Wolf Princess Sold to the Dragon King novel Chapter 152

Chapter 152: Now Watch Your Husband Work, Gwen

"Take the gold! Take the gold! Take the gold!"

Mid-chant, the sky tore open straight down the middle of Diplomat Row. Guinevere pulled her face out of her hands at the sound of the crowd turning into chaos and saw the Eclipse King stepping out of a portal.

She blinked in complete disbelief. Of course. Because tonight hadn’t been enough.

"Vessel," the Eclipse King called as his fangs extended. "Come here."

Guinevere’s hand flew to her mouth, mostly because the Dark Fae King’s fangs were yellow and absolutely disgusting.

He moved.

Landon moved faster. White light exploded from his palms and smashed into the Eclipse King’s chest with a thunderclap that rattled every window in the Keep.

"YOU DO NOT TOUCH HER."

The fight tore upward, the Eclipse King’s wings spread full. Landon lifted with him, standing on what appeared to be light.

His men moved with him up to the sky, also all standing on light, just as more Dark Fae portals cracked open.

They began pouring out in droves, chanting: "VESSEL, VESSEL!"

"NO FLAME," Maddox called in the Draconic Command. "KILL BY BLADE ONLY. MOVE."

He placed himself in front of Guinevere and Kael, intercepting multiple Dark Fae coming for her.

"Kael, how you doing back there buddy?"

"Peachy. Don’t stop on my account." A wet cough. "Left. Your left, Maddox. The ugly one."

His eyes were shut, but he wasn’t wrong, there was an ugly one on Maddox’s left.

"You know what’s rude?" Maddox took a head. "Interrupting a bidding war." Another. "Now I’ll never know if he’d have gone higher."

He briefly glanced over his shoulder.

"Guinevere, eyes on me, not the sky," he said, cutting down two more. "The sky’s handled. The glowing man’s up there doing gymnastics about it. You just watch your husband work."

Renwick’s Alpha command hit Guinevere as he ran towards her.

"Time to go, daughter. Move. Now."

She immediately grabbed onto Kael. Over her dead body would she be leaving him here. She fought his Alpha command with everything she had.

"No."

"This is not a negotiation."

"I’m not leaving him."

Renwick looked at Kael, then back at her, and his expression did something complicated.

"He’s dead either way. I’m sorry. But we are leaving, Guinevere. On your feet or over my shoulder, that part is still yours to choose."

"He can hear you and is still very much alive right now, Gramps," Kael said, eyes still closed.

"You go save yourself, I will be fine." Her gold flared brighter around them both. "Contrary to what the tent seemed to believe earlier, I don’t have control over the gold fire. It does whatever the hell it wants, and I’ve burned people to death with it already on accident. They were traitors but nonetheless, I had zero control over it. So I wouldn’t piss me off if I were you."

Renwick dragged a hand down his face.

"You keep saying ’we’re leaving’ like there’s a ’we,’" Maddox called over his shoulder. "Touch her and there won’t be a we, Renwick."

Beta Draven arrived at that moment. "Princess, we need to get you out of here. Those things are chanting again. That’s all. This isn’t safe for you."

"What is the hold up," Lord Solandris boomed, storming towards them.

A portal tore open ten feet away from them.
