The Forced Maiden For The Cursed Alpha King by Josephine Ivy

Chapter 202 Chapter 202 Sabrina's POV: 50) The king stepped over the man's unconscious form and scoopedinto his arms. Ile heldfor a few seconds, his hands running up and down my back, his chin rested on my crown. I hugged him back, trembling as my mind conjured up situations of what would have happened if he didn't findin time.

My skin crawled and I tried not to think of the terrible fate 1 would have suffered in Caldan's hands. Thank the goddess that will never happen. I don't think my mind can handle it at all.

The king pulled back and held my face, searching for any injuries. "Is everything okay? Did he hurt you anywhere?" His thumb stroked my cheek and I leaned into him.

I shook my head. "Thank you...you saved me." He sighed softly, his shoulders relaxing. "I will always save you. A hundred times over." I don't know why that made tears rush to my eyes. For the first tin my life, someone stood up for me. Someone fought for me.

He did it.

"Back there," I said, referring to the ballroom. "Thank you for that too. But....you didn't have to do that. No one had ever stood up forbefore." "Then I'm glad to be the first. And from now on, I will continue to do that. Double what you saw tonight. Triple, even." I laughed to myself and wiped my eyes. "That's a big promise." He took my hands and gently lowered them from my face. "Have I ever failed a promise?" He asked, his eyes soft and kind.

"Never," "Good. Are you ready, we still have a party to attend to." "Of course, let's head back. They must be missing us." O We headed back to the ballroom and rejoined the sea of bodies as if nothing had happened, and there wasn't an unconscious man in the bathroom. The party was still in full swing, and once we were out of that situation, I wanted to get right back into it.

"Darling," The king whispered in my ear. "Would you excusefor moment, I need to talk to someone.” I nodded and rose on my tip toes to kiss his cheek. “You're excused," He flasheda cocky smile. "What a tease you are." He said. Then he walked up to an alpha and said something to him.

I recognized him, he was the host of the ball. Alpha Trevor, if I remember correctly.

After a while of their conversation, the king walked to the elevated platform where the musicians played their music.

"May I have your attention," He said, his voice carrying raw power and authority. The conversations cto a hush and all eyes turned to him. "Thank you. I am here on behalf of our generous King, the alpha of alphas." I covered my smile with my fingers. Oh this is delicious. The fact that he and I are the only ones in this room that know that he is actually the alpha of alphas.

1/4 Tue, Apr Chapter 202 77% "Unfortunately, he was unable to make it today for reasons I am not worthy of knowing. However, he has sent his message through me." A message? Hold on, I didn't know about this.

"There will a ball at his residence in a few weeks. Preparations are underway and invitations will soon be sent out individually." A ball?! At the castle?! Oh my...this promises to be so much fun! A round of applause rose from the crowd, followed by excited whispers.

+50 The king turned and his eyes met mine. "I would also love to use this opportunity to tell you about how much my woman means to me" I gasped my eyes going wide with shock. All eyes turned to me, and I suddenly felt very shy and embarrassed. "She may not know it, but having her in my life has been the best thing to happen to me. The moon goddess truly smiled upon her. And in turn, she graces my life with her smile." My cheeks began to hurt from how much I was smiling. Choruses of "awww, how sweet." Filled the air, and I ignored them all and focused my attention on the king.

"She is a woman that I would give my life a thousand times over if it meant she would be happy. And as you all saw tonight, I do not joke when it comes to her." I couldn't stop myself from swooning. Oh my gosh! I thought this kind of things only happened in romance books and never in real life.

Our eyes met, and in that moment, it was just the two of us in this massive ballroom.

I blew him a kiss and he winked at me. I was sure my cheeks were redder than a fully ripe tomato.

"That would be all. I look forward to seeing sof you at the ball soon. Have a wonderful evening." The crowd erupted in cheers and thunderous claps. He graciously bowed and stepped off the stage. The moment he stepped down, he was approached by a group of five alphas. I sighed softly. I had wanted to walk up to him and kiss him right here right now.

"I didn't know you were capable of such facial expressions." A smooth voice said behind me.

My spine went rigid and I froze. That voice...I knew it.

"Hello, Sue." A man walked out from behind me. I recognized him instantly. The smile, the golden eyes like that of a mountain cat.

"Alpha Devon," I said. “Good evening." "Turns out your nis Sabrina,” He said, his eyes sweeping over my form. "I knew you were lying when you said you no relationship with the alpha of alphas. Would you look at that. He just made a speech for you. How utterly romantic." My stomach flipped and I chewed on my inner cheek. I turned to leave and he grabbed my arm.

had "It's alright." He said. "I'm not here to cause trouble. And I'm also not here for you." I drew my arm back and glared at him. "Well now you know the truth. Big deal." "Sabrina, I'm not your enemy. I never intended for one day to harm you. You are not who my fight is with." 2/4 16:31 Tue, 1 Apr AA.

Chapter 202 "Is that so? And yet you imprisonedand forcedto-" 77% 450 "The only reason shat happened was because you reeked of him. And honestly, if you weren't associated with him, despite you lying to my face countless times, I would have let you go." "So you're saying it's my fault?" "No. I'm saying it's your boyfriend's fault. He's the one I have business with. And it's sad you had to get caught between it. You didn't deserve that." I scoffed at his ill mannered attempt at an apology. "What do you mean you have business with him?” Devon sighed. He looked ahead ofat the king and his eyes hardened. "He betrayed me. And he will pay for it." My heart sank. "What did he do? What betrayal?" Devon met my eyes and smirked deviously. "Why don't you ask him yourself? I'm sure he'll love to tell you the story." "But- He waved, walking backwards. "Have a lovely evening, Sue," with that, he vanished into the crowd.

I inhaled sharply, trying to understand what just happened.

The king betrayed him? How? And how long ago was that? A few years at most, no. It can't be. Devon doesn't look that old...

I sighed.

The king doesn't look that old either.

What could have possibly happened between them? And how I ask the king? Do I walk up to him and go “did you know a Devon, your majesty? Did you have a fight with him?" That's silly. I bet he has met countless of Devon's in his lifetime. What's going to make this one special. "Sabrina." A voice hissed. I rolled my eyes and groaned, mentally dreading the conversation I was about to have. I turned to Iris. "Yes?" I snapped.

She glared at me, her eyes shining with hatred and jealousy. "Don't kid yourself, Sabrina. You must think you're something special huh?" I raised a brow. "What the fuck are you talking about?" "So because your stand in manwhore made scringy little speech about you, you're blushing and thinning you're what now? A princess?" "Manwhore?" I burst out laughing. "My goodness Iris, look how far you've fallen."

"He must have been paid to say those things." She hissed.

right, you Nissed. "Oh that's What't even have any money.

What did you give him huh? Sex? You're not even good in bed.". I nodded. "Mmhm" "He don't lying. He doesn't mean any of this weird. There's no way anyone will feel that way about you. So don't let your head swell up. You're not all that." "You're jealous," I said with a sweet smile. "Jealous of me, jealous of him. Aww, so cute." 3/4 Tue, 1 Apr Chapter 202 "Jealous of you?!" She scoffed bitterly. "Like you have anything I could ever want! Take a look in a mirror, Sabrina, Even a blind slut won't be jealous of you." "Baby?" I heard Zayn call out. Iris latched onto him and pulled him close.

Right before my eyes, she kissed him, her eyes focused on me.

Disgust rose in my belly and I felt the urge to throw up all the drinks I had downed.

She pulled back with a triumphant smirk. "That hurt, didn't it? No matter what, you'll always be hung on Zayn.

But sadly, he doesn't want you anymore."

"And you better warn that fucking stand in to watch his back." Zayn spat at me, forcing bravado even though I knew that he was nothing but a spineless coward. "I will make sure I deal with him." I stared at the both of them. Iris clinging to his arm, smiling like secured the catch of the century. And him, holding her waist and feeling proud.

I recalled those images that passed through my mind when I touched her arm.

It madelaugh.

And I decided that I was done playing nice and sweet Sabrina.

They can burn in hell for all I fucking care.

"You should worry about something else, Zayn dear. Worry about the fact that your pretty little girlfriend has been lying to you and is only using you for your position in the pack." 4/4 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
