All Chapters of Princess and her four Princes : Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

~Bethany~I'd hoped lunch would allow me enough time to search for the Crocotta. Instead, we're given less than eleven minutes to eat in the awkwardly silent cafeteria under the watchful eyes of graduated guard Nobles who were brought in by the Liminal order.Their presence is making all Nobles antsy. I notice Hellion at a nearby table, all alone, glaring at the guards.He catches my eye and raises his eyebrows, silently asking if I've found anything about Zuri.I hold up a finger to indicate I'll need more time. Then I motioned him to come join us at our table. Zuri would have done the same for me if the reverse were the case. But in return, Hellion flips me off and focuses back on his food.Okay, he's obviously in a foul mood.Asad's gaze seems to follow mine for a second before his eye twitches. Suddenly, he winces and grips the side of his head, his breathing growing erratic."Asad?" I tense.He drops his forehead to roll it back and forth on the table, muttering under his breath

~Bethany~"Damn, she's a butterface," the tallest guy amongst them says, and my panic doubles when he reaches out and squeezes one of my cheeks hard enough that it might bruise.The second shorter guy frowns. "You think? I think she could be charming if she put in more effort. It looks like she's wearing a fucking granny fit."Mikah chuckles confidently, and fire flares to life in one of her hands. "Let's see how well Proselytes burn, huh?"Fire.Fuck.I'm going to actually die.Shit, shit, shit.But I can't even formulate a plan of how to stop this from happening because this asshole is still touching my face, and it makes it feel like every nerve in my body was just submerged in acid.‘Stop touching me.’"Not so fast," the douchebag holding my face grins, showing off his fangs. A vampire. I should've guessed. My track record with vampires is insane."I wanna see her cry.""You always like to play with these bitches," the second guy grumbles.Mikah beams. "No, Phil is right. This fuc

~Asad~ Bethany is scrubbing feverishly at her skin. The entire bathroom is filled with steam as I round the corner, anxiety curdling my insides. Normally, Bethany would be angry that I violated her space like this. But she doesn't even look up at me as I approach her, ignoring how I'm getting drenched in the shower spray as I reach for her. She just keeps scrubbing. "Stop. Bethany, stop." As gently as I can, I grasp her elbow and turn her to face me, but she flinches back immediately. "Don't." Misery fills me when I see tears in her eyes and streaks over her cheeks. But my misery is immediately replaced by sheer horror when I spot the rectangular wood laced with iron spikes clutched in her trembling hand, her blood is running into the shower drain from where she's literally scrubbed the top layers of her skin off. Bethany is always so composed and practical, but now she's shaking and in a blind panic as she scrapes herself raw. I can barely get the words out as I put the pie

~Bethany~I spot a cluster of Nobles coming closer on the opposite side of the hallway and don't want them to overhear us. "Jayan. Relax." I tell Jay.His sharp, angry breathing doesn't calm. "Who conditioned you, Bethany? Tell me. Tell me right the fuck now, or I'm-""Calm down," Asad snaps, also noticing that we're being watched, but that just earns him a sharp shove and a snarl from Jay.The other Pack is looking our way now, and I realize it's the annoying Zadrick and his cohorts.The last thing I need is for that moron to think our Pack is having a weak moment and decide to waste more of my time, so I push myself to the very tips of my toes and plant a kiss on Jayan's lips.He's so warm.Immediately, his trembling stops. His big hands naturally clasp my waist to hold me against him even as I pull my mouth from his.It's difficult to breathe since I can't seem to think about anything but those big, warm hands on me, but I force myself to give him a small smile."Be good for me and

~Jayan~"I cared for Corbin and had no idea his love wasn’t genuine until years later, when he manipulated me into going to one of the few hidden caves, and he forced himself on me. I told father, but he only congratulated his son and said I should be grateful we are each other's first. And then he said I must allow Corbin to have me whenever he wishes. That it will be a form of training or conditioning for more as well. My body is a machine to give pleasure, but not necessarily to receive pleasure."Bethany clears her throat and looks away, trying to hide the moisture in her eyes. "Corbin came to me again and again. At this point, I wasn’t even feeling human anymore. I'll just lie there and let him do his thing. He eventually got tired of my non-participation in the act-”"And then he snapped your pathetic neck," the Crocotta taunts.I ball up my fists, trying to steady my breathing. I want to kill that bitch for mocking my mate's horrifying tale, but any sudden movement right now,
