It has been two weeks since I began my duties and so far I've managed to avoid trouble. To be honest, the way the north was described was far from how it was. Through there were a few that spiteful towards us but we were treated as paid slaves. Today I was to clean the library in the south wing. The alphas wing. The matron said the king was not around this morning but if he came back while I was still up there, I was to make myself invisible until he left.
I pulled my trolley up with me to the south wing. The place was quiet because no other person lived on this side of the palace. I unlocked the library doors and pulled the trolley inside. The library was so fucking large. Some of the shelves were so high a ladder was required to reach them. I decided to take one key out of the bunch of library keys. I could spend my free time here since it was rarely used. I began to clean and arrange the books that were lying about. After four hours I was done, I left the library to return my cleaning supplies and the key to the library. I went to the lunch hall were the other slaves had gathered for the midday meal. I had made few friends including an older maid Althea who had taken me under her wing. We shared the same bunk and I sat bedide her as the meals were distributed. Our table consisted of girls from the same room as I and Althea. A few were older girls but majority of us were the new girls.
My duties end at lunch each day and I spend the rest of the day in my bunk hiding away from the rest of the palace. Today the hallways were quiet. The yellow sash slaves were preparing lunch for the prime alpha.
I opened the door of the library and slipped in. I quickly locked the door and ran to the shelve at the far end of the room that held romance books. I picked one and looked for where to sit. The only chair here was the alphas and I couldn't risk sitting there. There was an open space behind a shelf with a single couch and a table. A cabinet holding what I presumed to be liquor stood at one end and a window. I peeped through the window and saw three men discussing. As a half-breed I couldn't hear what they were saying but they looked like they were in deep discussion. One of the men looked up at the window I was standing out and I moved away immediately. I quickly ran out of the library and back to my bunk.
***************************************************
It has been four days since the incident at the library. Nobody mentioned anything about a girl in the library and so I continued to go there everyday for the last three days and I made a mental note to avoid the window. I lay on the couch with a new book in my hands. I've lost count of the number of books I've read so far but I made sure to keep them back exactly as I had seen them. Fear gripped me at the sound of the doors opening. I stood up quickly and went to a corner to hide. From the voices I knew they were men and one seemed to be extremely pissed.
"Don't fucking tell me that. I gave you a fucking instruction and you disobeyed" man one yelled
"I'm sorry man. I was a bit occupied with Nala. You know how this things are" man two said. A loud powerful growl was heard.
"I'm sorry alpha" oh my fucking goddess. The alpha. I swear my blood pressure fucking skyrocketed.
"Sort your shit out as soon as possible. I don't need a distracted second in command"
"I will alpha" the sound of the door opening and closing with a loud bang almost had me sighing in relief. The faint sound of shuffling papers and a loud clang still had me rooted at my spot. Somebody was still in here.
"Come out half breed" oh my goddess. Did he mean me? Was there someone else here?
"NOW" my feet began to move even before I could register the command. I walked out and saw the man from four days ago. He was among the men discussing below the window. The one who looked up.
"Eavesdropping are we?"
"No sir"
"You should really be careful. I saw you the other day you know?." My eyes widened. He had seen me. But why didn't he say a word.
"Others won't ignore you or be forgiving as I am. Especially the king. He would execute you if he found out you spent time here" he held his hand out. "The key" I placed it on his palm. He nodded towards the door. I bowed slightly and left. Once I was in the corridor I ran as fast as my legs could carry me and didn't stop until I was in the slave quarters.
I was panting as I entered my room. A few of the girls sat talking but as soon as I entered their eyes turned to me.
"Why are you panting like you just ran a marathon" Fiona asked. I had learnt their names but we really didn't talk much.
"Nothing. Just thought I should run a bit" they returned back to their conversation as I sat on my bed. Althea wasn't back from her duties yet. I was thankful that I wasn't punished and on the other hand, vexed that I couldn't use the library anymore. I'll have to wait until I was assigned to the library next time but I don't think that'll be happening anytime soon.
I heaved a sigh of relief and collapsed on my bed. Whoever that was, he was powerful and I didn't want to disobey. I was going to avoid punishment and preserve my life by staying away from the library.
Yesterday night was a disaster. The king was angry about something so his room was completely thrashed. I wasn't supposed to be here but there was a slight change in the cleaning table and of all days I happened to get the king's room today. I had to strip the bed, send the sheets to laundry, put new sheets and clear the floor. Men had come earlier to remove the heavier items the king had destroyed. I moved to the bathroom to clean and was distracted by the fancy bathroom the king had. As I was admiring the shower with my eyes and my hands, the shower began to spray me. Uh oh.. I didn't know where I had touched to put on the shower. I was a goner. The shower stopped suddenly and that was when I felt a presence behind me. I cleaned my face and looked up into eyes as black as the night. I was too busy looking at his eyes I didn't notice his hands had grabbed my upper arm. He pulled me out of the bathr
I woke up to see Matilda, a blue dress leaning over me. I felt disoriented as I woke up. Everything was too bright, too loud and I felt energised. My ankle was completely healed and the bruises on my arm were gone too. I felt completely different. Must be the Lycan blood."The matron wants to see you""Me?""Yes. She is in the kitchen."I grabbed my red dress from where I left it to dry and donned it. I followed the blue dress out of our quarters and into the kitchen. The matron was issuing orders and checking the different meals that were prepared. She glanced in my direction and motioned for me to come forward. I walked to were she stood and she looked me up and down."I received orders abov
He licked one more time and I winced and pushed his head away. "I'm sensitive" I sat up and blushed as I remembered how loud I had been. The whole castle must have probably heard me."They can't. This room is soundproof." Could he hear my thoughts? He nodded. He pulled me onto his laps and lowered me until my knees reached the marble floor. I reached for his slacks and unbuttoned. I reached into his briefs and pulled out his cock. I had never done this before but I heard a few girls talking about it. I gasped as I held it in my hands, it was hard and hot. The bulbous head looked purple and his tip glistened with pre cum I began to stroke my hands up and down his cock. I stroked from base to tip and squeezed the head gently. The sounds Thane was making encouraged me and I placed my lips around the head and began to suck.He grabbed my hair and pushed me down until he
I woke up cranky the next morning. I didn't get enough sleep last night and my back ached from the way I slept. Untop of it all, I got my period today and my stomach cramped badly. I slept in a bit late this morning so I missed breakfast. I took cleaning supplies and headed to the king's room. I knocked and opened. A naked girl lay sprawled on the bed. Great. Now I was pissed. She got up and yawned as she picked her yellow dress from the floor. I thought the king hated half-breeds but here he was fucking all half-breeds within the perimeter.I smiled sweetly at her as she exited the room. I stripped the bedsheet with anger and tossed them on the floor. God I wanted to fucking break something. Preferably the king's head. He walked out of the bathroom with sweatpants that hung low on his hips. He sniffed and looked around. I turned away from him and continued cleaning. He strode to me and turned me around.
I haven't seen Thane since he left the hospital. I've been attending to Jairus in his absence."Where is your father?""I'm not sure""How can you not be? Aren't you worried?"Not really. But you seem to be really worried" I scratched the back of my neck."I'm not. He nearly killed me. Remember?" Lies.. I was really bothered. Jairus chuckled.Jairus was different from his father. He was laid back, not so rude, at least not to me. And he smiled more. He was a whole lot nicer to me than his father ever was. Today, after I was through with cleaning the king's study and his room. I wanted to clean Jairus's room but he declined. He in
I woke up on a bed, face down. Extreme pain travelled down my back as I tried to stand. A firm hand pushed me back gently. I was turned around gently until my back rested on the bed. I took in the unfamiliar room. Kyros loomed over me, a small bottle with red liquid in his hands and a gentle smile on his face. I smiled back at him.He lifted my head gently and poured the substance down my throat. It tasted bitter. As soon as I swallowed, an intense burning started from my stomach upwards to my throat. I clutched my stomach as pain erupted. I screamed loudly. Hands gripped me firmly as I doubled over and threw up. Thick blood poured out of my mouth. The hands holding me left me and I felt the prick of a needle. The pain diminished gradually until I lost sense of my surroundings.I woke up with a pounding head and a dry throat. Two men were talking.
"Come in" Thane called out. Kyros stepped in. Jairus cleaned his mouth, giving me a smile and nodded at Kyros as he left."My king" he bowed his head in greeting."What do you want?""I came to seek your permission on behalf of Esme." he looked between us."Whatever for?""She wants to volunteer at the infirmary""No" my heart sank."My king...."Thane interrupted him "If that is all you may leave now." Kyros looked like he wanted to say more but he turned and left.I was fuming in anger. I angrily packed the dishes and stormed out of the room. My anger reduced before I entered the study again."Would you be needing anything your highness?" I prayed he heard the venom dripping from my voice. He looked at me for a bit and pointed to the couch."Go lay down."he looked back at his desk.
It's been a month since I began working at the infirmary and I've managed not to get caught. Lily has been transferred full time to the infirmary so I get to see her a lot. Kyros on the other hand has been extremely sweet and nice to me. But he didn't make me feel the way Thane did. He didn't make my heart flutter or beat wildly. I didn't feel sparks whenever we touched.He took be to a clearing today with a small stream. We sat with our feet in the water throwing stones."Have you ever thought of having a mate?" I nodded."A couple of times. But I wouldn't be able to feel the bond until I'm bitten." I laughed bitterly. "I'm not sure my mate would even want me.""Don't say that. You are a wonderful person." I smiled at him.
