Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 331

Chapter 331: It Won’t Be Long

No, no, no, this can’t be, Islinda refused to believe that she just shot herself in the feet, sadly, that was the case. She had eaten the food that had been reserved for Eli, all thanks to Maxi. She should have known the horse shifter would be a great obstacle and now, everything was ruined.

"Are you feeling well, princess?" Eli asked with concern, noticing her stricken face.

"Of course, I’m well. Why wouldn’t I be?" Islinda lied through her teeth and was grateful for the fact she was not Fae. She wouldn’t be able to lie freely.

She composed herself so as not to give a single detail away even though she was full of nerves inside. Somehow, she had to get to Rosalind before it was too late. If the drugs took an hour to react inside of Eli, she was human and it would be much more potent. Islinda could not lose consciousness, not when success was close.

She had to do something.

"Why are you not mad at me for the accidental kiss?" Islinda decided to start a conversation with Eli while thinking up a plan.

Eli’s sapphire eyes bored into hers and she swallowed at the intensity. Damn, just a look, and her insides were fluttering with butterflies.

"You called it an accidental kiss, which means it was unintentional, what else do you want me to do? Moreover, you’re my princess, were you expecting I would hit you?" He asked that question while holding her gaze and she gulped.

To be honest, Eli was not far from the truth. Aldric’s reputation precedes him and though their personalities were different, it was instinct to fear him. The thought had crossed her mind but she believed Eli was better than that.

The dark Fae prince did not need to guess her answer, it was written all over her face. So he leaned in and whispered into her ear, "Don’t think that I’ve forgiven you for kissing another Fae right in front of me. But the good news is that it will be settled in bed."

Shivers ran down her spine, not just because of the sexy threat but Eli nipped her ear before retreating and her mouth felt suddenly dry while goosebumps sprang up all over her bare arms. Hopefully, the drug would take effect before he fulfills that dark promise.

Islinda would not wish for her feelings to get in the way of her plans and she had felt so close to Eli than all the weeks she’d known his host, Aldric. He can’t influence her to give up running from him.

Fanning her face to appear flustered from the gesture, Islinda reached for the glass of water and intentionally let it slip from her hand, and it poured on her dress.

"Oh no!" Islinda squealed, jumping to her feet and wiping at the wet material with her hands. She tugged her hair behind her ear, "This is so clumsy of me."

"It’s nothing to worry about, princess," Eli was not harsh on her, signaling Aurelia to take care of her needs.

"No, it’s alright," Islinda quickly said and Aurelia halted in her step, "I’ll just change out of this real quick and join you. There’s no need to fuss over me, I can take care of myself." She gave him a pleading look

This was not the first time Islinda strived to be independent and take care of herself, so Eli did not think too much about it and nonchalantly dismissed Aurelia who lined up with the others.
