All Chapters of The Alpha King's Princess : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Night fell over the estate, and I left my room to get something to eat. There was no sense in a hunger strike now. I needed my strength to move forward with finding Francium, that vampire, and avenging Claire. The guilt still weighed on me, but as I was getting my mind clear enough to do something about it, I found it easier to push it aside.My feelings about Candido were something different. His words still rattled around in my head. Fate and destiny, the decree of the Moon Goddess and all that. I thought I would never go back to doubting her existence. She’d led me to Candido and dropped me into this impossible situation.The only good thing was that Sibyl would never be his wife, but it was hardly a conciliation prize.“Where is he? I demand to see him!” It was Sibyl’s voice. I considered turning back to give her a piece of my mind, but I decided against it. I had bigger things to think about, more things to Sibyl showing up at the estate.“His Majesty has—”“I’m to be his wife! G

“Well?” Candido pressed after the man didn’t speak for a long time.“I… don’t know,” he looked away.Candido frowned, and I gasped. It all made sense now. Hadn’t Francium mentioned the fact that his father wasn’t a real descendant of the New Moon Pack’s founder? How had she faded into obscurity? Was she in the same position as my mother had been?I worried my lip and glanced at Candido. Had Candido’s mother been the same position? Was she actually a member of the Blue Moon Pack?Or was she the true descendant of the Full Moon Pack’s founder?“This isn’t the time to hide things,” Candido said. “If you know something, say so.”His shoulders slumped. “I haven’t seen his mother since I took Francium from her. I don’t think he’s there. He would know better… I’ve taught him better.”“By letting his brothers abuse him?” I asked.He sneered, “What do you know?”“Enough,” I replied.Candido looked at me and hung up. “You think he’s with his mother.”“Where else would he be?”Who she was and wh

“Fan out!”We darted down different pathways. I went with Armageddon and listened to the others getting farther away. I wondered if Bella would be killed or if the cage would keep her safe.Either way, she deserved what she was getting.I frowned, worrying my lip as I realized that she wasn’t wearing my mother’s necklace.Where had it gone? Was it back at Wolf Fang?I turned on my communication charm. “Can everyone hear me? Are you alright?”“It’s chasing us!” Dune and Apollo said. “Circle back as you can. We’ll try to lose it in the caves.”“Don’t lose yourself—”“Vampires!” Gilgamesh screamed.The hair on the back of my neck rose as Armageddon took us down another pathway. I felt someone coming up behind us. He stopped and turned, throwing me behind him before lifting his arm and swinging. A sharp crack echoed through the cave. A body dropped to the ground.A long strip of fire went through the air and sliced down.Something hissed further in the cave and he turned.“Quickly!” Armag

“Isn’t that… Sibyl of the Red Moon Pack?” I asked. What the hell was she still doing here? Candido had banished her days ago.“It is,” he said lightly. “The king banished her from his territory for assaulting his ward… But what else do you see?”Not much. I didn’t recognize the building, but a faint glimmering scrip above the door caught my eye. It was the same script as the script in the vampire book. “It looks like the writing that was on the painting,” I said. “That means it’s related to vampires, right?”“Come to the haven of the children of the night,” Armageddon said softly. “It’s used to mark safe spaces. Whether the spa knows that they’re in one of those buildings, I don’t know, but it almost doesn’t matter.”My heart lurched, “You can read it? Without blood?”“What do you mean without blood?” He asked.I winced. “I… found a book full of that script, but it’s only legible when there’s blood spilled on it.”“… Your blood?”I didn’t answer, hearing the tension in his voice. I

I tried to call the number back, but there was no answer the first or second time. I couldn’t do much with just my phone, so I headed home to try and get online using Moon Shadow. Maybe I could trace the number and narrow down an area from where the call came. If it was just a prank or someone trying to lure me, it would be one thing, but my gut told me that wasn’t the case. With Francium still missing and her body gone, it could have been her.But how? Did that mean she wasn’t dead? Did that mean she had been revived somehow? But how? And why? My stomach lurched at the thought. I had to cross that bridge when I got to it, not right now. I tried to call the number again, but there was no answer. Quickly, I snuck back into the condo and stripped out of my clothes, and changed into some loungewear. Before I could get to my laptop, the doorbell rang.It was too early for anyone from school to be here, and what would they want with me right now anyway? More than that, the security team wo
