The Forced Maiden For The Cursed Alpha King by Josephine Ivy

Chapter 46

XANDER’S POV

My breath stumbled to a stop in my chest the moment Sabrina stepped into the dining hall.

From a far I could see her, the slight furrow of apprehension and confusion on her brow, the way she bit her lip–something I noticed she always did when she was thinking she spotted me, but form that distance she couldn’t see me dearly. Only 1 could. She walked closer, her footfalls echoing lightly through the hall. Her hair rumbled down her shoulders like river of molten gold. She got closer, when she saw me her eyes widened and she gasped in shock.

Join me,” I said, waving towards the table.

“Your majesty,” She greeted with a bow. She took a seat eight chairs away. I frowned at that, but I wasn’t about to address it

On cue servants began pouring into the dining hall serving dishes. Sabrina shifted in her seat as she was served, she smiled at the servant but made no move to touch her food.

“Well,” I said and she turned to me. “Eat.”

“I’m not hungry, your majesty.” She said.

That is a lie. Even I can tell that just by looking at her. She’s eaten nothing since lunch, and must be starving. Her eyes held mine, sparkling like the finest cuts of sapphire. Brimming with contempt.

“Eat.”

She folded her hand in her lap, her back straight as a rod. “I’m not hungry.” She said again, adamant on maintaining that lie.

Anger sparked inside my chest. I invite her to dine with me and she gives me this attitude? Being difficult for what exactly? I’ve always know this woman was stubborn. But this stubborn?

She’s a brat at this point. An insufferable brat.

“You won’t eat?”

“I’m not hungry.” She said again.

“Go to your room. Since you’re not hungry.”

She rose to her feet without a seconds hesitation and walked out, her steps hasty, the gown bunched up in her hands.

Dear heavens!

She’s that serious about this?! I watched her leave, and it briefly crossed my mind to call her back and force her to eat against

all odds.

I didn’t.

She left the windows open

Sabrina curled up in bed, hugging two pillows to her chest as she slept peacefully. Her room door made no sound as I walked in, a cold draft from the windows blew off the candles she had lit. She shuddered, but didn’t wake up.

It’s freezing in here. And she’s not even sleeping under the blankets.

I walked closer to her bed side, inclining my head to the side so I could see her face. When she’s asleep, she looks so peaceful Worry and hatred gone from her face, it makes me realize how young she is.
