Lahat ng Kabanata ng Sapphire: Enslaved by the Lycan Alpha king: Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

RYKEN.Perhaps this was the goddess mocking me.Me.“Your Majesty.” Walkh stared at me, his eyes lifted from the unsealed scroll he had brought with him. “Do you approve?” He raised a brow.What in the lands was he even talking about?I clenched my jaw as I looked down at the table, all the papers were organized perfectly, Vargen’s writing was neat, legible.Why was I so damned distracted?!“Like you do not know.” My wolf grumbled, equally as pissed as I was. “You only fool yourself.”“And you irritate me with your persistence!” I roared my response In my thought, my head pounding with a headache I was already accustomed to.“Your Majesty-"“I KNOW-" I cut Walkh off sharply, shutting my eyes as I looked away, staring out the window. “I know.” I let out a slow breath, my hands clenched tight. What was all this?!I caught Walkh’s brows furrowed slightly, his eyes flashing briefly to Vargen at my words.“We shall..” I shut my eyes again, thinking back to what he had said. “We shall meet

SAPPHIRE.I walked back to the slave quarters. My steps were shaky as I walked down the hall, my head lowered as I passed by tense looking guards as they martched down the pathway.Everyone was so stiff.I continued walking, wiping my face as I left the north wing. It was as I neared the east wing that I realized how tired I felt. I wrapped my arms round myself, looking round in caution. I was about walking by a crossing to the arches of the east wing, when a hand reached out to me quickly.“Sapphire!” I turned to Tyda with a gasp, my heart pounding in my chest. I had thought it was an invader..“What in the realms are you still doing here?” He stared wide eyed at me, his eyes lifting as he watched the rushing guards. “I-“ I cut myself off, my hands grabbing the side of my tunic as I breathed. “Whatever your reason-“ Tyda shook his head, leading me towards the slave court. “-it is not worth your life today.”I nodded in silence as we passed through the heavy doors, our steps quick

RYKEN.I felt the shift.The tear. Like half my veins ripping out of my heart, blood pouring out of me in invisible pain.I breathed in, my breath shaky as I rose from my desk. What had just happened?My wolf was silent.I frowned at the realization. It was a silence that came with absence. I could not feel him, like he was barely even there. Within me.What was this?I was moving without understanding where I was headed. I just knew I needed to leave. I had to.I walked down the halls, my steps quick and panicked, as I watched round with quick glances. Something was not right.Goddess, what was it?!I reached my court in moments, pushing the doors open as I walked in, my feet taking me to the terrace. What was this? what was this?I reached up to pull my hair, my scalp burning as I paced. The sun had not yet risen, and the air was ice cold, winter wind blowing fierce on my skin as I leaned against the railing, staring ahead in a squint.I had never felt this way. I was irritated, an

RYKEN“Vargen’s personal maid.”I stared at Lystra, my breath coming out slow as she nodded.What..What had-“Sapphire.” As if the blade could not go any deeper, Lystra nodded as she said her name, and I felt my blood boil.My anger angered me further, and further and further. It was a vicious cycle.“Excuse me, your majesty.” I turned as Vargen, finally, spoke. “I must attend to certain pressing matters.” His eyes were dark, averted as he bowed to Lystra and I. “Alright, Vargen.” Lystra smiled as she watched him walk away, her eyes softening. “Ensure you find the proper time to rest.” She called after him.Vargen only nodded, saying nothing as he walked off. “He works so hard.” Lystra said, her code muffling as I felt my blood rush to my ears.I felt something in me burn as I watched him walk away, his steps calm, smooth.Full of life.Her life.I scoffed at my sudden thought. Like I gave a damn about the slave.At least she was useful in the end.I told myself.I told myself.“Ry

SAPPHIRE.“What in the realms are you doing?” King Ryken’s voice was low, so low I barely heard it, but the venom in his gaze burnedmore than my pain.I shifted out of lord Vargen’s grip, blood draining from my face as I lowered my head.“Your Majesty.” Vargen rose from the bed, his hand settling gently on mine before letting go.I felt goosebumps rise on my arm at his touch, and before I could think I lifted my eyes to the King, my heart skipping at theclear disgust that took over his features, and quickly, I looked away again. “What brings you here?” Lord Vargen continued, walking over to him.“I thought your little slave was dead.” I flinched at how sharply he bit his words out, the waves of his power like a force hanging lowly from the ceiling.He still hated me so much..I gripped the sheets over my thighs tightly, biting my lips hard as I tried to hold back my tears. Even after thinking I had died?“I thought so too.” I looked up to see Lord Vargen smile gently, his eyes bright
