That traitor! He should pay for what he did. I was going to make sure of it.
After several almost close collisions, and three failed attempts of not running off the stupid road, I managed to maneuver the driving technique. The vehicle still refused to remain on the road. With good reflexes, though, I was able to take back control of the wheel. Good enough, the stupid thing didn't kill me but got me safely to the Antarctican Manor.
I couldn't bear to stand still and watch Sophia die. After my attack, there was no way she would survive it. Then again, she had the King to help her. If he was strong enough to control my rage, no doubt, he would be able to save her. Deep down, I wished she would die. However, she was a human. She was unaware of all the things going on in our world. I was sure she had no idea of what he was doing to her. The poor human went in blind. And… and… this was what he did to her. This was what he did toRelated chapters
The Hidden King Aqualia
I made sure to scrub my body until it felt sore. The sight of Sophia's blood being washed down the drain made me feel disgusted. Most of it was aimed at me. Sophia and Alex were the first humans to show me what being on land was like. Without them, I doubt my knowledge of land life would be this advanced.I never would have assumed this would happen. I could have stayed away from her. I never would have been led astray by Prince Mitchalus.Oh, darn that merman!He should have kept his hand to himself. Guardian Torus made it clear Prince Mitchalus mated Sophia for more than what he relayed to me. It would mean all this time he had been lying to me. He gave me the impression Sophia was just a friend he was coupling with to blow off steam. Like an idiot, I believed every since word.Now, only for Guardian Torus to reveal even our relationship was a lie. What did he even want from me? Power. What more could it be? If we
The Hidden King Marvelon
Waiting for information about someone's health was the worst thing ever. I couldn't stand the thought of sitting around doing nothing. Feeling helpless was not in me. I had to put some distance between me and what was going on in that house.Outside near the beach had a better atmosphere. The ebb and flow of the ocean kept me calm. No tension resided here. The sea breeze cooled me down, and the water sang a sweet lullaby.If anything happened in the house, the wind would bring the information to me. A nice eavesdropping technique. I learned this trick in High School to find out what others said about me after the incident with Alex, Soph, and me. People had a lot to say about us back then. Too many theories of why we had split up. I needed to know everything.Over time this technique got perfected. Now, I could be miles away and hear a conversation. The wind could carry each voice to me. It was most effective whenever I was nearer to the sea.
The Hidden King Marvelon
I sensed Mom before her voice boomed through the walls. Whenever she was angry, it was easy to sense her rage.The irritation entwined with the air and made the atmosphere tense and hot. No one wanted to be around her when she was upset. Not even me.Her visit here was inevitable. It has been a week since Sophie was with the healer. She was still in a coma. I couldn't get myself to go see her like that. In fact, I didn't have the strength to do anything at all. Not even get out of bed.No matter how much I tried to act like everything was okay, a flood of sadness would knock me from that pedestal. I haven't been to school, nor anywhere to be exact. I tried to shake off the depression and went to sign the contract with the hotel owner. The signing was a success, but my spirit was never lifted.Construction on the hotel started. Shelly went there to instruct the workers. She was monitoring their progress. Shelly took the time out every night to up
The Hidden King Aqualia
I spotted the merman before he did me. His stance could be sighted from a mile away. It was too distinctive. I drove into the garage and cut the engine of the vehicle. He opened my door with a smile. "Hi, you're getting better at this driving thing." That charming smile. The same one he flashed me the day I walked into the shelter. Craig, that was the name he called himself on land. He had been an amazing help these past few days. I didn't know there were so many rules we had to abide by here. Craig taught me every necessary detail to live in this world. I didn't know what I would do without him. I exited the car and handed him his car keys. "Yeah, your car isn't that hard to drive. Besides, you're a great teacher." I had to park Sophia's car. Countless times, I planned to leave it at King Marvelon's house, but fear often stopped me. The thought of going there when he was home was enough to trample the idea. Instead, the vehicle was parked at the apar
The Hidden King Aqualia
No other thoughts consumed my mind but Princess Aqua's. I couldn't help but wonder why she requested my presence. No, there were a hundred reasons why she would want to see me, but was I ready to see her? Heck, no. My actions had been terrible. It was unheard of for a mate to attack the paramour. They lived in harmony. In fact, it was said the mate often felt the connection of the paramour before she coupled with the King.The thing was I never felt any kind of spiritual connection to Sophia. Yes, I liked her. She was a nice land girl, but that was it. I considered her a friend. There was no foreseeing her and Prince Mitchalus. No instant connection between our beings. Nothing. Even during and after I attacked her, there was nothing. No pain. No love lost. I was empty with nothing but rage.One could analyze this as a result of Sophia belonging to another. She was never meant to be connected to me. This had to be the reason for my sudden hate for her. It had to be.
The Hidden King Aqualia
Strange.I wasmore than nervous to enter the King'shouse. My mind kept showing me images of him being angry at me or with all three of these people ganging up on me. Despite what my thoughts were, the opposite of them happened. Guardian Shelliot didn't address me but carried on as if I wasn't there. I figured she was still feeling the impact of Princess Aqua dismissing her.Princess Aqua guided me to the room I used to stay in. She retreated to the King's room after. At dinner, he said nothing to me. In fact, he walked past me. Everyone communicated as usual and acted as if I wasn't even present. I guess it should have made me feel relief. However, it made me feel worse. If they didn't address the problem now, then they would do it later when my guard was down. That would be far worse.Unable to sleep, I convinced myself it was wise to speak with Princess Aqua. We needed to have everything out on the table. Only then could we move forward. It was bet
The Hidden King Aqualia
'Was Peter right? What should I do?'Craig allowed the questions from his mate to linger in the air. "Yeah, Peter does have a point. Marvelon may still be a baby, but we are on land. If we constantly lift the baby in our arms, he won't learn how to walk. We have to leave him on the ground for him to learn how to do things on his own. Marvelon has the responsibility of billions of creatures to think about. He doesn't have time to be spoon-fed. The most you can do now is give him the facts and let him make the moves. If he fails, let him know he has you by his side, but don't take the reins for him."A heavy sigh filled the room."Sometimes I wished we had mated," the princess admitted. The pain in her voice was loud and clear. "He wouldn't be going through this. He would have gotten the proper training and grew up among his kind."Craig pulled her closer. "His life would have been worse. If we mated, it would have made us stronger and made our
The Hidden King Aqualia
Princess Aqua and Craig both settled back down. King Marvelon shifted behind me. Attempting to ease his mind, I did the worst thing. I connected our minds, so we could communicate. It was easier than I thought."Are you okay?" I thought. "You can just think what you want to say, I'll hear it. This way your Mom and Craig won't hear us."He didn't respond but jerked a little. It had more to do with the sudden intensity of me invading his mind. It didn't seem he was used to such things.This trick was used by Royals and their subjects close to them. Persons like their personal guards, Guardian, and personal executives. Little did I know I opened our minds to something else."The star harvester has been traversing back and forth on land for the past few weeks," he carried on. "After which, one of her guards came. He hasn't left since. I believe it has a lot to do with what's going on with Alexander."King Marvelon stiffened.
