Monster, how should I feel?

Chapter Five

Selena Jance was the most gorgeous and wanted girl in the Varmin Territory. Her natural black curls were perfect, her big forest green eyes were breath taking, her slim body was irresistible. No man could stay away from her and her gifted mouth. She slowly walked towards the castle. She was heading to see the king... her king. She was a couple of miles closer to the castle when she spotted the most consummated creature that has ever lived; King Hageshadow. Her heart came to a halt when she glanced at him. He had his hands stuffed deeply inside his pants' pockets, he had one leg pressed against the tree behind him like if he knew that was the weakness of every girl in the Varmin Territory, his unique colored eyes stared blankly at the trees, his handsome face looked as if he was deeply in thought which Selena loved the most. She loves everything about him, she just could not stop and that was alright with her. She snapped out of her day dreaming. She glanced at him once more and swallowed hard. She began to slowly walk towards him. As she stopped in front of him he came back to reality and turned his head to her.

"My king, " She said in reverence as she made a curtsy. He remained in silence for a few minutes.

"What do you want?" The king said straightening himself up.

"I heard some rumors I would like to ask you about," She explained staring at him.

"Be quick." He ordered. Selena took a deep breath in to regain her strength of character. Each time she faced him she became weak and nervous.

King Hageshadow was the most intimidating creature she had ever met in her life, but he was also a very passionate lover and a very gifted man. She had only been here for one minute and she already wants him to rip her clothes off and take her on the dead grass.

"Speak, woman. I do not have all day for you." He said annoyed. Selena swallowed and folded her arms across her chest.

"They say you kidnapped a little girl a few years ago and you kept her in the dungeon ever since," She spoke quickly. The king tilted his head to the side and smiled.

"Oh, yes, Avery." He replied. Selena narrowed her eyes at him.

"Is it true?" She asked denying the fact that he admitted it just now, even if Alex had said so as well.

"Yes." He affirmed indifferently.

"Why? They also say you marked her as yours," Selena could not hide the bitterness and hurt in her voice. "Why?"

"Very simply because she is mine." He replied. Selena's eyes watered.

"But she is just a child,"

"She is no longer a mere child." The king stated.

"She is still a child compared to you, Bryce." She was used to calling him by his first name when they were alone.

"I do not care." He said getting angry, glaring at Selena, she swallowed the lump in her throat.

"Do you... is she..." She trailed off. "Do you love her?" The king laughed loudly.

"Love? That is the most ridiculous thing you have ever said to me." He continued to laugh. "She is just a tool for me. Something I need for my plans,"

"What plans?" She asked frowning, King Bryce suddenly became deadly serious.

"That is not of your concern, woman. You are here to satisfy my needs, nothing else."

"I am not something you can use and leave behind, Bryce. I am not like those shameless girls who come every day and beg for you to take them. I am a respectable woman."

"Respect is not something that suits you and every other woman." Selena opened her mouth in shock and her eyes filled with unshed tears.

"I am not like them, Bryce."
