The Forced Maiden For The Cursed Alpha King by Josephine Ivy

Chapter 13

Sabrina’s POV

Your duties resume immediately.” Lady Nifra said the moment she walked into the room the next morning.

No shit.

“But I’m not yet recovered fully.” I said.

She gave me a cold look. “It’s not in my power. It has already been decided.”

My expression turned sour. Oh, turns out last night wasn’t a dream after all. I raised a hand to my neck where the alpha of alphas had curled his fingers around last night. I had hoped, prayed to the goddess above that it was a terrible bad dream. and I would wake up and all would be fine.

It wasn’t a bad dream. He was really here. And he really increased my slavery by ten times.

“Get ready now.” She snapped. “You start with the dining hall. And after that you have to trim the gardens and scour the kitchens from top to bottom.”

“But the dining hall takes half the day?”

“Take your complaints to his Majesty.”

I resisted the urge to glare at her. “You know I can’t do that!”

The corners of her thin lips curled up in a smirk. “You poor thing. Your life is so unlucky.”

I rolled my eyes at her. “Like I don’t know.” I grumbled under my breath.

“Get moving! The earlier you start, the faster you finish.”

My heart fell into my stomach with a loud splash. I felt that cold hatred in my chest again directed at the alpha of alphas. Nifra turned and walked out of the room. I followed behind her. I guess because I nearly died, I got two days of break where I ate real food and slept in a comfortable cloud bed.

I had a sinking feeling in my stomach that everything was about to get very very bad.

The dining ball erupted into shouts and rounds of applause. Heat grew from my chest up to my neck and face as I stared at the crowd of girls applauding me.

“Welcome back Luna!” Blair stepped forward and three a handful of colorful paper bits in the air. All the girls followed her lead and did as she did. I watched the paper bits cascade to the ground and thought how much of a pain it would be to get

Blair walked up to me, a huge smile on her face as she clapped.

“What is all this about? I asked, feeling uncomfortable with the numerous eyes focused on me.

“We’re giving you a wonderful welcome back party Blair said. She gestured to the girls behind her. “Don’t you appreciate it? After all, we spent so long on our knees, hands clasped togethers we prayed for your speedy recovery. I guess the moon gothlew answered us after all,

I scoffed. “You’ve got to be joking right now.” I sput:
