Chapter 10 Onyi's POV
As I waited for Amanda to return. My mind kept wandering back to the queen's tears. I felt a pang of curiosity but I didn't know if I should ask Amanda about it.
When Amanda returned, she looked at me tired but relieved "Hey baby,I'm back" she said smiling at me. " How was your day "
I hesitated, unsure if I should tell her about the queen. " It was fine" I whispered, deciding to keep my thoughts to myself. "I just got a bit bored without you"
Amanda's smile softened and she came over to hug me. "I'm sorry baby, I know it's not easy being left alone in a new place , but I have to do my duty as the Alpha princess and they future Alpha queen of Crescent."
I wholeheartedly hugged her back burring my face in the crook of her neck. Feeling grateful for her understanding. "I know Amanda, I'll be fine. Just having you here makes me feel better"
As we sat down for dinner,I couldn't help but steal glances to at the queen.
Who was sitting near the king at the head table. Her eyes seemed distant, and I wondered if she was still thinking about the person in the picture. "Are you alright" the Alpha king asked and she just nodded.
"Yeah I am, just that I miss ..." "Mom please" Amanda intervene "I need peace" Amanda said glaring at her mother. "Don't mother me, you all seemed to be moving on, forgetting..." ," Lola" the king shouted using this strong voice on her making the queen quiet. The queen left in anger,as I watched her walked away
After dinner, Amanda took my hand and we walked to the palace garden. The evening air was cool and refreshing, and I felt my worries fade away as we strolled together.
But my mind kept coming back to the queen's tears, and I couldn't help but wonder what secrets the palace held. Ever since I came into this palace,my dreams of that woman stopped. I kept wondering Who is that woman but got no response.
I held Amanda's hand tighter because it soothes me somehow when I feel those sparks. Meeting Amanda has been the greatest joy of my life and I just want to be by her side even if I sacrifice school or a normal life as a human. I know Amanda wants to mate with me but she's scared of forcing me,I just need a little courage to accept the mating process. Life here isn't easy and I'm just scared that I'm about to uncover more than I bargained for.
