his wife, Hannah, in bed.
“Hello, my beautiful wife,” he said, showering her with kisses.
“Hello, my darling,” she wrapped her arms around her husband, returning his kisses.
Lord Dario sunk his teeth into her neck, hungry for her blood, her body, and her lovemaking.
After he had his fill, he bit open his own wrist and she drank from him before they start to make love.
After making love lady Hennah laid in her husband’s arms, “Let us leave here. I am tired of the fact that you have to bring innocent women like lambs to the altar.”
“After tonight all the royals should have a wife,” Lord Dario assured her.
“I hope prince Andre takes a wife,” Lady Hannah said.
“Please don’t say his name in our bed,” Lord Dario said.
“Do you think king Thorvald will take a new wife?” Lady Hannah asked.
“Not until princess Claire is found and dead,” Lord Dario said.
“Guess I have to get up and help the latest Blue Bloods get ready,” Lady Hannah sighed, getting out of bed.
“I will talk to king Thorvald and asks him if we can leave for a while,” Lord Dario said, pulling her back onto the bed, and embracing her.
“Nothing will make me happier,” Lady Hannah said, smiling at her husband.
After getting one of the new princesses ready and once again explaining that lord Dario is not her future husband, lady Hannah took the princess over to the chapel.
Like always, prince Andre waits at the door, “Good evening, lady Hannah.”
“Prince Andre,” Lady Hannah acknowledge him stiffly.
Lady Hannah’s eyes fell on her husband that was already inside talking to king Thorvald. Lord Dario gave her a wink.
‘Does that mean we are free to go,’ she wondered, smiling back at her husband.
“Wait right here,” Lady Hannah said, lining the princess up to stand next to a couple of others.
Lord Dario walked over to lady Hannah and held out his arm for her to take, “We can leave as soon as I find princess Claire.”
“Guess that was expected. He must really love her then,” Lady Hannah said, ignoring prince Andre’s eyes on her.
“Doubt it. Think it is more about his ego than anything else,” Lord Dario said, as they took their place next to the rest of the ladies and gentlemen of the court.
“When do you have to leave?” Lady Hannah asked.
Before he could answer queen Amirah signaled lord Dario over.
“What does she want?” Lady Hannah asked with a frown on her face.
“Probably want to know if I have any new leads on her husband,” Lord Dario said before speeding over to the queen.
“Where is Panya?” Lord Dario overheard queen Lana asked prince Mano.
“She is not feeling well,” Prince Mano said.
“I will go check up on her, perhaps she is in labor. She is too far along to be left alone,” Queen Lana said.
“How is it that only one out of all of you manage to fall pregnant?” King Makens asked, expressing his disapproval.
No one responded.
“It is not as if we are not trying,” Prince Deacon showed his father his lovemaking sessions with Sanura.
“Cut that out,” Queen Lana demanded, not wanting her husband to see princess Sanura’s naked body.
Prince Deacon chuckled mischievously, making Sanura blush at the thought of the king knowing what she looked like under her dress.
“Any new development regarding my husband?” Queen Amirah asked lord Dario.
“Non, your majesty,” Lord Dario said.
“Guess it is time you bring a prince around,” Prince Deacon joked.
“My husband is not dead! I would have felt it!” Queen Lana shut him up.
“Then why don’t you mind link him to come over?” Queen Lana asked.
“You know his mind is shut off mine!” Queen Amirah said.
“Perhaps he does not want to be your husband anymore,” Queen Lana spat back.
“It is clear where Deacon gets his personality from,” King Makens remarked, making everyone laugh under their breath.
After lord Dario left the conversation took a turn back to the lack of royal babies running around.
“Why the hurry to produce children when there is no one out there to marry them one day?” Prince Kurt asked.
“Are you planning incest?” Prince Deacon chuckled.
“We have been informed of two royal lycan families that have survived the supernatural war and once it is confirmed they will be brought here,” King Makens informed them.
“When did this happen?” Prince Deacon asked, interested.
“We knew about them for a while now but wanted to track back their lineage before taking further steps,” queen Lana said.
“Does that mean we will get divorced so that you can be with your own kind?” Chione asked prince Vasili.
“My sweet darling, you have nothing to worry about. My bond to you is forever, well until death does us part,” Prince Vasili said before kissing her on the forehead.
“You mean until mother decides,” Prince Deacon chuckled.
“She would do that?” Sanura asked worriedly.
Prince Deacon looked at his mother.
“The one family has a daughter and the other a son. One child each, the parents of both kids died in the war. If they are in fact royal, we will use a shaman spell to bind them, and then the children they have will be matched with the children we hope that all of you will have real soon,” Queen Lana informed them.
“What if they don’t want to?” Zahra dared to ask.
“They don’t have a choice,” King Makens said before putting his arm out for queen Lana to take since the wedding ceremonies are done for the evening.
“Princess Nashwa and princess Chione please come with me to check on princess Panya. Princess Zahra, please tell Lady Hannah to send a midwife,” Queen Lana said, not bothered with Sanura.
“I already arranged for two midwives and six guards outside the door and six outside by the window beneath,” Prince Mano said.
“Why guards?” Prince Deacon asked.
“I am not losing another wife and child. I don’t trust the vampires,” Prince Mano said before leaving.
‘Do you have a link with princess Freda?’ Prince Deacon mind linked Wynn.
‘I do, why?’ Wynn mind linked back.
‘Check if Emily is there and occupied. The last thing I want is for her to kill another royal baby,’ Prince Deacon mind linked.
‘Is it that time already?’ Wynn mind linked before mind linking princess Freda to confirm Emily’s whereabouts.
‘Emily is behaving and does not seem to know anything about what is going on here. It appears she has found someone to preoccupy herself with,’ Wynn showed prince Deacon what princess Freda showed him.
‘That is good to know,’ Prince Deacon mind linked back before making his way over to prince Mano and Panya’s room.
Outside Prince Mano’s room, it was a familiar scene of pack members, mostly men waiting outside the room, Panya’s labor screams coming from inside.
