Their Hidden Princess (Zora) novel Chapter 235

Chapter 235

Kairos fought the urge to roll his eyes.

“You ever come here?” Maximus asked.

“No,” Kairos said sharply.

Max hummed; eyes still fixed on the horizon. “Kinda reminds me of that beach we went to when we were kids,”

“The one for the High Alpha meeting?” Kairos raised an eyebrow. Maximus nodded and shifted with a slight groan. He leaned back on his hands, palms planted in the sand. He smirked and finally looked at Kairos.

“Thorne got in trouble for nicking a sword from the armory,” Maximus said. “The three of us got dragged into the meeting by the scruffs of our necks. Thorne and I stood there and took our punishment.” His smirk became a full–blown grin. “You talked back.”

Kairos snorted. “Someone had to,” he said. “They didn’t want us touching their shit then they shouldn’t have left the fucking door unlocked for us to wander in.”

“I’d never heard that room go so quiet,” Maximus laughed. “We were like, ten, and you had the balls to tell the guards they were idiots.”

“And I meant it,” Kairos said, firmly. He looked out of the corner of his eye towards Maximus. He was still grinning like a fucking idiot. Kairos huffed and turned towards the other man.

“What?”

“You ‘member what broke the silence?”

“No.”

“Lunerly.”

“No, it wasn’t.”

“It was,” Maximus half–laughed. “He looked at the guard screaming at Thorne and I and asked him whose job it was to man the armory. The guard said something and Lunerly said ‘inform him he’s been relieved of his duties. Permanently.“”

Kairos let out a half laugh. He shook his head and turned back to face front. Maximus chuckled alongside him. There was a beat where neither alpha said anything. The waves lapped against the ocean in the cold air.

“He’s not that bad,” Maximus finally said.
