The Forced Maiden For The Cursed Alpha King by Josephine Ivy

Chapter 182

Xander’s POV:

“That must have hurt.” Sabrina said, her tone biting and sharp “And not to invalidate your hurt or anything, but seeing you treat me like I was the most irrelevant thing ever, like I meant nothing, like I was disposable that hurt.”

I waited for her to finish. The hurt in her voice cut through my heart like a knife. She steeled herself, despite the tears gathering in the corners of her eyes, she didn’t shed a single drop.

“I hated myself because of that. I hated myself for how I reached out to you, despite how horribly you treated me. And when I was in that wretched place, I still thought about you. And that only made me hate myself the most.

I felt disgusted with myself. Hearing her voice her pain, trying so hard to keep it all together. I wanted to close the space between us and hug her. But I instinctively knew that if I did that, she would kick me. And it wouldn’t be funny.

“I’m sorry.” I said, from the depths of my soul. “You are not irrelevant to me. Sabrina, you mean a lot to me. More than you could ever know, or I could ever put into words. You’re the most relevant person on this earth to me.”

Surprise flitted across her eyes. I laughed to myself.

“Everything Orion said was proof enough. And last night, if I had lost you, I would have never been able to continue living.”

“Why? You’re the king. You’ve likely got people to live for.”

“A king is easily replaced, Sabrina. You are not. I never got to reveal how I felt about you prior to last night. And worse, I never got to earnestly seek your forgiveness. I’m so fucking glad I didn’t lose you.”

She inhaled deeply. “This is all very surprising, your majesty.”

“If this is too much, we can continue this talk later. I know it’s a lot to take in, and I don’t want you to get overwhelmed.”

“No, no, I’m fine.”

“Are you

sure?”

She nodded. “I just don’t know what to say right now.”

“You can ask me anything you want. Anything.”

From the glint in her eyes, I knew she wouldn’t go easy. but I need this right now. She needs this.
