Married To The Mad Vampire Lord novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171: The past_Part 4

Months passed, and Galina had completely forgotten about ever going to meet the witch and that dream she had about making love to someone. She had resigned and let everything happen around her without a word of protest. She watched her husband drift away from her with each passing day.

Their relationship was growing apart like a mountain had been put in between them.

It wasn’t until the year ended and her husband was about to marry another woman that she fell sick for the very first time in her life.

At first, the sickness was believed to be because of the stress and heartbreak she had gone through, but when she began to have constant headaches and throw up, a doctor was called for her.

She was announced to be pregnant.

The king forgot about his marriage at that news. It was a joyous revelation that lifted the spirits of everyone and put a stop to his brother’s attempt to make an heir before him.

Meanwhile, Galina believed with everything in her that the child she was carrying belonged to her husband. She had had the dream of sleeping with a warm person ten months ago, and her pregnancy was only three months old.

"I can’t believe we will be having a child," Zach said one night as he held his wife on the bed.

Galina smiled and nestled her head into the crook of his neck. "I also can’t believe it."

She pulled back and looked at her husband with a worried look. "What happens if it turns out to be a girl?"

"We will make another one. At least we know you are not barren and could still give birth. We will love our daughter and then work on having a son. The council will understand."

He kissed her then, and Galina was so happy she returned his kiss with the same intensity.

Nonetheless, when her pregnancy began to show, things began to become difficult for the queen. Though pregnancies were hard for humans, vampires had it the easiest when they carried a child. Not for the queen, though.

She began to crave the worst of things.

"I want it right now!" she screamed in temper, knocking off the food tray brought to her, her eyes looking savagely murderous.

"My dear, it’s impossible to give you human flesh. How could you have that? I brought you fresh blood that’s still warm. You—"

"I do not want it! I want flesh. I want to eat raw human meat!"

It took great coaxing for the king to make his wife settle for deer meat, which she demanded must be raw. She ate it like a savage being, devouring it whole and licking off every single drop of blood.

When it came closer to her due month, the queen’s condition worsened to the point that nothing was satisfying to her again. Whatever she ate was not enough, and the baby kicking constantly broke her ribs. The moment it healed, the child broke it again with its mighty kicks. It turned out to the point that the child began to eat from his mother from the inside.

The queen fell into a critical condition that forced the king into making the decision to remove the child. His wife’s life was important to him. However, just when the doctor was sent for the next day, the child began to behave in the stomach.

The baby stopped kicking and hurting its mother. It was like the child knew that it was about to be killed to save its mother.

"You are looking more healthy, my dear," the king remarked one afternoon as he walked with his wife in the garden.

"I think your child has begun to behave. What a lovely child we are having. I do not crave meat anymore," said the queen as she looked down at her swollen belly with affectionate eyes that brimmed with pride and tenderness. "We love you, my child." She caressed her belly with a warm smile. She would love this child with all of her, Galina promised silently.

Galina took extra care of herself for the baby. She would sit before her piano and play music and sing for her unborn child. She would speak to it like she would to a person and laugh at her own jokes. She put all her affection on the baby, but then as time move on, things began to take another turn yet again.

At first, neither the king nor the queen worried about that, as every woman’s pregnancy journey varied. But when it turned out that another two months passed and there were still no signs that she would go into labor, everyone began to worry, and they began to consider tearing the child out. freewebnσvel.cѳm
