Chapter 17

Sabrina’s POV:

I gripped the doorknob so tight I lost feeling in my fingers from lack of circulation.

She saw me.

That’s all I could think of. She saw me. She saw me.

I maintained a mask of cool composure on my face, but deep inside I was shaking with fright. If there’s anything I’ve noticed, it’s that she seems to be the only one with unrestricted access to the alpha king.

She looked me up and down, depths of distaste in her eyes. “This isn’t over.” She said.

I didn’t see lady Nifra much of the next day.

I went about my duties as I normally would. But today was slightly different. For one, I had way more work than necessary to do. And second. Blair was surprisingly off my case. That didn’t mean she was out of sight though, however I would catch glimpses of her as I worked. She stood with two other high ranking girls her right hand women whose names I’ve come to learn were Cassandra and Jane and she would glower at me.

Never. We will never get along.

By evening, I still had so much to do.

Scrubbing bits of burnt and dried food off the bottom of the large cauldron like pots that were used for my hands were trembling. The tremor moved down my body, reminding me that I hadn’t eaten much today. I raised my head from the pot I was scrubbing and sighed.

I still had six more of these huge pots to wash.

I mean, what’s the point of these people being so cruel? If I’m gonna be washing all the damned utensils they should at least give me some good food, right?!

I huffed and turned back to scrubbing.

“Whatever did that poor pot do to you?”

I jumped, startled by the voice that had spoken. The pot slipped out of my hand and crashed to the floor with a loud bang

Standing right in the doorway was sir Caldan.

I jumped to my feet. “Sir Caldan!” I exclaimed, raising a hand to my chest. My heart was starting to race already. Whether it was from the sudden fright he gave me, or the fact that I wasn’t expecting him, I wasn’t sure. “You scared me.”

“My apologies,” He said with a slight tip of his head. His eyes scanned my face and he smiled, taking a step into the kitchen.

“Have you been standing there long enough?” I asked.

“Long enough to see you murder the pot with your eyes. He chuckled. He held his hands behind lim, his eyes moving
