Chapter 50 Chapter 50 "Thank you, Joel. For breakfast." He was disconcerted, and he felt abashed. He'd never wanted or even cared to know the names of his servants before. Joel's smile grew even larger before he replied, "Anytime, my Prince." And then he turned and left Dox alone with his emotions. He turned back to the window and ruminated over this morning's events, Absently, he pulled Ben's blanket up to his nose and smelled one of the lace patterns that was inlaid at the top. Almost immediately, his Wolf turned its nose to the scent, wagging its tail in excitement. Confused, Dax dropped the material and gazed back out at the clouds. Her words from last night came back to him, and he couldn't help but grow angry. She'd been treated so poorly over the years. Abused and whipped for things that weren't even her fault. She'd been sent to Visca's for saving his life in the fire that night. He had to assume it was because she'd intervened somehow in Rebecca's plans. It was the only explanation for her being sent there. As it was still illegal to exec execute slaves without proper reasoning, Rebecca couldn't kill the girl, but she must have known how Visca would view her. A slave of Rebecca's for a decade could only be seen as a loyal spy. "She was sent there because of me." This time his stomach did spoil, and he wanted to vomit. Her mistreatment over the past year was all because of him. He had already been furious with himself as she gently trimmed away his facial hair, but when the blade fell and cut her, his vision turned red, and he almost couldn't control his Wolf as he'd run for the door. The memory of the taste of her skin and blood still lingered in his mouth, mixing with the oat and orange. Then the realization hit that she didn't come back last night. He tossed aside her blanket and strode over to her closed door. He inhaled deeply, trying to control his emotions, before opening the door. Her bed was made and hadn't been slept in. Her aroma buffeted his senses, and slowly he walked to her bed, lying across it. "You're ridiculous, Dax. The woman doesn't even care for you. I'm just a means to an end. She'd been forced into this marriage, and because it was better than anything che she'd ever had, she begged him to stay. "She seemed troubled. Had he forced her to relive some of those memories, and that's why she'd not come back last night? Furious with himself, he stood up and paced his rooms. He walked back and forth from the bathroom to her quarters for what felt like hours. He'd told her very clearly that he'd wanted her here every night. How dare she disobey him! However, anger turned to deep concern when the same guard returned with lunch later that day. He'd asked about her again, but the guard hadn't seen her. It was the head cook who delivered lunch to the guards. He only ate half of the meat and cheese she'd prepared before his concern soured his stomach. done for another What was keeping her? Was the hurt? Had his behavior last night scared her away? He'd personally healed her. It was something he'd never do person before, and the thought that it may be the reason for her absence today made him sick to the stomach again. The urge to leave his room and go find her road his nerves and his Wolf. He'd grown to hate it. It felt more like a prison at this point, and when he was well, he would make sure he never stepped foot in it again. It was late outside when she finally entered his chambers carrying a tray of dinner, and relief swept through him. She was alive and unharmed. Yet instead of greeting him with a smile, a sad frown stayed on her lips. Their normal banter was non-existent. He wanted her to tell him what was bothering ber without him having to probe, but she didn't. She sat by his bed as he ate and then disappeared without uttering a single word to him. He also noticed that she'd not come back that night. Anger fueled his dreams, and wh yet to abate. when he awoke later to the sound of his doors closing, his is irritation had However, it turned to fury when he saw who was visiting him.
