Chapter 7 Chapter 6
Evelyn.
"My name is Evelyn Nightshade. I'm glad to meet you."
"I know who you are, Princess Evelyn. I've heard a lot about you."
"Please don't call me that. I do not have the rights to that anymore. I am now a slave to the Alpha King, and he would not like the name on your lips," I told her, saying the last bit slightly angrily. She just shook her head, holding my hands.
"Don't say that. You're still a princess. You have always been my role model ever since I heard you were the Queen's sister."
The confession made my heart swell, and I smiled at Amaris. "Thank you so much for this, Amaris. Your words mean a lot to me."
"I'm glad, your highness," she replied.
"By the way, your name sounds familiar as well," I said. She nodded, her cheeks flushing. "That's because I'm a duke's daughter," she said, tucking her hair behind her ears.
"A Duke's daughter? What are you doing here then?"
"I was rejected by a mate four moons ago because I was wolfless. So I ran away from home and became a maid here." She announced.
"What!? That's incredulous. Who was it that rejected you?"
"Duke Ethan Ravenwood," she revealed, her voice coated with sadness and pain.
"Oh... I know him," I muttered, gazing at her tenderly.
"He was supposed to be my mate, but he rejected me."
"I'm sorry about that."
"I'm fine, though. It hurt at the time, but I'm living with it. Things happen. I hear you were accused of killing the queen."
My heart dropped at the question. "Yes, I was."
She leaned closer to me, lowering her voice. "Is it... Is it true though?"
"No, it is not. I could never do such a thing to my sister," I stated, my voice filled with certainty. "Unfortunately, no one believes me."
"I believe you," she hurriedly said, holding my hands. It made me immensely pleased, and tears filled my eyes, which I immediately blinked back.
"Thank you so much, Amaris," I told her, and she smiled at me. "Unfortunately, I have to get back to work. If I don't finish quickly, I might get punished."
"Let me help you then, princess," she offered, rising to her feet, pulling me with her. "I have nothing I'm doing anyway, and you have sprained your ankle. It would make you a lot slower," she said.
"I don't think it would be necessary. I can manage fine on my own," I told her, but she shook her head vehemently.
"I insist, princess. I don't want to leave you alone," she said, her voice resolute.
"In that case, I can no longer refuse. Let's go together," I told her, and we chuckled. She guided me back to the spot where I was washing and joined me. For the first time since my sentence and my sister's death, I felt true joy in having someone to keep me company. Amaris helped me throughout the day, following me to the mines and helping me till the ground as well.
Once the day ended, she bid me goodbye with a warm smile, and she went to her quarters, and I retired to mine. After freshening up, it was time to face the dreaded meeting with the king once again. I really didn't want to go there, but I had no choice in the matter. If I didn't go, I knew I would be punished, and I had barely recovered from the ones I had received earlier. With a heavy heart, I picked myself up, wincing as I limped to his opulent chambers where he would be waiting.
Knocking a couple of times, the anticipation seemed to stretch the seconds before he finally answered, his voice sounding somewhat unusual. Without thinking too much of it, I cautiously entered his grand chambers, closing the heavy door behind me. As I moved further in, the soft sound of muffled moans reached my ears, confusing me. I lowered myself to my knees, hesitating for a moment before looking up, and what I saw shocked me even more.
Behind the Alpha King's desk, was Mistress Morticia, on her knees in between his legs, pleasuring him with her mouth. My blood ran cold at the sight, and all the color drained from my face.
What the hell am I watching?
Erotic sounds of pleasure filled the chambers as morticia bobbed her head up and down the Alpha king's dick, her hums of pleasure mingling with the kings grunts as well. Squeezing my clothes in embarrassment, I glared at the king who watches me with narrowed eyes as morticia drove him to the brink of pleasure. In one swift move, he pulls out of her mouth, spilling his seed in her face, while some landed on her exposed breasts.
Morticia chuckled, swallowing as she cleaned off his release on her face, letting out a sigh afterwards.
"Did I please you, My king?" She asked in a hoarse voice, standing to her feet. He nodded once, tucking himself into his clothes.
"You're dismissed." He growls, his voice impassive.
"As you wish, your Majesty." Morticia said and nodded, arranging her clothes so she looked presentable before making her way out of the Alpha king's chambers. On her way out however, she casted a snide glance at me and I returned it with equal fervor, my malice for her multiplying. She rolled her eyes, walking out the door and closing the huge chamber doors behind her, leaving me alone with the king.
That bitch has always tormented my sister, Elisabeth because she was the alpha king's mistress. I still don't know why he keeps her. Maybe because he is stupid, I missed to myself before glancing at him once more.
"You summoned me, Your Majesty." I mutter after a moment of silence, keeping my head bowed. Alone with this monster, I'm suddenly afraid of what he'll do to me this time around. I still haven't recovered from his last assualts.
"Come here. On your knees." He ordered and grimacing, I began to crawl to him on my knees. It hurts, but I put on a brave face as I reach him. Sparing me a glance, he picked up a scroll and started to work, inking a feather and scribbling things on the scroll. We stayed like that, in complete silence and I watched him work, still wondering what he has in store for me.
After a while, he stopped completely and glared at me, his lips pressed into a thin line. "You saw what she did, didn't you?" Alpha Keiran asked and after a moment of hesitation, I nodded.
"Replicate it." He ordered. I glanced at him, taken aback. Biting my lower lips, I looked away, feeling my face burn with embarrassment.
"I-i don't know how to." I stuttered out, gulping nervously. The temperature in the rooms dropped multiple degrees as silence descends, I feel sweat trickling down my back but I steeled myself, glaring at the floor.
"Get here right now and do what I asked you to do!" He growled and I flinched on my knees.
