Sadie glared at her morning cup of tea sitting in front of her on the low dining table. She refused to drink it.

For several days now, the usual contraceptive herbs—the one she had been served as soon as she started being Jalen’s lover—were conspicuously absent from the concoction. The first time, Sadie had dismissed it as an oversight. The second morning, when her tea again lacked the herbs, she had become concerned. And then, she had both smelled and tasted it and had gotten confirmation of her suspicion. Chaste berry.

Someone in the palace wanted her pregnant.

She scowled at the tea.

There was no one within the palace—except for the royal family themselves—powerful enough to have ordered the switch, but she didn’t see why any of them would have done so. As far as she knew, none of them were even aware of her existence. Maybe one of the oholibah was trying to trap her? But that made no sense either. For a few days, she had refused to believe Jalen himself might have given the order, but this morning, sitting at the dining table, she couldn’t hide her head in the sand anymore.

This entire week he’d kept her at his side and in his bed more times than she could count, and she had no other recourse but to suspect him.

But why? Surely he did not want a bastard? Did he? He had been pleased when, that morning in the garden, she had assured him she had no designs on having a child. And she had meant it.

It didn’t matter in any case. Sadie made sure her magic prevented conception.

She was irritated, to put it mildly. How dare he do this to her? Falling pregnant was not part of their agreement, and she needed to talk to him, tell him this wasn’t an acceptable development. At the thought of a confrontation, her heart started beating a little faster. The consequences might be dire.

“But I can’t let him force me into carrying his child,” she said out loud.

Her voice echoed in the empty room and gave her some courage. Again, she looked at the tea, sitting innocently in front of her as if mocking her, and she cursed. Blistering suns. Jalen couldn’t do this to her, especially when, deep down inside, a small part of her heart constricted painfully at the thought of holding in her arms a baby that would be equal parts him and her.

She grabbed the mug and stood up. She would go now, before fear paralysed her.

Taking a deep breath, Sadie crossed the room and opened her door. Without a word to the guard standing outside her door, she marched from her room toward Jalen’s chambers.

“Miss Sadie, where are you going?” Taj exclaimed as he rushed after her.

“I’m going to see Prince Jalen.”

“What?!” The young guard sounded horrified as he grabbed her arm, pulling her to a stop. “You can’t do that. You need to wait until you are summoned. You can’t barge inside his room—”

“Watch me,” she snapped in answer.
