CHAPTER 20

SAPPHIRE.

Today was the day.

I walked out of the servants quarters with Menah and Bujok, some other servants trailing behind, some ahead.

The day of the full blood moon.

Everyone had woken up far earlier than usual. The sun was yet to rise as we walked along the pathway, the trees swaying slightly in the early morning chill.

I wrapped my arms tighter round myself as I looked ahead, our feet scrunching in the quiet. Even from here, I could see the castle, it seemed to glow in contrast to the dew heavy fields of grass, the dark blue sky.

All the Alphas and royals had arrived. The past two days had been a grueling time. I was sorely wrong when I thought we were cautious before. Now no one spoke at all within the palace walls, only the masters were permitted to give instructions as we worked.

The only exception to the rule was if we were in a secluded room, far from the royals.

And only a handful of servants were permitted to work on the higher floors, Menah was one of them be

    SAPPHIRE.This was my life now...I watered my lips as we walked down the hall to his room. Occasionally I would peek up at him, stealing glances as we walked. He was so quiet. I thought to myself as we reached the inner hall.I could not tell what went through his mind.What he was feeling...With the other royals it was easy. It was almost always anger.Anger, irritation, disgust. Always..But it was not that way with him.It made me uneasy.The creak of the door turning open pulled me out of my thoughts. Lord Vargen walked in, moving to the side to let me in as well. I felt my cheeks flushing as I walked in with my head lowered. I fear the day someone sees him doing things like this for me..He shut the door calmly behind me, and I felt my palms dampen as he walked in, sighing faintly as he glanced at me.“W-where shall I put the p-papers?” I stumbled out shakily, not sure what to say.“On the desk, thank you.” I noticed the faint smile on Lord Vargen’s face. Before he could see me

    SAPPHIRE.“I want her to be my personal slave.” I froze. It was almost like I had not heard him, like I could not understand his words.But he was still standing there, in the silence of the council, unmoved by their stares.His-My mouth hung agape in shock. I could not even say it.“WHAT?!” Lord Brogan voiced out the one word that had been circling like a current of wind in my head, his eyes wide in rage. “This is preposterous and you know it!” He spat darkly, his jaw clenched impossibly tight. “The slave is mine!”“No servant in this palace belongs to anyone, but our king.” The Beta had not even turned to Lord Brogan as he corrected calmly, his gaze still firm on King Ryken.“But, I-"“Which implies-" He cut him off again. “-It is his majesty that may choose to accept or reject my request.” Lord Vargen turned to him, his eyes darkening. “Not you.”My throat was desert dry, my heart pounding like the galloping of the field horses.Just-I blinked lightly, staring at the Beta in co

    SAPPHIRE.I fell to the ground as soon as his firm hand made contact with my face.Goddess, It hurt..I rolled slowly to the side, my face swollen in pain. I heard a high pitched ringing in my ears from the hit, my skin tingling from the force of the slap.It hurt so much.“Must I repeat every single word to you?” Lord Brogan seethed from his seat next to me. “What did I say about shedding those bloody tears?” He asked darkly.I had tried to return to my knees before I angered him further, but my body ached far too much, my head spun in the sudden dizziness, and instead, all I could do was lay helplessly on the floor, my hair sprawled round me as I tried to gather my breath.Even with my eyes partly open, I still felt him, the king, shift slightly in his seat. Slowly, I lifted my eyes to the head chair he sat on, my vision impaired slightly with my hair over my face,but I saw him so clearly.The way his eyes, the most startling shade of red, of blood, of rubies, widened slightly whe

    RYKEN.It never favored a soul to test a Lycan.It was a foolish endeavor.I remember my father would often say those words to me during my lessons as a young lycan. His eyes sharp as he stared out the window while I sat next to my tutor.It almost always ended with bloodshed.Such unnecessary bloodshed.I would be tested today. Though I did not know it at the time.“And which coat would you prefer today, your majesty?”“I could care less, Walkh.” I brushed past him to the dressing room, shrugging on a midnight blue overcoat. “I just need to wear something.” I sighed as I turned to stare at my Gamma.“How simple.” He gave a half smile, cocking his head to the side, and I clenched my jaw, my gaze darkening. “Or perhaps the word I seek is ‘down to earth.’” He adjusted with a half laugh. “Or even better, perhaps-"“Remind me again why exactly you are here?” I cut him off, narrowing my eyes slightly in irritation. “And not performing your appointed duties as my Gamma?”Walkh only laughed,

    SAPPHIRE.The pain I felt when he threw me across the room was sudden. I felt my scalp burn as I landed with a heavy thud on the floor, my sides burning in pain as I hit the edge of the wall.Oh, goddess!I wanted to cry, so terribly much. But I did not want to anger him in any other than I already had.“Stupid thing!” He growled, his breathing heavy from across the room. I did not dare to lift my head, my palms were flat in the marble floor as I forced myself to kneel, my limbs burning with the change in position.“I b-beg your pardon, My lord!” I tried to keep my voice stable, like how Menah had behaved with the royals when we cleaned together, but I shook far too much.How had she managed it?Dealing with all these cruel royals..And for so long?“Like your apology means absolutely anything to me?” Lord Brogan seethed, his voice raised in wild anger. “Do you even realize I have meeting to attend?” He continued darkly, and my brows furrowed in confusion.“ I do not appreciate being

    SAPPHIRE.“Be careful.” Bujok stared at me as we walked into the slave quarters, his brows lowered.“I shall.” I smiled at him.He said nothing more after that, only turning to the direction of the cellars.I sighed as I watched him leave, before turning myself to head to the north wing. Every step felt like a great burden, my heart pounded as I reached the north wing, my hands shaky as I tried to steady my building.No mistakes.I watered my lips, wiping my palms on my pants slowly.No mistakes.I walked by the guards stationed, my head hung lowly as I passed by. Most of the servants were yet to resume their duties, but I did not want to be late, or tardy when meeting the lord.I did not know how he reacted when he was displeased. And I did not want to experience it..I sucked in a breath as I reached the grand stairs, my legs shaking as I took my first step up. I gripped the railing as I shook harderOh, goddess!I sucked in a breath, my eyes watering as I climbed slowly. What if I
