Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 410

Chapter 410: The Monster In Him

Elena attempted to reach for Aldric as soon as he turned his back on her but was knocked down by something. More like someone.

"Die!" The Fae screeched, his hand tight around her neck like a vice.

The suddenness of the events caught Aldric off guard, and he stood motionless for a second, bewildered by what was happening. He did not move until Elena’s piercing scream pierced the air. In a fury, his shadows burst from his body, grabbing the insane Fae from Elena with lightning speed. He only acted on his instincts

The crazed Fae was suspended in the air by Aldric’s shadows, while Elena screamed in agony on the ground. Aldric was taken aback when he noticed darkened imprints around Elena’s neck from where the Fae had choked her. Things did not stop there; her darkened skin and a gaping hole in her dress revealed more damage. Her skin looked like it was decaying.

Fear filled Aldric’s face as he saw the warning signs. So his suspicion was confirmed when he looked at the Fae with a foreboding expression. The Fae had markings on his face. It was a dark Fae.

Pandemonium erupted across the ballroom, as everyone fled helter-skelter for their lives. The scene astounded Queen Maeve and her co-wives, who immediately rose from their seats. They had not seen a dark fae attack in a long time, let alone one in the palace. Just how did he end up there? The markings should have been a dead giveaway. Unless, of course, they devised another method.

The Fae squirmed under Aldric’s control like a worm, his feet off the ground, and the dark Fae prince cast cold glances at the Faeries who had moved away from him.

"What are you still waiting for?" he growled at them. "Are you not going to take her to a healer, or are you going to wait until the corruption has reached her heart?"

Those words prompted them to action, and the Fae guard, along with some servants, carried Elena off the ground. She was wailing in pain and zoning out when they rushed her to a healer.

Now that the distractions were gone, Aldric focused on the Fae, and his two orbs darkened as his iris completely covered his scerela, revealing his dark Fae origin, and the Fae in the room gasped, taking a step back. It was the first time most of them had seen Aldric in this form, and it was terrifying.

"Who sent you?" Aldric questioned him, his voice resonating down the hall and instilling fear in those who heard it. Although the Queens did not acknowledge it, it was clear that Aldric’s aura was heavy and made breathing difficult. The king was the only Fae with such a repressive aura.

The Fae laughed at Aldric, saying, "You must think you are safe because they decreed it." But believe me, you are still cursed, and sooner or later they will turn their back on —Ahh!"

"Blah, blah," Aldric was not in the mood for such conversation as his shadow tightened around the Fae’s neck, cutting off his air supply.

"Who sent you?" he asked again. No, why were you after Elena?"

"Why are you doing this to me?," the dark Fae sobbed like a child. "I, too, am a dark Fae like you. If anything, you are supposed to be our king —"

"Apologies, but I refuse to be a part of a losing squad." His offer was turned down by Aldric. "Also, brace yourself; this is going to hurt."

On cue, his shadow twisted his ankle, and the dark Fae let out a chilling shrill sound so intense that some Fae had to close their ears.

"All right, Aldric, that is enough!" Queen Maeve walked authoritatively over to the scene.

"I do not understand," Aldric said, raising his brow at her. "Why do you want me to stop now? Were you, by chance, the one who sent him?"

"What?" Queen Maeve blanched.

Looking around the room, she could feel everyone’s gaze fixed on her. A wave of wrath washed over her; how could Aldric dare to suggest that she was hiding a dark Fae?

"Do you dare accuse your Queen of such a horrific crime?" she roared. Intense rage coursed through her body.

"It was more of a question than an accusation. If that is not the case, could you please step to the side? As you can see, I am quite busy."

Queen Maeve was on the verge of an aneurysm and rubbed the beginnings of a crick in her neck. The level of disrespect! Aldric dealt a crushing blow to her ego.

"Now, where were we?" Aldric focused on his target, ignoring the Queen’s petty demands."Yes, right, the interrogation. Are you ready to tell me what I want?"

The dark Fae’s lips trembled, his body still shivering from the first torture.

Aldric sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "You do know that I hate being delayed." fгeewebnovёl.com

"Please, P—please." The Fae was still pleading when Aldric said, "Let us keep it simple this time."

And he broke his pinkie.

Another agonized scream rang out across the ballroom.

"Stop it, Aldric! I said, stop!" Queen Maeve’s ordered. "It is a command."
