Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 288

Chapter 288: The Delightful Feeling

Islinda and Eli walked through the street of Astaria in comfortable silence. Although things had been a bit awkward after that conversation in the restaurant, now in the open and the bustling streets, she was more relaxed and couldn’t care less.

However, that excitement was soon cut short when someone, more like a Fae, gave her a hefty shove and she nearly fell over. Save for Eli’s quick reflexes, she would have definitely kissed the ground.

"I’m alright, I’m alright," Islinda put up a hand to stop Eli from fussing over her, a worried look on his face.

She lifted her face to see that the perpetrator Fae walked on without even an apology. Damn, the bastard. Islinda bet he did that on purpose because she was human. However, the situation was soon rectified.

All it took was a blink of an eye and the dark Fae prince went after the Fae with vengeance. Before the foolish male Fae could retaliate, Eli had already lifted him off his feet with his hand wrapped around his neck to Islinda’s horror.

Oh no, he was going to kill him!

"Aldr–" Islinda almost made the mistake of blowing his cover, since the sudden violence was more similarly akin to his host, Aldric whom she was used to.

"Eli, let him go." She begged him but her words might as well have fallen on deaf ears. Instead, his hand wrapped tighter around the Fae’s neck who had turned purple from the strangulation.

"Eli please," Islinda was desperate, noticing that they’d drawn attention as a crowd was beginning to gather. She touched his arm noticing how rigid he was and shook him slightly.

"Please, Eli, I’m fine. See?" She spun around just to confirm her perfect well-being and his intense gaze followed her.

Eli’s form was taut and he exuded a murderous energy. There was a tick in his jaw, his eyes cold and darkened with fury. Islinda feared this might provoke Aldric to surface and ruin everything.

She told him, "You said this date was so we could know each other and you didn’t want to ruin it, remember?"

Eli’s dead eyes flickered in recognition and Islinda waited anxiously for a response, her body also rigid. She prayed desperately that Aldric made the right choice. It must have been forever when he let go and the Fae crumpled in a heap on the floor. He went on all four wheezing for breath and even dared to glare at Eli. Islinda buried her face in her palm knowing this was the fool’s end.

Eli kneeled the Fae in the face and he rolled over, wincing in pain. But that was nothing compared to when the dark Fae prince stepped on his hand and the sound of bones cracking pierced through the night as he pressed down with too much force.

Islinda was a bit stunned as Eli dragged her away as if she was nothing but a child. His hold was so tight it was beginning to hurt, but Islinda did not complain and dutifully followed him. She could sense the frustration coming from Eli, knowing it had taken him a lot not to give in to his violent side and rip the insolent Fae apart. freewёbnoνel.com
