Many full moons ca and went, but the prince and I no longer participated in the monthly mating ritual. I was relieved because that ant that the prince didn’t need to mate with another woman. So far, this seed to be the only benefit that the committee granted to us. After much discussion, the prince finally convinced to move in to live with him at his palace permanently. Initially this caused quite a lot of ruckus because sothing like this had not occurred before. Despite the prince’s words of warning, I still felt no change in my body except for my heightened desire for the prince which I had gotten used to to a certain degree.
Our frequent and intense mating beca a part of my new lifestyle. Moving in to live with him and spending more ti with him only served to propel our mating activities forward. I didn’t mind this change because it also ant that I got to spend more ti with the prince doing things that I expected that newlywed couples would do. Sotis when I wake up in the morning with him by my side on the bed, I had to stop and focus while I remind myself that this was my new reality now. I told myself that this was real and that I was not dreaming. Sotis it felt too good to be true and I had to reach out to touch the prince’s warm body or his soft hair just to prove to myself that he was really there with . I felt well energized and healthier than ever both in mind and spirit despite the change in my circumstances and the attention that we still attracted from the king and the committee mbers.
“Tomorrow the moon will be full,” the prince said from beside as we stood on the balcony of his palace together.
I gazed up at the sky at the almost full moon. Just like I had always thought, the moon looked much bigger in this kingdom than from my hotown. The golden light of the moon shone down on us as the wind blew my hair back over my shoulders. I felt a slight chill run down my spine and my body shivered slightly although it wasn’t cold.
“I hope it will be a peaceful night tomorrow,” I murmured softly as I continued gazing up at the moon above.
“Nothing is going to happen. If they want us to do sothing, they would have told us by now,” the prince replied as if he could read my thoughts and my concerns.
Although many full moons have passed with nothing happening, I couldn’t help but dread that the peace might not last forever.
“I guess I’m worrying over nothing,” I replied as I felt a sense of relief.
Prince Leonard wrapped an arm around my shoulders, and I ended up resting my head against him naturally. Despite his comforting and reassuring gestures, I couldn’t shake off the sense of foreboding that entered my mind. Nothing could explain why I felt the way that I did, but I just felt like sothing was about to go amiss and that there was nothing that we could do to stop it.
Around a week after that, I found out that my sense of foreboding was actually quite accurate. I sat alone in my bathroom as I stared down at my still flat belly after I realized that I had skipped a period.
Calm down, Mila, this isn’t the first ti that sothing like this has happened...
My period had always been irregular and I had learned by that ti that taking my late period as a sign of pregnancy wasn’t accurate. That didn’t an that my tummy didn’t do sorsaults whenever it happened. I knew that just like all the tis before, I should take a pregnancy test but I still found myself hesitating. My emotions were complex at best, and I wasn’t sure how I would take the outco. I was scared that the test would return a positive result; however, at the sa ti, I was also scared of the disappointnt if the test result returned negative.
I felt so unsure about how I would take the news regarding my pregnancy, and that made wonder how the prince would take it as well. With the way that we have been mating, it was quite unexpected that I wasn’t yet pregnant with his child. Although Prince Leonard and the doctors had reassured that this was normal, I still fear that sothing might have gone wrong, not to ntion that as the months crawled by, the pressure on us to produce an heir only rose. I found myself asking the sa question over and over in my head.
What’s going to happen if I don’t ever get pregnant?
I had no idea how long the king and the community were willing to wait for to conceive the prince’s child, but I realized that it wouldn’t be much longer. After moving in with the prince, I was certain that I had him all to myself. It would kill if I had to share him with another woman. I was certain that if I didn’t get pregnant soon, the prince would be under imnse pressure to mate with other won. That thought scared and brought an unbearable pain to my heart.
Just thinking about the possibility seed to bring nightmares even though I was still awake. Prince Leonard never voiced his concerns over this issue to , and I wondered if that was because he didn’t want to have a child. That was that matter of his succession to the throne that we still haven’t discussed in detail. Regardless, I decided not to bring this topic up to the prince. I felt like I had to put in more effort into spending ti with him both day and night so that we would have more opportunities to mate.
I took a pregnancy test and soon found out that I wasn’t pregnant. The result did not surprise , although the deep and almost sickening sense of disappointnt did. Despite thinking that I had gotten used to feeling disappointed regarding this matter, it seed like my feeling of disappointnt could deepen even further. On top of that, I also found it extrely restless and stressful from the pressure as ti seed to naturally tick by.
