Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 243

Chapter 243: Reconcile With His Family

Upon entering through the back door, there was a warm and inviting ambiance which was shattered the instant the siblings came in with their squabbling.

"Seriously, are you not going to tell me who Calan is?" Issac huffed in disbelief when she marched on, "Are you for real, Kayla? I leave you for just a few months and you are already running wild?!"

Kayla had a lot of words to say to her brother but she rolled her eyes out of exasperation and didn’t give her brother the satisfaction of a reaction by going about her duty. She dropped off the produce from the garden in the kitchen, yet Issac followed. She then left for the living room and he still followed!

Unable to stand him breathing down on her neck anymore, Kayla suddenly stopped short and glared at him before yelling at the top of her voice, "Mother, Issac is harassing me."

"What?! What do you mean Issac is harassing you?" A shocked voice responded from upstairs immediately before footsteps rushed down the wooden stairs.

While Kayla looked smug with her arms wrapped around her chest confidently, Issac was a bit taken aback, white in the face. He had forgotten all about his mother in a bid to interrogate his sister’s dating life and now, he froze on the spot as a petite beautiful Fae came into view.

"By the gods, Issac....." The woman gasped, lifting a hand to her mouth while drinking in the length of her son, teary-eyed.

Issac gulped, his throat clogged with emotion. His hands were suddenly clammy and he rubbed them down his sides nervously as the guilt crept in. He had not given his family as much as a warning before he took off with Aldric.

There was just no time, one moment he was a guard in the palace, and the next the king had gifted him to his villainous dark Fae son. The next he was treading in the human realm and helping Aldric with his malicious plans against Valerie, not that he had any choice.

Before Issac could return, the news had already spread that he now served the dark Fae prince Aldric, and knew his mother must have heard of it. Perhaps, it was the shame, but he couldn’t find the courage to write to them and procrastinated his visits.

He assumed his mother must have been disappointed by the outcome, and didn’t know how to face her. His father was a great captain who served under the beloved king Oberon. He brought honor, riches, and fame to the family. But him? Nothing but disgrace. Issac had no doubt his future was bleak now he served Aldric unless, of course, the king reversed that or Aldric let him go. Isaac believed the latter might be in order soon considering his shaky relationship with the dark Fae prince.

Adjusting his weight from foot to foot with his face lowered to the ground in shame, he said, "Mother, I’m ...."

Issac could not finish the rest of his words because the woman pulled him into a surprisingly strong hug that knocked the breath out of his lungs. He stiffened at first only to relax into her comforting hold, putting his arm around her and leaning her head on her shoulder.

"I’m so sorry, I should have come sooner but I didn’t know how to -"
