The Forced Maiden For The Cursed Alpha King by Josephine Ivy

Chapter 209 Sabrina's POV: I inhaled sharply, my eyes widened in shock. “I don't understand. Why was he supposed to be killed? The king paused for a beat before he continued. "His mother tried to kill him to guilt trip my father." "But why?" +68 "Well let's say after my mother died- was killed, my father didn't want to make another Luna. And Caldan's mother wanted to be Luna. So she planned to kill Caldan as a way to force my father's hand to make her his Luna." 1 covered my mouth with my hands, the image of a mother about to kill her newborn son flashing through my eyes. Even though that newborn son was caldan, who I absolutely loathed. Back then he was a baby.

"I rescued him," The kind continued. "I didn't let the fact that he was the product of my father's infidelity stop my love for him. After all he was an innocent child caught in-between the mess of two adults." "You loved him." "I did. He was my brother, and I loved him dearly." His eyes darkened, and a vulnerable look passed between them. Then he straightened his back and the look was gone.

"That's not what he said to me," I said, almost hesitant to reveal it. So I told him what Caldan had said was his history. The more I spoke, the more I realized how absolutely ridiculous it sounded.

"He lied. And I have no idea why he would do such a thing. I raised Caldan. Like he was my own flesh and blood. I poured all that I had into him." "And he tarnished your name." The king laughed bitterly. "His mother? The swoman who only remembers the existence of her son when she wants to use him and get favours? Caldan hated her. Sometimes I would try and meditate, try and explain to him that she perhaps did what she had to do." We both know that Caldan can't be reasoned with.

This side of the story hasshocked down to my bone marrow. For a moment I don't know what possessedto even believe Caldan in the first place.

Oh right. I was angry at the king. And I refused to listen to him no matter what he said.

"I'm so sorry," I whispered. Personally, I know how it feels when a sibling betrays you. I don't think I'll ever forgive or forget what Iris did. She didn't try to kill me, but still. "From the way you sound, he meant a lot to you." "I liked him a lot. And I was going to give him my throne." I gasped and stumbled back. "Your throne?" My goodness. He had this much love from Caldan?! And Caldan ruined this?! "Yes." The king replied. “I had made peace with the fact that I won't ever have another mate. And as for a child, that was completely out of the question. I never wanted a child" "Why not?" I asked, my eyes crestfallen. My heart paled and I grasped my hands together. I can't imagine a life without children. And the fact that I can't have any painsso much. "You hate children?" "No." He said. "I don't hate children, I hate my life. A life where I won't be able to give a child all what they need. I won't be able to play with them in the sun. I can't love them properly, because of this curse." 1/3 393% Chapter 209 "Oh," that was even worse. Now that I think of it, it's trite.

But I can totally imagine him having children. I know that if all were right, he would be the most perfect father ever.

He's so full of love, and he doesn't even know it.

"I still can't believe Caldan lied so much" I said, changing the topic from the depressing talk about children. Besides, I've cto peace with the fact that I also won't have any.

So there's no point crying.

68) "I guess that happens when children grow up too fast. The king replied solemnly. "And Caldan did have Eto grow up fast. He had too much resting on his shoulders. Especially when it cto helpingout with diplomatic activities of the pack. I understand if he would crack at a point. Pressure does that to a man” I chewed my lower lip hard.

"If the case were different, if he hadn't tried to hurt you, I would have forgiven him." "What?" He faced me, his eyes glowing subtly in the moonlight. “I'm not a wicked man, Sabrina. And I am not perfect either. I would have tried to understand him if he had never hurt you. I expected too much of him, that I will admit." "You'll fight him for me?" "Yes" He said without hesitation. "Yes I would. He touched you, and that is unforgivable. I can't let that slide. He will pay for that." My cheeks heated up and I blinked. "That's...that's something." "It's alright. You don't need to worry about it."

I don't. But it doesn't mean that I still don't worry about it. I just can't help it I know what Caldan can do, the it!! lengths he can go to.

I don't want to lose the king. No matter what. No matter if he hates his life. I don't want to lose him.

"But, my king, why do you hate your life?" I asked softly.

"It was a long one, and a lonely one. I couldn't die because of the curse. I couldn't live either." He can't die? My goodness. What kind of curse is this? Was it spun in hell?!

My heart aches and I moved forward to him. I hugged him, my arms m wrapped tightly around his middle. He held me, his chin rested on my crown and his hand stroking my hair lovingly. "I'm so sorry. I can't begin to imagine how..." My throat constricted and I gulped in a lungful of air.

"I don't hate my life anymore." I raised my head and looked at him. “You don't?"

He smiled, his eyes kind and full of love and tenderness. He leaned down and kissed my forehead. My eyes fluttered shut. "I have you with me. How can I hate my life now?" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
