All Chapters of Sapphire: Enslaved by the Lycan Alpha king: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

SAPPHIRE.Just when I thought I had seen it all.The air was eerily still, like the moment just before dawn, like fog descending, like ashes in the wind, as the hand fell to the ground.The female servant stated at her hand, laying on the ground, and in a flash her open wrist squirted, fresh blood like a shower of rain splashing out of her exposed vessels.That was the wake up call she needed.“Oh, GODDESS!”The woman's scream was sharp, painful to my ears as she fell back, as if to run away from her very own self. Her eyes were wide, hysterical, as she gasped out meaningless words, her face paling by the shades, till she was paper white.“Heavens!” The man knelt next to her was frozen as he stared at the detached hand, the bleeding arm, his hands rose to cover his lips shut tightly. Even from here I could see the palpitations of his hands.I was trembling where I stood. I could feel the hair on my skin as goosebumps formed all over my body with the passing of the wind. My eyes were

SAPPHIRE.“Menah..” I did not know what to say. Why was she reacting so strongly?Her sobs ripped out of her as she shook, her arms clenching stiffly to her sides. Quickly I leaned closer to her, holding her down as firmly as I could.“Calm yourself, Menah!” I gasped, my brows drawn in worry. If she continued in this manner, she could risk reopening her partially healed wound, or worsening the tears of her torn muscles.“M-menah, please!” My eyes watered as she shook harder, her eyes red as she shed tears harder.“D-don-"“What is happening?” The door to our room was turned opened suddenly, one of the servants rushing to Menah’s side with drawn brows.“I-I do not know-" I sputtered, turning to her in my panic.“Heavens, I heard her cry all the way down the hall.” She shook her head, taking my place to keep her firm. “Everything is fine, Menah, relax yourself.” She whispered to the weeping maid, Menah only shook harder, her teeth clattering as she cried.“She is for the worse.. “ The

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.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

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
