The Omega Princess

Chapter 13

It had been a month and half since Hera’s funeral and a lot of things had changed. Cara had to some degree regained her happy nature and now lived comfortably in the Alpha House, she even slept in her own bedchamber now. It seemed that everyone had warmed to the presence of a child in the house, well all except Tatiana though she too was affected by Cara’s sunny disposition.

My relationship with the rest of the pack had also improved, after hearing that I had gone into the forest to rescue Cara, many became impressed and finally accepted me no longer regarding me with that unfriendly coldness. I had also regained contact with Daphne, who was residing on the edge of the territory with her mate Kaden the third ranked protector of the pack. She would visit the house often, bringing with her delicacies that she had baked I was grateful that my appetite had built up to the point at which I could eat them without wanting to throw up.

Delia and Tara also came often to the house, though apart from a polite greeting we did not talk and they went to croon over Tatiana and her blooming pregnancy, which they were currently doing, while I plaited Cara’s hair in the main drawing room.

“Imagine if it is a boy!” Tara squealed placing a hand on Tatiana’s stomach

The bump was not visible, but something about Tatiana made it obvious that she was expecting, perhaps it was the sudden glow to her aura, or a maternal flush that surrounded her. She laughed her entire face lighting up as she thought of the possibility.

“Kai would be pleased indeed.” She said with a smile

I looked down again concentrating on Cara’s hair, she was determined on growing out but her adventurous nature meant that if it was not handled it would become uncontrollable and brushing through it was a nightmare. I grabbed a green ribbon and threaded it around the end of the plait. I patted her head, causing her to turn around and smile at me with a gapped teeth.

“Is it done now?”

I nodded and she jumped up excitedly knowing that now she would be able to go out and play, just as Dale had promised her. She sat leaning against me, waiting for Dale to come back from the check-ups. He said he was going to take her swimming today, I wished to go too but it seemed that there was an upcoming event that required my presence from some unknown reason.

“I wonder when it shall be my turn.” I heard Tara questioning as she stared at Tatiana’s stomach

Tatiana laughed in glee, her eyes meeting my own

“Well you know these things have a certain order, you shall have to wait for Izarra”

The three of them turned to stare at me, their eyes scanning my body like predators searching for a weakness in their prey. Suddenly I was glad that I had chosen to wear a shawl over my dress allowing my attire to smother my body, revealing nothing but my hands.

“Do not tell me Dale has not touched you yet?” Tara said with disbelief

I stared at all three of them without an answer, however it did not seem that I needed to answer them since Tatiana took that pleasure from me, smirking as she made a snide remark
