Chapter 42 "I'm not here to tell you to leave, but sanswers would be nice," he tells me. But I can't give him answers, not unless I want Rhett finding me. And what if the king believes Rhett's lies and believes I stole from him? What would happen? Would he lockup and throw away the key? "You're not going to tell me, are you?" I look at him and he looks so out of place here among the mess and in this tiny dilapidated place. Yet somehow he still manages to look graceful.

"I'll leave the moment I sort out grandma's cremation," I tell him, knowing that is coming next.

"Bree, I never said you had to leave,” he tells me, reaching for my hand, his thumb brushes over the back of my hand, I stare at his hand for a second. "Stay, you're welcto remain here,” he murmurs. Looking at him, my stomach twists in knots.

"And what happens when I don't register before the month is up, your brother wantsgone, he doesn't trust me?" I ask, making King Soren glance away.

"How about I make you a deal?" he offers, and I watch him carefully. "I will pay for the funeral." I shake my head quickly. Was he insane? “I can't accept that. It's too much." Soren's gaze softens. "Then letloan you the money. You 0.00% 288 Vouchers shouldn't have to do this alone." he says, glancing around.

I hesitate, torn between my pride and the growing pile of bills. "I would never earn enough to pay you back, my King," | admit. My tips are good, but not that good.

"As Max's nanny, you could," he offers, and I huff. He still hasn't given up on the Nanny idea? "You're not going to give up, are you?" he smiles deviously.

"Is that a yes?" he asks.

I hesitate, looking down at our intertwined hands. His offer was tempting, a chance to start over. But could I trust him? I had trusted Rhett once and look where that got me.

"I don't want your charity," I mumble, pulling my hand away. Soren looks taken aback by the sudden movement but quickly recovers.

"It's not charity, Bree," he insists. "It's a job offer. And a loan, which you'll pay back." I bite my lip, considering his words. The reality was that grandma's funeral expenses were piling up and rent which Granny was already behind on I just didn't realize. I know soon I will have nowhere to stay if I don't figure out something soon to cup with rent.

I chew on my bottom lip, considering the offer. The thought of being near Max again, to watch him grow up, it was tempting. But the idea of being indebted to the king scared 1. me.

Finally, I nod, accepting his offer. It feels like I'm surrendering, 32019 Chapter 42 288 iVouchers but the weight of the situation leaveswith little choice. Plus, it would feel great to have one less thing to worry about.

The thought of being indebted to him makesuncomfortable, but the offer is practical. "Okay, I'll do it," I agree, though a part ofscreams in protest.

"But there's two conditions," Soren adds, making my brows furrow in confusion. "You'll the castle. The led to move into condition is not negotiable. Besides, this place should be condemned," he murmurs, peering around with slight disgust.

"I worry about Max's safety if you watch him here," he tells me, and I stare around at the peeling paint of the walls and the busted furniture. "Your brother definitely would not like an unregistered werewolf in the castle, and what about full moons?" I ask him.

"Good thing my brother gets no say, he isn't the king I am," Lam still m wondering how this will work, the full moon is in a couple of days. "Can I at least cback here on the full moon, I don't trust ☐ my wolf around Max." I admit. His brows furrow.
