The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation by Luna Nova

Chapter 5

Aahh, its horrible, shes deformed! Youre just jealous, thats why you want to keep us away from the King! The Lord has said you must leave now, I repeated impassively, standing at the foot of the bed while they hurled insults at me.

But I felt nothingnot cold, not heat.

I thought about how to get them out since, weakened or not, there were three of them and only one of me.

Just then, loud knocks echoed from the side door leading to the hallway, a door I hadnt even noticed before.

It had to be the person sent to remove them from the castle.

I walked over and opened it, revealing two sturdy servants who entered without a word.

The women began to resist, covering their nakedness, screaming that their bodies were only for the King, threatening that our heads would roll.

I didnt need to be here long to see through their lies.

That man had used them like disposable objects and was now discarding them like trash.

The blonde rushed toward the door leading to the dining hall, but I stepped in front of her, standing firm and blocking her way.

Have some dignity and leave already.

The King has ordered it.

Dont risk dying.

I want him to tell me himself! Last night, he showed me otherwise! Get out of my way! she lunged at me, baring her fangs.

I defended myself, grabbing her arms mid-air as we struggled.

Her long claws scratched me in her fury, and I knew I could control her because, right now, she was weak.

This she-wolf was stronger than mehonestly, anyone was stronger than me.

With the help of the servants, we managed to drag the last crazed woman out of the room.

I shut the door, breathing heavily.

Quite the first day on the job, I muttered in resignation, staring at the disaster I now had to clean.

***** I wiped the sweat from my forehead, taking a moment to catch my breath, surveying the nearly tidy room.

The worst part was the bed.

Even after removing the dirty sheets, I had gone overboard with the water.

So, I thought of pushing the mattress closer to the window to let it air out and catch some sun.

Mmnn, I grunted, yanking at the heavy king-size mattress, my hands trembling.

I doubted I could move it.

I kept struggling when How many centuries does it take you to organize a room? His voice startled meI hadnt heard him enter.
