All Chapters of The Alpha King's Princess : Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Candido was headed back to the barracks we were staying in. No one seemed bothered by the scent of smoke. Some of them watched us run past with curiosity. The man that had been following us, trotted behind us, keeping up easily. I smelled smoke the closer we drew. Suddenly, he stopped and glared back at me. “I told you to stay there.” “I want to help.” He was about to say something when something cracked in the air. It was like lightning had struck nearby. He turned back, and I looked in the direction, and I saw a tall man, broad-shouldered with dark hair blowing in the wind that swirled around the area. He was dressed much like Ian was but with less metallic trim on his clothing. His boots were scuffed. He was wearing armor and there was a sword on his hip. He was really handsome. He looked about as old as Candido was and furious. His eyes glowed. A glimmering wall surrounded the barracks as other vampire darted inside. Ian and Raven were nearby along with Shiloh and Messiah. Non

My heart jumped and heat pooled in my gut. Images flashed through my mind, images I usually only thought about in relation to Candido, but I could see him. I could almost feel the heat of his hands on me. I didn’t… want it, but I didn’t feel like it would be the worst thing I had ever experienced.I tried to push the thought away. I didn’t know why this man was having this effect on me. I loved Candido. I’d die for him, just the same as he would die for me. We were mates, and as soon as all of this was over, we’d get married and start our life together. Yet, the thought of it flashed through my mind, and I couldn’t but think more about it.I bet… I bet Cillian wouldn’t hesitate to have me now that I was twenty. I wonder if back when I first met Candido, if Cillian had been in his place, would he have hesitated to take what I had been offering that night? I didn’t know either way. Did vampires have an age of majority like werewolves? Based on what Raven said about her life, they didn’t

It didn’t long for Claire to get to my room. I let her inside. She looked frustrated. Her eyes were hard. I closed the door behind her and looked at her.“What wrong?”“Have you looked on the forum?” Claire asked, softly, shifting her weight back and forth nervously.I shook my head.“Everyone knows I’m still alive. It’s everywhere.”She offered me her phone and I read the message. I was a little jealous. Everyone seemed to be reaching out to her, wanting to see her, wanting her to come to a party that was coming up soon. I grinned.“We should go.”“What?”“They don’t want us here,” I said. “And we’re being invited. We should go.”I looked at my phone and found that I did have the same invitation in my inbox. There were a few messages from the rugby team. I was glad they were still alive.Claire licked her lips. “Okay, but how are we going to get out of here?”“Easy,” I said.I wasn’t sure if it was easy or not, but I had to say it. I gave her some of the clothes that Raven had given

The van bumped and shook as it raced away from the party scene. I heard other people whimpering and scared around us as were jostled around.“It’s the vampires.”“I bet Claire brought them!”“I didn’t.”“Quiet!” Someone shouted. “Next one who talks is getting a bullet in the leg.”“Just let us—ah!” The gun went off and the woman who talked screeched in agony. I could smell the blood. Claire started to pant, staring at the woman’s leg.“Her eyes…”“She’s a vampire!”They shuffled away from Claire as she continued to stare at the growing pool of blood.When the van came to a screeching halt, the doors were flung open and people dragged us out. The woman who had been shot was dragged away screaming. A group of vampires forced her down and bit her wherever they could reach, draining the last of her blood.Claire panted.“We got them both.”“Good, take them to him.”I tried to struggle and fight, but the man punched me in the gut. I felt my ribs crack as pain exploded through me and the ai

I looked at Candido who kneeled beside them with a grim expression.Gilgamesh was Candido’s cousin?“Just hold on,” Vanessa said and screamed again. “What are you all standing there for? Get a fucking medic!”“It’s too close to his heart,” Candido said softly.She shook her head and looked at Ian and Cillian. “Please. You have magic. You can do something.”“It brings me no joy to tell you that I can do nothing,” Ian said grimly. “My magic is not of the healing variety.”“You’re lying!” She screamed. “You’re the one who came up with this plan!”“I merely gave you the opportunity. Extended a suggestion,” Ian said. “It may not register to you, Vanessa, but this is war. Lives will be lost, as tragic as that is.”“It’s all your fault!” She screamed. “You vampires… My son…”I didn’t know what to say or do. I considered going to Candido, but I couldn’t speak and that was irritating, so what good would it do. I turned away, stepping back. Yggdrasil glared at me, pushing past me with a bullet
