Sebastian's POVHe hesitated for a moment, not understanding my intent. But he complied, saying, "Yes, sir."I turned back into the office, my mood growing increasingly tense. Soon, I felt the familiar sensation of heat coursing through my body. I scratched myself, feeling the itchiness, and my skin felt like it was burning. The sensation was unbearable, and it was as if there were ants crawling all over me. My skin was both itchy and painful as if it were breaking down. Even the slightest touch of clothing against my skin was excruciating. I stripped off my clothes until I was completely naked in the pitch-black room. It was quiet all around, and I could hear the rapid thumping of my heart, like a drumbeat.This time, the discomfort came earlier and more intensely than usual.Could it be that, as Olivia said, Charlotte's arrival will worsen the curse on me?The image of her taking off her pants and sitting on the toilet suddenly popped out of my mind. A strong lust eroded my sanity.

"You shameless bitch! I treat you like a friend and you fuck my man!!!" She fought to raise the whip, which arced gracefully through the air with a snapping sound.I closed my eyes, bracing for the pain, but the whip didn't strike me; it landed on the edge of the bed instead.My heart raced, and I nervously opened my eyes.Yeta's eyes were bloodshot, her nose red, and she trembled violently with anger, tears barely contained."Forget it," she choked out, "I'd despise myself if I got into a fight with another woman over a scumbag. But you must give me a reasonable explanation, or I won't let you off the hook.""I'm sorry, truly sorry," I struggled to say these words for a long time. My heart was in turmoil, unsure of how to begin. "Perhaps you might not believe it, but I'm Sebastian's mate."It was like a bolt from the blue."What?!" Yeta stood there dumbfounded.I took a deep breath and continued, "I didn't mean to keep it from you; I was just too afraid to say it. I've been misunders

I showed no fear, locking my eyes onto his. After a few seconds, he released his grip.I coughed severely for a while before finally regaining my breath.Clearing my throat, I calmly said, "I'm not threatening you. I'm just discussing conditions. I don't want my child to grow up being mocked as 'born of a sex slave'.""I'm telling you. I haven't treated you as a sex slave," he retorted."It doesn't matter what you think. What matters is how others perceive it. The fact is, with what you've done to me, in anyone's eyes, you've treated me as a sex slave," I said."All right then. State your conditions," he sighed, lying back in his seat.This round, I won. Unable to contain my joy, my lips curled up. "Thank you for your generosity. I suggest we establish a few rules. First, you can't restrict my freedom for any unjustified reasons anymore. Second, please take back your words about my lack of qualifications as Luna Queen. Don't make me a slave. Whether or not I prove myself is my probl

I sat there with nothing to do, so I took out the book Louis had given me yesterday and continued reading. While reading, I kept an eye on the two Gammas. Gamma Casey had a round, oval face with large, round blue eyes and a small, cute mouth. She somewhat resembled Reese Witherspoon. She was wearing a light blue blouse that suited her sweet demeanor. On the other hand, Gamma Jonathan had a well-defined square face, but due to his weight, his cheeks were chubby, making him look like a big potato. His moderately-sized eyes seemed unusually small on his round face. He was dressed in an oversized gray t-shirt with cartoon characters.They would occasionally burst into laughter while looking at their computers, apparently finding something amusing. They also whispered to each other from time to time, not appearing to be busy at all. I stared at them, hoping to make eye contact, but they never once glanced in my direction. I cleared my throat softly, trying to get their attention, but they

"Good morning, Alpha King," they all bowed their heads and said in unison.I turned around and saw him standing at the kitchen door, grand and imposing. His large frame almost touched the top of the doorframe. I sized up the situation and realized this might be an excellent opportunity to assert myself in front of everyone.I walked up to Sebastian, respectfully greeted him, and explained the whole situation to him."So, it's just a small matter like this. Why make such a big fuss? Jasmine, prepare some toast and warm milk to be sent to the tower as compensation. Ensure the next meal is more generous," Sebastian told Jasmine."Yes, Your Highness," Jasmine said, bowing to him and trembling in her voice. Her flushed face had turned pale.Julie was still kneeling on the floor. She suddenly looked up at Sebastian, and her eyes were filled with gratitude and, if I wasn't mistaken, admiration. She bowed repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, Alpha King. Thank you.""That's enough; everyone gets ba
