Their Hidden Princess Novel

---- Chapter 123 "Lonly retaliated once you took your claws out," | snapped. "You were aiming to kill and | fought back to keep myself alive." "If that's what happened," The blonde girl sneered from behind me. "Why do you look completely fine and Amara's in tatters?" "Thorne was there," | said quickly. "Thorne Blythwitch. He'll back me up." As if on cue, Thorne emerged from the crowd and pinned me with his gaze. "What's going on?" "Oh, Thorny!" Amara mewed. She threw her head back dramatically. "You won't believe what Zora Smith is saying.

She said | asked for this and that she didn't attack first, | did." She looked up and caught Thore's eye. Her snake-like gold eyes narrowed at him, mouth still set in a pout. | knew exactly what she was saying to him with her eyes. Don't go against me. "Isn't that so awful?" Amara cried. Thorne looked back and forth between Amara and I. While Amara demanded he obey, my eyes were more of a plea. A" don't do this to me" kind of look. Thorne looked back at Amara and sighed. His eyes fluttered closed. ---- "It was awful," he said, gently.

The crowd gasped again like we were in a fucking tellanovella. "I've never seen a spar get so violent." "See!?" Amara cried to the crowd. She jabbed a long nail at me. She's insane. She should be kicked out if anything. I'll be letting my mother know immediately." | raised an eyebrow as if to challenge that. Her mother was my mother and she and | both knew that Victoria wasn't going to do shit. | was the backup plan for Amara's terrible public reputation and she wouldn't be risking mine to back up Amara'a nonsense. "What's going on here?" A voice barked.

| shuddered immediately as | recognized it. The crowd parted like the red sea as Kairos stormed over to where they'd circled around Amara and |. He glanced between us, lip curled up ina scowl. "Oh Kairos," she cried, flailing like a damsel in distress. "You must've heard how she attacked me. Now she's trying to do it again!" Kairos's jaw clenched and unclenched as he looked back and forth between Amara and |. He huffed a breath out of his nose then glanced back down at where Amara was dramatically hanging on the blonde girl. ---- "| don't really give a fuck," he snapped.

He addressed the crowd "Coach saw you all loitering from his office and is pissed warmups haven't been started. So get a fucking move on before | have to ask again." Ina flourish, the crowd dissipated, running off towards the track for the laps we were supposed to be running. Kairos glanced back at Amara. "As you're clearly injured just stay here," he then turned to glare down at me. "You. Come with me." | shrunk in on myself as Kairos led me off to the side of the gym Loren gave me a pat on the shoulder before running off to join the rest of the class. | snuck one final glance at Amara.

From her chair, she wiggled her fingers at me, a wicked smirk on her face. | ground my teeth together then faced back to where Kairos had stopped. His arms were crossed over his barrel of a chest and he was looking at me with a voracious sharpness. "The fuck were you thinking, hurting the heir to the Throne?" he hissed. "| wasn't planning on it," | snapped back. "She fucking attacked me and | had to fight back." Kairos narrowed his eyes at me. "The way to get through this school is certainly not to attack the one fucking person you ---- shouldn't attack." "Get through this school?" | snorted.

"Weren't you trying to get me to leave a few months ago?" Kairos slammed his mouth into a thin line. His eyes still bore into me was the intensity of a thousand suns. | took a step forward, jutting my chin up to glare back at him. "Unless you've changed your mind," | taunted. "Don't tell me you give a shit about me now, Kairos." His face fell flat for a second and | caught why people found him attractive. When his face wasn't all scrunched up in anger, he was goodlooking. But just as the thought went through my head, his sneer reappeared and he walked past me.

"Just don't make it harder for yourself," he snapped, leaving me confused and alone in the corner of the gym.
