All Chapters of The Alpha King's Princess : Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

I slammed my fist into its oncoming paw, but the force of it made my arm buckle and sent me flying away from it. I landed with a hard thud, and doubt started to fill me. I didn’t understand. I had been so much weaker then. It had been before Candido gave me his blood, before all the working out I had done and all the healing over the years, but I couldn’t muster up the strength from then. Was it because I was hungry and dizzy?It wasn’t like I was in perfect shape back then! I should be able to do this now of all times. I was going to die if I couldn’t. I was going to die and never see Candido again and I didn’t want that.I was going to live. I had to live. No matter what I had to do, I had to live.I tried again, but before I could even throw a punch, it swatted me out of the air. I landed hard and tumbled. Rocks and twigs cut and scraped me, but I lifted my body. Everything in me shook. The world seemed to go in and out of focus, but I pushed myself up. I had to do this. Maybe I ju

My head was pounding. The world was spinning. I felt exhausted, but the one thing I could note I wasn’t in a bed. I wasn’t in a warm room full of familiar scents and comforts. The floor was hard and cold beneath me. I smell stale water and stone much like the cell I had been held in. Was I back there?My eyes burned. Had I gone through all of that with nothing to show for it?Then, a familiar scent hit my nose: warm, a little musky and bright with just a tinge of the scent of whiskey.It was Candido. Was he here?I craned my head left and then right, hoping to see him, but I couldn’t focus. The world kept going in and out like my eyes couldn’t adjust to the light. I turned again, but all I saw were two wooden chairs that looked like they were better off as firewood, a cold fireplace, and a few other random things. This looked more like a storage room than a bedroom or a holding cell.I lifted my head. Had Ian just moved me to torture me some more?“You’re awake.”Candido’s voice was r

I couldn’t remember much. I felt hot thought, like my blood had turned to fire while I was unconscious and I was adrift in an ocean of fire. I turned reaching out, trying to get my bearings but I couldn’t.Candido.Where was Candido?I didn’t know.I remembered that I had seen him recently.An image of him bound and glaring at me flashed through my mind, but I couldn’t hold onto it.Slowly, the world seemed to come back to me. I smelled stone, but the air was warmer. I could smell Candido near me. Someone’s hand was on my head, stroking my head softly.I grunted, trying to speak, but all I heard was a low growl. The hand stopped briefly and pressed firmly before I could try to lift my head.“Sleep,” Candido said, his voice soft and low. “You’re too weak to try to get up right now.”I tried to speak, but all I heard was a low whine. An animal whine. Then I realiz

“Artemis, wait—”“Go to hell,” she hissed. Gilgamesh lunged for her. Three members of New Moon surged to block him off.Members of Moon Shadow seemed to back Gilgamesh up.Then, the door opened.“As useful as it would be for you to all die in a fight, I would hate to waste my people’s time by having them clean up the carnage,” Ian’s voice cut through the hall. “But do go on and quicken yourself to your deaths.”Vanessa turned, glaring at him. “And what the hell does that mean?”“Moon Shadow and New Moon, while in opposition, are after the same thing,” he said. “And you’re doomed to fail.”Francia gasped as she turned to look at Ian. I turned as Ian swept through the room. He glanced at me and rolled his eyes.“What a waste of time,” he said and flicked his hand in my direction. A burst of light shot towards me.Candido turned sharply but he didn’t move fast enough. The light hit me and tossed me off the table. I shrieked, tumbling through the air and landing in my perfectly human form

He looked back at me then to Candido before shaking his head. “I’ll come with you.”Claire went still. “But Francium, you heard—”“She is my mother, Claire,” Francium said, meeting her gaze. “There are very few people I can still trust and she is at the top of the list… Not trusting her got me into all of this mess in the first place.”Claire said nothing. She turned away from him stiffly. He took her hand gently and turned her back towards him, cupping her cheek.“We’ll talk more later.” He pressed a kiss to her lips and turned to leave, following Francia.The sight of them made my heart clench with longing. I looked up at Candido wanting him to kiss me too, but he didn’t even look at me. He steered me back to the table and pushed me down onto the bench before making me a plate. He leaned against the table with a shudder as I ate. Claire sat across from us; her eyes focused on the phone she had been given. Candido was typing on his screen and the entire hall was silent.I ate, but ev
