CHAPTER 41

SAPPHIRE.I was unable to move.I could not help it.Perhaps it was because every time I had met the queen, it seemed another layer of bad luck was added to fate.My lashes fluttered as I swallowed, biting lips hard.“Oh, Vargen!” She looked half surprised, her bright blue eyes widening slightly, but she still stood confidently, with the grace only a queen could ever muster.A true queen.“Your majesty.” Lord Vargen bowed slightly, and I bowed as well, my heart pounding as I stared at the ground.“What a pleasure.” I could hear the smile she had on her face as she chuckled. “I barely see you around these days, always so busy!” she teased, but lord Vargen only chuckled lightly.It was partly empty, airy, a filler for his lack of response.“What do we have here?” I felt my heart jump as she remarked suddenly, and I could not help feeling her gaze was on me. I bit lips harder as I remained bowing.“Do me eyes deceive me Vargen, or do you have a maid?” She gasped.“Yes.” Lord Vargen sigh

CHAPTER 42

CHAPTER 42SAPPHIRE.“No.” Bujok scoffed, shaking his head.“B-but i feel it is a better role.” I lowered my head as I tried to make him understand my reasoning. “is it not?”“It is absolutely not!” He laughed like I had said something of humor, his lips raised in mock amusement. “Do you hear yourself, Sapphire?” He let out a sharp breath.It was almost embarrassing how he had made me sound foolish, and I burned at his words.“The personal maid,” he began, his gaze hardening with his words. “Of the royals.”“Y-yes, however-"“These same royals, whom we try our very best to avoid being around?” He cut me off. “You want to spend the remainder of your mornings and even noon times, with them?”I sighed quietly, my cheeks flushed as I tried to remember the words I had spoken to myself on my way to the quarters for him. It had been so convincing then..“It i-is not just any r-royal, Bujok.”I blinked. “It is lord vargen.” I tried appearing calm, but in truth his words had shaken the alread

CHAPTER 43

SAPPHIRE.For a moment too long, I remained standing. I did not have any words, though the servant had not looked like she wanted a response, I was uncontrollably motionless.“It is not preferred to keep her majesty waiting.” The woman stared calmly at me, her voice leveled as she advised.“I apologize.” It was enough for me to start moving, with my breath held, I followed her, my heart pounding in my chest as we walked down the hall.What did she want from me?I felt my lips quiver, my hands and legs shaky as I walked. I did not remember offending her? When I had seen her with lord Vargen, I had bowed! Or w-was I not swift enough?My thoughts circled round and round my mind, and noexplanation I gave myself made it better.Or could it be-I froze as a shiver snapped down my back.Did she know..I was..his mate?“Is there an issue?” I flinched as the woman spoke, she was already a few feet away, and I realized I had stopped walking.“I am..I am fine.” I swallowed, following her with my

CHAPTER 44

SAPPHIRE.“Good morning, my lord.” I bowed as I walked into his chamber.He was already dressed, though he was yet to put on his coat, his tunic was a light grey, the silver embroidery at the sleeves and trims were elegant, neat.“Good morning, Sapphire.” Despite how focused on his papers he had appeared when I walked in, he still shut them up to watch me, those hazel eyes warm as always. “I hope you had a fair night?”“Yes, my lord, thank you.” I smiled faintly as I bowed. I did not think Lord Vargen would ever stop asking me these questions whenever I resumed work.“What would you like for breakfast, my lord?” I watched him as I walked in, my hands folded in front of me.“I..” He rose from his office seat, glancing out the window as the sun rose slowly. “I think food can come much later.” He turned back to me with a smile. “Would you like to go for a walk?”I blinked, surprise overtaking my features as I stared at him.“Sir?” I sputtered.“A walk.” Lord Vargen’s smile twitched as h

CHAPTER 45

RYKEN.“I apologize, your majesty-" The woman’s voice was like grating in my ears. Utterly irritating. “-You have not spoken on the matter?” The looked hesitant as she reminded me, her cheeks pale in poorly hidden fright as she bowed slightly.“You will get your answer soon enough.” I tapped quietly on the large desk, my head heavy as a permanent tapping ache repeated itself between my brows.If I lose one more night, I am going to kill someone.“B-But your mejesty-" She stammered, wetting her lips as she glanced to me with a faint furrow of her brows. “T-the quarterly public speech is good for t-the people of Mondegard.” She blabbed on, her lips pressed to a tight line.“Especially now, c-considering the unrest from the rebels-“ I felt my jaw tick at the mention of the rogues.“An-and y-you always make yourself a-available at the appointed ti-"“DO I LOOK LIKE I AM READY TO HEAR YOUR USELESS WORDS?!” My voice echoed in the large office as I roared out, my hands firm on the table as I

CHAPTER 46

SAPPHIRE.So much time has passed.I stared out the window as the sun set, my hand to my chest as I thought to myself.I did not know how many moons it had been, I just knew winter had finally settled, the trees had all clothed themselves in the frozen robes, the snow falling gently as the days passed, increasing with every night.I sighed, turning away from the window as I placed the freshly steamed and folded clothes of lord Vargen into his wardrobe, the fabrics all soft to touch as I placed them one after the other, careful not to wrinkle them.Lord Vargen had left a while ago for another meeting. These days he had been even more busy with the kingdom matters, and I often wondered if he ever found time to rest, as I never knew when he returned after I left.But despite how busy he was, we often found time in the day to discuss.It was a strange thing, really.I could not help feeling, deep inside, that perhaps it was not ought to go this way, that royals and servants did not commun

CHAPTER 47

SAPPHIRE.I did not know what to do.I was frozen.King Ryken walked in like he knew the place like the back of his hand, perhaps he did.This was, after all, his Queens court.His wife.I felt acidic bitterness invade my mouth, my throat, and my blood stream at the realization.His wife.Every other maid present bowed smoothly, none of them surprised, and I took a quiet step back, hoping I could disappear this instant, and then I felt my breath hitch.Because immediately he walked unto the court, immediately I had shifted, his eyes, those crimson eyes, locked on mine.Oh, goddess.I shivered as I stared at him, I did not know what he was thinking what was going through his mind, yet I was unable to look away. It had been far too long, so long it physically hurt.Time was of no value as I stared at him, my heart pounding.“My king.” Then Queen Lystra spoke and the spell was swiftly broken.He blinked, his silver lashes fluttering as he looked away, turning to his queen, and I thought

CHAPTER 48

SAPPHIRE “You have been quiet these days.”I looked up at his words, my eyes widening slightly in surprise.“Oh.” I blinked, wetting my lips as I looked at the tea I was stirring.“Is that so..” I mumbled, placing the cup on the tray before carrying it to him.Lord Vargen picked the cup calmly, placing it on the table as he watched me. I lowered my gaze from his hazel eyes, turning to return the tray to the kitchenette.I sat slowly on the settee, my hands settling on my thigh. It was a normal thing now for me to sit with him, the Beta would not accept anything less.“You did not pour a cup for yourself.” He spoke again. He had not touched his cup, only leaning forward with a slight frown.“I-" I tightened my hand to a fist, my eyes flitting over the design of the carpet. “I do not feel like drinking today, My lord.”“Has something happened, Sapphire?” Lord Vargen’s voice softened as he questioned.I swallowed, turning to him with a shaky smile as I tried laughing lightly.“N-no, My

CHAPTER 49

SAPPHIRE.“Oh, goddess!” I whispered in pleasure as I chewed on the meat, the flavors bursting in my mouth was truly heavenly.“Do you like it?” Lord Vargen smiled as I chewed, and I burned when I realized I had said my words out loud.“Mm-yes-" I paused, swallowing before I continued. “It-it is truly delicious..” I licked the sauce off the side of my lips. “The royal chefs are truly amazing.”“Indeed.” He chuckled lightly, taking a bite of meat with his fork.“Tell me, Sapphire-" he spoke suddenly, staring at the meat in thought. “How often do you eat in a day?” he brushed his dirty blonde locks to the side, hazel eyes lifting to stare at me.I paused before I could take another bite. Had I acted mannerlessly when I ate? I burned in shame.“I-" I sat straighter, gripping my tunic tighter. Lord Vargen’s eyes shifted to my hands, immediately noticing the change.“No, Sapphire. You may eat.” He sighed quietly, his brows lowering. “Do not misunderstand my query.” He shook his head. “I wa

CHAPTER 50

SAPPHIRE.What happened next shocked me.“What in the realms are you both doing here?” The voice spoke from behind me, and then there was utter silence.It was not a voice I knew, but it seemed vaguely familiar. And I was just far too frightened to turn and see who it was.I shivered, my shoulders locked as I tried to breathe.Lord Brogan had not touched me , had not gotten the chance to, and yet I felt worse than when he had dragged me down the halls by my hair, worse than when I had hit the closet when he threw across the room.“Lord Kirov.” Lord Trovak stumbled out, I looked ahead shakily to see his eyes wide from the end of the room.My body stiffened as my eyes lifted higher to lord Brogan, he stared down at me with darkened orbs, his teeth bared and sharp as he morphed.He was so close.I could feel the heat of his breath, the power oozing off him in waves.Too close.“Brogan.” Lord Kirov spoke again, a quiet sigh following. “Would you put yourself together and stop glaring at th
