"I will work for you until I pay back the amount in full. I want to be a maid. Please… I don't want to be a companion." I started to plead once everyone left the ward.
He saw her begging but his expression remained unyielding.
"I never tasted a weak duckling," he smirked and walked toward me. I stepped back with fear until I hit the wall.
"I am not weak," I said in a low tone and tried to push him away, but his solid body didn't move an inch. I could barely breathe properly because of his overpowering presence.
"You will be mine until you fulfill your duty," he said, his voice firm and cold. I turned my head away, but he gripped my chin roughly and made me look into his eyes. His hand tightened around my neck, making it hard to breathe.
"You will serve me every night," his eyes gleamed with intensity, as if he saw me as nothing more than a prize to claim. I felt a wave of fear wash over me, and my breath came in short gasps.
My eyes welled up with tears as I shook my head slowly. "No… no," I murmured, my voice trembling. He loosened his grip slightly, but his words cut deeper than his touch.
"Girl, you'd better hope this ends soon. If not…" He left the sentence hanging, and I couldn't bear to hear more. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I dropped my eyes. I couldn't believe my father would do this to me. I couldn't accept it.
"Whether you agree or not, it doesn't matter," he said harshly, his breath grazing my cheek. He leaned in closer, his lips brushing against my neck. "Remember, I am your Alpha now. You won't defy me."
He pushed me back, and I stumbled to the ground, his words echoing in my mind like a cruel curse.
