Chapter 9: Accused

last update 最終更新日: 2025-12-26 17:13:42

Cecilia's POV

I eventually pry my way free of the crowd and make it back to the main palace, where I smooth out my clothes, scrub away a couple bloodstains on my skin, and redress in a rush.

After rejoining the Alpha King in his room, he expresses modest approval that I was able to return in such a short time.

“Follow me, please,” he commands, and I gladly oblige.

Watching the king’s daily routine up close and personal is very different from hearing stories about him from my far-removed home in the Silver Pack.

I obediently follow him throughout his day, keeping a respectable distance, of course.

In his royal office, I observe as he diligently pens various decrees that allocate food, money, and other resources to the packs under his rule. His brow furrows with concern as he deliberates on a property dispute between two Alphas, and a wise look appears in his eyes as he signs off on a request for an open forum to resolve another pack’s complaints about their Alpha leader.

  • The Alpha King's Mind-Reading Maid   Chapter 12: Offended

    Cecilia's POVWarren’s casual comment doesn’t seem to rile up Lora, but it sends me into nothing short of a panic.True Mate? What is he talking about?Lora, I ask quietly, hoping there’s no weird side of effect of his curse that will allow him to hear my private conversation with my wolf, have you sensed anything like that? Like what? she replies, still distracted by her new playmate.Our True Mates. They’re not Leopold and Warren, are they? I ask persistently.It takes her a moment to process what I’m saying to her, but finally she answers, albeit uncertainly.Do not know. Not sensing this… I usually wouldn’t keep prying, but I have to know. You said earlier that you felt your mate nearby. You mentioned that they seemed trapped. But you don’t think it’s Warren? She pauses before replying, Mate still nearby, just like before. And still can’t find him. Unfortunately, the trend of the day seems to be asking questions that only make me feel more confused.If Warren isn’t Lora’s mate

  • The Alpha King's Mind-Reading Maid   Chapter 11: Befriended

    Cecilia's POVIn the darkness, I can’t stop trembling.The jig is up. I’ve answered Leopold’s wolf directly, and now it knows that I can hear its voice.So you do hear, the wolf says, low and gravelly.“Yes,” I whisper.Come back to the room, the wolf orders, and I slowly walk back towards the sleeping Alpha King’s chambers, my legs wobbly.Even though I know what’s happening now, it is still somewhat of a surprise to see Leopold there, his back to me, looking serene.“Your Highness?” I say quietly. My voice is hushed, but I feel as if it’s echoing all around the room.What is your name? the wolf asks, and I swallow hard before I can build up the courage to respond.“Cecilia,” I answer softly.Come forth, Cecilia, he says.The unasked question lies on the tip of my tongue: Are you going to kill me now?But what choice do I have but obey?Running isn’t an option; I’d be caught and punished immediately, and instinct tells me I wouldn’t be on the receiving end of the wolf’s merciful side

  • The Alpha King's Mind-Reading Maid   Chapter 10: Defeated

    Leopold's POVSix months ago, my palace turned into a revolving door of concubines.I know it is only tradition, and that this is something of a rite of passage for every king until he finds his True Mate, but still, most days I find myself wishing they would all just disappear.The purpose of the royal concubines is to provide a young king with a variety of sexual outlets unto which he is able to direct his physical desires without having to make any sort of commitment.Once he finds a True Mate and makes her his Alpha Queen, the palace concubines are usually dismissed with a hefty sum as compensation for their time and service.But such things do not interest me. In fact, nowadays they bore and annoy me.That isn’t to say that I’m not interested in women.Landon started bringing in women when I turned eighteen, and for the first seven years of this, I was capable of interacting with them in the… intended capacity. I enjoyed sex, like any young man entering sexual maturity, and I eve

  • The Alpha King's Mind-Reading Maid   Chapter 8: Rewarded

    Leopold's POVI watch a flurry of emotions flit across the face of my new maid, and keep my own expressionless.Reading body language isn’t exactly my strong suit, but I sense her unease. I almost wish I was more oblivious.“You hesitated,” I say, trying to sound less accusatory than I feel, and failing miserably. Although I don’t want to command with intimidation alone, I need to demand a certain level of respect from all of my subjects, especially those working in my palace.She needs to feel able to speak honestly to me when I call her to do so.“Are you afraid?” I ask.Cecilia closes her eyes slowly and opens them again, but is still unable to meet my gaze.“I am willing to serve you as a personal maid, Your Highness,” she replies, her words cautious.“That wasn’t what I asked,” I say. “Are you afraid? That I might kill you?”She finally looks up at me, making piercing eye contact. I feel my breath catch in my throat, in spite of myself. “I am nothing but honored to be granted thi

  • The Alpha King's Mind-Reading Maid   Chapter 7: Deceived

    Leopold's POVThere is undoubtedly something strange going on with my new handservant.For months, I’ve ignored the dull ache in my shoulder. Between my rigorous training regimen and the fighting I’ve done in actual battles year-round, it’s become easy to overlook any specific pain. Everything hurts, more or less, all the time.But now, all of a sudden, a new slave that I’ve never even seen before arrives at the palace and immediately is able to tell that there’s an unhealed injury in my right shoulder?Something is different about her.It’s not as if I had no idea that I might be wounded somewhere, or that there was a certain way that my other slaves had performed my dressing that wasn’t right. Every time I had to be changed, I’d come out of a stupor to find another dead handservant on the floor.Obviously, something they had been doing was sending my wolf into a frenzy. I just hadn’t figured out what it could be yet.This new girl, however, managed to identify the location of the in
