The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 43 Party
The cry for allegiance was resounding, but Candido was already gone. I was sure that he could hear it echoing through the stadium. After a little while longer, we checked out of the hotel and headed back to campus. I carried the trophy onto the bus and everyone cheered for me.“Cheers to Hedy and Claire!” The captain said.“Cheers!”I looked up at the familiar voice. It was Francium boarding the bus to head back with us, grinning alongside the president of rugby’s administration. His eyes were bright and happy. There was something in his posture that gave me pause. He seemed healthier than the last time I saw him.“Francium?” Claire asked. “What are you doing here?”“Surprise!” He said. “I’m the new vice president. We finished up just in time to see the last game.”His eyes drifted over to Claire and grew intense as he looked at her. “You were great, Claire.”Claire’s face turned bright red. “Th-Thanks…”He grinned. “We’re hosting a party for the win, and you two back on campus. The w
The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 44 Lurking
“Pandora, are you there?”“Yes,” I replied.“I am in route to the site. I need your eyes through the surveillance of the area. It’ll be flooded with the alpha king’s guards.”“I’m on it,” I said, opening the channels carefully. One of them was in Team Gamma’s truck. My heart lurched.Candido was heading there. Did he and Armageddon know each other?I opened the map of the werewolf territory and activated all the tracking beacons I could manage. I had one on each of the major security details of every alpha of the big three. Norton was heading there, as was Devon, Francium’s father. I peered into the car and found it interesting that he was taking two of his sons. I didn’t recognize either of them.“I can be there—”“No,” Armageddon said stiffly. “I need you on surveillance, not risking your life or distracting me.”I huffed. “We have a mission.”“And you’re too inexperienced to know how to suppress your wolf. You’d be a distraction. Stay where you are.”I set my teeth. It was just as
The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 45 Scolded
I had never considered there being anything beneath the academy. Was every academy like that? My heart pounded in my chest.“Miss Hedy, it’s time to….” He frowned and turned, likely hearing what I was hearing. Something rumbled nearby. I darted back towards the table.He came closer to me, and I snuck forward, following the sound beneath us. I heard something rumble and the soft sound of stone sliding against stone. I peered through a stack of books as the large portrait covered most of the back wall of the library slid aside slowly, revealing a large gaping hole.“Miss Hedy, we should go.”I ignored him, watching the entrance for something. The sound from below us grew louder, coming out of the entrance. My heart raced. I felt something coming out from below. He grabbed my arm, then the air went cold. A gut of wind swept out of the darkness. The lights flickered and went off.Then, a large hulking beast lumbered out of the darkness. I thought back to the large creature that had been
The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 46: Safety
This was the first time I was returning home, knowing that Candido was upset with me. It was also the first time that I had ever been so upset with him. Maybe I had gotten annoyed with him sometimes, but not like this. He had never hung up on me before. Did that mean he didn’t want to talk and he wouldn’t give the book back, or that he would do one or the other? There was no telling, but no matter what his intention was, I couldn’t back down. I was in the right.He couldn’t keep treating me like a child and not listening. He also couldn’t think that I would just sit by and let him run all over me. I had been in the dark enough. I was Pandora of Moon Shadow. If he knew something about the book, about the space under the school, or anything else that could help us against the vampires, I needed to know it too.There was no other way around it, no matter what he thought.As we pulled up, the door flew open, and Candido stood looming in the doorway, furious and glaring. I stepped out of t
The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 47: Eavesdrop
Candido worked his jaw for a few moments. His gaze never left mine. It might be the last time we were alone like this. I had already scanned his office, and the book wasn’t there. Wherever he’d put it was hidden, and I wouldn’t have access to his office if things were getting as bad as I figured they were.“I’ll be there in a minute,” he called and stood up. I heard Allen walk away before Candido shifted his jacket and walked around the desk, barely avoiding brushing past me.It felt cold and impersonal, but I wasn’t sure that I wanted to touch him right now, either. My pride, my feelings, and everything else in me were still smarting from his silent rejection. I wasn’t feeling much like his little girl right now. I would always be grateful for Candido in my life, but I could feel our relationship changing. I just didn’t know if it was for better or worse.Maybe this was fine. Maybe this was how it was supposed to go. I may love Candido, but the Moon Goddess had clearly intended me fo
The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 48: Ultimatum
“Do you really think now is the time to talk about marriage?” Candido asked Norton.His voice didn’t falter, but he sounded a bit resigned. I grit my teeth. If could storm in, I would and wrap my hands around Norton’s neck. He was such a slimy jerk.“You may not understand the motivations of a father, but one day you will,” Norton said. “I want my Sibyl safe and taken care of. I think we’d all feel better if we knew that the alpha king had a queen and a real family.”“What you mean is that you have no intention of rising to the threat if this doesn’t happen,” someone else said.Norton didn’t comment, but it was clear what he meant. And what the hell did he mean by a real family? I bet Candido was glaring at the man now. He would deserve it.Then, he spoke, “There many duties that the king must fulfill. War is just one of them. The Full Moon Pack has a place of prominence among us, it wouldn’t do to leave it without a proper heir for much longer if war is truly coming.”“A proper heir,
The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 49: Refusal
I couldn’t believe what he was saying. The rest of his orders drifted through my mind, but I wasn’t paying attention. I was taking notes, but I didn’t know what I would do with them. The packs were mobilizing, sure. They were grumbling a lot about the way Candido was handling everything, but he was also agreeing to marry Sibyl to get Norton to cooperate. When the meeting was over, I left the closet and head back to his office. Moon Shadow was already collecting information from New Moon’s issues as the alpha transferred it and recorded the fallout from the meeting.But I couldn’t focus.I sank down onto the cushion of the couch inside Candido’s office at a loss for words or what to do. There wasn’t enough time. There just wasn’t to find another way out of this. Norton had played a good hand, and Sibyl would be Candido’s wife if I didn’t convince him not to do this. Logic wasn’t working. My emotions might not work either, but I had to try everything I could to make him not do this.I a
The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 50: Countdown
Three days had passed since I walked out of Candido’s office. I knew that his wedding was happening soon, but I didn’t want to think about it. I wanted him to feel my absence and get used to it because as soon as they were married, I would have to leave. Maybe I wouldn’t be kicked out of the pack, but there was no way I would share the house with her.I’d just move onto campus and never come back for any reason. Maybe Claire would want to get an apartment off campus. I’d officially be a carefree adult, provided that the vampires didn’t attack and destroy everything.I avoided meals, not bothering to eat, no matter who tried to offer me food or how loud my stomach growled. I distracted myself from the hunger by focusing on my investigation into the attacks and everything I had learned from listening to the meeting.The military problem was bigger than I first thought. I didn’t want to admit it, but maybe Francium’s father was right. Mobilizing now would almost be ineffective. I sent a
