Sebastian moved and stretched his body as he tightened his grip on the pillow. It was the first time that a pillow fit perfectly in his arms and it smelled nice too.
He inhaled deeply burying his face in it while his hands moved up.
Suddenly he stopped as he touched something soft.
"Huh?"
He gently squeezed it trying to figure out what it was and why it felt so nice. Opening one eye and lifting his head, he froze at his place.
The human princess was sleeping in his arms and his hand was on her chest.
In a split second, he moved away from her as he stared at her in utter shock. He just touched her in a very inappropriate way and suddenly his ears turned red.
Sebastian jumped out of the bed and ran to the bathroom. He splashed cold water on his face not knowing how to react in this situation.
She was still sleeping so it was not that she knew what happened.
After sometime and calming himself down, he came out and found Saya sitting in the bed while her hands were in front of her chest. She was in deep thoughts making Yifang gulp.
"What happened?"
He was going to act as if nothing happened.
"Nothing.
My wrist still hurts."
Saya replied as she rubbed her wrist while Sebastian nodded and was quick to leave the room.
Saya pressed her lips. Her body was sore and hurting everywhere. She promised herself she was never going to sleep with this prince ever again who used her like a pillow the whole night.
He was so heavy that she could not free herself from his grip and she also could not sleep properly last night.
Also, she did not know why her right breast was hurting. It better not be cancer.

"What do you say about sending the human to the werewolf?
He had a great deal in return."
The queen of the lycans asked her son who looked in deep thoughts. Sebastian could not shook what happened in the morning. It was first time he touched a woman in his life Because of his curse, he was always careful not to end up in dying but today.....
"Sebastian. "
The queen called him making him come out of his thoughts.
He remembered Saya when she asked him not to send her away. The alpha prince did not has a good impression on her.
"I will think about it."
He rolled his eyes.
"Why not? Her mother killed my brother. It's better if she rot in the hands of werewolves."
Sebastian did not say anything more and got up.
"Sebastian, come back. Where are you going? This boy, he never listens to me."
Sebastian came out of the chamber of the queen and walked towards his room. As he reached near the building, he found Saya talking with his brother.
He squinted his eyes seeing her smiling shyly.
"Is she only knows how to seduce others?" A wave of anger rose inside his heart as she walked towards them. As he reached near them and before he could lash onto her, Saya greeted him with a smile.
She looked too innocent as she put her hands around his arms.
She was trying to get out of the situation but her brother in law was not letting her end the conversation. As she saw Sebastian, she was fast enough to hug his arm trying to show the other man that she belonged to his brother.
The other man took the hint and left while Sebastian glanced at Saya who quickly left his arm.
"I am sorry, prince Sebastian."
She apologized who nodded anyway.
"We can act like a married couple in front of others."
He calmly told her who blinked and then smiled brightly as her cheeks turned red. Saya did not know why but she liked this man a lot.
He was a little arrogant but he was protecting her whenever she needed someone.
"Are you going somewhere?"
Seeing him leaving, she asked dhim whom nodded.
"I will practice some archery."
"Can I join you?"
Saya asked him with hope and Sebastian wanted to scold her but could not. He turned and left while Saya sighed.
"Are not you coming?"
She heard his cold voice and instantly followed him.
Later, in the training ground, she was holding arrows for him who was shooting at his targets.
"You are very good at it. You are also good at fighting." She praised him feeling proud over him. Her husband was handsome and powerful. She never saw him getting involved with other women and this made her like him even more.
She wondered if he could actually love her back.
"Are not you good at it?"
He shooted the arrow.
"Hm,
I never learned anything."
Saya replied as she felt embarrassed.
"Why not? These are basic skills."
Sebastian turned towards her who bit her lower lip.
"What skill do you have?"
"I don't have any skills.
I was raised to be a princess who will marry some prince one day to bring peace or power."
She was the elder princess and this was her fate since the very beginning.
"This is ridiculous." Sebastian could not believe his ears.
Saya suddenly looked embarrassed.
"I...
I was taught to take care of myself and ....my beauty. If I am pretty enough then may be he won't involve with other women."
She tried to defend herself and this made Sebastian even more angry.
"Who told you this?"
"My aunt. She was the one who taught me everything. How to sit, stand, smile....
I could not learn riding because.... I might not bleed on my wedding night....
and if I learned fighting.....it might leave scar."
Sebastian made fists feeling angry over the evil woman. Why would it matter if someone bleeds or not. Does it show someone's purity?
"I wonder what she have done with her own daughter."
He felt bad for his mate while Saya chuckled.
"Do not worry.
Ursala is very good at fighting and horse riding and she also knows how to cook."
Sebastian stared at that human princess in disbelief.
"Aunt said because Ursala is not the eldest princess so she better learn everything just in case. But I always felt envious of her."
Sebastian did not have courage to tell her the truth. The truth that she was being played. The truth that she was made into a useless person by her aunt.
