HIS QUEEN novel Chapter 8

I woke up cranky the next morning. I didn't get enough sleep last night and my back ached from the way I slept. Untop of it all, I got my period today and my stomach cramped badly. I slept in a bit late this morning so I missed breakfast. I took cleaning supplies and headed to the king's room. I knocked and opened. A naked girl lay sprawled on the bed. Great. Now I was pissed. She got up and yawned as she picked her yellow dress from the floor. I thought the king hated half-breeds but here he was fucking all half-breeds within the perimeter.

I smiled sweetly at her as she exited the room. I stripped the bedsheet with anger and tossed them on the floor. God I wanted to fucking break something. Preferably the king's head. He walked out of the bathroom with sweatpants that hung low on his hips. He sniffed and looked around. I turned away from him and continued cleaning. He strode to me and turned me around.

"Are you hurt?"

"No"

"Then why the fuck do I smell blood on you"

"Why do you care? You've been ignoring me for one fucking week and all of a sudden you care? Well fuck you and...." Pain resonated through my head as I was slammed into the wall. I clawed at his hands as I tried to breath.

"Don't you ever talk to me like that" Dark spots danced around my vision. He muttered a few words but I didn't hear because I passed out.

"What were you thinking" I was slowly regaining consciousness. My head ached badly and my throat felt raw. I opened my eyes and saw Thane and his look alike. They turned towards me and he walked out of the room slamming the door. His look alike walked to my bedside and sat on the chair beside me.

"How do you feel?"

"Fine." my throat felt scratchy. He offered me a glass of water and I drank.

"I'm Jairus."he offered his hands

"Esmeralda" I said taking it.

"I know" he smiled.

"Are you Thane's brother?"

"On first name basis with the alpha I see" I blushed.

"I'm not his brother." A relative probably.

"I'm his son."

And I blacked out again.

I woke up to the sound of voices again. Jairus and another man in a white coat were talking. I lay still trying to hear what they were saying. A shadow loomed over me and I opened my eyes. The man in the white coat looked down smiling at me.

"I'm Dr.Kyros. How are you feeling?"

"I feel better"

"You had a slight concussion but everything seems to be fine."he smiled at me. He looked over my records.
