"Stop." I urged through a laugh as I tried shoving Jake’s hand away but it was pointless since he was way taller, and didn’t have to stress to reach the top of my head. He was laughing and so was I.

I knew he was doing this to get me in a better mood and I appreciated him so much for that. After I returned and bursted into tears before him, he held me till I stopped crying. Although I didn’t tell him what actually happened because it felt too shameful to say out loud, he knew something was wrong and still tried to make me feel better. I did tell him what went down between me and the brown haired guy though, and he claimed that it didn’t surprise him that much.

Apprently, Damien had always been undressing and fucking me with his eyes but I just never noticed till this very moment. I still refused to believe that, however I still feel appalled to this very moment that he asked if I’d like to have sex with him. He was clearly way older than I am, and I’m just seventeen. That should definitely not be something he’s supposed to be talking to me about, but of course I couldn’t dare to tell him.

"Are you tired yet?" Jake asked, pulling me out of my thoughts and I shook my head, leaning my head against his arm as a small sigh escaped my lungs.

I was already dreading what tomorrow has in store for me. Day after day, my predicament just keeps getting worse. The seniors here won’t assign me to the crown prince anymore, so how was I even supposed to report to the grand king? And the bald headed man tasked me with getting closer to the prince, a task that I believed was impossible from the onset and a task that I had no interest in doing because that felt like betraying the prince and I didn’t want to do that.

Another sigh left my mouth as I spoke.

"Life is so unfair to me." I mumbled, my chest feeling extremely hollow.

I miss my sisters so much. I think of them everyday, and I’ve been trying not to imagine if I’d never get to see them again and if I’m supposed to live the rest of my life here as a slave. The thought was so scary and depressing that I forced myself to stop thinking about it whenever it flashed through my mind.

"Don’t I know it?" Jake murmured in understanding. We were leaning against a tree just at the side of the path leading into the slave quarters. There was no one out there and the moonlight perfectly showed down on us. The weather was nice and I wished we could lay and sleep out here tonight but it was way too dangerous.

Something gathered at the base of my spin, almost like a prickle and I stiffened, my breathing slowing down as I quickly glanced around because it just felt like I was being watched right now.

"What’s wrong?" Jake asked when I kept looking around. There was no one in sight and I shook my head as I faced Jake again.

"Nothing, I guess,"

Jake hummed as he pushed away from the tree and pocketed his hands. "Let’s head in already, we have a long day tomorrow."

As we both made our way in, I kept hoping over and over again that tomorrow won’t be as worst as today had been for me.

And that I’d have an eventless day for once since I got here.

"Who are you to question me?" Veronica, one of the vile seniors thundered as she slapped me hard across the face. All I asked was that she not assign me to the Prince’s wing today, because the thought of serving Prince Vlad again today was extremely frightening, because what if he chose to go further than using my mouth to get himself off?

"You have no right to! Always remember your place, am I understood?" She thundered and I nodded, holding my burning cheek and refusing to break down even though I was falling apart once again on the inside.

"Today, you’ll serve Alpha Zade. Now, go to the royal kitchen and go serve him his breakfast!" She thundered and I dragged myself out of the seniors office, while hoping that today would be a little better than yesterday since at least I won’t be serving Alpha Vlad.

I went off to the royal kitchen, got his breakfast tray and made my way to his room, which is also located in the prince’s wing. I wondered if after serving Alpha Zade his meal, I could quickly go off to see the crown prince. I didn’t see him throughout yesterday and within me, it felt like something was missing till this very moment.

But what would I even say on getting to his room with no cleaning supplies or anything, that I was just there to say hello? Did he even want to see me? Won’t my presence get him annoyed... or something?

I let out a sigh as I got to Prince Zade’s room and knocked

"Come in." He called and I took in a deep breath before stepping in and closing the door after me. He was lounging in his bed, looking so imposing and large that I felt fear settle in my chest as I walked in to drop the tray on the table. I bowed to him after that and made to leave when he called me back.

As I turned back around, he got off his bed and sauntered to me, then he took my hand and tugged me against him so fast that my head spinned.

"Why don’t you have breakfast with me, gorgeous?"

My heart pounded fast and I shook my head and tried to pull away.

"I should go..." I began but he clicked his tongue and refused to let me go, giving me a slow look over.

"Aren’t you the little thing my dear cousin has apparently taken a liking to? I think you should definitely have breakfast with me. There’s a few theories I’d like to try out."

When I attempted to say something else, a pair of lips settled over mine.
