The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation Novel

CLOTHES FOR MY DEAR MAIDEN VALERIA She looked at me a bit surprised at first , but then quickly masked it as best she could and went back to her work .

I guess my scars were enough to stun anyone .

Clothing hung everywhere , and sewing accessories filled the display case along the back wall .

I loved sewing and embroidery .

In my free time , I had practiced a lot and was the one who always mended Dorians clothes Valeria , come with me to choose His Majestys suits , the housekeeper ordered , and I followed her deeper into the shop .

We spent quite some time selecting fabrics and pre made outfits , handkerchiefs , accessories everything And practically every decision ended up relying on my taste .

It seemed the King wanted to dress elegantly for the visit to the Silver Lake pack .

I think this will be enough , I said to the housekeeper , who nodded in agreement .

Just then , the shops owner , Mrs.

Betty , entered .

The new fabrics have arrived ! Everythings ready ! she announced enthusiastically , and for some reason , she looked at me with a strange sparkle in her eyes that sent a bad feeling through me .

Valeria , while I oversee the packing of His Majestys garments , go with Mrs.

Betty to get measured and have some dresses made for you , she stated bluntly .

At least three , Mrs.

Betty the finest fabrics , full sets , undergarments , nightgowns .

And just like that , just as rude as her master , she left me mid sentence , while a very excited seamstress practically dragged me upstairs to a private fitting room .

Undress , dear .

Lets measure those lovely curves of yours Dont worry , youre in good hands , she reassured me , but I couldnt relax when I had no idea what was going on .

Still , I had no choice but to undress , remaining only in the thin white slip I wore under my dress .

She kept talking and talking like a parrot , measuring every inch of me while chattering about trends and occasionally asking me to pick something I nodded and answered when required , though in reality , I wasnt as calm as I pretended to be .

My mind was racing with a thousand thoughts .

Not these ! I told you this morning to bring out the newest collection ! she scolded after checking the boxs +25 BONUS DEAR KÜSIDEN contents on the side table .

The poor blonde , sweating nervously , rushed back out the door .

Mrs.

Betty returned to my side , still rambling about how hard it was to find good , skilled girls for the trade .

And finally , I couldnt hold back the words lodged in my throat .

Mrs.

Betty , are you … hiring staff ? … I have experience in sewing , and Im a hard worker .

Please , you can put me on trial, I said timidly , and she looked at me , astonished .

Of course ! Im always in need of expert hands .

If youd like , once were done here , I can test your skills .

Really ? Thank you , Mrs.

Betty ! Ill do my best ! You wont regret it ! I replied , smiling , unable to believe she had actually agreed .

På resist that lustful beasts attacks even if I ended up soaked in my own panties but I would get out from under the Lycan Kings shadow .
