Their Hidden Princess (Zora) novel Chapter 219

hapter 219

The first person to do anything after I blew off all the hands of all of the atrium guards was actually the student representative. They had been over by where Thorne was sitting, utterly aghast at what had just happened. They ran over the guard that had been pinning me down and check his pulse. They looked over their shoulder at Keverow.

“They’re alive,” they stated. “Just knocked out.”

“And handless,” Keverow deadpanned.

“Gods be damned,” Thorne finally whispered.

Once they were done shaking from the aftershock of the taser, both Kairos and Maximus shifted back to their human forms. Maximus looked like he was going to throw up. Kairos grabbed me by my bicep.

“Fix them,” he whispered, hurriedly. “Like you did me. Show them you mean well.”

“I can’t,” I said back and meant it. I felt like all my power had burned out of me in that one burst of light. Whatever strength that came from inside of me had burned out like a battery being spent.

Kairos growled low. “At least they’re alive,” he grunted before dropping his grasp on my arm. “Murder is a bit harder to get out of than burning off someone’s limbs.”

I swallowed thickly. Max moved to stand by Kairos and me. He wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me close. Across the room, Thorne sneered at us.

“Are you fucking kidding me, Wolfham?!” He yelled. “Your little girlfriend burned off the hands of all the guards and you’re still backing her?! Must be some pussy, huh?”

Kairos lunged towards Thorne but was stopped by Maximus’s arm. Max gave Kairos a pointed look before turning back to Thorne. “Watch your fucking mouth, Blythwitch,” He threw back. “Did you forget she’s your fated mate too?”

“Alpha Blythwitch, what is he talking about?” Keverow sputtered.

“I renounced her!” Thorne threw out. “I severed our bond. I’m no longer under her rule. She can’t control me!”

“This is unprecedented,” Keverow mumbled, half to herself and half to the crowd.

I looked around the atrium. The rest of the students had returned to standing after they’d been cowering under their seats. They all seemed to be looking at me warily, as if I’d explode or fry them any second. I kept my hands balled in fists at my sides. I couldn’t spook them anymore than I already had.

Keverow banged her gavel, and we all turned to look at her. She cleared her throat and placed the gavel down gently. She looked at me then addressed the crowd.

“Given this situation is highly sensitive and highly unusual” she started. “I’d like to ask the members of the student body jury and assembly to keep what happened here today under lock and key. Until we determine what to do with Miss Smith, I’d like this kept from the public.”

There were murmurs in the crowd but everyone seemed to be nodding along with Keverow. I turned back to her. Her mouth was set in a thin line.

“Miss Smith,” she said, somewhat shakily. “I do not know what you are. I do not know where you came from and I do not know the extent of your powers. Because of this, I do not know the level of threat in which you possess.”

“I’m not a threat, I’m trying to help-”

Keverow held a hand up and I stopped. Maximus’s arm curled tighter around me. Kairos took a step closer to me.

Keverow cleared her throat.

“Until Headmaster Lunerly and Queen Luna can accurately assess what you are, I am recommending you stay locked away from the student body,” Keverow said. “And your academics be put on hold.”

“You’re expelling her?!” Maximus snapped.
