The Forced Maiden For The Cursed Alpha King by Josephine Ivy

Chapter 31

SABRINA’S POV-

“Answer me! Why do you want me dead?!”

“You have fried brains if you think I’m going to answer your stupid question. Fuck off, slave.” Blair spat, anger lacing her words.

I cocked my head to the side. my hands trembled as I held the knife to her throat, but the last thing I would do is let her notice that. I steadied my hand and made sure I didn’t let up the pressure on her neck at all.

“You’re awfully mouthy for someone who a knife is pressed to her neck.” I said with a dark chuckle. For emphasis, I pressed the knife deeper into her neck, more blood pearled on the blade and slid down the steel. “Answer me, Blair. Why are you trying to kill me? It’s so strange to see you with some balls.”

“Fuck you!” Blair yelled, her nostrils flared and her cheeks became red. “I don’t have anything to say to you.”

“Let this be a warning,” I leaned in closer to her. “Stay away from me.”

She scoffed. “Yeah, like I’ll ever listen to you.” She slammed her forehead into mine.

The force of the smack knocked me off balance, coupled with the fact that I was incredibly dizzy and hadn’t eaten anything substantial. Blair wasted no time. She snatched the knife from me and shoved me off her,

“Got you!” She laughed ruefully.

I felt the sharp sting of the cut before I realized she had cut across my face.

I screamed, my hands flew to my face and came off stained with blood. She had slashed right across my eyes. open, she would have slashed my eyeballs out.

I lost my balance, my foot tangled in the sheets and I came toppling down the bed. The back of my head hit the floor hard, shockwaves of pain rippled through my body, concentrated in my head.

“You’re such a stupid slave.” Blair clocked her tongue in disgust.

I pried my eyes open. Through my hazy eyes, She leaned over me, the knife glinting maliciously.

“You should have just laid still and let this knife find your heart.” She raised the knife, aimed it over my chest. “Goodbye, slave.”

Is this how I meet my end?

Killed by a petty woman?

What have I done with my life? What have I even accomplished? That I would waste away like this.

I refuse. I refuse to die like fucking slave.

“Get off me!” I screamed, my voice rattling the floor boards. I pushed at her with all the strength I could muster.

She flew.

She flew into the wall, her body hit it with a sickening thud that would have made me wince if I wasn’t fuming at her. My eyes widened. I snatched the knife off the floor and stalked over to her.

“You…” She coughed up blood, droplets of it dribbling down her chin.

There was an indent in the wall where she had slammed into. Bits of concrete chipped off and fell to the ground. I looked -away from it and back to Blair.

I pointed the knife at her throat. And all I could see was a red haze over my vision. This bitch. This fucking bitch. Who does she even think she is?

She looked up at me, her eyes wide with fear and misty with tears. Oh she’s scared? But I haven’t even begun with her.
