Chapter 36

and person POV

“Your majesty,” Blair bowed before the king. Her heart beat furiously, like a war drum in her chest. The moment she stepped into the King’s office she could feel that something was terribly wrong.

But on the bright side, her mission was successful. The slave was dead. That was all that mattered. The king must have gotten. news of it, hence why he summoned her.

“Blair.” The king called her name. Ripples of fear ran down Blair’s spine at the tone of his voice

“Yes, your majesty?” She replied. The tremor in her voice cleverly hidden. She kept her eyes focused on her dainty feet in

sandals.

Anger

The feeling of something wrong she had was the king’s anger.

She could feel the tightness in the air. It seeped into her body and held her heart captive. A cold sweat formed on her brow and temples, and she felt a bead of it run down her back. Her hands trembled, and as much as she clasped them together, they

still trembled.

She had been careful, really careful not to incur the king’s wrath in all the years she had been at the pack. She had heard stories of his wrath, and how merciless he could be when he dished out punishments. Lady Nifta had warned her too, never to make the king angry. Blair had adhered to that warning.

Blair had a sinking feeling of why he was angry.

“Look at me when I’m talking to you.” The king commanded.

Even if Blair wanted to disobey, she couldn’t. Her head snapped up and met his eyes. She couldn’t blink. She couldn’t look away. However hard she forced her neck to turn away, to look away from the icy fury of his glowing red eyes, her body wouldn’t listen to her.

He can control you to do anything, with just his voice.

The warnings all came rushing back. Time has dulled them, but Blair remembered them in that moment. As lady Nifra prepared her for the position of the King’s consort, she had given her a rundown of rules and regulations.

“Your majesty. She gasped, tears gathering in her eyes. She had never experienced this. All control of her body seized from her. Everything she had done for the king had been of her own freewill. He let her have her free will.

And now he had taken it back.

“What did I tell you, Blair? About the slave girl, Sabrina?” The king asked. He didn’t show any care for her discomfort. None at all

Blair’s heart sank. She knew it. She knew this was why the king had called her.

But why? Shouldn’t he be glad that she took that wretched girl out of the picture? She was but a smear in the pack. An uncultured, disgusting girl who prided herself on her delusions of being a Luna,

Why was the king so angry? He should be thanking her right now,

“Answer mel” His voice thundered and the space of the office suddenly felt cramped.

“Y–you told me to stay away from her.”

“And?”

“And to to cease hurting her. Blair said the last part in a pitiful whimper.

“Is that so?” The king asked, a hint of sarcasm in his tone. “I’m surprised, for all I thought you could have forgotten my instructions”
