Lahat ng Kabanata ng Sapphire: Enslaved by the Lycan Alpha king: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

SAPPHIRE.“My little rabbit..” He hummed in delight, leaning closer as he dipped his head to the nape of my neck, inhaling slowly.“I truly have been so patient .” The alcohol was strong, nearly making me choke as he spoke, his eyes lowering to slits.“P-pl-please!” I shook under him, my body frozen solid as he held me down.Goddess, I could not even budge.I had thought Alpha Theol a strong Lycan.But he was even worse.. I cried as he pinned my hands over my head, holding my wrist down with one hand, the other lowering to grip my face, I tried moving my head away as his hands splayed slowly over my cheek, my nose, before holding my chin. “Past the retched attire, and wild hair-" His eyes blackened suddenly, his canines growing slowly as he leaned closer. “-you do have certain features capable of providing pleasure for me.”“N-no!” I shivered as the tip of his canine brushed my collarbone. “No-please, sir!” I begged, my voice hoarse as I shouted.“Oh, when you scream..” He swayed sli

SAPPHIRE.There was nothing to fear.I told myself the same thing as I woke up the next day, as I walked to the palace with Bujok.As we separated when we entered, as I was left on my own.There was nothing to fear.I walked past the servants, my steps hesitant as I walked into the north wing, in the time that had passed, we had already cleaned the halls, and every servant was back to their respective districts. I wiped down my tunic in stress, I had burrowed Menah’s spare, promising to wash it and return it the moment I could get one for myself. I did not want to wear his tunic and risk staining it while I worked.It was far too dear to me. I walked on, slowing when I neared the steps.Nothing to f-“What are you doing here?” I jumped at the voice, my hands gripping the side of my pants tight as I turned to the voice, the man’s eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at me. “G-good d-day, master.” I bowed slightly.“You are aware common servants are not permitted to work in this are

SAPPHIRE.I thought I would dissolve under his gaze, I did not know what would happen next, then he spoke.“Vargen.” His eyes left mine, rising to meet his Beta's, and I fell to my knees when I realized I had been staring, my hands on the floor as I bowed. He said nothing, and I felt nearly ridiculous kneeling between them. I had not imagined the next time I would meet him would be so soon, and here, of all places.“Your majesty.” I heard Lord Vargen say, pushing the cart to the side so he could step closer. “Is there something you need?”The king was silent still, and I felt my cheeks heat. Had he been searching for me? I could not help thinking, holding back my smile as my heart pounded in joy.“It is only concerning one of the papers.” His voice was so melodic, like an instrument I had never known, and I shook slightly as he shifted. “You needn’t come all this way.” Lord Vargen held the door open, and I shuffled to the side quickly as he walked in, my chest tight as the door shut

SAPPHIRE.“Tyda.” I gasped in shock, taking a step back from him. “I-I thought you had left..”“No-no..” His eyes shifted to the hall behind me, his brows drawing close, and I felt my stomach tighten in worry.Did he know I had been with the King..?I bit my lower lip in stress, my heart pounding rapidly in my chest. I would not know what to do or say if he had truly seen King Ryken enter the store room. But somehow I doubted it, I had shut the door in my fright before I bumped into Tyda, and as much as it hurt me to accept, I did not think the king would want anyone to see him with the likes of me..Perhaps it was a good thing..I thought for myself darkly I would not want to soil his name.“What are you doing here, Sapphire??” His gaze shifted to the hall again, further worsening my worries. But his next words eased my nerves. “Do you not feel the presence of the king?!” His voice dropped as he said it, grabbing my arm, about to pull me farther from where I had come from. “Come,

SAPPHIRE.This is our position within these walls.Bujok’s words were like a bucket of ice poured over my dream state.I shook my head, feeling like I was about to fall as I looked at my feet, my heart pounded loud in my eyes as the screams of the servants rang out like the echoes of a bell, so painfully lasting.How could they be so cruel..?“I BEG OF YOU, MY LADY!” One of the servants begged as the whip ripped through the air, hitting her back in sharp lashes. “Oh, have mercy!” She tried crawling on the ground, her hands digging into the soil as she dragged herself forward, her face streaked with tears.“If this thing even so much as comes near me, you will be hung.” I heard a voice ahead say. “I could care less if you are royal guards.” Her voice was cold and cruel as she scoffed.One of the guards reached out and grabbed the woman by her ankle, pulling her back like a rag doll as he whipped her mercilessly.I flinched as she cried out, the other servants drooling out in numbness a
