All Chapters of The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard.: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

[Serenity’s POV]I kissed him. I kissed him. Holy shit! I kissed him.These words repeat themselves in my head again and again as I rush down the hall and then burst into my first class of the day.“What did I do?” I gasp, taking my place and burying my head in my hands. “What were you thinking, Serenity?”Shit. I acted on impulse. Was it because of what I discussed with Aunt Elise?No. I couldn’t blame that talk for what I did. Deep down, I knew that I did it because I wanted to do it, and now that it happened, what would happen with Maverick and me?Screaming internally, I hear a round of giggles. Lifting my head, I watch as some of the girls in my class watch me with looks of amusement.“Take a picture,” I huff just as Maverick enters.Tensing, I watch while he lazily heads in my direction. When he reaches, he takes his normal spot beside me. Holding my breath, I wait to see what will happen, but when he acts like normal, pulling his books out of his bag and preparing them for the

[Elise’s POV]I stare at Forrest for a moment while I try to make sense of what he is saying until I remember William’s fucking punishment he gave me.“Disciplinary committee.” I mutter in annoyance. “Right, I was put on that, huh?”“You kidding?” Forrest asks, tilting his head to the side. “How could you forget something like that in the span of a week?”A lot has happened. I think inwardly, but remain quiet outwardly.Sighing, I feel a bit of fomo starting to settle in over the conversation I was certain would be taking place in Serenity’s dormitory. It looked like I wasn’t going to be able to be present for it, and that was so damn annoying.“Earth to Eleanor,” Forrest says, waving a hand in front of my face, snapping me back to the present. “We gotta get going.”“Yeah, yeah,” I sigh, my frustration growing. “Lead the way.”Growing quiet, I allow Forrest to lead me toward a classroom where the rest of his delinquent crew is waiting along with a teacher that I don’t quite recognize.

[Serenity’s POV]I open my mouth to ask Maverick what it is that he means, but before I can, his mouth is slamming into mine, causing all rationale to go out the fucking window.Goddess, it’s like heaven erupts within me as his tongue pokes at my lips, urging them to open so that it can meet my own and begin to dance. And his hands that touch me are so fucking rough and gentle at the same time.No. A small part of me screams, trying to remind me that this wasn’t the time or place. You can’t keep this up.But I could. In the moment, I found myself wanting this to last forever because it felt like something that I wanted for so long but didn’t even realize it.Pulling away, Maverick stares at me with dark eyes while his breath comes in deep puffs.“Do you get it now?” He asks, brushing his fingers along my cheek, running delicious lines of fire along my skin. “Or should I continue showing you?”“I…” I begin, honestly wanting him to kiss me like that again. “I don’t…”I don’t get to fini

[Elise’s POV]I attempt to surge forward only to find that my leash is attached to the ground, keeping me in place while the bastard who is responsible for all this stares at me.“Who are you?” He whispers, grabbing my chin and forcing me to look into his eyes. “Because you can’t possibly be my queen.”Shit. He caught me. When it came to these damned visions, I forgot that if I wasn’t careful, those around me could tell that I wasn’t the one who was meant to be seeing.“Are you a spy?” He growls, digging his claws deeper into my skin. “Someone sent to take from me what is rightfully mine? GUARDS!” He roars, raking his claws along my skin.Cursing inwardly, I turn and watch as two men come forward while the rest of the group continue to eat. When they arrive, they wait patiently for their self proclaimed king to give his order, but before I can hear what the fate of the woman who I am possessing is, I feel myself being tugged and thrown through time and space until I’m left crashing in

[Serenity’s POV]The next day, I stand in my room, staring at my open suitcase and the clothes that I have already packed in it. It was still surreal to think that after being open for so many years, this place was actually closing its doors, and it was all my fault.Plopping down on the ground, I bury my face in my hands, cursing the ominous mark that marred my skin and what followed behind it. If only I wasn’t born with this, then this wouldn’t be happening.‘Wouldn’t it?’ Mahogany huffs. ‘Even if it wasn’t you, it would be someone else. But since it was you who was chosen, you shouldn’t sit here and play the pity card.’‘Shut up.’ I snap, bristling. ‘No one asked for your opinion.’It wasn’t only the fact that I was responsible for The Academy closing that I was upset, it was also the trouble that I was bringing those around me, Maverick included.It was because I was so stubborn and danger prone that he felt like a complete failure. Even if he did everything he could, there was no
