Pregnancy revealed

Lucian groaned loudly as he pushed his head away from his desk and massaged his aching neck and temple. He had fallen asleep in a really uncomfortable position because he had numbed himself with the strongest werewolf wine Talinor had gifted him the day after coronation, when he signed an agreement parchment allowing the were-people to move around the lands without any human interference, as long as they did not break the rules by killing or hurting anyone.

He had gulped it down his throat until he was unfeeling and drunk. He'd never drunk anything as strong as this, and he'd never woken up feeling like crap with a headache.

Massaging his head, he pushed himself up from the chair. He would never have slept in the study had his wife been in their room waiting for him. He hated going back to the empty chamber instead of going to find her waiting for him.
