Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 199

Chapter 199: Accuse Aldric Of Murder

What just happened?

Islinda was left confused as her gaze roamed the unfamiliar room. One moment she was in bed relishing a certain book and the next she had been called, no, pulled to this place.

And where the hell was she? What was this place?

The room would have been completely dark if not for the candles lit at the corners. Although her sight was limited, she could make out strange objects and drawings on the walls. Some of them were fear-inspiring, while the rest were intriguing. Her nose twitched at the intoxicating smell of spices in the air that teased her nostrils and tempted her to sneeze.

Wasn’t this a dream? Why did it feel so real?

Islinda suddenly felt a heated gaze on her back and turned. And there she saw him, Valerie.

"By the gods....." The shock expressed from her lips, her eyes wide with disbelief, "How is this possible?" She muttered more to himself. Perhaps, she was hallucinating.

"Islinda...." Valerie called her name.

Or not.

Great joy burst from her chest. He could see her. This was no dream. Valerie was really here. Islinda did not wait any longer and ran into his arms. She had many questions but this was Astaria and many things were possible, she reserved the questions for later.

However, just when they were about to hug, Islinda realized that she couldn’t because she went through him like air.

"What in the Fae!" Islinda took a step back in shock, staring down at her hands that she just realized were transparent. No, only her hands but her entire body.

As if to ensure that she wasn’t hallucinating, Islinda reached for Valerie once more, her hand going through his solid form. The realization bounced around her head, first in disbelief, then in shock, and finally, in fear.

"No, no, no!" Her eyes were wide with terror, "What’s going on? Am I dead?" She panicked, looking into Valerie’s eyes for answers.

"Shhh, you’re not dead," Valerie assured, reaching to clasp her face and calm her down, forgetting that she wasn’t exactly tangible and his hands came up with nothing.

"H–how? I–I can’t touch you? What’s happening, Valerie? I’m scared." She stuttered, hugging herself protectively and rubbing down her arms. It seems being a ghost or whatever she was right now, didn’t get rid of goosebumps.

"Calm down, Islinda, you’re not dead yet. I only summoned your soul."

"You did what?!" Islinda shouted, releasing her arms.

"I can explain...." He trailed off, looking distracted for over a minute and Islinda looked around to check if there was anyone else in the room with them. But she couldn’t see anyone except....

"Fuck...." Islinda swallowed, taking a step back cautiously, "What have you done, Valerie?" She finally spotted the unconscious Fae on the floor. Although there was something different about this Fae like the slightly pointed ears and that human feel yet the female was undoubtedly a Fae.

It hit her, a half-breed.
