Chapter 376: Not Good Enough
At first, I was shocked by the news, but it didn’t take me long to feel completely miserable because of it. A lump formed in my throat, and I suddenly felt very nauseous. More casual words of congratulations and thanks were exchanged by the brothers, and I had to say that the environment was extremely pleasant and friendly. I wished that I could share their joys but instead, I felt even more alienated the more that I heard the words of blessing for the two pregnant women. It felt like I was being left out and left behind. At that moment, I desperately yearned to be pregnant and I sorely regret the fact that I wasn’t.
“You two better take good care of your health for the sake of the baby. Hopefully, there will be even better news soon,” the king said with a pleased smile.
“Thank you, Your Majesty,” Regina and Selena managed to reply right at the same time in complete harmony.
I wanted so badly to speak to Selena to understand what had happened. Although she seemed quite happy and at peace with her situation, I wanted to hear from her about what had happened and to make sure that she was truly fine.
“That’s not something to worry about right now,” Prince Darius said to his father.
“How can I not worry about it? It is great news that these two ladies are pregnant, but that will be completely no use if the child is not an Ultimate Alpha,” the king said quite sternly.
I almost gasped in shock when I was reminded that becoming pregnant was just the beginning. The joyous atmosphere suddenly turned cold and filled with tension at the king’s harsh reminder. It wasn’t good enough just to conceive a child because the child also had to be an Ultimate Alpha. It was clear from the king’s words that a normal child would just be considered useless. I glanced over at Regina who still managed to smile in order to hide her nervousness.
On the other hand, Selena’s face had turned as white as a sheet and her lower lip was visibly quivering. I could tell that the king’s word had shocked her and that she wasn’t prepared for the worst that may come.
“Don’t worry so much, father. I am sure that Regina will have no problem producing an ultimate alpha,” Prince Florian said with complete confidence before he turned to smile at Regina.
