Chapter 5: _Little Witch
I stood there in front of the dining table; my hands balled beside me in silence as the Alpha King stared at me with distant eyes, scrutinizing my dress.
He held a knife which he used to dig into a huge roasted pig in front of him.
I gulped, saying a silent prayer before I stepped forward.
"Thank you for the dinner, Alpha King." I bowed slightly before drawing out a chair and sitting.
However, the Alpha king stabbed the knife into the pig, leaving it sticking there as he focused all his attention on me.
I felt like I was suffocating under the scrutiny of his intense gaze, his silver eyes glinting with an unknown light even from this distance.
"Is it custom among you witches to address your spouse by their titles after marriage?" He asked with sincere curiosity, relaxing comfortably on his chair while a maid poured him a glass of wine.
I fiddled with my fingers, struggling to even maintain eye contact with him as I coughed awkwardly before responding.
"N– No, sir. I was just trying to be–"
"Kaelos." He blurted, grabbing the glass of wine after the maid had poured it to his satisfaction and stepped back. "It's Kaelos. You're my wife, are you not?" He queried with an arched eyebrow.
My face heated up with a blush but deep down, I was seething with a mixture of rage and confusion.
