The Alpha King's Hated Slave
The Alpha King’s Hated Slave Chapter 75

It’s the early hours of morning when Danika suddenly screamed.

King Lucien was in the library when he heard the loud-piercing scream.

It came again. Followed by the ruffle of bedsheets.

He walked in steady strides out of the inner room to see Danika screaming and thrashing on the bed. Her eyes was squeezed tightly shut, sweat poured from her body and her breathing was erratic.

“No….! Noooo, Baski please….! I have to save Sally! No…please! I can’t leave her to t-them…!” She cried out.

King Lucien watched with a furrow of his brows. She’s having a nightmare. Her mind is trapped in the events of her introduction day at the courtroom.

“No…you d-don’t understand, they will kill her….! They hate me so much, t-they will kill Sally, because they…think…she is…me…!” She sobbed in her sleep.

As she lived that horrible moment all over again in her sleep, a crack from the ice-wall King Lucien built around his cold heart fell away.

King Lucien watched the way she cried her heart out, thrashing around. Pained screams emitted from her throat.

And he asked himself….

How could he have possibly ever thought that she might be a devil pretending to be an angel?

***********

Chad closed his eyes against the wave of shame and pain. This is the reason he’s been doing his best not to think about the girl since he found himself getting attracted to her.

He did his best to ignore that attraction, to make sure it doesn’t grow and after he saw her when those kings brutalized her, he was more adamant to kill that attraction more than ever. All because of this.

His heart squeezed in his chest. “How is she?”

“She is scared out of her mind.” Baski said pitifully.

He closed his eyes against the wave of pain.

She walked closer and placed her hand on his arm. “You don’t have to feel so bad about this… All you have to do is to explain to her in the light of the day—-“

“There is no explaining something like this, Baski. There is no explaining that I took advantage of her and manhandled her the same way those kings did.”

“No. Don’t even try to compare this with their brutality! You weren’t aware! And you didn’t force your body inside her! Don’t be too hard on yourself!” She chided him.

He only inclined his head in respect to her, and walked out of the bathroom with his body dripping wet.

Sally huddled under the cover, looking so small and terrified out of her mind. She whimpered and recoiled from him as he walked out.

The sound of fear and movement from her killed something in him. His chest burning, he bowed his head to her in apology.

“I’m so sorry, Miss Sally.” He turned and walked out of the door. He can’t risk scaring her more.

Sally’s mind was clouded in the memories of her horror in the courtroom, and somehow the sound of Chad’s faraway voice soothed her.

But it didn’t stop the deep-rooted fear and terror.

It was a long time later before Baski was able to induce Sally back to sleep with sleeping portions.

Danika was still thrashing on the bed and screaming, saying words and words about the courtroom.

As King Lucien watched her, it took him back to that day at the courtroom. That very day Sally had screamed her heart out. He couldn’t help remembering the way it all affected his woman lying on his bed.

She’d screamed at every agonizing scream of her former personal maid. She’d cried every cry. She’d hurt so much that she came to him for the first time. She’d hurt so much,she chose a physical pain as an escape from the emotional pain.

He was frowning really hard in thought. When she started sobbing, he was forced to move.

He walked towards her and sat down on the bed. “Stop it. It’s just a nightmare.” He spoke calmly.

“Oh… stop whipping me…. I d-did nothing wrong… Stop! Stop…! It hurts…!” She cried thrashing her head from side to side.

Now, her subconscious is replaying the torture session from Vetta.

“Danika. Wake up.” He commanded again.

It didn’t work. She only cried.

Then, he placed a hand on her arm with every intention of shaking her awake, but as his hand touched her she stilled her struggles and stopped crying.

Instead, she curled her body around his arm and settled back into sleep.

His brows furrowed further as he watched this development. She was gripping his body hard, her body relaxed into sleep.

He kept still and was forced to watch her as she slept. His eyes took in her features. The long lashes of her eyes, the beautiful pale white skin, the bow of her mouth and pointiness of her nose.

He didn’t know how long he watched her until finally, he was able to quietly pull his arm from her body.

Also, he made a mental note to summon her personal maid tomorrow. It’s high time, he does that.
