The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation by Luna Nova

Chapter 44

THE SHADOW OF THE KING VALERIA She turns her back and finally leaves , abandoning me completely alone , staring into nothingness and lost in thought over her words .

I got up before nightfall ; I didnt want to be left alone so close to that eerie forest .

I was hanging large white sheets on the clotheslines , needing to clitub onto a small stool to reach the rope and secure them with wooden pegs .

The cold breeze blew , making the sheets billow while also clearing my mind .

I lowered my head to search for more pegs in the apron I wore , and when I lifted it again I saw him .

On the other side of the sheet , the massive shadow of a lycan stood silently , and I knew very well it was him .

The wind howled through the trees , like a sorrowful wail echoing from the forest .

I stayed still for a few seconds , staring at that terrifying and powerful presence , knowing that the King was watching me too from the other side .

He had every reason to be angry , as he had made perfectly clear .

I had no right to touch the precious belongings of his loved ones .

I was nothing but an intruding maid .

I turned my back on him without speaking , pretending not to know he was there , and walked back into the castle , into that dark place that I no longer knew if it was my home … or my prison .

The next day , I went back to being nothing more than furniture in the Kings chambers no speaking , no eye contact , no listening .
