CHAPTER 41

Theo arrives a few minutes later with a few doctors and warriors. The doctors take care of the baby while the warriors help Vanessa to the hospital. Theo walks with me back to the packhouse so I can change my clothes and shower.

Walking into the packhouse, I bump into Scarlett walking out.

“Oh heavens, my queen, are you injured?” Scarlett asks once she sees the blood on my shirt. She might sound concerned about me, but I know very well it’s fake.

“I am not injured. The blood on my shirt does not belong to me.”

“Thank goodness, I was worried for a minute something terrible happened to you. I started to wonder who would become our queen if something happened.”

“It’s not that easy to get rid of me, Scarlett, and even if I die, you will never take my place.”

“You can’t be too certain. The kingdom will always need a queen, so I will keep my hopes high” I am about to reply to her but get cut off by Theo. I totally forgot he was here.
