Chapter 129 ---- VALERIA Ipaced nervously back and forth in the stifling room, chewing my nails and unable to sleep.
My hand protectively caressed my belly.
Now, this was my prioritykeeping my pup safe.
I couldnt believe it when Nana told me.
It seemed like a cruel lie, but I saw it! She showedwith her magic the life of my baby growing inside me! A smile appeared on my lips withoutbeing able to stop it.
had to hide it deep down; no one else could find out.
Only Nana and I knew.
My withered womb had somehow blossomed.
She toldit was the miracle of true lovethe powerful blood of his father and my power awakening.
She even said she could fix my face, but I refused.
Of course, I dont want to stay like this forever, but for now, the best thing is to remain unnoticed before the Vampire King.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"aldric," whispered his name, sitting on the bed, missing him like crazy.
He seemed to recognize me.
Will he at least try to winback? Does he hatenow for lying and deceiving him? "Love, we're having a pup," I lowered my head with a lump in my throat, staring at my still- flat belly.
Aconstant tapping on the balcony door startled me.
I got up as best I could with that damn chain around my ankle and walked slowly, a bit afraid.
Itwas like a pecking sound, Could it be Nana? She said shed cwithon the journey, but hidden somehow. The Vampire King couldnt know that the old seer witch was my ally.
"Nana?" I whispered, taking a few steps.
Why doesnt she just cin like last time? In an instant, a strong gust of wind swirled through the room, the two balcony doors swinging open violently, makingshut my eyes for a second.
I instinctively protected my belly with my hands.
Theard flapping and a caw.
When I opened my eyes, a beautiful raven with glossy black feathers shimmering under the moonlight flew in towards me.
---- I stretched out my hands to catch it in the air, and it landed gently on them.
"Nana, is that you?" I asked, bringing its dark eyes close to mine.
Its response was strange.
Its sharp beak gently caressed my cheek, over and over, as if anxious.
"I'm fine, Nana.
Nothing has happened since you left," I said, pressing it against the curve of my neck where it kept rubbing its head and fanning its wide wings.
Ifit kept that up, it would go bald.
Haha, look at your feathers, you look like one of those scruffy birds." I smiled, smoothing the black feathers on its head and neck.
It closed its eyes in contentment.
I suppose ravens like being groomed, though shes not a real raven.
Idont understand any of this, but Im grateful for her support and feel safer with her around.
"Lets close the door, its too windy," I said, walking toward the balcony.
But as I reached it, she cawed again and flew to something shining on the floor.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI stepped outside and picked it up.
It looked like an ancient necklace with a long silver chain.
The pendant's design was exquisite, depicting a raven flying over a crescent moon.
"Do you wantto wear it?" asked, and she cawed again.
Cant she just speak toin my mind like werewolves do? Weth, m wasnt about to start acting all Miss Perfect. I took the delicate chain and placed it around my neck, tucking it inside the neckline of my dress.
Icarried my raven guardian back inside, shut the door, and waited for the first rays of sunlight to finally appear.
At spoint, I fell asleep, leaning against the headbg Nana against my chest, waiting for that damn vampire. BAM! The door swung open abruptly, startlingawake.
I quickly sat up, frightened, wondering how I would explain the raven in my hands.
After all, I couldnt say that I had used my little bit of magic, because that shackle drained all my energy. "Good morning, little princess.
I hope you slept well," he said, walking toward the bed with a powerful stride, dressed entirely in black.
