The Lycan king-Chapter 24
*Leonora*
I was done with cleaning Jax’s room and all that was left was his breakfast. I didn’t know why It was taking Bethany so much time to get it. She had told me they were making scrambled eggs and toast seeing as he had requested something heavier for lunch. I paced around the room waiting for a knock on the door from Bethany. She was the only one I rally needed to see as it would help my current situation with Jax.
Everything was working out the way I wanted it to.
The door opened and Jax walked into to the room. He looked around and finally settled on the table in the middle of the room. I watched as anger flooded him and his body became tense. I didn’t know what to say because it would mean putting Bethany in trouble and I didn’t want that for her. I honestly wasn’t expecting to see him so soon. I was so used to serving his lunch, I forgot the man ate breakfast. He walked over to seat on his bed while I stood in the middle of the room. I didn’t know what to say to him.
"Come and sit beside me." He said and my body moved before I could utter a single word. I obliged to every word he said. In his room, he was my master and I was his maid. He got up and locked the door, which scared me as to what he was going to do to me. "Where is my breakfast?" He asked as he sat beside me and I pursed my lips. I couldn’t tell him it was Bethany’s fault. She was delaying me. I don’t know why she was slow. Was she expecting me to run away? This was my plan, although I didn’t expect to be in Jason’s room. I was thinking he would just fall in love with me from a distance.
"It is not ready yet." I lied as he chuckled. I didn’t know if it was ready or not. I had spent most of the morning preparing his room, especially my part where Claire poured a bucket a water on. Jax leaned over and let his hands trail over my body until it got to my neck. He gripped my neck and pulled me closer to him.
"Where is my breakfast?" He asked again as I coughed from the restriction of my airflow. "You thought you could get away with just cleaning my room?"
"It’s not ready." I forced out as I struggled to breathe. I brought my hands up and tried to pull his hands away from my neck. There was no way I was going to lie, Jax was way stronger than I was. I could see his muscles forcing its way through his chest and all I wanted to do was take off his shirt. I wanted him to have his way with me but the only clause was that he wouldn’t regret it which I know would be a problem. He didn’t want to be seen with me. He wanted nothing to do with me. He only sees me as a maid in his pack who he was cursed to mate with.
"Go to the kitchen and make sure you come back with my food. I’ll give you fifteen minutes." He said as he let go of me and I breathe heavily, trying hard to get air into my lungs. "Are you on heat?" He asked and I smiled to myself mischievously. There was no way I would be on heat and he wouldn’t know. His wolf must definitely be acting out because of how close I was. This made me feel good and powerful. I tried my best not to smile and show how happy I was because I was ecstatic. Everything was falling into place. "Just get out and come back with my food." He said as he pushed me down to the ground, causing my knee to brush against the small carpet by his bed.
I picked myself up from the floor and dusted my clothes and walked out of the room. I rushed over to the kitchen to see why Bethany had not come up with the food. The kitchen was in a frenzy, everyone was rushing around trying to cook.
"Beth? Jax is waiting for his breakfast and he’s really angry." I said as she washed the dishes as everyone rushed around me, almost pushing me. "What is going on here, why is everyone rushing?"
"Jax just changed his mind on what he wanted so we are trying to get it ready." Bethany said as she tuned around to pick up more dishes to give provide space on the counter. "Just give us like one more hour." She said and I frowned. Was this a prank? What did he think this was? I could feel my body get hot with anger. All I wanted to do was go up there and tell him how I felt but I knew I couldn’t. As much as he’s my mate, he’s still the King of this pack. Everyone is loyal to him and they respect him. Going back to his room and telling him off is disrespectful and I didn’t want to get anymore punishment.
I walked out and stood by the wall waiting. There was nothing I could do other than wait. But I had fifteen minutes. I didn’t know what Jax wanted from me. Was he expecting me to manufacture food from the heavens? I couldn’t keep up with Jax anymore. Was I going to keep on having sleepless night and fulfilling impossible tasks? Is this what he meant by I’ll know what it means to be his mate? If he did accept me as his mate, is this what I’ll be every day?
If he thinks I’ll back down, I won’t. I’m not the scrawny little girl he met a long while ago. He made me like this and he will have to put up with it.
