The Forced Maiden For The Cursed Alpha King by Josephine Ivy

Chapter 45

SABRINAS POV

“I’m sorry“” I asked, unable to believe what I had just heard.

“I believe your ears work fine.” The king said, voice flat.

“Yes yes, they do. It’s just think I misheard you just now” At the back of my mind there’s a very tiny voice that’s telling me to shut up, fix my tone and my face. That I’m taking to my king and I could die for disrespecting him. He would snap my neck.

I shushed that voice by telling it I wasn’t being disrespectful. I was only having a simple conversation with him.

“You heard fine.” He snapped.

And I pulled back.

Strange things are happening of late.

is room is mine?”

This

“Yes.” He said

I looked around the room. No doubt, its very lovely. And there’s windows, I could cry just because of that alone. But I also know that this room is deep in the palace. And what does that mean, it simply means that now I’m closer to the king in terms of distance.

And I hate that.

“My apologies, your majesty.” I said and bowed. “I appreciate your kindness. But I cannot stay here. I would prefer to have my old room back.”

“No.”

I snapped my head upright and looked at him. “No!!” I gasped, my tone higher than I had expected.

“You will stay here. And that’s an order.”

His words caused a chill to run down my spine.

An order.

Fucking hell.

I bit my lower lip hard, anger flaring in my veins. I knew deep down that I must not be delusional. It’s not like he took pity on me in that disgusting small room and out of the kindness of his heart decided to make my living quarters a bit better.

No.

He’s doing this so he has me on hand at all times.

Back when I was in that room, there was this distance between us. After my duties for the day, I would return to my room and he would leave me alone.

But now, judging by the fact that he’s right in the room with me, it won’t be like that anymore.

“You’re quite fond of disobedience,” He said.

No shit. I almost said out loud. I bit my tongue and listened.

“Disobey me again, and your body will tell.”

I shuddered. But every sharp retort I had died on my tongue. Damn him.

And to think he apologized to me. Apologized about what exactly? If he was truly sorry, he would release me and let me live my life. He would believe me when I said I wasn’t like Zayn. And I would be free of here.
