Ileus: The Dark Prince

Chapter 664 - Damsel In Distress

Olivia rubbed her belly feeling impatient to meet her little pups. However, as soon as she did that, she felt like going to the bathroom. Her urinary problem over the months had increased and she had heard that it was going to become worse. She didn't know how worse, because right now this was a lot already. "I need to go to the bathroom, Kaizan," she said. It was as if it was a mandatory job that had come with pregnancy.

"Oh, okay." He removed his arms from around her and she darted to the bathroom. Once she had closed the door, he asked, "Do you want to eat something?" He was afraid that even passing urine might make her hungry.

"I wouldn't mind waffles that our cook is making for me these days!" she replied. She had never known that waffles could taste so good.

Kaizan chuckled. He knew she was going to get hungry after passing urine. He wrapped his towel and headed toward the kitchen. When he came down, he saw Paige with her lover, Ara. The two were making out in the corner out of the party room. He rolled his eyes and turned round the corner to the kitchen. Their cook was an elderly lady, trained by his mother to cook some of the best delicacies. The waffles were not difficult to trace because they smelled so delicious. He arranged them on a plate with a grin and took them. When he rounded back the corner, he found Ara standing there playing with her gold chain on the neck. A short girl with tawny hair and light gray eyes, she was pretty. The girl loved to show her assets and right now she was dressed in a blouse that showed her cleavage and black trousers.

"Hello Kaizan," Ara said in a slurry voice with a smile. She appeared very intoxicated and her eyes were red. Ara was a she-wolf from another pack. She was Paige's new lover and had stuck with her for almost six months now. Paige had gone to her pack and spent a good number of months there. Paige was so involved with Ara that she had become emotional. Ara came from a broken family. Her parents were dead and it was her brother who was taking care of her, but ever since her brother had brought in his lover to stay with him, Ara was having problems with that girl.

The two had only just returned. Since Paige wanted to meet every one of friends after a long gap, she had called all of them. She also wanted to introduce Ara to them.

"Hello Ara," Kaizan replied coldly and passed her. She was reeking of alcohol.

"Won't you talk to me?" she said with a pout.

"I don't have time," he replied sternly. "Olivia is hungry." He moved on to climb the stairs, but stopped when he heard soft sniffles. Jerking his head back, he turned to see what was happening and found Ara crying and sniffling. An eyebrow raised. "What happened?"

"I thought that Paige's family was going to welcome me. But I can understand that you all don't like me. I don't— I don't come with inheritance…" She wiped a tear from her cheek and looked outside the glass window with a sigh.

Taken aback, Kaizan was at a loss for words. He found himself in a sticky situation. He didn't want to hurt Ara because of his sister's involvement with her. "Ara, it doesn't matter what family you are from."

"Really?" she asked with disbelief.

"Yes, of course! What does liking you have to do with your inheritance?"

Ara walked closer to him and gave him a smile with hooded eyes. She clasped her hands behind and leaned forward. She whispered, "Then why are you avoiding me?"

"I am not avoiding you," Kaizan replied, now really impatient to go to his wife.

Ara came closer. She picked up a waffle from the plate and examined them. "These smell so good. Can I have one?"

"Sure," he replied and then began to go up when Ara held the corner of his towel.

"Wait a minute," she said. "I wanted to say something to you."

Kaizan narrowed his eyes. "What is it?"

Ara took a bite of the waffle. "Umm," she moaned. "These are delicious." She licked her lips. "Who made them?"

"The cook!" Kaizan snapped. He was growing impatient. He didn't want his wife to sleep hungry. "What is it that you want to say?"

"I wanted to say that you are a very handsome man," she giggled. "Paige looks like you just a little. And she is amazing in bed."

A muscle feathered in his jaw as he flushed. He wanted to scold her badly but the girl was pretty drunk and perhaps didn't know what she said. "Thank you, Ara," he gave her a snippy reply. "Now if you will excuse me." Saying that without another words, Kaizan hurried back to his bedchamber leaving an annoyed Ara behind.

"What took you so long?" Olivia asked as he closed his door behind him.

He shook his head. "I met Ara downstairs and she took a waffle!" he said with annoyance. She chuckled at how angry he was with that. Bringing the plate to her, he placed it between them. She was already lying down on the bed. He picked up a waffle and gave it to her.

"Umm…" Olivia groaned, tasting it and Kaizan's cock shot north. She was eating food like she fucking it. He controlled himself and only looked at her with a heart-warming smile.

"What was she saying?" asked Olivia as she picked up another one.

Kaizan shrugged. He didn't want to say anything about Ara. "She is picky when you don't talk to her. She minds it."

"Ah!" Olivia ate another waffle, savoring the taste. After two waffles, she said, "I am too sleepy, hubby."

His eyes filled with love. After removing the plate from there, Kaizan tucked her in the blanket and lay beside her. Ara and her insecurities were forgotten.

Kaizan woke up early as usual. He had called Finn to his estate because he wanted to practice with him in the weaponry building and also survey that place. Finn had been asking him to replace the old weapons with the new ones. After morning activities, he came to kiss his wife once again who was still sleeping. "Sleep love," he murmured. He brushed a few stray strands from her forehead and sighed. He surely was the luckiest man in the world. He padded softly out of the room and jogged down to the weaponries room. He wanted to see the whole place himself before asking Finn what to do next. When reached the place, he saw that the door was ajar. His reflexes sharpened and a growl escaped his lips. He creaked open the door and to his utter surprise found Ara sitting on a stone bench on the side and softly sniffling. Shocked as to how come she came this far after yesterday's heavy drinking, he walked closer to her. She looked so frail and delicate, like a damsel in distress, like someone who was utterly broken.

"Ara?"

She looked up. "Kaizan!" she pressed her hands to her mouth. "I— I— am sorry!"

"For what?" he asked, confused.
