Their Hidden Princess Novel

---- Chapter 110 Kairos... an hour earlier... The party in his house was in full swing by the time Kairos came down from his room. He'd slicked his hair off his head as he got out of the shower that day. He was cuffing his sleeves as he finally hit the first floor. Most of the party was dancing at that moment, a few of the patrons standing by the bar. Kairos worked his way through the crowd, making sure to nod at anyone who greeted him. He had a reputation to maintain. Especially after the nasty business with Jeckell a few months ago.

The school was up his ass and his father was further up his ass with comments of "good behavior" and "appropriate interactions." He and his friends were on guard to keep any debaucherous behavior out of his house. As he reached the bar, Thorne stepped up to clasp him on the shoulder. "Brother," he roared over the pounding music. "Is everything good?" Kairos yelled back. Thorne nodded once but Kairos could tell something was off in the way his jaw ticked. He leaned back in to speak into Kairos's ear.

"You hear about who made their way to campus today?" ---- Kairos pulled back to shake his head. Thorne's eyes went wide before he dove back in to speak in Kairos's ear. "Amara Luna," Thorne said. "My sister. The Princess." Kairos's face twisted into a smug frown. He'd heard stories of the adopted Luna Princess. How she was tall, thin, beautiful in the way as hawk was. He'd also heard stories of how she'd seduced male Alphas to be at her beck and call then would turn around and seduce someone else.

She played men like one would play a harp, plucking at the strings until it made the sound she wanted. Kairos had no desire to be a part of it. His own love life had been increasingly stale since his third year had started. Furthermore, there was that weird pit in his stomach he had for Zora Smith. She'd almost destroyed him, snapped his leg into fourteen pieces and made him miss two full days of training. And yet, he wondered what it'd be like to be hers. To wrap her in his arms and keep her locked in his possession.

Away from Maximus, away from Thorne, away from- "Mate, you listening?" Thorne jolted Kairos from his inner mind. Kairos blinked twice then looked off to where Thorne was pointing. Thorne leaned back into to speak to his friend. "She's been eye-fucking you for the last five minutes!" ---- Unluckily for Kairos, the Luna Princess was seated across the room. She was perched in one of the few luxurious chairs they had in his house, right ankle crossed over her knee. Her plump lips were wrapped around the straw of her drink. Thorne was right; she was totally eye-fucking him.

Then, she surprised Kairos even more by shifting her legs so that her teeny tiny skirt rid up her thighs. She placed her right foot on the ground slowly, making sure Kairos got a full eye of the underwear she wasn't wearing, before recrossing her left ankle over her right knee. Kairos simply raised an eyebrow before turning and looking back at Thorne. He leaned into his friend's ear. "That's what you rejected your fated mate for?" Thorne jerked back with a scowl. He glared down Kairos for another second before sauntering off into the party.

Kairos yanked a beer out of the hands of a first year Alpha. He slugged half of it back then snarled at the first-year, who ran off, before finishing the rest of it. He slammed the empty can against a wall, flattening it with ease before chucking it into the house. He sulked off into the main room where a plethora of Alphas were dancing. A few Betas lingered in the room as well. One in particular caught his eye. Loren Moonbeam was swaying like a tree in wind across the room from him. He leaned back against ---- the walll and watched her.

She was so unlike her sister, Petyr's mate, that it shocked him. He wondered how two people so different could be related. He was still musing that thought with a smirk when a shock of red hair entered the room and his entire stomach dropped to his toes. Zora Smith was at his party. Again. He instantly sneered. Was she an idiot? Did she not remember what happened the last time she was in his house? He got even angrier as he noticed the tall man looming behind her in the doorway. Fucking Maximus. The traitorous cunt.

His eyes were glued to Zora as she worked her way through the crowd to meet with the younger Moonbeam. They both had drinks in their hands - ones Kairos knew he wasn't serving. Still, the sight of the three of them made him sick.
