The Cursed Alpha's Bride 11
ISLAThe last thing I wanted was another confrontation.Unfortunately, Rebecca seemed determined to make my life miserable.I sat alone at the end of a narrow table in the servants' dining room, nursing a bowl of thin soup. My hands still stung from the bleach, and my body ached from days of punishment. By tomorrow, I would finally be free of it.One more day. That was all I had to endure.I lifted my spoon, but before it reached my mouth, the dining room door swung open.Rebecca strode in, her skirts swishing around her ankles. The Matron followed close behind, her lips pressed into a disapproving line.I lowered my spoon.“What have I done now?” I asked before either woman could speak.Rebecca's eyes narrowed. “Listen to her! She hasn't even been accused of anything yet, and she's already being disrespectful.”“Then perhaps you should tell me what this is about,” I replied, keeping my voice steady.She turned to the Matron. “Isla made Syria do her punishment for her. She refused to

KIAN. Something was wrong with me.I had spent the better part of the morning looking for a reason to be angry, and the infuriating thing was that I couldn't find one.The reports on my desk were in order. The northern patrols had returned safely. Nobody had challenged my authority, and no urgent matter demanded my attention.Yet I wanted to tear something apart.I shoved a report aside, sending it skidding across the desk.“Your Majesty?”“Speak.”David, my Beta, glanced at the scattered papers before stepping farther into my study. “The commanders at the western border have requested additional men. They believe the recent rogue activity may be more organized than we initially suspected.”“Then give them the men.”“I would, but that would leave the eastern border—”“David.” I raised my eyes to his. “Did I ask you to explain why something cannot be done, or did I tell you to do it?”His mouth tightened. “You told me to do it.”“Then do it.”He fell silent.Usually, David knew better

ISLAThe consequences of my actions came before the sun went down. The Matron stood at the door of the kitchen, her full frame filling the doorway. Something about her presence always made the hairs on everybody's back straighten. “New girl! Come here now!”All eyes were on me and as I walked towards her, I saw Rebecca smirk and I knew I was in for it. The Matron looked at me with angry eyes, her hands on her hips. “Explain yourself. What do I hear about you attacking another maid?”Moisture dried from my mouth. “Attacking? That's not what happened! She gave my food to a cat and insulted my father! I will not sit back and watch a girl like her speak about him like that.” Her eyes moved to Rebecca for a bit before falling back on me. “That's not what I was told. A host of witnesses reported you attacking her unprovoked. You even left a mark on her face.”My mouth fell open in loss and I turned around to look for anyone to back me up but I could already see it on their faces. They

ISLANot even hell was as hot as this kitchen. We had cooked at least six different meals and it wasn't even noon yet. I looked around the kitchen at the other girls who seemed very engrossed in their work, sweat forming patterns on their uniforms and dripping down their faces and yet, neither of them relented. Was this a normal thing? I turned my focus back to the chicken I was cooking, my stomach growling loudly as the smell hit my nose. All these delicious delicacies and not one will touch my tongue. Syria had educated me on the “etiquettes” of the King's kitchen. Tasting food meant for him was forbidden. How the hell was I supposed to restrain myself from doing this? Well, seeing how I'd gone days back in my pack without any food or water, I won't act like I had a meal everyday so I knew what perseverance felt like. “Isla! Were you meant to stare at the chicken or cook it?”A couple of girls burst out laughing behind me, bringing me back from my daydream. A sigh escaped my

ISLA It took my brain a couple of moments to understand what was going on. I was standing there with just a shirt in the cold since it had rained heavily last night. There was silence around me and the hallways being very dark didn't help matters. Did I do something wrong? Maybe I said something wrong? For him to have thrown me out like that, he was mad. But was he mad at me? I didn't know. Hearing a couple of movements inside the room, I thought he was about to come outside and I didn't want him to catch me here so I sprinted down the stairs, my head thudding loudly in my chest. What if he decided to send me back to that place in his anger? At the bottom of the stairs, there were some maids doing some chores. They stopped and looked up at me in my questionable clothes. I was torn between asking them for help and letting him find me here. Hell, I didn't even know what to say! Luckily, one of them saw my plight and said something. “Are you coming from the King's room?” I

ISLAThe next time I woke up, I was on something very, very soft. The atmosphere smelled of rain and flowers and whatever I was on went on forever. I stretched my arms and legs as wide as I could and saw no end. Was this the paradise my father had spoken of? I wondered. My eyes were closed so all I saw was darkness. Where was the light? Then it dawned on me and my eyes opened sharply. The light struck my retina and I hissed at the discomfort. It was when I saw the fancy chandelier dangling from the fancy ceiling that I realized I was on royal property. In Alpha Kian’s property. I had accidentally slept off in his arms the day before.I mentally face-palmed myself as I took in the rest of the surroundings. From the plush curtains over the large window behind and beside me. The ornate furnishing with gold trimmings. The mirror with delicate glass and bright lighting. The many doors that led to many different rooms I couldn’t tell. The man sitting on the chaise lounge directly opposite
