Cursed Bond: Claimed By The Monstrous Alpha Prince [BL] Chapter 21: Getting Help

Lilac

My roommate sat up, eying wearily. "The prince’s wing? What did you look for all the way there, to encounter the assholes there?"

"I was assigned to clean the Prince’s room." I explained while wincing and he tilted his head a little.

"You were? That bastard Henry was behind it?" He asked and I let out a long sigh, stomach still feeling tight from nerves.

"Well, in a way. I was assigned by lady Iris to be among those that would serve him as al. But since Henry was mad at , he sent to go clean his room, and I couldn’t refuse." I explained almost imdiately.

"That bastard Henry." My roommate bit out as he sat up in his bed and I couldn’t agree more. "It’s sad but we aren’t allowed to refuse the orders of the seniors when it cos to the chores distributions." He pointed out while regarding with curious eyes.

"But it’s weird that a newbie like you is assigned to that wing by lady Iris. Usually, newbies start up quite easily." He paused for a mont, eyes narrowing a bit.

"You said the guards there asked you to co back?" He asked and I hurriedly leaned forward while nodding.

"They definitely don’t want to have any stupid conversation with you. They just wanna rape you." He pointed out and I swallowed emptily while nodding again because I kind of figured that out from how they were touching while searching .

"Um..." I clasped my hands before . "Can you help ? Please?"

He remained silent while staring at and my heart pounded away against my ribs.

"I don’t help people." He suddenly blurted out and I flinched, disappointnt rolling through my insides.

He stared at for a mont longer before sighing and dragging his hand over his face. "Don’t look at with those eyes, you might make change my mind." He muttered and I almost apologized before his words replayed in my head.

"I don’t help people. I promised myself I wouldn’t after the last person I did betrayed . He fucking planned with a bunch of people to have my little sister captured and sold. Tell , if you get betrayed this way, would you ever help people?"

My stomach rolled with multiple emotions as I bit on my bottom lip and glanced away. His emotions were valid and I instantly feel bad for asking him to help .

"However, you have eyes that remind of my little sister, and since we’re rooming together and would be around each other a lot, I guess I can help you."

At once, relief coursed through my veins as I stared at him, hands clasped before again.

"Oh my goodness, thank you so, so much!" I cried out, genuinely aning every word. He sighed and rolled his eyes before waving off.

"It’s fine. Stop thanking before I change my mind."

I quickly swallowed the rest of my words and I watched him wearily as he laid over his bed and closed his eyes once again.

"You should probably take a nap too, I take it you’re tired as well?" He said without opening his eyes and that was when fatigue instantly engulfed and I yawned.

"I want to, but I can’t cause I’m still nervous about tonight,"

He shifted in his bed without opening his eyes. "You don’t need to be anymore. I’ll take care of it." He assured that even though I didn’t know a single thing about him, I felt this urge to trust his words and believe them.

"Okay." I muttered as I laid down on my hard bed. My eyes remained open as the monts passed by.

"The na’s Jake." My roommate’s now familiar voice drifted into my ear and I flinched at the unexpectedness because I assud he already fell asleep.

"I’ll wake you once it’s ti. Sleep." His voice filled the room again and this ti, I forced my eyes to slide close.

"Okay."

~~~

I felt hands shaking my shoulders roughly from the middle of my sleep, and on jolting awake, I was t with two faces hovering over mine. Two guys. They were grinning down at and my heart began to pound instantly.

"You our new roommate?" The first one barked and I frowned before I was roughly tugged into a sitting position.

"Since you’re the last to join us; you’ll have to wait on us, and do our personal chores, like help wash our clothes, sheets and so on. You also need to do a whole lot of other things. And you must accord us with respect at all tis."

I blinked as I looked between them, feeling genuinely confused.

"What?"

"It’s the normal protocol of each room. We can punish you in here if we want, there’s no one you can report us to. So it’s best you just don’t make this hard for yourself. Now, I’d like you to wash my–" the second guy was still speaking when Jake appeared behind them and grabbed their throats from behind before squeezing tight and the boys instantly began to cough and struggle.

"None of that bullshit in here, okay? The new kid is my friend so you won’t hurt him or ss with him. Is that clear?"

After he spoke, he loosened his hold and they began coughing while scrambling away. As I stared between them and Jake, I realized that they were terrified of Jake, and it hit that Jake just rescued out of this situation.

"C’mon, let’s go." He said to , already heading for the door and I quickly hurried after him. It was pitch black outside but the moon was bright, and so many slaves were hanging out outside the open field in the middle of our wing.

"Thank you for what you did back there." I said as I struggled to keep up with him because his long legs made him walk really fast.

"That’s nothing." He responded.

"But won’t they hate you? They’re also your roommates..." I muttered and he snorted.

"They were already afraid of anyway and I don’t care." He said as we exited the slave quarter and began to walk all the way to the Prince’s wing. As we walked, I began to get so flashbacks of myself in his room.

When we approached the entrance of the wing, my heart instantly dropped into my stomach as soon as I sighted the guards. They were all drinking and laughing together. I noticeably slowed down from fear of what might happen to tonight if anything goes wrong.

"Relax." Jakes said as if he could read my mind, then he gently took my elbow and led all the way to the front of the guards.

I stiffened as soon as they noticed , and unconsciously, I inched closer to Jake as they all rose to their feet while chuckling as they eyed Jake in an unimpressed way.

"You brought backup along? Why? Because you believe he’d sohow be able to fight us all?" One of the guards drawled and all of them laughed loudly, making flinch and inch closer to Jake.

"Even if he’s strong, he’s still a human at the end of the day he’s definitely no match against one enwulf, not to talk of seven. You must be really stupid to have thought this was a great idea. And for that, you might not even make it to tomorrow morning after we’d get done with your body tonight."
