Lycan King's Regret: Punished The Wrong Daughter novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50: 50- You’re Brave.

Arabella Toussaint:

Did Maya really try to contact me? What if it was just my imagination? Just a coincidence?

But I knew those numbers. We played that game a lot.

Our secret decoding game. Once Vanessa caught our chit but couldn’t find out what was written there.

Lost in my thoughts, I wandered through the palace without paying attention to where I was going. I didn’t even realize I had reached the training grounds. Suddenly, a foot slid in front of mine.

I stumbled. Before I could catch myself, I crashed hard onto the ground. Laughter erupted around me.

Heat rushed to my face as I pushed myself up on my elbows. I looked up and found that mean warrior girl standing over me with arms folded across her chest. The smug smile on her face was hard to miss.

"Well, well, well...." She drawled, looking me up and down, "What an upgrade!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

I looked down at my black jeans that were now covered in mud.

"A few days ago, you were scrubbing pots in the kitchen," her smile widened, "Now look at you. Spreading your puny legs for the king?"

Her words struck harder than the fall. It made something burn inside me.

What did she just say? She thought we slept together? Was that why His Highness allowed me to walk freely in the palace? In return for my... umm services?

I stood there, my hands hanging limply at my sides as I heard the laughter of the warriors gathered around us.

These were the same warriors who got their boots cleaned by me.

I wanted to tell them that the king wouldn’t like it. But why scare them off by taking the king’s name? Was I a baby?

Jasmine tilted her head, "What happened?" she asked me with a sweet smile, "Did I hurt your feelings, kiddo?"

Something stirred inside me. That familiar strange sensation was back, crawling beneath my skin. It started in my wrists before slithering through my veins, sending tiny tingles into my fingertips. Another pulse brushed against my temples as though hundreds of tiny legs were crawling beneath my skin. It reminded me of the insects I felt just yesterday.

Why was she bullying me?

Trying to ignore those strange sensations, I smiled. And this time I just knew that my smile wasn’t my usual timid one.

Jasmine’s smile seemed to falter a little.

"You know?" I moved a little to get closer to her, "I was told that you’re a very capable and skilled head warrior. But today... I’m quite disappointed," I glanced at the soldiers watching us, "You spend an awful lot of time worrying about who shares the king’s bed. What about our borders, head warrior?" I made a face while asking her, "What about the security measures to avoid further attacks on the royal family?"

The laughter stopped, and her expression froze.

Without realizing what I was doing, I began circling her slowly. Like a tigress. Assessing its prey. My fingers brushed lightly over my wrist as I tried to get rid of the strange crawling sensation still weaving through my veins.
