The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation by Luna Nova

Chapter 33

MISUNDERSTANDINGS VALERIA The disdainful stares didnt take long to arrive when they eagerly stood , expecting the King , and only saw his ugly maid .

Where is His Majesty ? one of them asked , glancing toward the door that had already closed .

The King cannot come personally .

I will be making the selection .

I dont even know how I managed to get those words out when my throat was drowning in thousands of negative thoughts .

Seriously ? Thats disappointing .

What kind of taste could she have ? Maybe shell pick the ugliest out of envy , Who are you to be doing something as important as selecting the possible future Queen ? a redhead with exotic features asked haughtily .

My identity doesnt concern you , but I dont think its very smart to insult the person deciding which of you gets the chance to spread her legs for His Majesty tonight , I added , staring them all down .

They lined up with sighs of resignation , standing side by side .

It seemed they had been instructed or perhaps this wasnt their first time here .

And so , I sank into yet another level of humiliation , selecting the perfect lovers for the same man who had sworn .

he wouldnt be with anyone else while our deal lasted .

Its unbelievable , the whole jealous spectacle he put on in front of Quinn , only to turn around and do this to me now .

I walked down the line , one by one , as they parted their robes to show me their assets .

All flawless , with perfect curves everything a male could want , I suppose .

I didnt even know his true preferences , so I just picked three , and honestly , they were the least attractive ones .
