Capítulo 40: Chapter 40

Betrayed by Blood~

It was evening, and I had just finished my chores for the day. All that was left was to deliver the bed linens to the King's Chambers. As I shuffled across the yard, I glanced at the linens in my hand, eager to complete this task so I could rest in my room. The week had already been eventful, and I was exhausted. Walking into the pack house, I made my way towards the stairs that led to the hallway.

The hallways were quiet, except for the faint hum of voices in the distance. Ignoring the sounds, I walked up the stairs and turned down the corridor towards the King's chambers.

My grip tightened on the linens as I reached the heavy double doors. Taking a deep breath, I raised my hand to knock softly.

No one answered.

Hesitating, my hand hovered over the door. Maybe they weren't there, and I could just leave the linens and go.
