Semua Bab The Alpha's Princess: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Aliyah"What's wrong, baby?" Xavier asked, his eyes locked on me. Judging by the smirk on his face, I had a feeling he already knew what I was feeling.I really wanted to read his mind, but I was scared to. I was still weak, and my strength was just barely starting to come back."N-Nothing, Alpha. Why are you here?" I asked. "What about the tournament?""Didn't I say earlier that Adrian took my place there?" he replied.Right, but why didn't he go back there? Why is he here in front of me instead?"And Jessica?" I asked."She's fine now and relaxed after I told her your sudden weakness and nosebleed weren't because of her punch."I just nodded. Once again, I remembered that shadow I saw behind her. What was that?I looked back at Xavier, who was still staring at me."You said earlier you were watching our fight," I said."Yes, why?" His interest suddenly seemed real. Did he see what I saw, too?I shook my head. Probably not. But—Argh, I don't even know what to think anymore. I don't e

Aliyah"Of course not!" he exclaimed. Pain is visible on his face. "Is that how you see me? That I would stoop so low just to sleep with any woman I want?"I couldn't answer right away because he had a point. He was an alpha and didn't need to sweet-talk any woman just to get them into bed. If he wanted, he could have as many women as he pleased, whether human or she-wolf.But even though I knew that, I still couldn't believe what he said.Me? His mate?"Is it really that hard to believe that you're my mate?" he asked."Why are you only telling me this now? There has to be a reason. I need to know what it is.""The pack is very unstable right now. With the frequent rogue sightings just outside my borders, I don't want their attention to divert to you. I want to keep us a secret until everything is settled."He's going to hide me? He doesn't want anyone to know that we're mates?"Another reason is that you're still studying, and I don't want you tied down with the responsibility of bein

Xavier"Where have you been?" Adrian asked when I returned to the pack house. He stared at me as I walked toward my office, and he followed.I noticed him sniffing slightly, probably trying to figure out where I had been. But too bad for him, I took a shower in the bungalow before returning to the pack. I didn't want anyone to smell Aliyah's scent on me. It wouldn't be safe for her."Why are you still here?" I asked. It was already late, and normally, he'd be home by now unless I gave him something to do."You didn't answer my question," he said."I didn't know I had to report to you," I replied, sitting in my chair and looking up at him."If you hadn't suddenly disappeared, I wouldn't have asked. Stelle disappeared too and came back late but only to tell everyone that she was going home.""Stelle?" I asked, confused.He nodded. "Everyone thinks you were with her. Jessica said she saw you both leaving the university after you told her that Aliyah was okay.""Jessica saw me with Stelle

Aliyah"I want to see you, baby," Xavier's text read. A smile spread across my lips. I felt the same way.Yes, I agreed to what he wanted, to keep it a secret now that I was his mate and had accepted him.No wonder I was so drawn to him. It was because the Moon Goddess had paired us together.He told me that what I was feeling was the pull of the mate bond. He assured me I didn't need to worry because he felt the same.The first time he saw me, he already knew. He said he was in the woods near the school oval that day because the wind had carried my scent to him. And thank the moon goddess for that. If not, that rogue might have killed me."Same here," I replied, smiling while typing. If anyone saw me, they'd probably think I was losing my mind."When can I meet you?" he texted again.I walked toward my department building, occasionally glancing around. My sense of smell wasn't strong, so I had to rely on my sight to know who or what was before me.It had been eight days since we last

AliyahMy relationship with Xavier was going so well. Honestly, I had never been this happy. It felt like I was living in a beautiful dream, one that I never wanted to wake up from.We agreed to meet at the bungalow at least once, sometimes even three times a week.Being with him was the best feeling in the world. I wanted to stay by his side all the time. I would want to move into his pack and live there if I could. But he wouldn’t allow it. He said he was afraid for my safety. He wanted to make sure that everything was okay before he truly claimed me.Even though I was worried because he still didn’t know the truth about me, I was a witch and a princess. I couldn’t stop being completely happy whenever I was with him. Just the thought of his smile made me feel like I was floating in the air.But despite all that happiness, something had been bothering me.The man I accidentally bumped into a week ago. I hadn’t seen him again since that day. It made me wonder if it had even happened at
