Their Hidden Princess (Zora) novel Chapter 218

back to step towards Maximus. They were wearing this sick smirk as they approached the main desk. They turned towards me and addressed the audience.

“My fellow students,” they said. “The evidence is unrefusable. Miss Zora Smith has seduced, sleep with and worked her way through the wolves of this campus. She has used her ancient, evil magiks to work her way into these people’s minds and make them believe they are her fated mates. Her damage to the wolves is vast. We must neutralize this threat or lest we be subject to the rule of the vampires that our great Queen fought so hard to break us out of.”

The student body cheered. The representative looked amused. They turned and gestured towards me. “This vile abomination!” They cried. “Needs to be put down! Vote for the safety of the wolves and the safety of our freedom!”

More cries echoed through the atrium. Then, two guards surged forwards and yanked me away from Kairos. Their arms pulled and shoved me with such force that I cried out. Kairos immediately was reaching out for me. Another set of guards came forwards.

Then, he was trapped. His eyes locked with mine then his body rippled and shook before his wolf tore out of his skin. Then, the big auburn wolf was in the atrium and the cheers of punishment turned to cries of fear.

“No!” I cried.

The guards slammed a hand over my mouth and wrangled me to the floor. My face pressed against the wood of the atrium floor and I watched as Kairos snarled and snapped at the guards. From over his shoulder, Maximus tore through the air and landed next to Kairos in his own wolf form. His giant black body shuddering as he shook out his fur and snarled at the guards.

He took one of them down and was going for the second when he crumpled to the ground with a pained whine. My entire world slowed down to a stop as my body took in the taser the third guard was holding. In slow motion, he jabbed his taser towards Kairos and took him down as well.

I watched two of my fated mates writhe and cry as I was pressed further and further into the floor. The anger and anxiety and worry all washed over me in waves. It set the fire burning inside me to a new height. My body thrashed on the ground but I couldn’t get free. The fire burned hotter and hotter until finally I let out a shriek.

Blinding white light. The fire inside me disappeared slowly until there was only the low hum of my power underneath my skin. I heaved a breath, noticing I was still on the floor but the weight of the guards had been lifted. I opened my eyes and took in my surroundings.

Every single one of the guards who’d been attacking myself and my mates was laying limply on the ground. As my vision came back to me, I noticed a few still twitching. I dragged my eyes over to them and gasped as I saw smoke coming from them. Their hands were all charred black as if they’d been burned by fire.

As I looked around the room, I noticed there was not a flame in sight. Nor was any of the crowd effected. They all were staring at me with horrified expressions. I turned to look at my fated mates then scrambled up from my position on the floor. I immediately rushed and ran my hands over the fur of Kairos and Maximus. They both were breathing heavily, the fur of their giant bodies moving as they went. Once I was sure they were okay, I turned to look at Keverow.

She looked horrified.

“What in the Hells below and above,” she whispered. “What are you?”

As I looked around, I wasn’t even sure I had an answer.

What had I done?
