Chapter 113: WHY DID YOU HURT ME?
It surprised Rose slightly when the king refused her advance, she stopped walking toward him and stood a few steps away from where he was sitting. He looked regal, like the king he was.
Rose controlled her emotions and started talking with light voice, concealing all the thoughts she had for the king.
"King Dacre, I didn't upset the queen, she is still my little sister, with the baby on the way, I will never try to intentionally do any harm to her, but..." she paused, gauging the king's reaction. "I think she is jealous with our interaction earlier and now she wanted to send me back."
Dacre nodded his head and his next respond left Rose speechless. "If she wanted to send you back, someone will prepare a carriage for you."

"King Dacre!" Rose was mortified. She didn't expect this answer at all. "I came here with a purpose, if you sent me back your action will not look good on my father."
"First of all, you came here under the pretext that you will visit your sister, the queen, there is no agenda between two kingdoms and second, it's my queen's order to send you back. As much as this kingdom is mine, this kingdom is hers too, since she is my mate, the woman that I chose to be the queen, someone that I chose to bear my child, so if your presence is a nuisance in her eyes, she can do whatever to make herself feeling better."
Dacre was impressed that Rose could come up with the idea with the ships, but it was not an impressing or an amazing suggestion. Dacre was more impressed by the fact a woman could come up with such idea in the first place.
The only woman that he knew could actually use her head was luna Zuri, after he learned the truth that she had been the mastermind behind the succeed of River Creek pack.
He only really learned the depth of Zuri's involvement in the business recently after he issued a decree the union between her and Khaos.
That was a mistake, he shouldn't have let Khaos kept such woman by his side, but even so, Dacre had taken a cautious measure about his mishap.
"Is that clear?" Dacre picked one of the reports and then waved his hand. "You can leave now."
Rose felt humiliated by the way Dacre dismissed her, but she concealed it very well, as she read the room and knew it would only get worse if she insisted with her case. At the very least, she got the idea how this king was.
He couldn't be seduced easily. It was weird, but somehow to find a royalty man loyal to their mate was strange, but also challenging at the same time.
But, if she could get him, it would worth the effort.
"My sincere apology for wasting your time, king Dacre, I will take my leave." Rose retreated.
Once she left the room, Dacre continued to read the report, but he was surprised that Rose stopped her attempt. He was not stupid, of course, he knew what Rose's initial plan to come here.
But at the very least, she was smart enough to know when to retreat.
Later that night, Dacre learned that Rose really left the kingdom, she went to pack her things and leave the palace right after their conversation in the study room.
However, this fact left Nycta upset.
"I think I am too harsh on her," Nycta said to Dacre, as she laid down next to him. "I think I should apologize to her."
"There is no need for you to apologize to her." Dacre kissed her forehead and hugged her. "Now, sleep. You need to take some rest. You have been thinking too much, it's not good to stress out the baby."
Nycta snuggled against his chest and soon, she fell asleep, only after that, Dacre got off the bed and went out of the room, where Killian was standing on guard outside.
Dacre stood next to him and stared down at him, but Killian simply lowered his head solemnly. He didn't say anything when the king put his finger under his chin and tilted his head up.
"Very quiet like usual." Dacre smirked. He brushed his thumb against his lower lip. "She is pregnant with your child. No one should know about this... in this case... I should have killed you, so no one will know," he drawled his words out.
"My life is yours, my king," Killian replied, he didn't falter at all with the threat.
Dacre chuckled when he heard that. "Very good. I know your life is mine. You need to remember that." He leaned over and kissed his lips, as Killian closed his eyes and relished it.

"Stop it," Khaos said coldly.
"She still can withstand the fourth curse, alpha," Rhett said when he ordered the black magic users to put the fourth curse on Zuri.
"No." Khaos looked at Rhett dead in the eyes. "If she died everything will go in vain."
If Zuri died, they would need to start everything over and it would take years to even find the right Shell to start the whole process.
Rhett knew that too.
"I am sorry, alpha, I got caught up with the excitement." Rhett then stopped the ritual and then ordered them to release Zuri from her shackles.
By this time, Zuri looked very pale, her face turned so red because of all the cries and pain, her voice was hoarse for all the screaming.
Khaos walked toward the slab when they were done with her.
"We need to erase her memory about this, alpha," one of the worshipers in the white cloak explained to Khaos. "It will take a while, please step aside."
Khaos didn't budge, thus the black magic users could do it with him still standing there.
Zuri found Khaos's eyes and her lips trembled when she spoke. "Why did you hurt me?"
