Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103: Heartless Aldric

Islinda did not wait around for Aldric, she walked ahead of him. Her eyes misted and she was not sure she could hold back the tears anymore. A lot of emotions were running through her, but the most potent of them was anger.

How dare he?! How dare they?! They had snatched her dignity and trampled it with their feet. To be honest, Aldric’s behavior was understandable, she never had high expectations of him, but Valerie.... He was her last hope. If there was anyone who should have stood up for her, it was him.

No, she needed to get away from here. Islinda had to find a way to escape Aldric. Surely, she wasn’t literally his slave and he was just bluffing. She would live the rest of her life in hiding, but would be far away from him. From them.

Islinda was cut open so her emotions were raw, and when Aldric snatched her wrist meters away from reaching their carriage, she whirled on him with rage in her eyes.

"Don’t touch me!" She tugged her wrist free, her eyes flashing, "Don’t you dare touch me!" Islinda spat out.

"You’re suddenly behaving like a feral dog. What’s wrong?" He asked her.

Islinda stared at him in disbelief before bursting into laughter. Her laughter was mirthless and was rather mocking. Was he kidding her? He didn’t know what he did wrong?

Before Aldric could comprehend her move, Islinda drew her hand back and slapped him across the face. And the gods, the slap should have been satisfying, instead it felt like she hit a wall instead and her palms hurt.

"Oww!" Islinda cried in pain, fussing over her hand. She knew his cheekbones were as sharp as bones, but no one told her it was actually made from stone.

"Are you okay?" He asked her with concern and she glared at him.

Was he seriously asking her that? She was in pain because of him! Islinda accused him as if Aldric forced her to hurt herself.

"Let me see..." He reached for her hand.

"Get away from me!" She pushed him away roughly. Islinda did not break anything - he was not made of stone after all - but her palms tingled painfully.

She hated him! He was responsible for all of her pains.

Aldric looked at her with a raised brow, "Why do I feel like your hatred level for me just jumped several notches up and you would gouge my eyes out if you had a weapon." He was teasing her, except she didn’t react to the dry joke.

"Oh." It dawned on him. "You really hate me more."

With a scream, Islinda lunged at him but Aldric caught her easily as if she were a mere child throwing a tantrum.

"Let me go! I’ll kill you today!" She screamed, struggling fiercely with him all to no avail.

Aldric grabbed both of her hands and wouldn’t let go.
