chapter 3: my queen

Isabella 's pov:

Take your seats." My father says while pointing to the two empty chairs that are sitting on the opposite side of where he's sitting with my mother beside him.

I do as said and sit on one of the chair while leaving other for Alexa to sit without looking at her. I mean I have no reason to see her but after that event that had happened in my room few minutes ago, I can't look at her without thinking about it. With the speed I ran away from her would be more than enough to know how I felt seeing her naked.

I waited outside for few minutes while trying to calm my wolf and my heart and once I was in good shape, I knocked on the door. she was ready and we were almost leaving but Trisa told she didn't eat food. Knowing it's not good to stay empty stomach for long time, I waited some more time for her to eat and then we made our way here to know what my father want to say.

"So, how are you coping up, Alexa?" He asks while calling her casually because if we talk as family we don't need to talk in formal way.

"I'm fine." She answers with a low tone.

"That's good, then." My father smiles and continues to talk, "so I want you both to visit the market once because that's where most people would be. I can say many haven't attended the marriage and they are mostly from low class who works in market. So if you visit them, those who haven't attended the marriage would be able to see you and you would get a chance to see our people.He explained to Alexa with a soft smile and the girl just nods at my father, agreeing to him.

"Father, how about we escort Alexa with our most trusted guards and send her to market. As she's the one that people should know because I'm already known to everyone. Also, I have few things to look after as it's my first day at work as the king." I give excuses because I don't want to go.

"Ofcourse, Isabella We'll do as you suggested." His words shocks me because I didn't think he would agree with me so fast. My face brightens while Alexa looks sad. Wanting to thank my father, I open my mouth but before I could utter a word he starts speaking again, "and you'll be that most trusted guard."

"Father, what are you saying?" I ask him.

"You're her wife, and who can be a better guard to her wife than husband/wife ? Your work can wait but what if something happens to her while she's away without you? So I'm saying it's your duty to accompany her even when others follow you." He replies while smiling towards Alexa who smiles at him in return, "also don't think you can trick me. I know you're just finding excuses as not to go. But remember, if Alexa has to leave this palace that won't happen until you go along with her." And this time, he has a stern look on his face as if he's warning me.

"I understand, father." I say because I don't want to go against him after knowing he won't accept whatever I say.

"Good, why to wait, just go and get ready to leave. In the meantime, I'll order the guards to make the arrangements for you guys to leave." He states and after us nodding at him, my father and mother leave the room.

"your royal highness" , we prepared the carriage for you and the queen to leave." One of the guard informs and I nod having no other option.

Getting up from my seat, I follow the guard We walk past the garden and reach the place where the horse drawn, our carriage is waiting for us beside which my parents are standing.

My father's eyes narrow when he takes a glance at us and I stop my steps. That makes Alexa bump into my back. I turn around and see her looking up at me while rubbing her forehead where she bumped my shoulder. she looks at me confused but I let that slide and bring my hand towards her and I hold her hand in mine.

Her face flushes to our now interlocked hands. Not minding her amused and happy face, I turn around and see my father smiling at us. I guess I thought right.

Walking towards my parents, we stand infront of them as I wait for them thinking they have something to say.

"Enjoy your time, Alexa." my father told her while smile at her

"And you, Isabella, make sure you take care of her well while roaming in the market. she doesn't know this place so stay by her side all the time. Remember, I won't tolerate any misbehavior from you." He warns me sternly and I groan internally before nodding at him.

After that, we get on the horse drawn and leave the palace. Our journey starts at a smooth pace but as we proceed further, the drawn shakes on the bumpy road and we end up bumping into eachother. We have many drawn's, so I don't know why they choose this small drawn as if it's the only one.

"Can't you sit well? Why do you keep falling on me?" I ask her as she totally falls on me, almost sitting on my lap.

"I'm sorry." she apologise and that makes me angry. Why can't she say it's not her fault when the roads are bad? Why does she apologise for something that was not her fault?

Few more minutes into the ride, we reach the market place. We get down the drawn and start walking around the place. Few guards march ahead of us while few others walk behind us. Everyone bows at us as we walk past them and I smile at all of them.

I take a glance at Alexa and see her watching everyone with a pleasant smile. she's enjoying this and it seems like it's the first time she has ever been out. Here, ofcourse her first time but I mean it's like she haven't done this in his old kingdom.

Our walk continues for sometime until we reach the end after covering the whole place. We stand as we wait for the drawn."Good day, my king ." Someone greets me and I turn to look at that person. I see the palace general, Roy standing in front of us.

"Good day." I greet him back and he smiles in return before looking at Alexa.

"Hello, my queen. My name is Roy, I'm the general of the palace." He introduces himself while bowing to Alexa.

she nods at him with a smile before looking down at her feet. I sigh yet again and thank the God above as our drawn comes into my view. Once the drawn stops infront of us, I get onto it first and Alexa comes after me. As she steps on the drawn step, the horse moves a little and she loses her balance.

My eyes widen when I see her hand that's holding the handle losses the grip and her body falls backwards. I stand up immediately and try my best to catch her but I couldn't make it. However, before her body could hit the ground, Roy rushes forward and catches Alexa.

A series of gasps and whispers fill the area as people witness their queen being held by another man right infront of the king. Alexa immediately pushes Roy's hands that are holding her waist and gets away from him instantly. I get down the drawn, pull her towards me before I help her to get on it. After giving a hard stare at Roy which makes him hang his head low, I get back onto the drawn and leave the place.

All throughout the ride back to palace, I can't stop thinking about the incident that happened minutes ago. I understand Roy was just helping Alexa and there was no other intention apart from wanting to help the queen. However, it doesn't set well with me.

My wolf growl as another person that isn't me touched my queen. I know I don't have any feelings or whatsoever towards her but still she's my wife now and someone else touching her for any reason makes me angry. Roy's hands on Alexa's waist surfaces infront of my eyes as soon as I close them. I close my fist tightly so as to not hit something or someone.

When the drawn pulls to a stop at the palace, we get down and head towards our chamber. I march so fast that Alexa takes two steps when I take one to keep up with me. Everyone moves aside and give us the place to walk without a word. And I know that's because of my expressions. I bet I'd kill a person with how furious I'm.

As soon as the door guards see us, they open the doors and we step in after which the doors get closed. Walking towards the flower pot, I grab it with my hands that are shaking uncontrollably not because of nervousness but because of angriness and throw it on the floor with so much force.

I hate the scene that I witnessed today. I hate getting angry at it because I don't like Alexa but still I'm pissed at what happened. And I hate myself for that.

hope you like it 😁 if you like it like👍 and subscribe 😘😘.

one more thing can I use king for addressing Isabella and also the word husband cause Alexa and Isabella both of them are queen but using queen for both of them it makes confusion. 😖
