Alpha King’s Lost Luna by Aubrey Pepper

Chapter 253

SILAS

Much to my irritation, it was my duty to watch over the sorceress tonight. I wasn’t thrilled by the pros had to follow the orders of my king.

Unlike the others, I hadn’t believed a single word that poured out of Roxy’s mouth this afternoon. In her stor claimed were completely factual, she’d implied that the great sorcerers of old were omnipotent and incredible, werewolves were utterly useless. According to supposed legend, the most powerful of the magic-wielders could read people’s minds and even manipulate them when they saw fit.

But at the end of the day, these legends were merely stories. There was no proof that her stories were true and I only believed in solid evidence. Stories had never been enough. I needed to witness things with my own eyes, and thus far, I had no reason to believe her.

Besides, the sorceress was cunning. All she wanted was to play with our thoughts and intimidate them. Her sea-green eyes had a fierceness about them that couldn’t be denied, and no matter how much she fluttered her long eyelashes, I wasn’t falling for her tactics.

Unfortunately, once she realized that I wasn’t succumbing to her manipulation, she opted to make my evening a living hell. She kept making endless requests- to eat, drink, wipe her face, take her to relieve herself… the requests were constant, and I barely had a moment of silence.

When she wasn’t speaking, her gaze was fixed upon me as if I had something on my face. Though she didn’t comment on whatever was on her mind, her stare felt heavy, and there came a point where I forced myself to turn away slightly. But even when I closed my eyes, I could still sense her. It was annoying me to no end.

“Will you not speak?” she prompted me with mocking in her tone. When I didn’t respond, she spoke again. “Really? Not a word from you-”

“Shut up,” I growled before I could stop myself, and anger boiled in my chest. When I turned to face her, I was irritated to see that she wasn’t intimidated at all. On the contrary, her lips curled into a grin and she tilted her head to the side slightly

“So, you do have a voice after all,” she remarked, and then she laughed lightly. “I know you don’t trust me, seems to hold no weight. Your Alpha King trusts me and that’s all that matters.”

“Silence,” I snarled. “If you want to challenge my loyalty to the king, you should simply hold your breath instead. Unlike you, I’m not going to betray my Alpha.”

My voice was heavy with disdain, so much so that Roxy was stunned for a moment. Her lips parted in surprise and then she gulped.

“You don’t understand,” she said in a low voice that was nearly a whisper, and she tucked a strand of black hair behind her ear. “You understand nothing.”
