Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 720

Chapter 720: Massacre

Screams and shouts of terror rent the air as Aldric hurriedly donned the rest of his clothes. His plan had never involved getting into bed with Islinda—or rather, the succubus demon in disguise. If he had been on alert, perhaps the intruders wouldn’t have gotten this far into his castle.

"Where are you going?" Azula asked as the dark Fae prince snatched a double-edged paragon spear from its place on the wall.

Aldric didn’t respond directly. "I’m barricading this room," he said, his tone clipped. "Stay put. After I’m done, we can talk—clothed." His gaze flicked over her brazen, naked form with a mix of irritation and caution.

Azula smiled brazenly. What was wrong with being naked? She loved being naked. Azula was very, very comfortable in her skin.

"Perhaps, take me with you," she suggested, her voice a purr.

Aldric turned to give her a long look before another explosion rocked his castle walls. He completely ignored her and walked ahead. He could tell she was strong and capable of protecting herself, but he wasn’t taking any chances. If she died, so did Islinda. Not to mention the risk of her escaping. He had not come to the point of accepting Islinda as his mate, only to lose her. No, it was not happening.

As soon as Aldric stepped out of his quarters, Kalamazoo was there to meet him.

"How did you get here?" Aldric questioned him, not expecting his arrival for a few days.

"Prince Andre was magnanimous enough to provide us with a medallion for swift traveling. He sensed the castle would be under attack."

"Us?" Aldric pointed out.

"Issac and Lady Maxi are here."

"Hmmm," Aldric grunted. His relationship with Issac and Maxi had been rocky lately, and he wasn’t sure it would ever return to the way it was. Trust had been broken between them.

"What’s the status?" Aldric asked, his shadow power lashing out to take down an enemy that attempted to sneak up behind him.

Kalamazoo was startled, not having seen the attacker coming. But Aldric had already taken care of it.

"East gate is down, and I found these strange bombs planted at our weak points. However, something tells me they belong to you, and I’ve already warned our soldiers to beware of your sneaky bombs. We are low on Fae power and, I hate to admit it, but we are outnumbered, my prince."
