The Forced Maiden For The Cursed Alpha King by Josephine Ivy

Chapter 23

Chapter 23

Sabrina’s POV:

I heard a loud clang and jolted awake.

I had fallen asleep, my back slid down the wall as I fell down to the floor. The pain stung, but I barely felt it. My body had gone numb, and the darkness figured had doubled in number. They touched my hair and laughed, telling me how grimy it was. They laughed, and danced and their voices got louder and louder.

“Sabrina!” A loud voice yelled my name, and I heard an even louder clang. Was that the steel bars? It sounded like it.

A bright light filled the cell. So bright I was forced to squint. I closed my eyes, a low groan deep in my throat. Why is it so bright all of a sudden? Did Blair come back with multiple candles to taunt me?

The darkness figures screeched and ran to the corner, hiding away from the light.

The next thing I felt was someone grabbing my body. I winced as their hand brushed my back and the whip marks there stung a lot. Whoever this person was, they were bathed in pure light.

“Br–bright” gasped.

“Stay with me, okay?” They said. I knew that voice…it was Caldan,

I tried to see him, beyond the light and the blur in my vision, “Dirty,” I said and pushed weakly at his chest. I’m so dirty, I tried to say but the words were too heavy for my weak tongue.

I’m too dirty. I’ll ruin his bright clothes. Why can’t he see that?! Can’t he smell it?t

“…down.”

I’ll get you out of here. He held onto me, his hand under my knees and the other at the back of my head. He held me close to his body, and I felt him carry me right through the steel bars

Oh, that sounds I had heard was him ripping off the steel bars.

The darkness figures screamed and screamed, but couldn’t get any closer. At the back of my mind, I wished I could yank one of them and take it with me, watch it suffer in the bright light.

I couldn’t stay awake for much longer. I heard Caldan say something, but my cars couldn’t decipher what he said. I was knocked out cold before he had taken ten steps out of the cell.

Someone was screaming

The sound of it was agonizing, full of pure terror and pain. My heart lurched and I felt sorry for whoever was screaming so much. What happened to hurt them like that?

1 realized I was the one screaming.

My face was buried in soft mattresses. My back was alight with pain. Voices swam all around me, panicked voices. I struggled to do something! Touch my back, or maybe stop the pain.

My hands were punned firmly.

Tr’ll be over soon,” A soft voice whispered to me, sounding so pamed. I’m sorry, Rina I’m terribly sorry.”

I must have passed out, because the next time I opened my eyes, I was staring at an unfamiliar ceiling. My back hurt a lot less, I guess so because I was able to lie on my back.”

I felt clean, like I had been scrubbed clean of the filth and grime of the cell. I had fragmented memories of the place, and 1 think it was best I didn’t remember it.

Everywhere hurt. My entire body felt sore, like I had been hammered all over with a mallet. It wasn’t a sharp pain, but like the pain that came from healing.

The room I was in didn’t look like a room of the harem. I would know, because the harem rooms all had a white theme about them. White walls, white furniture, sometimes splashes of pastel colors.
