All Chapters of The Alpha Prince's Personal Maid : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Dorian's POV Dorian shifted back to his human form, body shaking from the pain. And like this, his wound looks even worse like this; bigger and darker, blisters forming around the wounds. He feels himself slowly slipping under, wolf still trying to fight back...but the poison is too strong, pressing over him like a dark veil. Another arrow flies past him again, but this time he's too weak to move or duck. Thankfully, the arrow doesn't hit him this time. He's groaning in the sand, limbs unable to move when he hears the sounds of several footsteps. Apparently, his howl of pain was enough to draw attention from Kayla and a few of the other selected mates who's designated wings are just on the other side. A few guards close in around him immediately, forming a tight perimeter, weapons drawn, eyes scanning the training grounds. "The Prince is down! Secure the area!" "No one gets close!" Their voices overlap, worried but urgent. The rest of the men guard the area, makin

Belle's POV The smell reaches them first, before they even reach the end of the hallway. Moldy and hauntingly depressing....like the kind of places they warn you not to wonder into. They walk down the far end of a hallway Belle hasn't explored before, an ancient but strong looking staircase coming into view. Belle shivers as they began their decent, stone steps spiraling downward, the air growing thicker and damper as they go. The sounds of the palace, the voices, footsteps, life...it all fades as they reach the last step, replaced by a heavy suffocating silence. They drag her along, the air smelling strongly of iron and maybe...blood? Belle can't pinpoint, but she has the overwhelming urge to vomit. Surprisingly though, the dungeon isn't what she expected. Its...well put together. No rusted cages, or chained prisoners, although she does see a few chains hanging from the walls in some of the cells. Each cell is simply lit by flickering wall torches, and the floors look look lik

Dorian's POV Isabella curls tight into him, holding him tightly as the final tremors finally subside. Dorian doesn't push her away...if for anything but the fastened sound of his heartbeat...but now's not the time to get embarrassed. He is still seething in rage, wolf or not. What if he hadn't come in at that moment? What if these men had... He can't even think about it. If they had touched her he would've scorched this entire palace to the ground. He feels her shift in his arms, so he loosens his hold, pressing a soft kiss to her hair before she can pull back. Her big brown eyes stare up at him, and Dorian hates the way his heart tugs in response. It used to be physical attraction...he's always thought she is one of the most beautiful women he's ever laid eyes on. And the sex? it's great too. He sometimes touches himself to flashbacks of her moaning his name. But now, holding her like this, he realizes somewhere along the line, She has grown much more important t

Belle's POV Her heart stops. Not figuratively, literally. She can't even look up, head low as Kayla rudely continues into the room without a care for their privacy. Like she knows something they don't... Belle expects her to attack her. To remind her of her warning that day in the hallway. But she doesn't. Instead she walks directly toward Dorian, dark eyes looming over him like a shadow. "So it's true..." She looks between them, and Belle's head sinks even lower. "...that you really broke our deal?" Her head snaps up so fast it almost unplugs. What deal? "What deal?" She asks, eyes dating between the both of them, brows furrowed in confusion. "It's nothing," Dorian mutters under his breath, but he refused to look at her, like he's hiding something. That makes Belle's head tilts in suspicion. "So you didn't even tell her?!" Kayla scoffs, crossing her arms. The anger in her eyes slowly morphing into a mischievous glint. "D-didn't tell me what?!" Dorian's exha

Belle's POV. The moment Prince Dorian had step out of the chamber, Belle feels like she's drowning underwater. Everything that has happened in the last two days comes crashing down hard. like waves slamming against jagged rocks. In just two days, the Prince was almost killed. She was almost abused by a group of the Queen's men. And she realized that Kayla had known about their secret...escapades all this time. That asides, news of their absurd relationship has spread throughout the entire court, and The Prince is most likely being grilled in front of his court right now. All this and the coronation has not even started properly yet! Belle had always heard stories, of royal families being built on webs of lies, deceit and betrayal. But experiencing it first hand... It felt even more overwhelming. Without the Prince's presence to ground her, she quickly slumps over with a groan, her brain already conjuring a hundred and one ways in which yesterday could have gone if th
