Chapter 203
Sabrina’s POV
Iris froze. Zayn pulled his arm back and turned to her. “What does she mean by that?” He asked her.

“Oh come on now sis” I said to iris. “Why don’t you tell him who the real father of your baby is. Him? Or his trusted beta?”
“That’s a lie!” Iris exploded. “She’s sprouting nonsense! Don’t believe a word that comes out of her mouth.”
Zayn frowned and took a step back from iris. “What is this about?”
Iris frantically grabbed his arm. “You have to believe me and not her! She’s lying, she’s saying anything right now because she’s angry and jealous of us!”
Zayn would have believed her. Maybe.
“Think about it.” I said to Zayn. “Think of all the times, all the ways she acts around him. You must be really blind if you think all those puppy dog eyes he gives her are just so so.”
Iris gasped, her eyes horrified and her jaw slack. “Baby, please don’t-”
“Oh, why don’t we ask the man of the hour?” I asked, a smile lighting my face up as I sighted the beta. “Cade!” I called out and waved at him.
“Come here,” Zayn said.
Cade walked over to us, oblivious to the tense atmosphere he just walked in on. “Good evening my alpha, my Luna,” He looked at me and turned sharply back to Zayn.
“Did you fuck my luna?” Zayn asked, going right of the point.
A look of horror crossed Cade’s face. He glanced sharply at Iris. And that was all it took.
“I didn’t-” He began to say.
“You liar.” Zayn hissed. He stood frozen in shock, and beside him Iris was jumping up and down.
“It’s not true!” She cried out. “I’m the one you believe!”
Zayn stepped back from her, a deep look of betrayal etched on his face. “You did.” He said. He laughed bitterly. “You fucked my beta. For how long?”
Iris started to cry. Big fat fake tears streaming down her face. Cade stood here, shaking.
I smirked to myself.
Oh well, sad things happen. And there’s nothing we can do about them.
I turned and walked away, leaving them to settle their cute couple fight, a feeling of pride blooming in my chest that I had finally, finally stood up to them and confronted their bullshit.
I met the king halfway, he had finally been released by those alphas. He noticed my smile.
“Is everything okay?” He asked.
I inhaled and exhaled softly. “I’ve never been better. Do you want to party?”
Chapter 203
He raised a dark brow. “Yes. I’m feeling the festivities now.”
I took his arm and pressed my chest to his bicep. “Let’s have fun, Mr Kyle.”

On the carriage ride home, I revealed to him that my power hadn’t worked on Caldan’s assassin.
“I tried to use it, the same way I did that night. It failed.” I said to him. I couldn’t shake off how I felt like I had failed or something. Plus the fact that if he wasn’t there, I would have definitely been kidnapped.
He took my hand and kissed each of my fingers. “He used a spell to shield his mind. And don’t worry about it too much. It will get to a point in the mastery of your gifts that you’ll be able to break down those kind of shields.”
“That would be wonderful. I didn’t know he had a shield up.”
We arrived at the castle. He carried me bridal style down to the front doors. It was still late, and majority of the staff were fast asleep.
“I can walk now,” I said shyly.
“Let me carry you, it’s been a long night.”
has.
I toyed with the silver embroidery on his shirt. “It sure has.”
“Did you enjoy the party? Asides the whole drama.”
I laughed softly. He carried me through the halls, and I recognized that we were heading to his room.
“I enjoyed myself, very much. And your speech, I hadn’t expected that at all.”
“I want everyone to know that you belong with me, that you mean much more than my life to me.”
“I loved it. Thank you, i felt seen and claimed. I never thought I’d say those words, but alas here I am.”
He gently set me down on my feet and held my face. “Sabrina,”
“Yes?” I touched his wrist, caressing his skin softly.
“Would you give yourself over to me? Fully, be mine. In every sense of the word. I want you to be mine. Do you?”
I nodded shyly. “I would love that.”
He closed the space between us and claimed my lips. I kissed him back, a moan building in my throat. All evening I’d wanted to kiss him but never found the right opportunity to do so. He kissed me hard, his lips soft and yet firm at the same time.
I pulled back, a question gnawing on my mind. “Your majesty,”
He ran his thumb over my lower lip. “What’s wrong?”
“What you said…during the altercation with Zayn. Did you mean it? When you said you loved me?”
My heart raced frantically as I waited for his response. I dreaded him saying it was a fluke. A joke..something he said in the spur of the moment.
Something the king from a few months ago would have said.
“I meant every word.”

My chest relaxed and I heaved a sigh o relief.
“Is that okay? Was it too hasty to say that?”
“Say it again. Say you love me again.”
Please.
Let it not be a joke to you.
His eyes held mine firmly, his touch, his scent, his warmth, enveloping all around me.
“I love you, Sabrina. More than I could ever get into words. I would give everything to be with you, to ensure your happiness. I’m yours. I belong to you. There will only ever be you.”
My eyes turned misty and I choked back a sob.
Fuck.

Is this what love feels like? This warm fuzzy feeling, brewing in my chest and making me feel like I was walking on clouds?
I realized I have loved him. I always have. He kept me going during the dark time I was kidnapped.
I have always loved him. Yet I fought. I lied to myself. I lied to him.
I cupped his face, smiling fondly through my tears. “I love you, your majesty. Gosh I fucking love you.”
He froze, His eyes widened and his breath hitched. His thumb froze over my lip. “You mean it?”
I nodded.
“You absolutely mean this? I’m not…I’m.not forcing you say it or coercing you or…you don’t feel obligated to say it just because I did, tight?”
I chuckled softly. It was endearing to see the king, always articulate and direct stumbling over his words for me.
“I mean it. I love you, and I have been a fool not to realize it much sooner.”
He smiled, and it may have just been me, but his eyes watered. “Fuck,” he whispered.
His lips crashed into mine, hot, passionate. Stealing every breath from my lungs.
Mine. My king. My love. All mine.
