Cursed Bond: Claimed By The Monstrous Alpha Prince [BL] Chapter 46: Tense

Lilac

After the grand king left, I let out a relieved sigh. After a few seconds, I asked myself what I was relieved about because now that I’d have to be reporting to him while also having the Prince’s butler watching and giving near impossible tasks, it was clear as day that my life had just gotten much more worse than it previously was.

The two ssengers were still present even after the grand king left. Jared and Nikolai. I rembered their nas from the last ti, and I rember begging them desperately to not throw to the beast that night, but they did just that, showing how cruel they both were. I hated them so much, they were the ones who bought from my uncle like a fucking object, they’re the reason my entire life got ruined, and of opportuned, I’d make life a living hell for the two of them.

"I can’t believe you’re alive." Nikolai finally said, breaking the silence. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, feeling beyond irritated. I wanted to snap at Nikolai right now, to demand that he don’t question , but of course I was still the weak one in this situation and would still have to answer to him.

"Did you really not know how you survived?" He continued and I shook my head. His partner, Jared who is the silent and aner one, scoffed at that mont.

"It doesn’t matter since he’d die soon anyway. Soone as pretty as him can’t survive in a place like this palace where so many hungry n would undoubtedly sink their claws into him."

I shuddered at those words, my mind traveling to what went down in Prince Vlad’s bedroom about an hour ago. I still felt so disgusted with myself and the fact that he forced to swallow his essence up.

"Anyways, for your own good, kid, do not step out of line. As you already figured out, the grand king is very cruel. He can snap your throat right now if he deems you useless to him, which is why you must always make sure that he’s still seeing you as sothing useful." Jared said this ti, surprising and even a surprised looking Nikolai.

"Is that why you two always do whatever he asks you to and also say whatever you believe he’d want to hear, because you also want to always appear useful to him?"

I asked those words before I could stop myself. I slapped a hand over my mouth, realizing that I might have over spoken. Jared looked furious even though half of his Face is presently covered by a nose mask, he seems to always hand his face covered at all tis.

"Do not question us, and don’t forget your place." Jared responded coldly and I sighed as I reluctantly nodded. Nikolai stepped close to Jared and whispered sothing to him. I didn’t know what it was, but Jared had an unreadable expression on when he focused on this ti.

"Yes, you’re right. Just like you said: we constantly have to do whatever is asked of us. We’re in no place to question anyone in power here or refuse to carry out an order. So, yes, you’re right." Nikolai spoke this ti right before he crouched before .

"So, I was wondering— since we’re pretty much in the sa predicant, why don’t we join forces smf work together?" He asked and I instantly stiffened as I glanced between the two n.

"Um..." I began but trailed off because I wanted to be clear with my answer. They were offering to work together with , but the clear fact that they’re on a higher hierarchy than myself clearly ans that I’d be outmatched in this union.

They could choose to do anything to at any given mont and I wouldn’t be able to do a thing about it because to everyone here I was nothing but a fucking slave. Besides, I couldn’t trust these two anyway. It would be stupid to trust people that thoroughly beat up and threw into the confinent of the beast that wretched night.

Which was why I shook my head as I got to my feet. "I’m sorry but I can’t do it. I don’t want to work with anyone."

Nikolai nodded while Jared just turned away from .

"We understand and respect your decision."

When I got back to the slave quarters, Jake opened the door for after knocking. It was like he could read perfectly because his eyes instantly widened as he looked up and down.

"What happened?"

It was like a dam broke within because I burst into tears at once, just as he pulled into the room, closed the door, then pulled into his arms.

That evening, the brown haired guy— nad Damien? ca to summon .

I thought it was because he wanted to take to the Prince’s butler. But instead, we just kept walking and walking while being asked questions after questions that had nothing to do about the task they gave , and was more about my personal life. Real personal questions that were starting to make uncomfortable as it got worse.

"Why haven’t you had sex before?" He asked right after I told him I hadn’t slept with anyone yet.

"I- I don’t know, I don’t want to yet." I responded awkwardly while my cheeks felt hot.

"Are you curious about how it feels?" He asked and I shook my head.

"I don’t."

"That’s boring. And I guess I was wrong to have assud you were a slut after you told you didn’t know the na of the person that gave you that bite. You’re not a slut at all, you’re still untouched, which makes you much more... alluring,"

I felt more awkward and uncomfortable and I wished he’d stop talking about this topic already.

He faced as he spoke this ti.

"What do you think of having sex with ?"

My eyes bulged out of my eye sockets as I gaped at him. He grinned as he stepped closer to and I stepped backwards, feeling extrely scared and weirded out.

"I- I don’t want that." I whispered and at once, but he only rolled his eyes, then he stepped even closer to lay a hand over my shoulder that made flinch.

"Think about it and give a response in three days."
