The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 27 Mystery
After I had cried my heart out, I returned to the Estate, found something to eat in the kitchens, and retreated to my room for a hot bath. I felt calmer, steadier like I could push away the sadness if I tried hard enough. Candido wasn’t home, so it made it somewhat easier. I didn’t have to catch the scent of his cologne in the hallway and think about what I wouldn’t have with him.I sunk into the bathtub and closed my eyes.My feelings aside, the situation with the former Alpha King was troubling. How had vampires managed to infiltrate the estate? Weren’t their guards? Secret passageways to escape by that only pack members would know? Wasn’t the former alpha king a great warrior?I frowned and sat up. Was Candido’s father actually the former alpha king? The title referred to the alpha of the biggest pack with the biggest territory, but the Full Moon Pack had been much smaller before Candido took over.The Full Moon Pack was one of the oldest packs, one of the first that was mentioned

He quirked an eyebrow at me as I stared up at him and licked my lips. My mouth was draw and I felt that heat from back in the forest rushing through me. His eyes started to fill with moonlight, though he didn’t move.Then, I thought of Sibyl and pulled back. I didn’t know what to do with myself or what to say. I wanted to ask about the vampire, about his father, about the woman in the photo too, but I couldn’t manage the words.“Are you okay?”My lips twitched. “Why wouldn’t I be?”I reached for the glass, letting our hands brush against each other. I felt the zing of attraction shoot through me as I pulled the milk towards me. I lifted the glass to my mouth and started to drink. He never took his eyes off me. The moonlight in his eyes didn’t fade as he watched me.When the glass was empty, I offered the glass back to him.He didn’t move. For a moment, we just stared at each other. The hyper-awareness returned anew and my eyes trailed over the skin of his chest. I heard his heartbeat
The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 29 Promise
I watched the investigation develop for an hour before it was clear that everything else would have to come from the autopsy reports. They found a total of thirty bodies. There were signs of a struggle, but none of the victims were vampires. Whether that was because vampires really turned into ash when they were killed or if they just escaped with their wounded, I couldn’t know. Every victim was drained of blood, but their wounds didn’t make complete sense.Some of them had neat puncture wounds. Others looked like they had their throats torn out by a wild animal that also drank their blood. Aside from how they died, who the victims were and how they died would tell me a lot. For now, all I could tell was that there were at least two attackers. Based on the attack styles, it was possible that there was more than one kind of vampire out there.The more I looked, the more I felt like the quick message I sent to Armageddon had been more like a pre-brief. He didn’t reply to me, but I didn’
The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 30 Traces
I chased after Candido for what felt like hours. We ran around the Estate several times before we left the nearby area and went further into the forest. We didn’t talk, but I felt the tension between us fading. When I caught up to him finally, at the edge of a stream he turned to me, his chest heaving. His eyes were bright and filled with moonlight.“Your turn,” he said. “I’ll give you a ten second head start.”“Ten seconds?” I cried back away from him. “That’s hardly fair!”“You’re wasting time,” he said, leaning forward with a predatory smirk. “Make it a good hunt, little one.”I shivered. I wanted to protest, but my body turned sharply, obeying before I could think more about it and taking off into the forest. Maybe I had used a bit of my power, but I couldn’t be sure. That hyper-aware feeling was growing fainter the farther I ran, but soon, it started to grow stronger again. I turned sharply, taking off across a river, jumping from rock to rock to confuse him before running into t
The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 31 Sibyl
Several weeks passed since I learned about Candido and Sibyl’s engagement. While he left the Estate relatively often, he was always there for breakfast, dinner, and to train with me. For a while, it felt like I could forget that it was even happening.The investigation of the Moon Shadow attack, the other attacks on werewolf land, the book, and what was happening on campus were all on hold. No more damage appeared in the school and things were oddly quiet.“What are you thinking about so hard?” Candido asked.I lifted my head and smiled across the table at him. Allen was gone. We were all alone at breakfast. It felt a little bit like a date except we were in out pajamas. I chuckled.“You need more fun pajamas.”He quirked an eyebrow. “I’ll leave the fun pajamas to you.”I laughed. “You’ll cave. I’m going to buy you something with… penguins or something for you.”“Penguins?” He asked. “No.”“Cats?”“No.”I grinned, “Penguins and cats. Got it.”He rolled his eyes. “I’m not wearing anyth
The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 32 Another Murder
Sibyl growled at me as she passed, gesturing to her guards. When they were gone, I lifted the phone to my ear.“I’m reporting this to His Majesty.”“Wait,” I said, taking a deep breath. This wouldn’t be enough. Candido’s honor would push him to try and fix our problems with each other, not back out of the deal. “Just wait for it. Could you pick me up lunch? I’m going for a run.”“… as you wish, Miss Hedy.”I walked outside, dropped my bag on the stands of the running track, and broke into a run as fast as I could manage, hoping to focus on something more than my anger.Sibyl was evil, and she was blaming me for everything that was going on with Candido. While I was happy that things weren’t going well for her with Candido, I couldn’t help but be frustrated because Candido was too honorable to back out of this marriage.As I finished my run, I slowed to a stop several feet away from where I had left my bag.In place of the leader of Team Gamma-2 or the guard that followed me around sch
The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 33 Blood
I turned over the discovery and pushed the analyst team in my mind. It had been a few weeks since the analysis was complete, but there still wasn’t any further progress. There had been more murders across the territories, and they had all been getting closer and closer to Candido’s territory. There had been over twenty cases, and if they were all connected to the death of the former alpha king and the Blue Moon Pack, wherever they were, then it was just a matter of time before I figured out the bottom of all of this.I crossed the room to my closet to figure out what I was going to wear tomorrow and stopped as I caught sight of myself in the mirror. I had been so preoccupied with the investigations that I hadn’t been weighing myself or measuring my waistline. My clothes were hanging off me now, a full size too big, at least if not more.I pulled out a pair of jeans and slid into them, happy, and a bit horrified that there was so much space in them. If only I’d been paying more attenti
The Alpha King's Princess #Chapter 34 Rugby
After the little celebration, Candido walked me back to my room and said goodnight. I wouldn’t be drinking milk mixed with his blood any longer. I was at once grateful and a little sad. It felt like I was losing just a bit of the connection I had with him. It felt like it was just the beginning of losing that connection too. First, it would be the blood. Then, I wouldn’t see him as much. Then, he’d be married to Sibyl. Even if he wasn’t married to Sibyl yet, I still hadn’t gotten him to see me as more than just a little girl. Sure, there had been some heated moments between us, but that had all been instinct. The wolf in him recognized me as a woman, but he didn’t and that was the problemI huffed, trying not to think about it too much more. I opened every bag he’d brought. There were casual dresses along with a few cocktail dresses. I wondered if he planned to take me out more often. I did notice that the clothes were in different colors than they had been when I was bigger. I didn’t
