CHAPTER 17

Chapter 17 “My dad, would be rolling in his grave if he could see the world you and your family built.” I must have had a death wish, because I could feel the kings anger radiating off him every time I spoke. “Do you think that because you are my mate and queen you are exempt from punishment! You’re stupid father was a war criminal and got what he deserved. If you keep up this attitude youll end up worse off.” He spat at me his fist clenched and his body tense, in fact I thought he might have even shifted but he managed to control himself. “Your mine! From the moment I saw you in the hallway until death parts us. You belong to me!” “I don’t belong to anybody. If my dad were alive he’d never have let you take me!” The atmosphere was b almost insufferable. The king however had an answer for everything. becoming “He’s dead! And your mother had no issues with me taking you. She knew you were mine. Now one more word of this and you’ll have regrets for weeks, do you understand me?” I glared at him and sighed. I know when I’ve been defeated. So I turned my head to the window and got lost in my thoughts. So much had happened that I couldn’t comprehend so quickly. I silently watched the outside world zoom past before I saw a giant gate come into view. The limousine passed through with ease and finally the king spoke once more. “Welcome home, my queen.” King Josh announced as we made our way up a hill to the front of the castle. Once the vehicle had come to a stop, the Kings door was opened by a man in a suit, and he gracefully climbed out. Before I could blink my door was opened by a man in an identical suit and a hand was held out for me to take. Ignoring it I too climbed out and had a small stretch before a hand was placed on my upper back. I jumped forward not expecting it and looked at the beta who simply placed his hand once again on my back and led me to the side of the king. Outside the main castle doors a line of servants waited to greet the king. I was led to the front of the line by the king whose hand was placed a lot lower than the betas was.

“My queen, this will be your staff. The king announced pointing to the entire line of people. Wait everyone here was for me? I thought they were simply greeting the king. “Harriet and Lauren, will be your handmaiden.” He gestured to two girls, they both looked to be about 20, their hair was placed in an extremely neat bun and their outfits resembled that of a typical maid. “It is a pleasure to serve you, your highness.” Harriet spoke before they both curtsied before me. “Greta, will be your royal dress designer. He led me one step so that I was in front of the next person in the line. Greta, was a middle aged woman, she had a hard face and her grey hair was tied in a very neat bun also. “You are a very beautiful young lady. I look forward to working with you. Your majesty.” This is far too weird, it’s too much to take in. She too performed a low curtsy before I was led to the next servant in the line up. “Warren, will be your personal escort. Wherever you go, he will follow. He is here to ensure your safety above all else.” I swallowed thickly before lowering my head, as is what I’m used to doing. The king growled slightly before grabbing my arm and turning my body towards him, his finger gently took hold of my chin and lifted it slightly to his eye level. “A queen, never lowers her head to anyone. Except me.” He spoke before tucking a stray piece of my messy hair behind 1/2 Chapter 17 my ear. “It’s an honor to meet you, Your grace. I assure you, you have nothing to worry about while I’m here.” My personal guard spoke before he placed one arm over his stomach and bent his upper body in a low how. We walked a long the line introducing me to my personal chef, my royal hairdresser, my makeup artist, a butler and even a bloody shoe shiner before finally walking me through the doors. “It’s a lot to take in isn’t it?” The beta quickly jogged up to us to walk next to me while I was being escorted by the king, the gamma did the same but on Joshua’s side. “You could say that.” I mumbled as we made it into the main hall.

gazed upon the extravagant interior of the palace. “Holy shit!” My sight wandered from the staircase to the giant pot of flowers on the table. I was never going to get out of here.
