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
The Alpha King's Princess # Chapter 51 Bite
The message that I hadn’t read from Armageddon was still in my inbox, but I just couldn’t focus enough to even think about reading it. If he was really my mate, then I had time. I couldn’t even entertain that thought more than I already had without dealing with my feelings for Candido.Rather than opening the document, I went searching through the Moon Shadow mainframe for discrepancies and glitches. I found nothing, but that didn’t mean they didn’t exist. I turned to the evidence of the attacks from New Moon that were flooding in when the chat box opened with a message from Armageddon.You haven’t replied to my message. Are you avoiding me?Yes. Yes, I was, and I wasn’t ashamed to acknowledge that, but I didn’t want to tell him that. Another message appeared.Did I frighten you? I know I can be… intense.My lips twitched, and I replied.I’m just not in a place to deal with a mate right now.I could see him trying to reply, but nothing came. I continued working through my notes until
The Alpha King's Princess # Chapter 52 Marks
My entire body was tense at the news. Werewolves didn’t bite each other to mark each other as mates. We had moon marks. Even if it was a kink, opening your mouth wide to bite someone was a bit extreme. I thought back to the photos from the attacks where people’s throats were ripped out. Francium could have easily done that to Claire if he hadn’t pulled back.I wondered why he had. The drug seemed to take over good sense. Was it because they were mates?My stomach turned. I couldn’t be sure that Francium was a part of the attack, but he could have been aiding them in some ways, transporting bodies, and so on. It would explain the blood and everything else. He was involved. Those pills were probably some version of the substance that was killing werewolves and making them crazy.I thought back to the women who had been recovered and found to be pregnant. What if this wasn’t a new thing? What if werewolf women had been stolen before, impregnated and their children were used to infiltrate
The Alpha King's Princess # Chapter 53 Silence
“Do you think he’d talk to you about it all?”Claire glanced at me. “Do you think it would be safe to ask?”I shook my head. “I still say it’s better for you to stay away from him for now…. You could stay at the estate. Classes have been cancelled for practically the rest of the semester. You could just come home.”Claire shook her head, lowering her head. “I can’t… I don’t want to.”Her voice trembled on the edge and I sighed. “Well… then, how about chaperoned visits?”Claire scoffed. “What am I ten?”“No, but you’re in danger. At least this way, you could still see him. We could… do double dates or something.”“With you and His Majesty?”I scoffed. “No.”“Then who?” She quirked an eyebrow at him. “Who would you really want sitting next to you on a double date?”I wrinkled my nose. “No one. Not really, but this isn’t about me. It’s about you.”Until I could investigate Francium and his family more thoroughly it was really the best option.Claire nodded, “You’re a good friend. I’ll… I
The Alpha King's Princess # Chapter 54 Cheater
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing or what I was seeing. I leaned back around to be sure I wasn’t wrong, but there was no mistaking it. He was shorter, slimmer, and much paler than Candido, with lighter hair. While he was still taller than Sibyl, even in her heels, he wasn’t as tall as Candido. I pulled my phone out, aiming it at the sight and pressing record. I zoomed in to make sure I got their faces and focused my hearing to get every bit of their conversation.Was he in league with the vampires or just Sibyl’s lover? Who else would benefit from getting Sibyl on the throne quickly other than Norton?“But… But I’m so close,” she said. “Oh, please…”“That’s what you get for being over-eager. What if your father comes out here and catches you?”“Oh, he already knows, you know that,” Sibyl said. “Everything will be fine. Don’t tease me like this.”“And Candido?”“My father will keep him busy for a long time. Hours. Candido’s going to fight to the end to hash out all the details and
The Alpha King's Princess # Chapter 55 Stranger
I could try to run, but nothing in me said it was a good idea. It would be better to try and get as much as I could out of this man. Slowly, I rose to my feet, stepping just out of the shadow of the tree, but no further. If I distracted him, I could hope to outrun him, but that was a slim chance. He’d darted over her so fast. Before I even managed to push my power, I would be caught, but maybe I could fight him off enough to get closer to the house to alert security. There had to be a guard around here.If not Candido’s guards, then there was definitely a Moon Shadow person around. I’d had them tailing the Red Moon cars for a while. Someone would be nearby. I had my safety beacon on, so at least if I died here, someone would find me, but I didn’t feel like he was going to kill me tonight.At least, I hoped he wasn’t.“You’re much prettier up close,” he said, looking at me. “That golden hair of yours is really something. I thought it might be a dye job, but your eyebrows are about the
