Alpha’s Virgin Wife by Baby Charlene
Chapter 254 The Humble Wife
Nosheba’s eyes were still bloodshot and her cheeks covered with tears as she laid on the mat, her legs spread open. Her heart was thumping heavily with her entire body shaking nervously. That was the second time she was scared to the point of death. The first had been when the King banished her. That moment before his judgement, she had been so scared, thinking he’d execute her. And currently, she was experiencing that nerve-racking fear again. She feared what would happen if Shilah failed to deliver her child. She had nowhere else to go to and it might k*il*l her.
Three witches were in the room with her, everything was set and finally, Shilah walked in.
If Nosheba wanted to consider the amount of hate in her eyes, she prolly wouldn’t let her touch her legs. But she didn’t care about the hate, all she wanted was to get her baby safely.
As Shilah stood in front of her, tempting voices rang in her head: “You do not need to help this woman, Shilah. She has done nothing good for you”.

“She said it herself! The goddess is punishing her for her evil deeds. Let them do their jobs!”
“She tried to k*il*l you and your unborn child. Her lover tried to k*il*l him too. Jael is dead because of them!”
Shilah closed her eyes and took in a very deep breath. Next, she went down on her knees and spread Nosheba’s legs wide enough. She touched the big round tummy, circled her hands on them and narrowed her hands down to Nosheba’s vàgina.
“This is going to hurt”, she grunted her warning and watched Nosheba nod readily.
Next, she inserted her right hand into the v@gin@, going deeper and deeper.
“Arghhhh”, Nosheba yelped, fisting her hands tight.
When Shilah’s hands were deep enough, she closed her eyes and started chanting some prayers in strange languages.
It went on for a while, the three witches in the room joined her. Nosheba started having contractions soon – painful ones. She felt movements in her abdomen.
Shilah pulled out her hand and helped keep Nosheba’s legs apart.
“Now, push!” She ordered and with every strength she had, Nosheba began pushing.
It was so painful, she nearly screamed down the building. Shilah repeated the process – inserted her hand into her v@gin@ and chanted her prayers.
“Push! Harder!” She urged and Nosheba pushed to the best of her ability.
The pain was like none she had ever before, it made her extremely scared.
Shilah repeated the process for the third time. And when Nosheba pushed again,the baby’s head finally showed forth.
“I can set the head!” One of the witches in the room confirmed happily.
That gave Nosheba so much hope as the next time, she pushed with all her might. It was the most painful thing she had ever had to do, she feared her womb would come out as well.
She had nothing to grab onto, so she continued fisting her hands and pushing with every ounce of strength in her. Shilah was there to urge her until finally, the baby popped out.
“She’s out!” One of the witches laughed. “She’s out! She made it!”
Nosheba’s head had fallen back to the mat as she panted heavily, trying to catch her breath. Shilah suddenly felt cold, staring at the bloodstained baby in front of her. Carefully, she picked the baby up, watching in amusement as she cried.
“It’s a boy!” The witch next to her suddenly said. “It’s a boy, not a girl”.
Shilah’s brows furrowed as she moved her eyes to confirm it. Staring at the genitals, it really turned out to be a boy.
“It’s…it’s a boy?” Nosheba lifted her head from the mat and asked weakly. The whole time, she had been thinking it’d be a girl.
Another tear left her eye as it suddenly brought back memories – memories of Raksha. Oh! She finally had a son. Her head fell back on the mat as she dozed off in tiredness.
***********
Dyani was a bit worried when she heard the King sent for her. The King was hardly one to specifically send for her. So, she had every reason to be scared.
Her mind kept wondering about as she approached his chambers. She did nothing wrong. Of course, she’d been extremely careful.
Finally getting to his chambers, she awaited the guards to inform him of her arrival. After a few seconds, she was let in.
She found the King in front of his desk, scribbling down on some scrolls. Good thing he had been backing her, he didn’t have to see the fear on her face as she walked in.
“Greetings, My King”, she bowed.
King Dakota did not respond immediately as he continued scribbling down on his scroll. Dyani had no problem with it but even hoped he’d spend more time and not look at her. Eventually, he did.
He dropped his feather and turned to face her.
“Dyani”, he called calmly. “How are you doing?”
“I am fine, My King”, she feigned a smile as she bowed again. “You um…sent for me”.
“Yes, I did. You may sit”.
She looked around, and the only available seat was the bed. So, she sat on it. She couldn’t look him in the eye, hence, she kept her gaze lowered the whole time.
“I called you here for a very important reason and I’ll go straight to the point”, the King began. This tripled Dyani’s nervousness as she really hoped she was not in trouble.
“Two months ago, I am aware your ex-lover came into the mountain”.
Dyani’s eyes dilated widely in shock. She damned her nervousness and looked straight at the King’s face, her wide eyes holding so much fear and disbelief.
The king continued, “And I am aware you’ve been visiting him since then. One of the guards had been following you around”.
“My King..!” Dyani went on her knees immediately, her fingers shaking. “I swear on my life, he never touched me! I never got laid by him, we were never together in a romantic way! He…he only came around as a friend and I went to him because I needed someone to talk to. I… I know I was wrong, but I swear, nothing happened between us”, she paused and looked up at him, tears already streaking her cheeks.
“Please, I am ready to swear on anything just to prove it to you! Since the day you married me, I have been faithful to you and you alone, my King! Even the sun, the moon and the stars will bear me witness!”
Her voice wavered as she spoke, unexplainable fear had gripped her. For years, she had tried all she could to be a perfect wife, queen and mother. She resisted every temptation. Hence, she couldn’t let a wrong narrative be judged on her.
Oh, Griffin! She never wanted to meet up with him. She should have never done it in the first place. The king stared at her for a while and sighed.
“Sit, Dyani”, he said, but the queen was hesitant.
He repeated himself and fearfully, she dabbed some of her tears and sat on the bed.
“I know you didn’t love me before we married”, the king went on. “And I am not so sure you do even now. I still remember how we met. I had been to your pack for a visit, I saw you and made your father give you to me. To be very honest, I did not love you as well but only wanted you for a male child.
“I have seen your kind of person, Dyani. You have been extremely kind, selfless, helpful and faithful. Even though you did not love me, and even though I barely recognized you as a wife, you still stayed humble and faithful. I won’t deny the fact that I neglected you, Dyani. I barely satisfy you s*e*xually. I treated your senior wives better than I treated you and even when Shilah came around, I made her my favorite. Yet, you were still a bestfriend to her. You never tried to harm her or her unborn child. Instead, you tried to help.
“When I was informed that you were seeing your ex-lover, I thought that would be the final straw. I thought that would be the point where you’d finally flip your switch and break one of your ethics to become a cheat. But it shocked me to my bones that you didn’t, Dyani”.
Dyani looked at him, surprise reflecting in her sore eyes. How… did he know?
“My guard had been giving me every info,” the king explained. “He was there on your last visit to Griffin and overheard everything. Griffin had made an attempt on you, but you turned him down. He told me everything. That night, I was restless. I was restless because I was wondering, how can a woman be so humble? So perfect?”
Another tear strolled down Dyani’s cheek.
“You are too good, Dyani. Your kind is rare. And I have come to realize that a perfect woman like you does not deserve a man like me. You do not deserve a man like me who would always choose another over you. You do not deserve a man like me who cannot love you for the rare gem that you are.
“You, Dyani, you deserve a man that would love you unconditionally and bring you the greatest satisfaction. You deserve to be happy for the rest of your life and have the right family”.
Dyani’s brows were furrowed as she looked at the king again with her teary eyes. What was he driving at?
“This moment, I am releasing you, Dyani”, the king said with open arms. “I am making you an offer to leave this marriage and go be with the man you’ve always loved. Go to him and start the family you deserve”.
“My king…”
“I will give you both enough properties to make sure you start off rich. And as for our daughter, she’ll always be a princess here and be free to visit as often as she wants. When she becomes of age, she can choose to come here and live with me anytime, any day. This mountain, this palace, will always be her home. And she’ll always be my blood. I just want you to be happy, Dyani, because you deserve it”, the king cooed.
Dyani could not believe it, no it was too much to take in. She was gaining her freedom at last?
Of course, it was freedom, because the whole time, she had felt like a prisoner. She knew the king never loved her, but she stayed humble and faithful the whole time because that was who she was. But in the end, she was getting her freedom.
“My king…!” she fell at his feet, weeping uncontrollably.
“Thank you…so much. Thank you”.
King Dakota left his seat, lifted her from the floor and for the first time, he pulled her into a hug.
