“Breakfast is over for you, Gemini” King Asher said suddenly, in the middle of breakfast. “I want you in my office now.”
I frowned but didn’t disobey.
What could be the issue this time? I thought.
I breathed a heavy sigh, steadying my thoughts before I moved out with him. His strides were long and they were happening faster than I could keep up with.
Once inside his office. I slammed the door shut as I fearfully approached the seat. “Good morning, Your Majesty,” I said trying to cut down on the uneasy tension between us despite having greeted him once before breakfast
He strolled over from behind his desk and settled in front of me. His eyes narrowed as he bent to meet my gaze. Slowly his hands trailed down my face and stopped on my neck, causing my breath to heighten.
“How did you enjoy his touch?” King Asher asked, his tone dripping with jealousy.
I was totally confused and his seductive fingers weren’t helping at all. “I don’t understand, what are you talking about?” I managed to mutter, fighting the urge to melt into his touch.
His mouth reached the down of my carlobes, my body stiffened in response. “Your majesty!” I whined
“Did he screw you before leaving his mark on you?” Realisation immediately dawned on me and I quickly pulled away from him.
“What the fuck. Asher-“The words blurted out of my mouth before I could stop them
“Why Why are you surprised, did you think I wouldn’t find out?” King Asher pressed.
I scoffed in disbelief. “I know what you are thinking and if it helps your curious mind, I didn’t cheat on you!” I explained, hurt and anger brewing on the inside of me
“Really?” He said sarcastically. “So you expect me to think that the mating mark on your neck just appeared there by itself, after you went missing for two days!”
The weight of his accusations weighed heavy on me, “I swear, Your Majesty, I didn’t do anything with anyone. I was supposed to go for a ritual with your mom to fortify our bond, but then she stopped me somewhere in the dark and asked me to wait for her. I kept waiting but she didn’t return. And just when I was trying to find my way back, I realised that I had been ambushed.” I explained.
“I was drugged, Asher. Taken against my will. And then when I woke up from my slumber, I noticed my neck was burning and that was when I realised that a mating mark had been imprinted on me. I don’t know what else happencil, I can’t even tell if I was raped or not, all I could think of was to escape The words kept flowing and I almost forgot to breathe.

“I promise you, Asher, I would never cheat on you. This was obviously a set–up” I didn’t realise when tears began to
But then looking up at King Asher, the look on his face said it all. He wasn’t the least convinced.
He woɗed, bowing his head slightly as he struggled to control his anger, “Do you think I’m a fool? Do you think I haven’t investigated the matter)” He barked. “I have the footage of everyone’s movement that night.”
My heart sank at the accusations that were being laid on me, my emotions betraying me. “You are getting the whole story wrong your majesty Your mother, she called me out, she is the reason I left my room in the first place.”
He gripped my shoulder a little too tight, his eyes burning with fury “Look, enough of your ully little games.
