Chapter 5

Gemini’s POV

I almost had a heart attack. Why does he want to see me? What is he going to do with me? 1 took a deep breat before placing west on the door of the boardroom.

“Enter” King Asher’s deep voice commanded.

I pushed open the door, my heart racing. The room fell silent as 1 greeted everyone on board, my voice trembling

“Sint” King Asher ordered, tapping the chair next to him.

I shifted the chair further away from him before sitting, trying to create distance. But I was shocked when my chat began to move on jes on, sliding closer to King Asher.

1 gasped, my heart pounding in my chest.

“Kelax, Gemini. King Asher said, his voice low and menacing,

But how could I relax when his piercing blue eyes seemed to bore into my sonit?

The board members exchanged uneasy glances, their faces pale,

“Your Majesty, perhaps we should begin the meeting?” Elder Drake suggested, his voice laced with fear.

King, Asher nodded curtly.

“Very well. Gemini, I’ve summoned you here for a reason?

My palms grew sweaty as I clasped my hands together.

“What reason?” I asked, trying to sound brave.

King Asher leaned back in his chair, his eyes glinting with calculation,

So your Alpha and I were just talking about how much you’re worth

I glanced at Pierre, who avoided my eyes, and back at King Asher.

“I’m sorry, I don’t understand,” I stammered

He leaned forward, his face inches from mine,

“I want to own you. What does it take for me to own you?” King Asher finished, his eyes burning with interity.

My heart stopped for a bit.

“Own the?” I repeated, my voice barely audible.

King Asher’s gaze never wavered.

“Yes, Gemini, State your price, and I’ll make the arrangements”

My heart clenched as I tried to process his words.

“You can’t put a price on a person,” I protested.

King Asher’s smile grew wider, his eyes cold.

“Well said, bast 1 feet the need to

Has normal cold and expressionless face had disappeared, replaced by the look of a stomater calculating its moves.

“After all, I condo have done anything to you that night. Mark you, make you mine, and no one would dare question me. But here I am, trying t negotiate

I shok my head knowingly. “This is not a negotiation, f’m well aware of that Because whether or not I agree in go with you, you would still sakr me either way”

King Asher’s expression turned glacial. “You’re not wrong, though…

My mom shifted uncomfortably. “Your Majesty, please, isn’t there anything else you are interested in?”

“Unfortunately, no?”

His gaze intensified, his voice dripping with malice. “I’ll give you a choice, Gemini.”

My heart pounded. “What choice?” I whispered.

Asher leaned back in his chair. “Either you accept my offer and become mine.”

He paused, his eyes glinting. “Or your pack suffers the consequences.”

The room fell silent.

“What makes you think I’m worth this?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.

King Asher’s expression turned glacial. “I decide who is worth my money and who is not.”

Pierre’s face darkened. “Your Majesty, there are other beautiful girls in our pack, why Gemini?”

King Asher’s gaze snapped to Pierre. “Why does it worry you, do you both have something we don’t know about?”

The board members exchanged fearful glances.

Mom’s voice trembled. “Your Majesty, please reconsider—

“No.” Asher interrupted.

His eyes locked onto mine. “You have 48 hours to decide.”

The room seemed to shrink, suffocating me. “Choose wisely, Gemini,” Asher warned.

“Refuse, and your pack burns.”

No emotion, no empathy.

“What guarantee do I have?” I whispered.

Asher’s smile twisted. “My word. And that’s all you’ll get.”

The silence was oppressive.

Mom’s face was etched with worry.
