CHAPTER 5

Christie's POV
I woke up feeling sore all over. I laid on my back, staring straight at the ceiling as what happened the previous night with Lycan King Damien flashed through my mind and tears rolled down the corner of my eyes. As if being maltreated wasn't enough, I have gotten a new position as someone to satisfy his desires.
I slowly pushed myself up to look around the room for him but I noticed I was in a different room and I was wearing a night shirt that didn't belong to me. "Where am I? This isn't his room." I asked but just then, the door opened and the lady who brought me in when I arrived stepped into the room with two maids, carrying trays.
"You are awake miss. I am Elisa, anything you need, his majesty said you should ask either of them, Erma and Tia, and if you want to stroll out, they will take you around." She explained. "And if you have any requests and it is something Erma and Tia can't do, please send them for me." She said as she bowed her head and the maids placed the tray by me on the bed.
I didn't understand what was happening at all and I looked confused. Immediately Tia and Erma stepped out of the room, Elisa walked closer to me and whispered.
"Do not do anything to anger his majesty miss. You have gotten the authority you have here now because of your body and you have to be strong because there's a lot of women out in the palace compound being sent out because of you." Elisa said and I looked at her in shock.
"Because of me?" I asked and she nodded before stepping away and placing my food on my lap.
"Please have your lunch while they prepare your bath. You must be very sore from the previous night." She said as she stepped away from me.
I muttered a thank you before I started to eat the food on my plate. I couldn't believe it just like that, I lost my innocence. Now I am worthless and will be seen as a piece of trash everywhere in this palace that I step my feet even if it's just outside my room.
Tears rolled down my eyes as I ate the food gently. I had never had a delicious meal in my life and yet I was doing so with a very safe heart and a filthy body.
The day went down very slowly and I was just feeling pain all over my body. I think Elisa noticed that and later in the afternoon, she returned with the doctor.
"You will be fine. It is just a first-time thing." He said with his hands in his pocket. "I will advise you to take a stroll and it will help you a little bit."
I thought a stroll was something I didn't want to take. Knowing by now that everyone would have known about me, I didn't want to appear filthy in front of them.
I didn't have a choice though, I stepped out of the room finally, simply dressed and Erma and Tia walked right behind me as they directed me toward the main garden. I sat on one of the benches there, inhaling fresh air when I saw a couple of ladies walking in the opposite direction, looking at me.
Due to my enhanced hearing, I could hear what they whispered as they walked past me. "I think she is the new s*x slave his majesty bought." The first whispered to the other who looked at me.
"I don't see what she has that I don't have. I am more beautiful than she is." The second scoffed.
"We can't possibly get on her bad side. Didn't you hear that it was because of her his majesty sent out half of his concubines?" The first whispered again. "At least she would free me from his domination."
"I like being his majesty's concubine. It is an honor to be the one he makes love to but now this witch wants to take away my position."
I let out a sigh as I looked down at my hands, playing with my fingers. Tears trickled down my cheeks as I remembered every single word they said about me just now. I thought it was worse being a slave to my foster parent, but at least I was able to keep my self-worth, but here, it was the opposite. I had some freedom but I am seen as trash who sold her body for pleasure.
"It's not every day I run into one of the concubines sitting comfortably in my cousin's palace." I heard a masculine voice and I quickly wiped my tears before looking up at the individual.
"Alpha Luther." The two maids standing next to my bench bowed and greeted him. I stood up and bowed my head and he chuckled and just then, an intoxicating scent filled my nostrils. I didn't know if it was his cologne or something was wrong with me.
He stared down at me for a few seconds before smiling at me. "I'm Luther, Damien's cousin. He refused to speak to me yet so I decided to take a stroll around. I've never seen a concubine sitting so close to his quarters except they are passing by." He explained and I nodded my head slowly.
"My room is right next to his, alpha Luther," I said with bowed head.
"Next to his room? You don't stay in the concubine's quarters?" He asked with a raised brow and despite not knowing what the concubine's quarters are, I shook my head and replied negatively to him.
"Well, that's new. I never thought Damien would do something like that to one of his concubines and you can call me Luther."
"I am not his concubine Alpha…"
"Do you have a problem with her being mine?" A chilly voice made me freeze on the spot. Everwheybe became cold as the whole temperature dropped.
"She's mine."
