Their Hidden Princess Novel

" This is my room . " " No " I breathed " Max is our neighbor , Loren said . " Though I told him if he's not nice to you Id beat him up " " Like you could take me Mini Moonbeam , " Maximus snorted . Loren put her hands on her hips . " I totally could because I'd catch you off guard with how quick I am Then , quick as lightning , she shifted and barreled into Max's calves . He shifted slightly but barely moved . Loren whined slightly then tried again . It earned a deep rumble from Max's chest . " Good try , pup , " he said .

Loren whined again then shifted back to her human form She grumbled as she pushed past me and into our room . I couldn't help but stare at Maximus as he unlocked his own door . He caught me staring and raised an eyebrow " Can I help you ? " " My neighbor , " I said softly . " Great . " Maximus barely paid me any mind as he opened his door . He gave me one last glance . " Just don't be too loud , too smelly or too generally annoying and we'll have no problems " With that he walked into his room . The door slammed shut behind him .

I stomped my foot in frustration then stormed into my own room . My door also slammed shut and startled Loren where she was sitting on her bed . 1/3 * 25 BONUS She was doing that thing where she chewed on her lip , again . She played with the lace of her bedspread , sheepishly " He's not that bad , " she said softly . " Did he tell you about his brother ?" I sighed deeply and let my eyes flutter shut . I nodded once then looked back at Loren . She gave me a half sympathetic shrug . " I don't blame him , " she said . " If I lost my sissy , I'd be inconsolable .

" " I just doesn't make sense , " I said , shaking my head . I walked across the room and perched myself on my own bed . " Weren't you all wolfless at some point ? " " Yeah , " Loren turned to face me . She still was fidgeting with the lace on her bedspread . " But some for less than others . Because of what happened to Maximus's brother , he activated his well very early . I've heard rumors that he was four when he first shifted . " " Jesus , " I rubbed my eyes . " How old were you when you first shifted ? " " Seventeen , " Loren mumbled .

She looked embarrassed and so I figured that was my cue to drop it . I sighed . I threw myself back on my quilt . "I feel like I know nothing . " " Well what blanks can I fill in ? " Loren said from her bed . I heard her shift slightly and then turned to see she'd moved to face me . She was playing with the lace on her duvet still . " All of them . " I sighed . "I know nothing about werewolves . " Loren laughed . It was a deep bubbly noise . " Firstly , " She held up her pointer finger . " We call ourself wolves not ' werewolves ' that's just - " She shuddered " Archaic .

" I nodded slowly for her to continue . She held up her middle finger with her pointer finger . " So obviously you're wolfless . How did you even learn you're a wolf ? " I fidgeted " Some lady picked me up from the orphanage I was at when I turned eighteen , " I said . " Then she told me what I really was . "
