MATEBOUND WITH A BEAST

Chapter 28

Ona buried herself in her workhouse.

Her banishing her thoughts was working by painting something on her painting board. She did not realize that she had painted five paintings already of the same man, and that man was Zephyrus.

His handsome rare face, his body, and his Drafulfs form, and she had to paint that night making love outside with him while he was in his Drafulfs form.

The pregnancy.

Ona did not want to even think about that and not that she was not ready, but immediately when she felt the flutters, the first thing that came to her mind was Kalus. What if the baby is Kalus’s and not Zephyrus? Thinking about that would lead her to cry and be all emotions, and she didn’t want that - knowing her mate would teleport right into her workhouse.

She continued with her painting till a knock came in.

“Queen,” Zephyrus peeked while opening before he closed the door behind him. “It’s late my love. Aren’t you tired?”

Zephyrus was more worried about her health than the promise Ona made to him to let him have her for hours later.

“I wasn’t aware,” Ona said not meeting Zephyrus’s eyes and putting away the brushes with paints smudged all over her including the hair.

It was King’s first time seeing his mate painting and she was looking hella cute and sumptuous in his eyes. He smiled and walked to help her.

“Wow…. This is excellent,” Zephyrus was behind the seated mate and resting his chin on Ona’s left shoulder admiring the paint of him sleeping peacefully on his bed covered by the white satin sheets from his lower back to the feet and loved how Ona drew well his tattoos too. “You’re talented my love. This is perfect.”

He placed a kiss on her cheek.

Ona no matter how much she tried to be fine, she wasn’t, and she couldn’t fake it.

“I feel tired, please pick me up to the bedroom,” her voice was exhausted more than her body.

“I’m sorry my love,” Zephyrus said as he picked her up. Walked out of the workhouse and he made it to lock after them.

After they arrived. He made her wait while he filled the bathtub with warm water and the scenting flowers then picked her up. Undress her and put her inside, as well as him.

Ona loved how Zephyrus was rubbing her body, and massaging her shoulders, she felt so relaxed and wished she could stay like that and not be pregnant and when Zephyrus moved his hand to her belly, he got restricted quickly.

The King was moving his hand to her belly so he could tell her the good news.

The King had paid his respect to Zarek to give him a blessing to tie the knot with Ona and he also told Zarek about Ona’s pregnancy.

Zarek was so happy that he couldn’t stop laughing and tearing up thinking about him becoming a grandfather. Right at that moment, Zarek had talked about his fantasies with his grandson, doing all sorts of grandfather and grandson would be doing, just making Zephyrus even happier.

Zephyrus also spent his day thinking about him and the baby. It didn’t matter to him if it was a girl or a boy, what he knew was that he would take good care of the baby and Ona. And he couldn’t wait to welcome the baby in his hands.

He had told his brother who became overly excited and nearly shouted that he would be an uncle soon and told everyone in the palace too. He also addressed that there will be a wedding in a few days so everyone should start preparing and spread the word to the kingdom people.
