The Forced Maiden For The Cursed Alpha King by Josephine Ivy

Chapter 26

SABRINA’S POV

All strength lynched from my muscles and bones. I collapsed on my bed, and I could feel my body trembling.

After a whole day of slaving away at his Majesty’s private wing, I was finally done with all my duties. He has rejected Caldan’s pleas to return me to the harem, and I felt the dread.

Just one day. It’s only been one day and I feel half dead. What am I going to do? I’m sure I have a lot of days working for him lined up in front of me. Perhaps if I avoid him as I had done today, all would be fine.

Oh, and Caldan.

I grabbed my pillow and hugged it to my chest, a smile lighting up my lips. He had been with me today, after my duties were completed and I was on the verge of tears. We went for a walk, and for a moment was like everything was back to normal. Or at least as normal as it should be.

Perhaps my days here won’t be all bad. Perhaps after everything I’ll be able to smile again. Thanks to Caldan.

The next moming, I stared at the scroll in my hands. More work to do. Today had an extra task than yesterday’s.

Lady Nifra stared at me, her icy eyes challenged me as if daring to see what I would do, or what I would say.

I had nothing to say to her, honestly. I had learned from all my days here that talking will get me nowhere. Instead of wasting my breath arguing and crying, I should put my energy irito doing some of my work.

And also, if I finish on time I could have more time to hang out with Caldan. His trip isn’t anytime soon, and I’m really grateful that he’s going to be around.

1 finished my duties on time. I hadn’t seen the king all day, and was beyond happy because of that. I can’t handle another/ face to face encounter with him. The man is so terrifying.

During the evenings, I would take a walk with Caldan and we’d have dinner together. We’d talk about our day, and what happened. Caldan would always ask if I was having much trouble and to which I would always say: “no, I’m fine. I don’t even

feel it.

I lied. I do feel it. But Caldan is doing so much for me, and the last thing on my mind is to burden him with

more worries.

Three days went by in this manner. I’d do my duties, sometimes bumping into the King, sometimes not. And thankfully we didn’t have to speak. I’d greet him and he’d promptly ignore me and I’d go about my day. Once I finished, id spend some time with Caldan. Sometimes I’d be too tired and just go back to my room in the harem.

It was good. It really was. I was starting to adapt to this hellish place,

Or so I thought.

One evening as I was scrubbing the hallways, Blair came in.

I looked up and mei her eyes. “You little bitch. I hissed under my breath, angry that my work had gone to waste. I threw the scrubbing brush that I was using at her. “You fucking bitch! Do you have any idea how long it took to get this place clean?

She dodged the brush, but it missed her face by a hairline. “Like fucking care about your worries! What are you doing in
