Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127: She Was In Love With Aldric

Like two people caught in the middle of a crime, their head shot towards the door, startled.

However, what happened next shocked Islinda because before the intruder could step in, Aldric was already standing at the far end of the room and she didn’t even see him move.

"My lady- oh, my prince," The intruder turned out to be Aurelia and she was taken aback at the sight of Aldric in her room.

But that was not the end because with Aurelia was Rosalind and another Fae she hadn’t cared to know her name. They were surprised too to see Aldric all alone in the room with her and Islinda watched as Rosalind’s gaze assessed the situation with suspicion.

She couldn’t blame the Fae anyway, had it been her she would think the same. While they didn’t see Aldric in bed with her, the sexual tension in the air was thick and Islinda was still trying to compose herself.

"I know what you’re thinking... " She began to explain, "But nothing happened, he was -"

Aldric cut her off, "I thought it was better to inform the human about the party myself."

Islinda’s head whipped towards him, perplexed, "What party?"

Aldric did not mention anything of such nature and her heart sped up knowing this couldn’t be anything good.

He was still not looking at her even as he offered an explanation to Aurelia, "But I obviously couldn’t do that anymore with your impromptu arrival."

The way Aldric stared at Aurelia and her entourage with intensity, it was almost as if he dared them to say or think something else. His gaze was just so fervent even Islinda felt the heat of it.

"Of... Of course, I apologize, my prince," Aurelia stammered, "I just didn’t think that you would be here and didn’t want to knock, else I startle my lady from her sleep."

"Fine," Aldric straightened up, the severity of his smoldering eyes lessening and Islinda heard the Faeries let out a relieved breath.

She suddenly felt compassion for them. How could the king sentence them to this cruel fate where they’re always on pins and needles around a mad prince that could end their lives anytime without repercussions? Islinda wished she could help their situation but she was a human in a worse fate than theirs. She needed help too.

Those fiery gaze turned on her, jolting her from her thoughts and her heart almost leapt out of her chest. What now? Islinda was sitting up and she licked her lower lips nervously when the silence continued on.

"You should not trust my brothers, especially Andre," Aldric warned her, causing her brows to raise to her hairline.

"Brothers? Are they coming back?" Islinda did not understand why he was bringing them up when he presumably sent them away and she had no reason to ever see them again.

"They will pass the night here."

Dread settled in the pit of her stomach. She didn’t like this.
