SABRINAS POV

The king Right in the doorway.

1 froze up, my eyes wide with shock. And perhaps fear. He made no move to come into the room, or to leave. His eyes held mine, cold and unfeeling

“Kina Caldan whispered against my lips. His hand on my cheek moved to my neck. I kissed him back, and I felt a shock run down my body

The prolonged eye contact with the king made me uncomfortable. What is he doing there? And why is he looking at me like that!! Should I pause? Should I call Caldan’s attention?

I didn’t want to

I wrapped my arms around Caldan’s neck, tugging him closer to me. His hand grabbed my waist, his fingertips dug into my skin. I gasped into his mouth, my eyes fluttering shut for a second. He licked my bottom lip, and his tongue slid into my mouth. A shudder ran down my spine, and I hit back a moan. His tongue swept across mine, hot and rough, he nipped at my lower lip and I heard him groan.

Dear heavens!

He was the first to pull back. His hand on my cheek caressed my face, his thumb running lines on my lips.

I glanced behind him at the doorway, and the king was gone.

“Is everything okay?” He asked, his eyes searching mine.

I turned back to him and smiled. Yes, everything is okay. Perfectly fine. “One more?”

He laughed softly. “Your wish is my command

I stared at the list of tasks to be done in my hands. First up, I had to clean the King’s office. When I asked lady Nifra if I should shift the task to like fifth or tenth place, she shot me a glare and told me to follow the order. As I always have.

At a point I began to wonder if I had imagined last night.

I’m sure as hell I didn’t imagine kissing Caldan, and just thinking about it made me giddy and my cheeks pink all over again. But perhaps I imagined the King?

Either way, I didn’t think much about it. I went to sleep, and I had the best sleep of my life last night. And this morning, I’m back to work as usual.

The list today wasn’t too bad. It was less than the normal one, And I didn’t ask about it. The last time, it hadn’t ended well for

So I took my cleaning supplies and headed to the king’s office. As I walked, I hummed a happy tune to myself. I tried to remember the last time I had been this happy in the morning Perhaps back when I didn’t know my mate was fucking my sister? Or before all this as a slave tribute went down?

Either way, I was thankful to the moon goddess that I woke up happy. And nothing can spoil my good mood today.

The moment I got to the King’s office I paused and stared at the door. The carvings of demon wolves stared back at me. And I felt my mood die. Just a little.

I raised my hand and knocked.
