Chapter Forty-six Maelis My body began to shake, my worst nightmare just became a reality and I was helpless, there was nothing I could do to save myself, and there was also no one to save me. I was sure Prince Ulric would have done something if there was really a way out, he would have found a way to bring me to his quarters if it was as easy as I thought. My gaze shifted to where Madam Fiona was and when our eyes met, she gestured sternly that join the other maids that were sent to prince Kael’s quarters. Each step I took towards them made my reality clearer than before. I wished there was something I could do, but there was nothing. I was stuck with prince Kael for the coming weeks of maybe months before the next distribution. I knew what I was in for, hell. He would show me hell and I knew it already, I could already feel the heat emanating out of the fire. The only thing that could help me was the hope that prince Kael wouldn’t care about me, or the next distribution would h
Chapter Forty-sevenMaelisMy head hang and my body continue to shake as the Luna Queen approached me, I knew there was no way out this time, I would have to face her, and I could see the rage and anger clearly written on her face.I shouldn’t have said anything, I shouldn’t have looked into prince Kael’s eyes and said all I said to him. I made a big mistake, a terrible on and it was going to cost me a lot. I was scared and terrified, and I could only hope that she wouldn’t do more than punishing me. I murmured a silent prayer that madam Fiona wouldn’t hear about this because it would be her ticket to finally do what she had been planning to do to me. She wouldn’t think twice before sending me to the Royal hotel.“How dare you speak to the alpha prince and the future alpha king of this pack in that manner? You dirty slave!” She growled and my head swung to the side as a loud and hot slap landed hard on my face.My cheeks turned red almost immediately, and the tears I had been trying
Chapter Forty-eightUlricI paced back and forth in the room, my heart racing through multiple things I could do to save Lis. She was sent to Kael’s quarters which automatically means she was in danger, and I needed to help her.I wished I wasn’t as helpless as I was, I wished I had as much right and authority as my other brothers have, I would have helped her and did some things even before the distribution started, but unfortunately, I was just a Royal with a name but no power.I was helpless, but I just couldn’t sit and not do anything about what was happening. I just couldn’t rest and not be worried about her. Even if I wanted to block off the thoughts of her, they came rushing back. I couldn’t do without thinking about her, and the fact she could be in danger only made it worse.Should I ask mother for help? She would only misunderstand and get more worried that I was going out of my way for a maid, I don’t want her to be worried over nothing.I need to find another way, I needed
Chapter Forty-nine Maelis Trouble after trouble, a problem after the other, that was all I knew was going to happen by working as Prince Kael’s personal slave, that was everything I expected, and I knew it was going to happen. When we got to his quarters, he directed the other maids to their different positions, except me. My heart kept thumping hard in my chest, I tried so hard now to show my fear, but I couldn’t control the constant shaking of my hands. He turned to me every minute, and I would stop walking, wondering if he has anything to say to me, but he would just resume back walking without saying anything, leaving me confused and frustrated. He did it about five times until we got to his room and he finally turned me to me, a big smile on his face. “Do you know who you are and what you are to me now?” That question was really unexpected and I didn’t know what to say, I just hung my head and didn’t say a word to him. “When I ask you question, you give a response.” He ye
Chapter FiftyUlricThe way she hugged me so tightly, I could tell that there was something wrong, something that wasn’t good and was giving her a tough time.I wanted to pull her back immediately and ask her what was going on, to see if I could solve her problem, but I just held her close, running my finger through her hair; the first thing that attracted me to her.The deep and hot breaths she took sent shivers down my body and I could feel goosebumps jumping off my skin. The urge to ask what was going on grew, but she seemed like she wanted the hug so bad, so I continued to hold her close while looking around to be sure that there was no one coming.I knew Kael was a lot to handle and it must have gotten to her, I expected that, but I didn’t expect it to be as fast as this. Kael didn’t possibly do anything bad to her, did he?I wanted to ask all these questions, but she just held me tightly, and didn’t move, and I didn’t want to disturb her, until she was ready to pull away.After
Chapter Fifty-oneMaelisI stumbled through the palace hallway with constant sniffles and my heart racing. I just needed that warmth that comes with being in Ulric’s arms, but it reminded me of my present situation and how hard the whole thing was, I just couldn’t hold my tears back.Everything was getting harder than I thought and there doesn’t seem to be a way out for me. I would have to help myself out of this, whether I like it or not, but I just couldn’t thunk of anything. What if my mom never died? What if I didn’t go into that fire to save my dad? Would my life have been better than all of these? Would I have had a place in my father’s heart? Would he have sold me off as a maid even with that? I shook my head as tears rolled down my eyes again, I wished I could turn back the hands of the clock and change some things, I wanted to change some stupid decisions I made, especially going into that fire to save father. My life would have at least been better if I still had my pretty
Chapter Fifty-twoMaelisI shuddered with fear, my whole body became sweaty almost immediately. A lot of things raced through my mind, but I couldn’t make any sense out of it, I just couldn’t. I didn’t understand one thing that was going on, I couldn’t figure out a single thing.I moved it back to how I came in, how I saw him sniffling something that I had never seen before, and the horrible stench that was coming from it, and now he was ripping off his clothes, to do what?I just didn’t know what to do, I was so scared and my whole body felt so heavy, making it very difficult to move them.When I saw that he didn’t just stop with ripping off his shirt, but was also going down to his shorts, I immediately rolled down from the couch and motioned for the door, hoping he wouldn’t see me.Unfortunately, he did, his strong hand grabbed me and he pinned me to the wall, his eyes were blood red, blazing with a mixture of rage and longing which wasn’t a good sight, I knew I had to leave, but t
Chapter Fifty-threeUlricEven after she left and acted like she was fine, I couldn’t push back the feeling that she wasn’t fine and she needed me. No matter how hard I tried to take my mind off it and pretend like nothing was wrong, the thoughts still kept rolling back in that she wasn’t fine and she needed me, she needed my help.I couldn’t go back to my room, I just stood there, on the same spot, my heart racing with thoughts of her and how I wished there was something I could do. I wished I could do more than just comforting her and wiping off her tears, I wished I could give her things she wanted and do whatever she asked me for, but couldn’t do a thing. I was completely helpless, just like she was.I spent minutes standing on the same spot, thinking about her and things I could do to help her. That wasn’t the first time I would feel just as a helpless and find my royal title useless, but it hurt me down to the core this time because there were things I wanted to do, important th
