The Lycan King’s Destiny

Chapter 3

Kayla's POV.

I woke up abruptly due to a loud bang coming from somewhere in my vicinity.

My whole body felt heavy and tired. I laid on my bed, trying to gather myself together so I could stand up and begin my day.

Immediately, the door burst open and my step brother strode in.

“Look who we have here. If it’s not the devil herself.” he said in a mocking tone.

I was used to my stepsisters maltreating me but I didn’t think I would ever get used to it coming from my step brother, Josh.

It wasn't like I had a choice, I was just an abused and frail she-wolf, living under the oppressive rule of my step siblings. They despised me deeply, especially my eldest one.

My step parents died in a tragic accident on the way back from my high school graduation, together with my sister and I was left to bear the burden of guilt that came with surviving alone.

I had pretty much accepted that this was my life now.

“Now that I am back, it’s time you get punished for everything you’ve done. But first of all I will start off small.” He looked me up and down with a sneer of disgust. "Go serve dinner to my best friend, the king, you murderer,"

I stood up, my legs feeling weak and unsteady as I tried not to cry. I was so tired of being treated like a servant, and my family made my life miserable.

I went down to the kitchen and immediately spotted the king’s breakfast all wrapped fancy and ready to go.

I picked it up and took the king's meal to his room. I felt too embarrassed and ashamed to look him in the eyes, especially since I felt dirty and grimy, I was sure I looked it too..

As I walked towards the king, I could feel his eyes on me. It made me feel extremely uncomfortable and uneasy.

“Look who we have here. I didn’t think I would meet you so suddenly after last night. Seeing you right now, I can’t wait to have you in bed again And this time make you moan better than-” he didn’t finish his statement when he was distracted by the sound of Josh’s voice as he strolled in.

“Did you see the stupid maid I sent…”Josh paused when he saw I was inside.

I froze on the spot. did he overhear the king? What would he do?

My heart kept racing and fear sparked in me.

“Oh there she is”, Josh said as he sat down.

After I finished serving the food, I was about leaving when Josh stopped me.

“Come back here” he ordered and I went like the loyal dog they have made me to be.

“She’s the stupid sister I told you about” Josh said to the king as he pointed towards me. “Remember I told you I was going to punish her. Well, I am starting that with she being your personal maid.”

Immediately Josh said those words, the king paused for few minutes his gaze fixed directly on me . “She’s the sister you talked about? The one you said Is the cause of your parents death?” He asked his best friend.

“Yes, she’s the one. if you don’t want her around you, you could let me know, I can punish her in a different way.”

The king shook his head in disagreement. “No it’s fine. I can handle her” he replied still gazing at me.

"And you, don't even think about trying anything stupid.." He said.

The king kept his eyes on me. Contemplation vivid in his face.

"Klaus" my step-brother called. Breaking whatever hold the king had on me.

"Alright" he responded, keeping his gaze on him short and with no interest before returning it to me.

My vision swayed but I waited, waiting for my step brother to dismiss me but he just kept me waiting as he went on and on about the pack to the Lycan king.

"Excuse me," I said, my voice shaking. "I feel really sick." For a moment, my vision went blurry as I swayed on my feet.

I turned to leave as the urge to vomit came off strong.

"And where do you think you're going?" he scolded me harshly. "I just introduced you as the king's personal servant maid, and now you want to walk away? Get right back here and stand beside him like the maid you're supposed to be."

With embarrassment I looked down, feeling the effect of his words. I didn’t dare protest, knowing it would only make things worse. Reluctantly, I obeyed and stepped closer to the king as he commanded.

As I stood there, eyes down in submission, I noticed the king glancing at me. His gaze made me uneasy along with the thought of Josh figuring something out.

“Let her go. I’m exhausted from the activities of today.” The king finally spoke as he dismissed me.

Relief flooded my system as I bowed my head to him.

————————————-

Few days passed and I noticed my one of my step sisters, Lily always coming out the King's room.

After taking my mate from me and claiming they were married, I least expect to see her around the King.

The thought of what they might be doing came but I brushed it off. It was none of my business.

A day came, when I was about to serve the king, without knocking I opened the door only to see Lily naked and on top the king.

I had apologized profusely that day.

Days turned into weeks, and the king would often invite Lily over. They would have s*x together and I was left to hear their loud moans and cries.

However, sometimes it felt like the king was acting strangely around me, almost like he didn't know what to think of me.

Sometimes he would treat me like I meant something to him and even stop his friend from maltreating me and other times he acted like he didn't care.

I shrugged off the thoughts, reminding myself that I was just a maid and nothing more. Whatever had happened between us was just a mistake and I didn’t mean anything to him.

One night, while bringing the king's dinner to him in the main dining room , I was suddenly hit by an overwhelming feeling of sickness and nausea.

Although I tried my hardest to hold it back, the intense churning and unsettled feeling in my stomach became too much to bear.

Politely excusing myself, I hurried out of the dining hall, hand covering my mouth, and barely made it through the doors before violently throwing up and vomiting uncontrollably.

When I had finally composed myself enough to return, the king looked upon me with concern. "Are you alright?" he inquired when I returned, his brow furrowed in worry.

"Yes, your majesty," I replied weakly, forcing a feeble smile despite the queasiness still gripping my belly. "I'm quite alright."

I strode forward once more to resume my duties attending to him, determined not to let my mysterious illness disrupt my service.

The following morning, still feeling dreadfully ill, I made my way to the local herbalist.

After a series of examinations and tests, the herbalist revealed the shocking diagnosis; I was pregnant.

The news hit me like a ton of bricks, and I was overwhelmed with a flood of conflicting emotions. Fear, uncertainty, and disbelief washed over me in equal measure.

The Lycan King was the only one I had laid with. I was frightened of the consequences. What am I going to do?

I couldn't shake the feeling of dread that settled deep within my heart. How would my step siblings and the king react to the news? Would they cast me out? Or worse still, would the king accept this child as his?
