Marked By The Mad King Alpha (Phoebe and Perry) novel Chapter 212

Chapter 212: Chapter 212 Dangerous New Life

Phoebe’s POV

I’d been feeling off these past few days. Morning dizziness, nausea that came in waves—but what really gave it away was my missing period. Late. Very late.

After Perry left without a backward glance, too afraid he’d turn around and rush back to me, Justin poked his head through the bedroom door.

"Ready, my queen?" His voice carried urgency, but I was scribbling something in my notebook.

I need to see Marcela first.

"The order says you leave immediately."

I don’t feel well. I need Marcela to check me.

Worry creased his features. "The king doesn’t know about this?" Concern sharpened his voice—if Perry knew, he would’ve summoned Marcela himself.

I shook my head quickly. Don’t tell him. Today’s crucial for him. I won’t burden his mind—it’ll destroy his focus when he needs it most for battle.

Justin read my note, conflicted. "Stay here. I’ll bring Marcela to you."

Better than dragging me to the infirmary and delaying everything further. He mindlinked a warrior, and soon Marcela arrived.

Once Justin left us alone—after informing the others my departure would be delayed for a while—the room fell silent except for my racing heartbeat.

"How is it?" The words felt tight in my throat, anxiety crushing my chest. Every possibility flickered through my mind, but deep down, I already knew.

I could feel it.

"You’re pregnant, Phoebe." Marcela’s breathless confirmation hung in the air.

Her expression was complicated—she used my name when we were alone, the only real female friend I had here. The only one I’d learned to trust again after everything I’d endured.

Are you certain? Really?

I knew it. I could feel it.

My hand found my still-flat belly, warmth flooding my heart. Another tiny life growing inside me. A life Perry and I created together. Mine. A child I’d love completely, who would love me back. I’d dreamed of this moment for so long.

This baby was mine.

Even learning about it just now, happiness swelled inside me until I thought I might burst.

But Marcela didn’t share my joy. She understood the stakes.
