Chapter 5

Emma's PoV. 

I look above to see King slightly leaning against Lykan. I was so engrossed in checking out the lavish front look of this car that I did not notice him coming out of it.

"I'm looking at this car?" I said. 

"You came to check out the cars, human?" He asks, in his usual cold tone.

"No, King." I say, looking at him.

So he wants to say that besides seeing the Palace and meeting the servants, I should close my eyes to everything else !?

"To my study in one minute." He disappears after speaking. 

And I gape at where he was just standing. Such an incredible power they've got, disappear whenever you want.

My gaze moves to the Lykan. You are truly the real beast.

After taking the picture of the car, I quickly head out of the parking lot. 

I'll be going there more often.

I walk through the garden, then the ballroom, carefully on the staircase and lastly the corridor. 

And I knock as I reach his room.

"Come in." I hear him. I open the gate.

"You're late." He spats as I step inside. 

I looked at my watch. I'm just 15 seconds late, now 16, 17, 18, 19-

'Okay, stop!' 

I move in and close the door behind me. 

I take a few steps and speak, 

"I apologize for not having the inhuman speed like you."

Huh. Who does he think he is?

He's still looking at me with his eyes holding no emotion.

"Sit." He says by sitting in his King-sized chair.

I walk towards him and sit on the chair placed in front of him.

"Before the Palace tour, there are some basic rules you need to follow no matter what." He speaks as I settle.

I nodded. 

"First of all, you will answer with words." He says, irritation is evident in his voice. 

"What's the difference between the two?" I asked while a titter escaped. 

"You'll not talk back or argue with me. GOT IT?" He shouts by standing up from his chair. 

'Ohh!' I leaned back a little at his action. Did I make him angry?

I looked into his eyes, they are brighter than before. I really did!

"Do you get that?" He yells again.

"Yes, king." I speak. He is dangerous.

And he, after throwing anger-filled daggers on me, sits back in his place.

"You'll be working six days a week from 9 am to 9 pm." WHAT!?

My eyes open in shock but immediately go normal after looking at his angry face. 

"Your salary will be $9000 a month." Somebody tell this vampire that one needs time to spend money. When will I spend them? In my dreams? I should work in my dreams as well...

"You can't take any day off on your own." He continues.

"What if I'll fell sick?" I ask and his eyes immediately go bright again before shouting.

"I DON'T CARE! And did I give you the permission to talk back!?" 

Umm, should I say 'no' or should I stay quiet? 

"DID I?!"

"No, King." I immediately speak. 

"Last warning to you." He says in a dangerously calm tone. 

'He looks even more sexy like this!' Seriously ?!

I'm now running out of patience. What if he's the King, I'm just asking simple questions. 

'It's clearly seen that he is not used to people talking back to him.' Well, then I'm, too, not used to tolerate this type of behavior. And I never will be.

"And the last thing, you'll obey whatever I will say to you." He finished. 

"What?" I said with a laugh. He might be kidding.

I look at him, he is boiling in anger right now. 

But there's no way I'll just obey whatever he says. I won't be fucking pigs if he'll say!!

The laugh fades from my face as I see him. His eyes aren't showing any sign of red, they are black right now. 

This man has really got some serious issues.

"I a-" 

In a blink of an eye, I hear a thud sound and feel a sharp pain in my back. My arms are squeezed tightly and when I open my eyes, I'm aligned to a broad black shirt with buttons. 

That's when I registered that I'm harshly pushed to a wall with King holding my arms tightly.

 I hiss, as I feel agony around my lower back.

"Why can't you just shut your mouth?" He shouts and I close my eyes reflexively. 

Before my mind could think, my mouth opens, 

"Why can't you talk without getting angry?" My eyes go wide because of the words I said out that loud. I am dead now...

"You-" He speaks, in a dangerously impatient voice, closing the distance between us and making his grip even more tight around my arms. 

"Say that you'll obey me." He utters in the same dangerous voice.

I stay quiet, focusing more on the pain in my arms and the back.

"SAY IT!" He shouts while shaking me and God, he will break my arms now.

"No, I won't obey everything you'll say." I spat. Oh no!

I look up and see him clenching his jaw, the next moment he carelessly pushes me which makes my balance wobble and I fall on the ground. 

My hand involuntarily wanders to my arms. I'm not able to feel anything in this area right now. 

Such a heartless monster he is. 

"You will obey me, human."

"NOW, GET OUT!" He shouts, almost deafening my ears.

This man is the accurate definition of craziness. 

I stand up from the ground. I smoothen my clothes and without taking a glance at him, I leave his room.

The moment I step out of his room, an invisible strong force pushes me, making me fall on the ground again.

"Why is everyone pushing me today?" I said in frustration. I just fell a few seconds ago.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't see you." I hear a masculine voice.

I look above and see a man standing in front of me. He has red eyes.
