The Forced Maiden For The Cursed Alpha King by Josephine Ivy

Chapter 19

Xander’s POVI

“Your majesty,” Nifra said. “I have the reports as you had requested.”

I looked up from the pile of papers laid out in front of me up at Nifra. She had her head bowed, her hands clasped in front of her.

“Are they still together?” I asked through grit teeth.

Nifra nodded. “Again and again he convinces her to leave her duties and go out on these walks with him! She has done the same today. What are we going to do about this, your majesty

I rubbed my temples. I couldn’t fall sick, but I swear right now I feel a headache brewing inside my head.

Caldan and Zayn’s horrible mate. I hadn’t ever seen this coming. The day that my brother would be seen hanging around a slave. To the point of abusing his powers just to free her from her duties.

“Send for Caldan.” I said to Nifra.

“Yes your majesty

She left and returned a few minutes later with Caldan.

“I see you’ve fixed up the place,” He commented dryly as he walked into my study. He looked around, nodding to himself. “You should really watch your tongue, Nifra snapped in annoyance. She glared at him, her lips in a deep frown. Caldan turned to her and smiles. “Do you hear my brother complaining about my tone?”

“That’s enough,” i said, before this would turn into a full blown argument between them. It wasn’t difficult. One minute they’d be across the room and the next they’d be at each other’s throats crying for blood. “Nifra, thank you. I’ll send for you

later.”

She bowed, but not before she flashed a cold look at Caldan, Without any further words she turned and left.

“Will you sit down?” I said to Caldan. He leisurely strolled around my studio, touching things and nodding to himself.

The roses, were they your idea? You’re thinking of romance?” He asked, cocking his head to the vases of roses standing in a corner. Red roses, white roses, and the rare black ones.

They roses were placed there by Nifra, to supposedly brighten the atmosphere.

“The roses are none of your concern, Caldan. Sit. We have a lot to discuss.”

“Does this have to do with the Shadow pack and their shenanigans? I have it under control. They will be sending over the new offering before the week runs out and…”

“It’s not about the shadow pack. Caldan, sit your ass down.”

Caldan stared at me, his brow raised in surprise at the casual tone I used on him. “It’s brother to brother today, right?”

“Yes,”

“Very well,” He said. He walked over to my desk and took a seat. Be flashed me a smile. “What is the matter?”

That slave girl that you’re hanging around what exactly do you think you’re doing?”

For a moment, he didn’t say anything. He stared at me, his eyes void of any emotion. Sometimes I felt a spark of annoyance with how shamelessly he could look at me and hide his emotions from me.
