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
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

She cocked an eyebrow. “They might be related, but there’s no way to know if they’re compatible.”“They’re both golden wolves. That should be enough.” I swallowed. “I don’t care what you have to do, you have to keep him alive.”Her eyes drifted down to Candido with an odd expression on her face. “I’ll see what I can do,” she looked up at me. “But… there will be a hefty cost.”“I don’t care,” I said. If Candido was really being used to stabilize Solare, whatever that meant, then I had make sure that he had enough life force, that his body still remained, after that was done to wake up. “I developed a drug that strengthened wolves,” she said. “I have a feeling that it would at least help.”My eyes bulged. “You’re… You’re the one who made the drug for the vampires.”She smiled. “I am. And?”I growled at her. “You’re a traitor.”Her smile turned cold. “And you aren’t the alpha king’s mate.”She cocked an eyebrow. “Given the state of the world, do you think they’ll care?”“Of course, the
The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 249: Candido’s Wish
“It was unsure if my Beloved King would have ever risen again and to what world,” she said. “It was for the best that I changed the path.”“We’re mates,” I said again. “We’re mates. Nothing you say can change that.”“Mates,” she scoffed. “A tool for conquest. Were you not listening? The vampiric power you inherited from your mother was the only reason you could fake the moon mark. The white fur you inherited from your father turned platinum because of it. When you were no longer a vampire, after Cillian had drained the last of that power out of you, you were just a plain werewolf…”“I don’t believe you,” I said. “I won’t believe you. You’re just trying to trick me.”“Your real moon mark vanished the night that your mate died trying to protect you.”I saw the senior diving in front of me and jerking as the bullets hit him in the chest. “Him?” I growled. “No. I can’t believe that.”“Neither could your mother,” she laughed. “By the time you met your grandfather, I had already been makin
The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 248: The Goddess Speaks
I pushed at the wall, trying to get over there and drag Estella away from Candido. Then, Vanessa appeared dressed in a wispy gauzy red dress. She looked younger than the last time I had seen her. Two younger men followed her, chatting with her though I couldn’t make out what they were saying. They were dressed in red tunics. Then, I saw Claire and Francium striding towards them in red. They were holding hands. Her hair was gathered up in a flower wreath as they smiled together. They looked so happy together as they sat beside Candido and Estella. Soon, I saw other people. I saw Claire’s parents and the people I remember dying over the course of the war. They sat together in a circle around Candido and Estella, chatting happily. “Don’t be happy!” I yelled, banging on the wall. “Claire! You’re supposed to be my friend! Get her away from my mate!”No one even noticed I was there. They laughed and chatted, welcoming other people as they came to join them. Everyone else was wearing red,
The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 247: Aftermath
Weeks passed, and in that time, I made the remaining people do what needed to be done. They fixed up the building Candido and I were in. While they couldn’t get the water or electricity working, there was a roof and the floors were cleaned. They brought me food when they came to check on Candido and busied themselves with trying to contact whoever else might be alive. “Miss Hedy.”I looked up, glaring at them. “How many times have I told you to call me luna?”The man lifted his head. “Until the king confirms it, I would never disgrace the position that way.”I glared at him. “Then, I suppose you’ll be tried for treason, then.”His eyes narrowed as two people entered the room. “You’re supposed to be regent, right?” The woman asked. “You have some authority.”I lifted my head. “I’m luna.”She pointed at the man beside her. “Then tell this man that I want nothing to do with him and he should leave me alone.”“We’re mates!” He growled. “You’re not going to leave me.”“There is no mark,”
The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 246: The Brothers
When I opened my eyes, I knew I wasn’t awake. Candido wasn’t there with me. I was seated across a long table that I had never seen before. The windows were all made of stained glass. Moonlight filtered through the colorful glass and sent the colors splashing everywhere. At the other end of the table was the vampire king. He was darker than I remember, but his hair glowed the way it had in that castle. The crown on his brow twinkled with light. To his left, like an odd reflection, was Marius. His blonde hair didn’t glow, and he didn’t wear a crown, but looking at the two of them it was so obvious that he was related to the thing. Their eyes glowed the same. I clenched my jaw and glared at them both. “Where am I?” I asked. “If you think you can change my mind about—”“The time to change your mind has long since passed, Hedy,” the vampire king said softly. His lips twitched into a small smile. “The time to make different decisions is long since over.”He took a deep breath and shook h

I shook my head. “You’re lying. You have to be lying. How would you know if the door was closed?”He laughed. “It was closed to her and all the other traitors. No child of Lunae who still walks in the Goddess’ grace would be turned away from returning home.”I swallowed and shook my head. “She never got Candido’s grandfather or father… I imagine she’s burning with jealousy that you’re so close to what she wanted,” he smiled. “Or maybe she’s proud that you share the same tastes.”“None of that matters,” I said. “I’m not a vampire. I never was. I’m a werewolf. I’m Candido’s mate. Tell me what you plan is. What are trying to do? If you’re trying to hurt Candido, I’ll never forgive you.”He laughed, throwing his head back. “Why would I give a fuck about your forgiveness, traitor?”“I— ““You’re even worse than Hedwig in some ways,” He laughed. “At least Hedwig mourned Candido’s father and grandfather. At least she was faithful in her pursuit. You jumped at the chance to get as close to f
The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 244: Over
I fell to the ground, choking. For a moment, I imagined Candido stroking my hair like we were in one of the parlors at the Estate before the war. I could almost hear him reading a book to me, some book that I was supposed to read for class but didn’t want to. I didn’t remember the words. I wasn’t even paying attention to his words or the book. I didn’t care. I just loved that he was spending time with me. It was all that I wanted. It was all that I had ever wanted. I closed my eyes and let myself sink into the memory. Slowly, the darkness faded. I felt his lips on my forehead then he was gone. It was so cold. I shivered in the wind that picked up over the mountaintop. I opened my eyes. Dawn was coming over the mountain. I shook and rolled over and tried to get up. I could see Candido there. His fur was still golden. He hadn’t turned back. He didn’t move. I crawled toward him. “Candido?” I whispered. “Candido? You can’t be gone… She promised me. I… You promised.”I got to him and we
The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 243: Victory
“Fuck!”I rolled over and tried to see what was happening as I sucked in breath after breath. I choked, trying to catch my breath as I saw a glint of silver cut through the air. The man barely choked as his head tumbled through the air. His body went up in flames. Then, I saw Raven’s face. Her eyes were filled with blood-red light.She walked toward me. A flash of silver went by me and the gag loosened. I spat it out and my hands fell apart like the cuffs were broken. Her sword was aimed at me. Her expression was cold as she looked at me. Her hand trembled. Tears streamed down her face. Her jaw trembled. Then, she lowered her blade. I couldn’t believe it. I looked around, searching for someone else, but there was no one. It was just the two of us behind the barrier. Then, the wall of light shimmered and started to fade.I heard a stroke of thunder and turned as lightning fell from the sky and slammed into the side of the mountain. I smiled. Candido was using his power and winning. W
The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 242: The Vision
The fury simmered behind the tears in her eyes before she turned back to the group. They talked a little longer When they broke apart, none of them came my way. Most of them went with Wren, but the man with bandages headed toward a different truck. I eyed him suspiciously. What was he doing separate from the rest of them? Were the rest of them going to Candido and leaving him behind? Where were they going?I looked across the way as Harper and Wren and the others looked at me, glaring. Their eyes were filled with red light. They drove away, never taking their eyes off me. One of the women was crying. I looked over at the bandaged man as he hauled himself onto the back of the truck, still leaning to one side. Then, the truck I was in started to drive away. I turned back to see where were going and knew we were headed toward the mountain from my vision. My heart started to race. It seemed like we were heading to the end of the war now.“Black Team,” someone said. “En route to Gold Tea
