5 Tonight it won't happen

Yohana shot open her eyes and quickly turned her head to find where she was. It was Iskander's bedchamber. She realized it was morning already.

"Did I sleep here with him?" Yohana murmured and promptly checked her clothes. They were intact on her body, causing her to heave a sigh of relief. She recollected the memories from the last night and touched her lips.

"That despicable jerk!" Yohana muttered through gritted teeth, wiping her lips forcefully with her fingers. "I hate myself for giving my first kiss to Iskander," she lamented, dropping her hand to her side.

"Shouldn't you be hating me for stealing your precious first kiss?" Iskander's voice resounded in the room, startling her as she sat up on the bed. She glanced over to see him standing at the foot of the bed, his figure outlined by the thin satin robe he wore, revealing his well-built physique beneath.

However, her eyes spotted the multiple scars that had covered his body, especially his chest.

"It seems you are enjoying the view of my body," Iskander said, bringing her out of her thoughts. "Get out of my bed and quickly come to the bathhouse to help me wash," he instructed Yohana and walked away.

"Wash him up? Is he serious?" Yohana mumbled and got off the bed. She made her way out of the bedroom and found a maid standing there.

"How was the night? Did you satisfy the Werewolf King? He seemed to be in a good mood. By the way, I am Ria," the maidservant introduced herself to Yohana.

"I fainted before anything could happen," Yohana told her. She sensed that in the palace, the maidservants didn't know about her identity. So, she decided not to reveal to them who she was.

"Yohana, the King seems to be gentle on you. Usually, he doesn't like to see the woman on his bed the next day he wakes up. However, His Majesty allowed you to stay on his bed for a long time. He even refused me to wake you up," Ria remarked while smiling.

Yohana felt weird to learn that Iskander was such a womanizer. He slept with multiple women, and she was sure that he might have ordered his minions to kill them. 'What does he exactly want from me?' she contemplated.

After Ria dropped her off at the washroom, she told Yohana to do everything fast because Iskander didn't like keep waiting.

Contrary to Ria's instructions, Yohana intentionally took an hour to exited the washroom after having a hot water bath. She had changed into the regular maid's attire when Ria scolded her.

"Yohana, why did you not open the door? The King will punish us to death." Ria looked scared. Yohana felt that she needed to think about the others too before creating trouble for Iskander.

"I will not let it happen. I apologize," Yohana said humbly and told Ria to show her the way to the bathhouse, where the King was present.

"Go in and try to stay quiet," Ria told her.

Yohana hummed and went into the bathhouse.

"You made me wait for an hour," Iskander said as he waved his hand in the water. "Why do you love to defy me? As your punishment, you are supposed to go out with me for work." He tilted his head to glance at her narrowly.

"I apologize, Your Majesty. However, you are not a baby anymore. You can take a bath yourself," Yohana stated.

"Alright. Tell me how would you like to die? I think if I throw you in front of the hungry lions, then that would be better. Since you are wolf-less, it will be fun to watch you begging you to save your life," Iskander stated and straightened his head.

Yohana clenched his fist and dragged her body ahead to reach the huge bathtub.

"Your Majesty, don't get angry at me. I merely wanted you to stop being a baby," Yohana replied and held the barrel to lift warm water in it. She poured it over his shoulder.

"I heard that His Majesty never sees the woman once he sleeps with her. Shouldn't the same rule have applied to me?" Yohana asked as she rubbed his shoulders with the herbal soap.

"But you didn't truly warm my bed," Iskander stated, "So, you will keep seeing me every day. Your last night's excuses were quite amusing."

"To the front," Isakander commanded.

She moved her hand to the front of his chest while making sure not to touch his skin. Yohana never imagined she would do such work in her life. She cursed Alvaro internally for selling her to Iskander. 'It would be better if Alvaro had killed me,' she thought.

Yohana wasn't strong enough to take her own life. Running away wasn't an option either. How long would she keep Iskander away from her? He had bought her to fulfill his sexual needs.

"Doesn't His Majesty have a mate?" Yohana asked him with a curious gaze.

"What do you think?"

"If His Highness had a mate, then he would not have bought any female slaves," Yohana replied and moved to his front slightly to face him.

Iskandar held her hand and pressed it below his chest. "Wash me well instead of prying into my personal life. You already made fun of me by keeping me here for an hour," he pronounced in his intimidating tone.

"If you tell me the real reason behind buying me as your slave, I will do every work of yours with the utmost care," Yohana stated. She sensed protesting or running away from him wasn't a way to bring her freedom.

"I told you already. I love to keep unique items with me. You are a rare female werewolf and having such a jewel was something I wanted to do for a long time," said Iskander, staring deep into her eyes. He brought his hand out of the water and grabbed her chin, thus drawing her close to him.

"Because you were tired yesterday, that's why I let you sleep. Tonight it won't happen. So, be prepared," Iskander stated and lingered his gaze on her lips.
