Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 204

Chapter 204: The Witch Returned

"No, that is not what I want," Islinda quickly rebuffed his ridiculous claim, shaking her hands and head furiously, "Kissing you was the last thing on my mind!" She made it clear to him.

But Aldric unsurprisingly twisted her words, "So you did consider the thought after all, it just made the last on the list."

"The gods have mercy," Islinda groaned exasperatedly, falling back on the bed and covering her face with her palms. When she lowered her hands, her eyes steeled with determination and she sat up at once.

"I think it’s high time you left already, Prince Aldric so I can continue my sleep. Not to mention, you have done enough." Islinda said sarcastically, and with a dramatic flourish of her arm towards the door.

"True. You need your rest," Aldric agreed.

Islinda stilled, stunned by his response. She had been expecting him to put up a fight but he gave in so easily which sounded suspicious – and didn’t seem so fun anymore.

"Well, if you say so," She blinked, recovering from the surprise, "You should have a pleasant sleep too."

Islinda watched a bit befuddled as Aldric stood up to his feet and walked towards the door without any trick up his sleeve.

"Prince Aldric!" She suddenly called and he looked at her from over his shoulder.

Islinda bit her lips at first before giving him a sincere smile, "Thank you."

"I like it better when you call me by my name without the title, darling. Makes it much more satisfying for when I would break your rebellious spirit." He winked at her.

And yes, he had to ruin the moment. Islinda’s smile fell at once. It was a great feeling becoming friends with a psychopathic Fae, note the sarcasm. Islinda shook her head in pity, Aldric could never be redeemed.

"Good night Aldric."

"See you puny human," He responded with a playful ridicule in his tone before leaving through the door and closing it behind him.

Islinda let out a long breath when Aldric left. She looked around her room and it suddenly felt vacant. Aldric had such an aura that couldn’t be ignored even if she tried to and he seamlessly lightened up the room even if his idea of fun was dry, sarcastic jokes and mean pranks.

For over a minute, Islinda stood rooted to the ground as she stared at the bed. It was the same bed she had laid on when Valerie summoned her soul.

"No, it’s all over," Islinda breathed shakily, willing herself to be brave.

She was still shaken up a bit by the incident but she couldn’t panic again. She was a brave grown human who hunted animals - even the dangerous ones - for a living, a damn witch got nothing on her! Yes, this is it!
