The Forced Maiden For The Cursed Alpha King by Josephine Ivy

Chapter 187 Sabrina's POV "Done?" I asked.

He took a handful of my hair and toyed with it. "Yes." Was his absentminded reply. I gasped, shocked and completely baffled that he just agreed like that.

"Your majesty." "Yes?" He looked up at me, and then stroked my chin. His touch madeshiver, but I didn't pull back.

"Are you sure? You wantto run the harem?" "Yes. I am sure" "But why did you agree to easily? I mean, it's not a trifle thing to be in charge of the harem. I know how much you care about the girls and you wouldn't just let anyone do it. So why." "I know you'll do a good job." He said, gently cupping the side of my face. I resisted the urge to lean into his touch. "You're kind, and you care about people genuinely. Those girls, they would choose you without a second thought. I've seen how you've helped them, and how you've stood up to Blair multiple times. Even when the odds weren't in your favour." "You know all this?" "What? You think I wouldn't know about what goes on in every inch of this place? I have people watching and reporting to me. And they all tellhow much the girls love you." My cheeks warmed and I smiled to myself. I honestly had no idea I was being watched at all. “That's....pretty cool." “It is,” He said, mirroring my smile. “And of course Blair always talked my ears off about much she hated you. And how you were threatening her place" "This is a very pleasant turn of events for me." I said, trying not to think about what kind of situation he would have to be in with Blair for her to tap his ears off.

I don't care. She's in the past now.

But this is good. Being in charge of the harem would mean I'd wake up each day with a sense of purpose. I'll have something to do. Running the harem is no easy task. Making sure that everyone is cared for and seen and all of that. Plus keeping records of marriages, financial records, making sure no one vanishes overnight. I can already imagine how much work would go into this.

And I feel excited.

"I'm still punishing those women for hurting you." The king said, drawingfrom my thoughts.

"You can punish them, of course. I wasn't against that. The ddi say a lot of mean things about me. What I was against was you killing them." He groaned. "Fine." "And Blair. What will you do to her?" I asked softly.

It wasn't lost onwhat Blair was to him. Even if I chose not to ever think about her, she was a part of his life.

"For Blair, I have something planned." He replied. There was no fondness in his eyes or voice, which madegiddy with 1/4 * 99% Chapter 187 joy.

I inhaled deeply. Since we're on this topic, I might as well ask the questions that's been on my mind.

"Do you know she had expectations of being your Luna?” "Yes." "And you let her think that way for so long?" "Yes. Why would I bother with correcting her delusion? I had better things to do." I bit my inner lip, hiding a small smile. "Will you kill her?" His eyes dazzled. "Do you wantto?" I blinked. "Huh?" He ran his thumb over my lower lip. "Do you wantto kill Blair?" "If I say yes, will you do it?" "Yes. I would." I grabbed his wrist and lowered his hand from my face.

Lady Nifra was right.

"That's quite heartless, your majesty." "I don't care. It's not like I have a heart to begin with" "You don't?" "I didn't." He said and touched my face again. "But then it returned, unexpectedly. Because of you." His voice dipped at the end of his sentence, making my belly erupt into a thousand butterflies. I flushed, suddenly shy under his piercing gaze.

"Stop that," I whispered.

He chuckled to himself, clearly amused. "As for Blair, I'm going to relapse her memories of our ttogether." up I looked and met his eyes.

"That's it?" He sucked. "No. Of course not, that would be too easy a punishment, don't you think?" I nodded.

"After her memories of us are gone, you are free to do whatever like." "Hmm, what should I start with?" "You could return the favour, whip that attitude out of her." I gasped. "Your majesty! What a wicked idea." you But already I could see it taking root in my head. That would be nice. Blair did whip me, and burnwith wax, and set my room on fire. Oh she did a lot of things.

2/4 Tue, 25 Mar Chapter 187 And I don't think one whipping will be enough to satiate my anger. But it's a good starting point The king suddenly pulledinto a hug. "Stay here, I want to hold you. He whispered to me.

"Your majesty, I'm shirtless "You can put the shirt on." I bit my lip. "We should be doing this right now. Matter of fact, I shouldn't even be in your bed. You haven earned it He pulled back, his hand on my shoulders. I held up the shirt covered my chest. "What will 1 have to do to earn it? And beyond just holding you too." I pulled back and got to my feet. “You'll have to find out, your majesty,” I turned my back to him and pulled my gown back up my shoulders. Giving him one last glance, 1 bowed and walked out.

As I walked back to my room, I wondered if this was actually real.

All of this. Because it looks like an illusion trick. But either way, by tomorrow, I'll have a full tjob.

By evening, I was summoned to a meeting. The king, Lady Nifra and Lord Acheron were present in the King's study.

The moment I walked in, my mind drifted to the times the king and I made out here. And the most recent one, right before lord Acheron blew my cover. He stared right atas if he could read my thoughts. I decided to simply ignore him After greetings we all got settled down.

Lady Nifra spoke up first. "Sabrina used her powers today." She announced.

"Interesting." Lord Acheron said.

"This means that the shield preventing her from using her gifts are mental and not magic. So I will help her master her gifts, starting tomorrow." She said the last part and turned to me.

My heart fluttered with excitement. "Thank you, lady Nifra. I can't wait to learn from you." "I'm sure you'll make an excellent student " the king said towith a smile of pride.

"Thank you, your majesty." I replied with a bow.

"I have interrogated the frozen witch." Lord Acheron said. "And what she said was not funny at all." "You have the floor." The king said.

Lord Acheron sighed. "Caldan's planwas truly diabolical and far more than what we could have imagined. He planned to steal Sabrina's magic, and by doing so becthe most powerful creature in existence." "That sounds horrible." I said.

"There's more." He snapped. "He was going to dethrone you, my king. And then he would rid the earth of every living creature. And unleash the bound gods who have been locked up for centuries. And for good reasons, if these creatures are released, it will be hell." I gasped. Lady Nifra gasped. I turned to the king, even he was shocked.

For seconds, a chilly silence reigned between us.

3/4 09:42 Tue, 25 Mar AA Chapter 187 "It's worse than we thought." Lord Acheron said. “We have our work cut out for us now. And tomorrow, my king, your training withwill begin." "Training?" Tire long asked "what for? Sabrina is the one who clearly needs help honing her powers," 99% 45 "My king, you can do so much more than cheap magic tricks. Teleportation, mind control, those are nothing compared to the true extent of your abilities. Thanks to your curse." Wait. So this isn't even the king at full capacity?! "Acheron, now is not the tfor jokes."

"I'm not joking. A long tago, I all then offered to help you unlock of your abilities that arose a curse, but back then, you were clearly preoccupied with being depressed." The king scoffed. "Tellabout it." "If I'm being correct, which I am, your curse has accelerated. And this means that your magic has in turn increased. Right now you should be able to do a lot of things." "Like?" The king asked.

"Like making yourself immune to the stupid magic that witch used on you last night. You should be able to counter it by now." "He could be right," Lady Nifra said.

Lord Acheron turned to her with a cocky smirk. "I am right. I'm always right." She rolled her eyes and scoffed. "Narcissist.” Lord Acheron laughed. "Guilty as charged." "That's enough." The king said. "We will all get to work tomorrow. We all need to be prepared for Caldan" "Yes, your majesty." We all said.

Lady Nifra and lord Acheron rose and left, leaving I and the king behind.

"Are you hungry?" He asked me, his gaze tender.

"Yes." "Come," He said, rising to his feet and extending his hand for me. “I have something to show you." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
