The Alpha King’s Princess – Chapter 84

“Where shall we take you, Miss Hedy?” The leader asked me, opening the door to the jeep.

“New Moon,” I said as I climbed into the jeep. “It’s a bit of a remote place, so you might not be able to drive me all the way there.”

They looked wary, but they revved up the car and drove me toward the border. I didn’t look out the window until we reached the forest. The forest closed in around us as we entered it and drove away from the capital. The sun was beautiful, glinting off the snow. It made me think of the first time I’d had a snowball fight. It had been me and Candido outside.

He’d tried so hard not to indulge me, but he was laughing by the end of it just like I was.

Just as I thought, my phone rang, and it was Candido.

I decided to answer it. “Hello?”

“Hedy, where are you going? Why are you leaving the capital?”

“To visit someone,” I said. “He lives in New Moon. We’ve been talking about getting together—”

“Hedy,” he growled. “Are you… Is he your mate?”

I smirked. “Why does that matter?”

“Just answer me, Hedy. Is he?”

“I don’t think I have to answer that. I thought we agreed that I was growing up and deserved the space to do so?”
