C4 Just Once

Iris point of view.

“I was about to bring her to your office earlier, and she kept refusing; she even tried to claim that it was someone else that was pregnant…”

I found myself in the tasty furnished office of the Alpha King, feeling completely out of place in such an official room but of course the only circumstances that somebody of my status could be escorted here was because of punishment.

And Miss Felicia was doing everything possible to make sure that it was dished out to me telling the story in the way that made me sound most villainous in the eyes of the alpha King and when she was finally done she planted her hands on her hips triumphantly as if she had acquired some kind of incredible achievements with everything she said.

“Felicia you are dismissed,” the alpha king said to her, and her face immediately became pale. She looked at the alpha King surprise. She was probably expecting to be rewarded for fishing me out or praised by him, but he was just plain and straight telling her to leave.

After she stood for a while without doing anything or moving he lifted his eyes to her his Hazel blue orbs hardening like freezing ice as he asked her why she was still in his office she apologized and immediately left the room as if it was on fire.

Leaving just the two of us and the air that was so tense that a knife could go through it like butter.

“What is your name?” his voice suddenly broke out of the silence, and I lifted my head slightly humbly, replying.

“My name is Iris West.” I said, and if I was more comfortable, I would have allowed myself a bitter chuckle, I can't believe I actually spread my legs for a man who didn't even know my name.

He tapped his fingers against his mahogany desk. The silence almost entered his office again, but he didn't allow it this time as he continued to speak.

“... have you been working in the palace for some time now?”

He said, and I admitted that I had then he went on to ask me if I knew the rules. I also told him that I was wondering where this was all going to.

“So you understand that getting pregnant is a violation of the contract that you are supposed to have here because it will hinder your work?”

I clinched up my fist, resisting the urge to lift my head completely and yelling in his face that it was as much of my fault as it was also his own. After all, I didn't get pregnant.

“Alpha King, I'm not really sure if I'm pregnant or not, but I suspect that I might be,”

I said, and then he asked me a question that I had not been expecting at all, at least not from him. He asked me if I had any idea who the father was. He did this with a straight face, his fingers folded into each other as he looked at me, and I felt my eyes twitching.

“your majesty, I don't mean to be rude or anything, but don't you think that it is a strange question for you to be asking me considering what happened around two weeks ago…”

There was a look of guilt that immediately flushed across his entire face, and then he stood up straight at his full height.

“Don't be silly it was only once I didn't do it with you again after that night…”

I allowed my head to fall with regret and shame, waiting down on it.

“Your majesty sometimes just once is enough, I have not been with any other man before you or after you so I hope you don't think I'm lying when I say I have no confusion who the father is…”

I waited my entire body, trembling slightly to see what would happen next. How he would react was he going to chase me out and tell me that there was no way he could have impregnated somebody of such a low status?

Was he…

“First, we need to know if you are really pregnant.”

He said and then he handed the pregnancy kit back to me, something that Miss Felicia had given him proudly as if it was the groundbreaking evidence to a case that had been running for more than two decades. He told me to take the test and come back to him.

“when I see the results, I'll know what to do,”

I took the test and then left his office with my heart throbbing hard inside of my chest, so much now was riding on this test and I was hoping more than anything else that it would come out negative and everything that has been happening to me for the past couple of days would be nothing more than a small illness.

The next morning, I did the test and came back to his office with the results. My entire body shakes and is trembling terribly. It was a confirmation of something that I had already known for some time, but seeing it completely undeniable was still a lot to take in.

When he saw me I could tell how every single muscle in his body became tense and immediately he turned his attention to me, he placed one leg on top of another probably trying to act like he was not affected by this then he casually asked me what the result was.

“I'm pregnant…” I finally said as though I was about to collapse at any moment, my lips trembling with fear as I spoke.

He got up from his chair, moving past his table until he was standing in front of me. He had not been so close to me since that night, and I felt my heart immediately begin to race as he was now so close to me that his Hazel blue eyes were burning into me.

Then he said;”You have to abort it…”
