All Chapters of The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard.: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

[Serenity’s POV]I keep my gaze fixed on Maverick’s retreating form. Even from where I sit, I can feel his emotions slamming into me, and although I want to comfort him and tell him that whatever it is that he is thinking is wrong, I don’t move. Instead, I continue to watch until he heads out of the infirmary and slams the door behind him before turning my gaze to Eleanor, or rather, Aunt Elise.“Wow,” she whistles, tearing her attention from where Maverick disappeared. “He’s pretty sensitive, huh?”“About certain things,” I admit.As long as I had known Maverick, the only times I really saw him show any type of emotion was when I attempted to hide something from him. There were also the rare moments when he would show his gentle side and even laugh or smile with me, but those didn’t happen often.“Why didn’t you just let him stay and listen to our conversation?” She pushes, drawing me out of my head as my heart begins to hurt over my inadvertently hurting the one closest to me just t

[Elise’s POV]I watch as Serenity’s cheeks turn a bright pink while embarrassment flashes in her eyes. Oh, I could almost guess what, or rather, who this involved, and since I was pretty bored having to play student day to day, I could really use some entertainment.“Go on,” I announce, dropping down to the floor in front of her. “Tell Auntie Elise all about it.”Ugh. It sounded so weird to say that, but since Serenity knew my secret, there wasn’t really any reason for me to continue playing Eleanor in front of her.“What has the gentle giant done to you now?”“It isn’t him.” Serenity says slowly, clearly trying to compose her thoughts. “It’s me.”“Please don’t give me the whole it isn’t him; it is me thing. You didn’t see just how frazzled you looked when you ran into me. Clearly, he did something to cause that, right?”“He...” she begins, but stops as her blush grows deeper. “I think he tried to kiss me.”Eyes widening, I can’t help but give props to the gentle giant for being so bo

[Elise’s POV]I look around at the crowd until I spot the twins that were recently turned human. From what I could see, it was clear that they at least knew each other before whatever happened to turn them rogue.Frowning, I examine the man standing beside me as he stares on proudly. Who exactly was this man? Was he possibly the leader of this group? And if he was, did that mean this was a pack, or were they humans?Extending my senses, I test out the area to find that these people are in fact wolves, although I kind of already knew that. But why was I here, and who was this woman I was possessing? Was the goddess trying to show me something important because, if she was, I was missing it?Why? I whisper inwardly as the man beside me clears his throat, drawing attention to himself. Why am I here?Focusing on the man, I wait while he lifts his arms and all in front of him drop to a knee.“Today is a glorious day.” The man announces, beaming. “For I have found it.”Eyes widening, I begi

[William’s POV]“I need you to be the temporary principal of The Academy until Serenity graduates.”When my cousin said this to me, I decided to do it. It would be a reprieve from the mundane and cold life that I was living as the alpha of Crystal Fang.That was why I agreed to it and came to this school during the same year that my niece was enrolling. From that day on, I kept a close eye on her, making sure that nothing happened to her while also not interfering.Even when I noticed that many of the students were isolating her, I didn’t interfere. It wasn’t my place to step in. As a future leader and as an adolescent finding her independence and place in the world, she needed to navigate that issue alone.Silently, I watched and protected, minding my own business until the day a small little sprite with a sassy mouth and a devil may care attitude came crashing into her world and even mine.At first, I thought maybe she was just overly nice and would do the same with the other studen

[Maverick’s POV]I stand at the edge of the hall, watching as William and the pipsqueak speak quietly. I didn’t mean to overhear anything, but shouldn’t they have picked a better place to speak? Anyone could overhear, and if what I just heard got into another's hands, well, I feared what would come.Deciding maybe it was best to end things before someone comes up, I clear my throat, drawing both William’s and the pipsqueaks gazes toward me. And when they realize I’m here, both of their expressions reflect shock and then panic.“Don’t worry,” I sigh, shoving my hands in my pockets and beginning to move. “I didn’t hear anything.”Ignoring their gazes, I head past them and then into the dorm, where Rosco sits with his eyes fixed on the door.“Why are you here?” He asks, frowning. “Didn’t we agree you would go to the men’s dorm?”“About that…” I begin, but stop as William’s hand clamps on my shoulder. “We couldn’t move him.” He announces, taking me by surprise. “So, he will need to stay
