Their Hidden Princess Novel

Chapter 217 Maximus took the stand and sat down quietly . Both the representative and Keverow were shuffling their papers . Kairos was still trying to lock my pinky with his . I locked as with Maximus as he settled himself . He gave me a soft smile , " High Alpha Wolfham , " the representative cut through our stares . Maximus pulled his gaze from mine and I tried to swallow the lump in my throat . Maximus nodded at the rep . They raised an eyebrow . " Esteemed High Alpha Wolfham , " they said . " I assume you've listened to the accusations listed by Alpha Blythwitch .

Do you have evidence to refute the claims ? " " I do , " Maximus said . His tone was much more careful than Kairos's . Less angry and more critical . " I wasn't there on the day of her capture . But I saw Zora after . She had been sent to the infirmary . Her cuts were taking forever to heal . They were clearly made by vampires . She also had a few bites on her . " The crowd murmured around the atrium . I nodded at Maximus . This was good irrefutable evidence . The student rep stepped out from around the podium again .

Any hope I had was gone when they turned over their shoulder to smirk at me . They turned back to Maximus . " So , you weren't there on the day in which Alpha Blythwitch saw Miss Smith working with the vampires ? " They asked . Max nodded , " Correct . Just the aftermath . " " And so , what are you trying to prove ? " the student rep snorted . I almost got out of my seat and throttled them . They paced again . " You only saw the vampire bites ? Not the vampires biting Zora ? " " No , " Maximus was starting to get riled up . " But I saw the bites . Are you saying they were staged ?

" The rep shrugged . " They could be , " they said . " What other evidence do you have besides this weak one ? " Maxímus took a deep breath . He looked across the room to lock eyes with me again . " I know Zora , " he said . " I know who she is . I know who she wants to be . I'm her fated mate , I've seen the depths of her soul and I know she is pure . " " I'm sorry , " The student rep said . " Are you saying Miss Smith has two fated mates ? " Maximus jerked back to the student rep . " I- " " Because Miss Smith said that the Headmaster is her fated mate , " The student rep cut Maximus off .

Kairos swore under his breath next to me . " Are you implying Miss Smith has two fated mates ? " " I - I- " Max looked at me once more then looked back to the rep . " Yes , " he finally choked out . " She has three . " The crowd murmured behind us . " Three ?! " The rep balked . " That's unheard of in the wolf world . And who might that third be ? " " Me , " Kairos spoke up from next to me . The crowd turned from a murmur to a roar . Keverow brought her gavel down again and demanded for silence . She leaned over her desk to leer at me . " Miss Smith , is this true ? " she snapped .

" Are you fated to Headmaster Lunerly , High Alpha Moonraiser and High Alpha Wolfham ? " I looked at Kairos then at Maximus . I wished Valentin was here . I need his strength and support . But he was nowhere to be found . I made the mistake of looking at Thorne . His glare cut me to the core . I couldn't lie . Not when my men were standing here defending me . I nodded slightly . The crowd exploded . Immediately , people were on their feet , jamming fingers at me in accusations . " Witch ! " " Whore ! " " Seductress ! " +25 Bonus " Traitor ! " " Vampire apologist ! " I wanted to scream .

I wanted yell with the full force of my body that I was real and I was a wolf and I loved my people . I wanted to tell them that I'd never felt more at home than when I was with the wolves . That I'd never side with people who tore my family apart . Tore my fated mates apart ! But I did none of that . I sat there and waited for them to be done . Keverow waited as well , completely over the yelled that morning in the atrium . Thorne and the student representative were grinning from ear to ear . They knew they were winning over the audience .
