Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 418

Chapter 418: Forbidden Thoughts

"Aldric," the woman called his name softly, and he lifted his face to gaze at her. He noticed the furrow between her brows and loved that his annoyance affected her.

He could have left them alone, but Valerie’s presence bothered him. Wasn’t this what he wanted? For Valerie to fall deeper in love with her? So why interrupt their time together? But Aldric reminded himself that Elena occupied his bed, and there was nowhere else for him to sleep. This was the only available bed.

Islinda understood when Aldric was being stubborn, and this was one of those times. She couldn’t forcefully remove the dark Fae prince from her bed; that would be disastrous. Valerie couldn’t stand by and watch her struggle or get hurt either. No, that would trigger him. Islinda had to make a wise choice here.

"There are guards outside my door, Aldric," she pointed in the direction of the entrance.

"And yet he...." The dark Fae prince pointed at Valerie, "managed to gain access to your room," Aldric responded bluntly, his eyes fixed on Valerie. He continued, "His mother could be next, and the so-called guards wouldn’t stop her. After all, what would the Queen Fae have against a mere human? So no, I’m not leaving," he declared firmly.

Valerie hissed, "You are not—"

Islinda silenced him with a glare.

Reluctantly, Valerie backed off. Islinda could tell that he was holding back a lot, with the way his body trembled with the desire to unleash his burning fury on him.

"You can’t sleep on my bed if you’re staying," Islinda suddenly stated, causing Valerie to whip his head in her direction, his eyes wide.

She ignored the looks he gave her and continued, "Your role is to guard me, not sleep. Be on your feet, Aldric. That bed belongs to me. If you get tired, there’s a seat over there where you can sit."

Aldric immediately grinned, his eyes sparkling as if she had given him a gift.

"No!" Valerie roared, about to protest, but Islinda firmly interrupted him. "If you’re so against Aldric staying, either join him and guard me or you can leave." She added under her breath, "I’m very tired right now. Valerie."

At first, Valerie was taken aback and disappointed by her decision, but then his eyes lit up with the brilliance of the idea, until Islinda shattered it in his mind.

"You don’t get to share my bed either."

Valerie’s face fell.

Aldric burst into mocking laughter.

Islinda warned him, "Make another noise, Prince Aldric, and you’ll be guarding me outside the doors of my bedroom."
