Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 492

Chapter 492: Aldric’s Mate Was Missing

"You betrayed me," Aldric accused, his eyes glowing with turbulent emotions.

"I did not betray you, I only interfered. You were acting like an asshole and I had to stop you from losing Islinda," she replied, tilting her head. "Surely, you don’t want that, do you?"

Aldric growled, reluctant to admit it, but guilt flickered in his eyes before disappearing.

"Release me," he demanded, pulling at his restraints.

"I have already made it clear that I won’t let you go until Islinda has some freedom without your threat looming over her," Maxi stated annoyed by his incessant demand.

"You have no idea what you’ve done. Islinda is not safe out there," Aldric told her, still testing the restraints. He had constructed this prison knowing it would hold a Fae, but he didn’t anticipate being held captive in it himself. It was beginning to get on his nerve being helpless.

"I sent Issac after her. He will help her during the time you are down here. There is nothing for you to worry about," Maxi replied calmly.

But her words were wasted on Aldric, whose voice rumbled with anger as he confronted Maxi, his eyes blazing with fury.

"You wouldn’t leave me down here like some criminal, nor would you prevent me from going after her. Islinda is safer by my side."

"That’s exactly why I’m glad I have you chained up. Do you even hear yourself? You sound like a lunatic. No wonder she’s scared of you. She needs space, Aldric," Maxi retorted.

"And you have no right to keep me hostage, Maxi. I am your prince! You are beneath me! You dare not defy me," Aldric said, asserting his authority.

"The last time I checked, we were partners. Or have you forgotten our reason for working together and wanting to create a new world for our kind, your reputable highness, the undefeated dark Fae prince Aldric?" Maxi responded sarcastically.

"And once that goal is achieved, what am I to you? Will you reject me as your king and ruler and go against me?" Aldric challenged, questioning her loyalty.

"I will serve you wholeheartedly when you become king of Astaria, but until then, you are the insufferable prince Aldric, who I will spank and correct when he veer off course," Maxi retorted.

Aldric growled a warning, "Let me go, Maxi."

But she pinned him with a steady gaze.

"Will you promise not to go after Islinda once I release you?" she asked.

Aldric looked away, making a strangled noise in his throat.

"And there’s our answer," Maxi sighed. "Take all the time you need down here, Aldric. A few days might help you realize how wrong it was to try to harm Islinda. Trust me, it will be enlightening."

Maxi turned to leave, her determination radiating from her posture. But before she could take another step, Aldric’s commanding voice stopped her in her tracks.

"Wait," he commanded.

The situation was dire. Islinda was Aldric’s mate? Maxi didn’t know whether to feel dread or hope at the thought. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
