XAVI
News traveled fast, especially ones about a king almost killing his subject during practice. The entire pack was talking about it, I know, because I read a lot of thoughts from the palace alone. I paced about in the courtroom as I asked the guards to get Malik. He did not come out for training this morning. Was he with her throughout the night? Why did Shanti allow that? My hands ached to grab something and squeeze the life out of it, and it would be Malik's neck. Why was he defiling me for a mere slave?
A knock came at my door, and I halted. The door flew open, and Shanti came in. I glared at her, and she glared back.
"You sent for Malik," she said.
"And you are not Malik. Why are you here?"
"Because I won't let you punish my mate for no reason."
I chuckled sarcastically
