The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 222: Regent
I couldn’t move. The words rang through me, and I was so confused.All I could hear was Candido telling me this was my birthright. I took deep breaths and tried to focus. I looked over at Bella, who was still huffing and puffing.Then, I felt Candido’s hand on my head.“Take it easy,” he said, stroking my head. “You’re probably going to be a bit tired. Come out of the shift when it’s comfortable. I know you’re still getting used to it.”I pushed my head against his hand, enjoying the way he stroked my head. My heart sang with happiness. His voice was warm and gentle, just like I remembered from before the war.But when I met his eyes, there was nothing in them. No warmth for me, no feeling. They were just looking at me, and it chilled me. There was a brief flicker of anger and maybe something else in his eyes, but I couldn’t tell what it was exactly.He stood up, and Bella growled.“This isn’t fair,” she hissed. “I only did that because Hedy ruined my engagement!”“Hedy didn’t do anyt

Candido cocked an eyebrow at me. “No.”I set my jaw. “Why not?”“If you can’t walk, go with Wolf Fang.”“I told you I’ll be fine,” I said. “It would just be faster if we took a truck.”Candido tilted his head. “How do you figure that?”My face heated. “Cars are faster than two or four legs.”“Do you even know how far Wolf Fang is from Full Moon?” He asked. “How long would it take driving? The road conditions?”“Then, we take a cave.”“No,” he said. “The caves aren’t an option.”I stomped my foot. “Why not?”“Why does it matter?” Candido asked. “You can’t create a cave path.”“But you can.”“And I won’t.”I glared up at him. “You’re doing this on purpose. Aren’t we trying to get there faster? If you would just listen to me for once, you’d see that I’m right. You’re just trying to make it seem like I don’t know what I’m talking about.”Candido blinked at me, and I waited. Then, his lips lifted into a smile. It felt cold and cruel, and his eyes flickered with a bit of red light.“Fine, H
The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 224: Resentment
I was so mad; I didn’t even want to talk to him. How was I supposed to know that when he said the forest was on our side for now that it would get us from Wolf Fang to Full Moon so quickly? Besides, he was completely wrong. There was no way that anyone could run for a full day fast enough to cover the distance between the two cities.“I know you were just trying to make me stay behind,” I said as I walked into the room past him.Candido said nothing.“I’ll take the left side. This shouldn’t take long,” Cillian said, scanning the room.He was right. There wasn’t much in it. Either mom’s things had already been sold or given away too far to be recovered, or she never had much in the first place.I went to the back of the room to do my best to look for it. It had to be the Heart of the Room, so long as I found it first, I could lie and say that I didn’t find anything. When the Moon Goddess taught me how to use it, I’d get through the rest of my plan.We searched for what felt like hours
The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 225: Visions
Raven and Cillian went off to the side to speak, and as much as I wanted to know what they were saying, especially if it was about Estella or the Heart of the Moon, I couldn’t hear anything they were saying.“Do you know what they’re saying?” I asked.“It’s private,” Candido said. I looked up at him.“Private?” I asked.“Vampire business.”Cillian cupped Raven’s face and kissed her forehead before pulling her in for one last hug. Then, Raven floated into the air. I swear I heard her sniffle before she vanished into the air.Cillian sighed and turned back.“Are we leaving now?” Cillian asked. “And no, I’m not going to tell you what we talked about. It’s vampire business.”“That sounds even more suspicious than when Candido said it.”His lips twitched, and he looked at Candido. “You know, I take most of what I thought back about you.”Candido’s lips twitched. “Likewise.”He turned and opened his mirror. “We’ve missed the clear window for the path through the forest. Our best bet are the
The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 226: Compulsion
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Candido narrowed his eyes suspiciously.“That’s ridiculous,” I said. “That’s not a power that werewolves have.”“Most? No,” Cillian said. “Estella is more than just my chief medical officer. She’s the reason we rarely had to waste time fighting creatures on the fringes of Lunae.”Candido’s eyes widened, his shoulders relaxed, and the suspect left his face.“What do you mean?” Candido asked.I clenched my jaw. I wanted to call Cillian out on the lie, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t chance Candido telling him that Estella was dead. It was obvious that he thought Estella was still alive. Sure, he wasn’t being as nice to me as he had been before. I still needed him.He was the only person around that I could use to make Candido jealous.“His Majesty asked me to help you figure out your powers the way I helped Estella figure out hers… You’re a golden wolf, a solare. If the war is to end quickly and the way it needs to, you can’t afford to continue to be ig
The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 227: Kindness
My jaw dropped as Cillian stood and rolled his shoulder.“But I just sat down!” I said. “I haven’t even—"He looked at me. “Are you turning back?”I set my jaw and stood. “No! Stop asking that.”“I’m going to ask it every time you complain about the pace,” Candido said. “Consider it a part of all that training you missed.”I growled. “That’s not fair.”“Life isn’t fair,” Candido said. “And I’m just now realizing how much I’ve sheltered you from that. Let’s go.”He turned without another word and headed off. I looked at Cillian, who chuckled and shrugged.“This is why you shouldn’t invite yourself along.”He broke into a jog after Candido. My legs were so tired that I could barely stumble in the same direction. This time, Candido had vanished through the trees. Cillian remained closer, but as I started to slow down again, I lost sight of him.I stumbled to a stop at the edge of a grassy area. I couldn’t move another step. I didn’t even care where Candido was. I didn’t care where Cillia
The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 228: The Old Estate
The Hedwig and Candida in the painting shifted in their seats, and they both looked down at Cillian and Candido with such warm expressions that it made my heart hurt. Cillian reached up, and Hedwig reached out to him, pressing her hand to where he’d pressed his. “Stubborn woman,” he whispered. Then, the painting began to move aside. Hedwig withdrew her hand as it slid aside and revealed a large, dark, stone doorway. It was just like the doorway that had once been in the Wolf Fang house.The women’s eyes followed Candido and Cillian, but neither of them looked at me. When it stopped moving, the gust of cool, damp air filled the space. Cillian turned back. “Don’t enter the cave before I call. Let’s not test our luck, hm?”Candido nodded. Cillian stepped inside and vanished into the darkness. Candido took a deep breath and looked up at the image of Candida as she looked down at him. He placed a hand against the painting and Candida reached out to place her hand where his was. “It’
The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 229: Cots
We walked back to the stone doorway in silence. I honestly didn’t know what else I could say, but the thought of going back to the safe camp or Lunae made me depressed. When surrounded by all those people, there was no way I could get him to stay with me long enough to get him to come around.Of course, I was a bit upset that he didn’t seem excited about having the reception in the ballroom of the new estate. Just having one would be great. We really could have our whole ceremony there. I could see it now.We walked through the darkness until the air turned dryer, and we came out into the forest. I almost groaned at the thought of walking anymore, but then I heard voices nearby.Then, I saw Peter loading something onto a truck that I didn’t recognize. He’d lost his cloak and was dressed in a tank top and jeans. He was a bit sweaty, like he’d been working for hours.My eyes skimmed over the gleaming sweat on his arms before I turned away as Candido
