Their Hidden Princess Novel

---- Chapter 122 The next morning, everyone was abuzz during Basics. As | stepped out of the locker room and into the gym, | learned why. Immediately, all eyes were on me. People looked at me with a range of emotions: anger, disgusting, some - even - an unbashed hatred. "Um, Zora," came Loren's small voice from my left. "Is there something you'd like to tell me?" "Nothing that | haven't already told you," | mumbled back, surveying my surroundings. One extreme tall Alpha even scoffed at me. Murmurs swirled around me, just out of reaching of my human hearing.

Luckily, or unluckily, for me, | was a wolf as well. | tuned into the frequency in my brain that allowed me to hear much quieter sounds. As soon as they reached my ears, | regretted it "Did you hear she was seen leaving the gym with Maximus Wolfham after hours last night?" "Ugh, what could he possibly want with someone as pathetic as her?" | flinched as it hit me. Sure, | knew the school already thought | ---- was awful, Hearing someone say it was a lot worse. I tuned back to the voices. "-Princess Amara. She looks terrible.

Hear it was all Smith's fault." "That's horrible to attack the heir to the throne like that! She must not have royalty in her human world. No clue how to respect them." | flinched again. Amara looked terrible? | hadn't seen her since our training session, thankfully. The last | saw, she was lucid and mobile in Valentin's arms. Clearly, | hadn't hurt her that much. "This isn't the first time she's been violent. Seems to be a habit of hers to beat the shit out of other Alphas. You remember what she did to Kairos before shifting class?" The voices were beginning to drive me mad.

The last one was the only one that held any merrit. I'd roughed Kairos up a bit but Amara? She'd been the one to start it. | looked out into the sea of students and immediately spotted her. Her arm was ina sling, hand wrapped in a thick bandage. Despite that, she was still in the tiniest little training set. She was sitting on the side of the gym with what looked like crutches. She had to be kidding. | immediately turned on my heel and marched over to her. " ---- Amara," | gritted through my teeth. The two girls standing next to the Princess jumped as they saw me storming their way.

They immediately lept behind Amara, cowering like | was the fucking big bad wolf. | rolled my eyes and set them back on Amara. "What happened?" "What happened?!" she shrieked. "You know exactly what happened you heathen!" "Recount it for the class," | said with a fake smile. "So everyone's filled in." Amara looked out at the rest of the people standing around us in Basics. Her face morphed into the delicate Princess she was trying to get them all to believe she was. "It was awful," she near cried. 'Headmaster Lunerly was training us.

Zora was throwing punches far harder than what was normal for sparring. Lunerly tried to get her to stop but she was ravenous! It must've been because of her resent me towards me for being her boss, you know?" The crowd murmured in agreement. | bit my tongue to keep from lashing out. | watched Amara scan the crowd as if she was looking for someone. Then she turned back to me with a faux fear in her eyes. She shook her head. ---- "| don't know who taught you those moves," she whimpered. * But they were maniacal.

Truly unhinged." One of the girls behind Amara, who | recognized as one of the assholes who'd chased me on my first day of classes, shot up straight. Her blonde hair bobbed with her as she ducked down to lean into Amara's ear. "| heard she's been training with Maximus Wolfham after hours," she pretended to whisper. "That must be where she learned how to snap my wrist," Amara said back, gesturing to the wrap around her lower arm. Despite " breaking her wrist" she still had those ridiculous long nails. Even looking at them | could feel them shredding my thigh.

| gritted my teeth and made eye contact with Amara "| just don't know why you hate me," Amara sniffled. "| was a good boss. | - | treated you fair and for you to attack me-" "That is bullshit and you know it!" I finally burst out. The crowd surrounding me gasped. More whispers started up. | ignored all of them as | continued to hold Amara's gaze. "That you attacked me?" She said, soft and meek. She gestured to her arm again. "I have proof."
