JASMINE’S POV
What I had seen could have killed me. My head was on a plate; worst of all, they knew I had seen them together.
I hurried out of the room and attempted to go on my way.
"Wait!" A masculine voice called when I had barely left the queen’s bedroom.
I stopped short.
My heart was beating so fast. It was like I would have a heart attack.
I slowly turned around and saw the king walk up to me.
I swallowed heavily; my entire body was reverting in fear.
Then I heard his footsteps stop behind me.
"Turn around," he instructed.
I did as he said and came face to face with him.
I heard a soft gasp from him, and he instinctively stepped away from me.
He seemed dumbstruck, and then he recovered. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"What’s your name?" He asked me.
"Jasmine," I said quietly, and then I curtsied. "Your majesty."
He just looked me over and said, "Who are your parents, and how long have you lived here?"
I wondered why he was asking such personal questions.
And then I remembered that he had never seen me.
Although I had seen him without a number when I would pass by, he had never noticed me.
I had already gotten used to the fact that I reminded all royal family members of their long-lost daughter.
Which was impossible because she would be in her late thirties by now.
"I’m the daughter of Alpha Bale, Your Majesty," I said, my eyes downcast.
It seemed that that piece of information had made his tensions relax.
Then he sniffed around me, and I knew he smelled my bloodline.
"So you’re a slave." He told me.
I nodded slightly. "Yes, Your Majesty."
He cleared his throat. "What you thought you saw, you did not see. Do you understand me?"
I nodded quickly.
"If you utter a single word of what you thought, you saw." He started. "Then you would cease to live. I would say goodbye to everyone you’ve ever known or encountered. Do I make myself clear?"
I nodded. "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Your father has already put me in peril with Xaden. Push me further, and I might unleash the hate everyone else has for you on you. And mind you, I am king."
He progressed towards me, and with reasonable fear, I took steps back.
His entire demeanor was filled with pride, royalty, and then domination.
It wasn’t like Xaden; this was a mix of true royalty.
"I would make you suffer more than Xaden has." He said. "Do you understand me?"
I nodded hastily.
"Yes, Your Majesty," I said.
At that moment, none other than the Queen stepped up to us.
