Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 244

Chapter 244: Broken Trust

What in the Fae?

Issac stood frozen at the spot, wide-eyed, even as those lips pressed firmly to his. Everything happened too fast for him to comprehend. But he knew her, she was his childhood friend, Anya.

As if finding his bearings, Issac latched onto her shoulder and pulled away, breathing hard. While his eyes were filled with surprise and confusion, she looked fascinated and ecstatic to see him, a flush on her face.

"Issac," Anya chuckled, crinkles forming in the corner of her eyes.

Indeed, someone was delighted to see him. Not that Issac could say the same.

"Anya," Issac said, a knot in his belly. He obviously did not share the same enthusiasm even though he tried his hardest to fake it. He followed it up with a smile that could almost qualify as a grimace.

"A-ha!" Kayla chirped in out of nowhere, coming to stand before them with accusation in her eyes. She pointed at them, "I knew it! Something was going on between the two of you! Both of you thought you could deceive me forever." free𝑤ebnovel.com

Issac quickly stepped away from Anya, creating awareness of space between them, and tried to explain the situation to his sister who was quick to jump to conclusions. However, Anya beat him to it.

"No, it’s not what you’re thinking," The female Fae shook her hands furiously, trying to deny it.

"But you kissed him! I knew what I saw!" Kayla stood her ground.

"I know, but... "Anya’s gaze lowered to the ground and she muttered timidly, lifting her eyes to him at last, a warmth of the blush crawling up her neck, "I was just too excited to see him and couldn’t help myself," She eyed him, chewing in her lower lips.

"The gods help me," Issac breathed, wiping his palm down his face. She just made everything worse and now, his sister was giving him the eye. By the gods, he did not come home for this drama.

How did Anya even know he was back? Well, the answer was obvious. As childhood friends, they lived across from each other, and either his family alerted her of his return during his time in his room or she spotted him across the street. Issac suspected the latter.

With the amount of time spent away from home, Issac suspected his mother would want to spend enough time with him before inviting a third party. But then, why did Anya kiss him if they were friends? Well, it was his mistake.

Not even a drunken mind could make him take Anya to bed. Issac suspected that she drugged and took advantage of him, and that left a sour taste in his mouth. Issac could not believe it, no, he refused to believe that the Fae he trusted the most would violate him.

Issac had for some time received warnings from outsiders that Anya’s feelings for him were quite intense and dangerous. There were tales that she often went after the female Faeries he had a good time with and warned them off him. Issac never took it seriously, perceiving she was simply concerned about him as a family would. But that was until the incident.

He could not confront her. No, Issac did not want to risk both of their family’s close relationship. He kept denying the truth, even though his instinct told him otherwise. Moreover, both of them had a good time. There was no harm done - except the broken trust and the feeling of being violated. No, something was wrong. He needed to think. Nor was he ready to face her.

Anya had been asleep by the time he evacuated the inn. Issac simply went home, took his things, and left for the palace.

He didn’t return until now.

Nor has he told anyone about the incident, not even his beloved mother.
