Chapter 195: Chapter 195

Chapter 195 Chapter 195 Xander’s POV:

After all was said and done, Sabrina crashed out faster than I could blink. Today must have taken quite the toll on her without a doubt.

1 sat by her bedside, watching the steady rise and fall of her chest that indicated she was alive and breathing.

The fact that this woman is mine, and mine alone, I still find it hard to believe.

Okay, maybe she isn’t mine in the complete sense of the word. But my wolf recognizes her as mine, as ours.

My eyes drifted to her neck, to the smooth and unmarked skin there.

A place that should have my mark on it.

And with that, a twinge of doubt settled in my heart. Will I ever be able to full make her mine? I cannot mark her. One bite, and my fangs will kill her. I cannot risk it, not after Katherine.

I haven’t had to think about it, or worry about my poisonous bite till now. Till I finally have someone I would love with all that I am to fully claim and make mine. These days, I found my self thinking more and more about the cure. And I hate, absolutely loathe that there isn’t a cure for this.

Sabrina has occupied my thoughts. She’s in my head, she’s in my dreams. Even when I’m not awake, I think about her all the time. Till this day I’m surprised that she came to mean this much to me after the rocky beginning we had.

And tonight?

My goodness. She was magnificent.

Not just her lithe body writhing under me as I brought her close to the edge and left her to hang. But as she took care of that man. She was so fucking perfect. The way she channeled her magic and killed that man was the hottest thing I have ever seen in a long time.

It took a lot of my self control kot to pounce on her in that moment, rip her clothes off and fuck her against a tree. And on the forest floor. And in the carriage.

I reached out and stroked her face. She leaned her head into my touch.

“Sabrina,” I called, trying to make sure she wasn’t awake.

She didn’t reply, nor did she stir.

She must be quite exhausted.

I cupped the side of her face, her skin soft and fragrant under my palm. “I will never hurt you again. Never”

No matter what it takes. I will keep these words I have spoken tonight.

****

“Your majesty, are you listening to me at all?”

I blinked, my eyes coming to focus on Nifra. “Sorry what were you saying?”

She sighed softly. “I get that you must be exhausted from today’s activities 1/4 16:28 Tue, 1 Apr AA.

“No no, you can continue. I called you here for a reason.” I looked around the deserted throne room. At this time of the night, most of the servants were asleep anyway.

“Do you really like Sabrina this much?” She asked, her head tilted to the side and her arms folded across her chest.

I let her question intentionally fly over my head. “Do you think I’m doing the right thing?”

She blinked, taken back by the sudden question. “The right thing?”

“With Sabrina. Am I doing the right thing? In your humble opinion of course.”

She exhaled softly. “You alone know the answer to that question, my king.

“I mean, it sure feels like it.”

She nodded, her eyes free of judgments.

“Ever since she came into my life, I sleep better now. you know, how bad my insomnia used to be.”

“Yes, I know.”

“And I eat better now. Nifra, I actually have an appetite. Do you know how hard it is to care for food and flavors after being alive for so long?”

“Yes, your majesty. I’m aware.”

“And I’m happy. Would you believe that?!”

She smiled, a crack in her icy exterior. “Yes, your majesty. I can see that. She makes you happy. A lot. She’s really good for you.”

“She is,”

“So now it begs the question. What plans do you have for the future? Are you going to let this be just a fling?”

“Sabrina is worth more than that and I will not insult her.”

“So you plan on making her your Luna?”

I paused.

“Nifra slow down.”

She gave a curt nod. “I’m merely thinking ahead, your majesty. After living for so long, you lose interest in trifle matters.”

“I haven’t thought that far, about making her my Luna. But now that you mention it, “I recalled the report I had gotten from my spies abot how she took over the leadership of the harem in the smoothest and most diplomatic way ever.

“She will make an excellent Luna.” And she has the experience too. She has all the leadership qualities, the grace, the elegance.

I have seen it.

Nifra hummed in agreement.

“Do you think she would want to rule with me?” I asked Nifra.

“Your majesty, don’t be silly.” She said with a fond shake of her head. “You should be asking Sabrina. Do I speak for her? No.”

“I will.”

“And also, since you’re in agreement with this, does this mean that you’d like to spend the rest of your life with her? Or the rest of her life with her. Whichever comes first.”

“Angsty as ever, Nifra.” I said. I gave her question some thought.

Strangely, I don’t feel the immediate rejection to that question. I’m not dreading spending the rest of my life with Sabrina.

If anything. I’m looking forward to it.

45 Later in the day, Sabrina came by my office.

She looked well rested, her cheeks glowing and her eyes bright.

“Your majesty, I bring news,” She said with a bow.

“Good morning to you too, Sabrina.”

“Oh yes, good morning. Did you sleep well?”

“Not much. What is the matter? Did anything happen with the harem?”

She shook her head and took a step closer. She glanced at my lap and then shook her head. “The girl we rescued last night. She woke up this morning.”

“Yes. How is she? Was she hurt?”

“No. Thankfully we saved her before any permanent damage could be done to her. But from what she said, her brothers sold her off to those men.”

Disgusting.

“So I gave her refuge in the harems. At least until she gets back on her feet. Is this okay?”

“Yes. You made a wise call.”

She beamed at the praise. I noted that information for later use.

“Why are you so far away? Come closer now. I’ve missed you.”

“After last night?” She asked, and folded her arms “I did not miss you at all.”

I got up and grabbed her arm, dragging her back to me. She didn’t put up a protest as I pressed my lips to her throat and kissed her skin. Her scent hit me hard, sending shocks through my body and right to my dick.

Now isn’t the time. I must show my restraint.

“Will you come somewhere with me?” I whispered against her throat.

“Your bed?”

“No. A party. I was invited, and I want you to come with me.”

She gasped and turned her head to look at me.” Party?”

“Yes. My presence as king is needed. And unfortunately Caldan who would have gone in my stead isn’t here.”

Ah right. Caldan was his representative to these sort of things.

3/4 16:28 Tue, 1 Apr Chapter 195 “Are you going to reveal yourself?”

“No. Not yet. I will go, but under a different name. As far as they are concerned, the king sent me instead of Caldan.”

“A party sounds lovely.” I said without hesitation. “Plus, I want to to see how good you’ll look dressed up ”

His eyes twinkled with mischief. “What a smooth talker you’re turning out to be.”

“I learned from the best.”

Last night flashed through my mind again. Truth be told, as much as I tried, I couldn’t get Sabrina out of my head.

“Sit on the table.” I said in a sharp command.

She blinked, her head jerking back. “Why?”

“Why else?”

Her breath hitched and a rosy hue rose to her cheeks. Ah, she’s thinking what I’m thinking. Good.

“Would you let me eat you out right over my desk?”
