All Chapters of Their Hidden Princess: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I’m still twitched in pain as I saw motion in the corner of my vision. Next, I’m hauled to my feet. Whoever was touching me causes the electricity to return at a much lower intensity. It’s still enough that I gasp and dig my nails into the person to keep myself steady.A low chuckle cooled all the heat radiating across my skin. I whipped around in the person’s arms and looked into the face of a god.The man who was holding me is tall with shiny gold eyes. It shouldn’t have surprised me as I was standing on the foot of the admissions building for an Alpha Academy. However, they were so much different in person. They truly sparkled like a full moon.His shoulders were broad, tan and rippling with muscle. So much so that it was pulling his skin taught. He had a scar on his upper lip that curved up to his cheek bone. Below that was a single dimple, accentuated by the smirk on his face. His hair was cropped short to his head and was a deep black.He was nothing short of gorgeous.“Hello, d

He can’t, I said. Unless he was getting information from someone else outside Alpha Academy. No one here knew who I was.“Okay, damn – you kids and your chatting!” Coach shouted. “Do you even want to spar?”There was some shouts, whoops and hollers around the group. Personally, I wished to crawl in a hole and die. Sparring?“Smith!” Coach’s voice brought me out of my daydream. Loren shook me gently. I realized my face was set in a grimace, so I gave her a soft smile.“Anddddd….” Couch peered down at his clipboard. “Wolfham.”Great.Just great.Now Maximus was about to kick my ass and gloat about it for all of eternity. I looked across the sparring mat to find him waiting for me. He wiggled his fingers tauntingly and I felt my grimace return. I stomped over to the mat and took my defensive stance in front of him.“Let’s get this over with,” I sighed.Maximus grinned like a cat. “Gladly.”He threw the first punch and I managed to block it with my forearm. It stung like hell and caused m

I yanked my arm. “I’m am so sorry I covered you in mustard,” I yanked again. I wasn’t moving. “But this stupid murder game is a bit much!” With one more yank, my wrist slipped from his grip.I took off again and wondered how long I could go without being caught again. My legs pushed and pushed but I was running out of gas. The howls and snarls were getting louder. But then, a cold voice boomed through the chaos.“Enough.”All the wolves stopped, some whimpering in pain while some were still snapping their jaws. The voice was loud enough in my brain to cause me to fall to my knees, my hands over my ears. The ringing in my brain stopped and I looked up.Striding across the field was a man in elegant maroon robes. They floated across the grass like he was flying. His hair was long and wavy, tucked behind his ears. He had eyes so pale, they looked white instead of yellow. I could sense the power radiating off him. It was the same power that ebbed off my mother in sheets.He was a true Alp

Loren folded her arms around me and squeezed.“Oh thank the Gods, you’re okay! I was so worried! I though about calling the staff and asking them to stop it but then I looked up and Professor Lunerly was there so I figured maybe someone else called him but then I felt bad and—”“Loren!” I gently pried her from me. I locked eyes with her. “What are you doing in my room?”She quirked her head slightly. “Wait – your room?”I held up the key in my hand. Loren smiled brightly back at me. “Oh wow! My first roommate!” I sighed in relief.“Thank god you’re not a psycho,” I said.“Only a little bit,” Loren said with a wink. She smiled softly then launched herself at me again, wrapping me in a hug. “Well, good!” she said. “I would’ve been so upset if I lost my new roommate.”I couldn’t help but laugh. Over my shoulder, Loren finally noticed Maximus standing next to me.“Oh,” she said, unwinding from me. “Hi Max. Where are you coming back from?”I turned to look at both of them. Maximus looked e

I raised it towards him in thanks, eyes avoiding his. I looked at Loren. Her eyebrows were knitted together in confusion. She turned back to Maximus and schooled her face neutral.“I’ll see you in Combat?” she said.Max nodded. He turned his back to me and started walking back to his room. But I was unsatisfied by that. I stepped out into the hall next to Loren.“Hey!” I shouted in his direction. He whipped around and looked at me. His eyes were wide in fear but his mouth was set in a thin line. I decided to drop the electricity thing. Clearly, if it was enough to scare Maximus, I didn’t wanna know. Instead, I opened my mouth and said something stupid.“Aren’t you supposed to be my mentor or something?”Maximus choked out a laugh. He crossed his arms. “Do I look like I want to be your mentor?”“Well, no,” I said. I mimicked his stance. “But seeing as I’m the victim of this year’s hunt, I was hoping you could mentor me through it.”“I have no interest in Kairos’s hunt,” Maximus spat. “
