Lost In His Kingdom

7. Change

The king came back when I was done with my food. Rory left and again it was me and The King. 

"How are you feeling?" at last he asked. Sharp eyes taking in my every movement.

"I am feeling alright sir. Thank you" I asked. 

He still kept looking. That made me feel too small. The way he looked made my skin crawl. I wanted it to stop at this moment.

"Sire if I could ask why am I here?" I asked after debating for a long moment. He wasn't saying anything. So I had to.

"You don't remember last night?" He asked while he came closer to the bed. He then sat on the chair that Rory had placed beside the bed when she was helping me eat.

"I do sire. However I do not understand why I am in this room. Shouldn't I be in the slaves quarters?” My voice didn't shake this time. Eyes focused in front of me, at my hands on my lap.

At that the king rose from the chair and sat on the bed. He took my chin and made me face him. However I still didn't look at him.

"Look at me" he said huskily and I realized how close he was. " Look at me"

When I did  it was too hard to keep looking. The urge to look away was too strong. And when I tried to look away the grip on my chin got stronger. Almost painful. 

"Keep looking," he said. But how can I do that? The intensity was too much. He was too close and I was too scared. 

It felt like he was searching for something. It felt like he was testing me. Trying to figure out something. What I didn't know. But the more time passed the more disappointed he got.

"You don't feel it. Do you?" He asked at last. The grip on my chin disappeared and I backed away too fast. The action made him narrow his eyes at me.

"I don't understand. What feeling?" I asked. The whole situation made no sense. Was I supposed to feel something? Aside from pain from the bruise that is.

"Of course you are human. You won't feel it." He said the word human like it was the most disgusting thing. And again I felt small. I know they hate us. We are nothing but pests in their eyes. So why am I still here?

"I am sorry if I made a mistake." I said and tried to get up. I should have went back to the slaves quarters long ago. It was a mistake by my side.

" what are you doing?" The king asked. 

"Um..going back to the slaves quarters." I asked head low. 

"And did I tell you to leave?" He asked. 

I stopped midway. I don't know what to do now. 

"I apologize Sire." I said. "What should I do?" 

"You will rest until I say otherwise," he said.

This is so confusing. How am I gonna stay here? Why will I? My pack members will leave this afternoon. And I don't know what happened to Robin. And I am in a position that would kill any slave.

"Your majesty but my pack. They will be leaving soon." I said.I have to get back to them.
 
This got me a raised eyebrow. Shit. My tone sounded like I was frustrated. 

"I apologize again. I didn't want to be rude. I just need to go. My alpha and luna would be leaving and I need to attend to them" I said this time in a natural tone. 

"No one will leave without my permission." He said simply. 

I didn't know what to say anymore. I was getting frustrated at this situation. I need to go. The alpha and luna will punish me. Robin might be hurt. But I am already in trouble and I don't know how to act now.
