Their Hidden Princess (Zora) novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236

Zora

I cracked my fingers against the table for the hundredth time causing Valentin’s head to jerk up from the reports he was scanning. He raised one eyebrow, and I slunk back into my chair.

“Sorry,” I grumbled.

“Why don’t you go unpack?” he suggested. “Maybe take a nap or something. A shower?”

I smiled slightly at him before I trudged up the stairs and to my room. I walked in and threw my body onto the bed, much as I had hours earlier. After my second episode, Kairos had shifted and taken off. I didn’t know why but the whole thing made my stomach turn over. Why was he so hesitant towards bonding me?

A soft rapt echoed through my room. I lifted my head, expecting to see Valentin checking on me but I was met with honey gold eyes. I scrambled to get up and meet Kairos where he was lingering in my doorway.

“Hi,” I said, quickly.

Kairos said nothing.

I frowned in response and opened my mouth to explain or apologize or something. His hand came up and covered my mouth. I squeaked in shock as he did. It wasn’t a rough hold, just brash.

“Don’t say anything,” he said. “You don’t need to apologize. I do.”

I furrowed my brows, expecting him to drop his hand. When he didn’t, I rolled my eyes and gestured for him to continue. He sucked in a shaky breath.
