Chapter 32

|| CEDRIC'S POV ||

My rage was maddening. I was one step away from the shape of my dragon form. King Austin clicked his tongue out. He rubbed his chin before telling me,

" Cedric! It's just a slave. We can share many."

I almost punched his face as he commented on her. Resisting the urge to kill him, I opened my mouth to speak when Vanessa's voice came out softly,

" He is telling the truth, my king. I am your slave and I can serve anyone."

She spoke and lifted her eyes to meet mine. Her eyes were teary and I saw the broken pieces of her soul there. I couldn't control my words anymore. I spoke to everyone through my gritted teeth,

" SHE IS NO SLAVE! SHE IS A LUNA. WE CAN'T TREAT HER LIKE THAT."

Even though her scum mate failed to give her respect, I didn't forget that she deserved respect from everyone. Vanessa looked up at me shocked. She pressed her lips together and said nothing. My godmother stepped between angrily, her voice barely audible to me,

" CEDRIC! You are uplifting the werewolves. You can't tell your people to respect her. Let the girl go. You can keep a Royal slave if you want."

Royal slave!

I have never considered this option so far. It was only the Royal slave that had the honor to stay in my control. King Austin spoke again, his voice sounding sharp as he eyed Vanessa from head to toe,

" Oh no, Cedric! Just give her to me! I will teach her a lesson."

My blood boiled more as I heard his remark. I knew his lifestyle too well. He had a fascination with dominating his slaves. I clenched my fists together to control my anger. My godmother spoke again in a little angry voice,

" CEDRIC! They are waiting for your decision. Don't be a fool to favor a werewolf."

I looked at Vanessa again as she kept her head down. Her expression said that she was no longer believing in this world. She was ready to face the humiliation that everyone was throwing at her. I couldn't hold back anymore. Stepping down the stairs, I walked over to her and held her hand up in the air, shocking the whole crowd. They all gasped together and stared at me. I spoke, my voice echoing in the air,

" Since only Royal slaves can't be sold again, I, Cedric Mavros, taking Vanessa Caldwell as my Royal Slave to serve me in my good and bad times."

There was a thick silence after the announcement that I made. As the king of the dragons, I broke my rules for the first time for the woman that I hated the most. My godmother reacted badly. She rushed to me, infuriated with my decision,

" CEDRIC! What the hell are you doing? You are damaging my image."

I ignored her banter and pulled Vanessa forward, her eyes staying on me freezing. I didn't know anything good or bad. All that I knew was that I didn't want to see her suffering under a new owner of her. Everyone whispered but no one dared to speak a single word. Godmother left the altar angrily as she glared at Vanessa one last time.

I announced one last time, dragging Vanessa out of the crowd,

" The auction is over. You all are dismissed."

|| VANESSA'S POV ||

" Everyone is calling you queen, Vanessa. Have you heard it?"

" The king has broken his words for you. He wasn't supposed to take any Royal Slave."

Their words kept ringing in my head as they adorned me with jewelry. Ever since I walked out of the altar, I was in a daze. I couldn't believe that King Cedric took a stand for me. Even King Austin was mad but King Cedric didn't care for his rage. I heard that even Godmother left the feast angrily. I thought that King Cedric would never oppose his godmother at least.

Now they were preparing me to send me our first night together. I heard from the maids that King Cedric wasn't supposed to take any Royal slave as he was engaged to Tiara. Then why did he make this change for me? Did he feel indebted to me? Or did he pity my condition?

I couldn't think much of that situation as they were already dragging me to the king's chamber. According to the custom, I was going to serve King Cedric in bed tonight. Although we had slept before, I felt a little insecure about everything. Nothing was supposed to happen if I wasn't offered the gift for King Austin.

The door opened and I spotted his massive back, adorned with some long black marks. I looked down as soon as his eyes met mine, his one hand grabbing the wine glass. I kept looking down until his voice resonated in the thin air,

" Kneel, Vanessa."

I wasn't surprised and followed his order, the silence suffocating me. He came close to me and held my chin up, my eyes finally meeting his cold ones,

" Do you know where you belong, Vanessa? Did you forget your way?"

I swallowed hard and remembered the earlier incident. Pulling my courage back, I answered honestly, watching his eyes darken,

" I know my place, Your Majesty! Perhaps it's you who has forgotten everything about us. I am being sold as a slave. I can be sold to anyone and...ahh..."

He squeezed my face so tight that I stopped talking anymore. I could feel the burning anger behind his touch. He spoke through his gritted teeth,

" You were supposed to be here...in my bed..how dare you think of serving another man when your pussy was mine? How dare you imagine fucking another guy?"

I failed to understand if it was his rage or jealousy. But in my head, I couldn't think of anyone except him at this moment. I gulped hard and said nothing. Taking a step backward, I kept my head down until he ordered me in a roaring voice,

" GO BACK AND OPEN YOUR LEGS FOR ME, VANESSA! I want you to open wide on the table."

It was an order for me to show my submission but I was feeling thrilled all over my body. Even with my mate Diego, I never felt the excitement. A part of my mind was yelling that I was doing a sin. Another part of my mind was excited to commit that sin. Putting my debate back, I got up and walked to the table, his eyes following my every move.

Biting my lips together, I crawled up on the table and parted my legs wide. The cold air hit my skin when I pushed my gown up. Even my pussy moistened as soon as our eyes met each other. A moan fought to escape my throat when he gazed into my pussy. I was already dripping wet just by his look.

He stared deep into my eyes until a dragon's groan came through his lips. He crossed the room in no minute and came between my legs, my body turning warm from his touch. I made no sound as he pulled his zipper down, his cock hardening through the clothes.

Without any teasing, he slipped inside me with one single push, my back arching in pleasure. I heard him groaning into my ears, my eyes closing in pleasure,

" You want to get fucked? I will fuck you so hard that you won't ever imagine taking another man inside you, Vanessa.YOU ARE MINE TO FUCK."
