Chapter 25 Take Me to Your Room

We weren’t too far away from the back door. It seemed that quite a few people were in the hallway. They were checking out, maybe?

“It’s getting late,” Warren said. “We should probably go back inside and prepare for our journey. We have a long trip ahead of us tomorrow.”

He was right. If we continued to walk to my pack lands, it would take a while. We’d discussed the possibility of taking public transportation, now that we were in a village, but | thought it might still be a bit risky until we were farther away from the capital. He could be recognized, and then word could get back to Prince Theo of where we were.

Just the thought of Theo discovering what we were up to made my stomach ache. I didn’t want to think about how terrifying his reaction would be when he found out I’d escaped.

Without a word, I stood and took Warren’s offered arm. He carried the wine and the glasses but disposed of the empty bottle in a trash can outside of the building. I hadn’t drunk that much, which meant that he had consumed most of the bottle, but he didn’t seem drunk at all. I figured a man of his

size could probably handle his liquor.

When we walked inside, the sweet older woman who ran the hostel was standing behind the desk.

“Let me return those glasses to the front desk. I’ll ask whether they have another room available.” I looked at Warren gratefully. He was always so considerate.

It was obvious that the receptionist was charmed by Warren. Who wouldn’t be? The moment she saw us, she

had a big smile on her face.

“Mr. Travel! Good evening! This must be Mrs. Travel! So good to see you’re getting better. Aww… you two are so adorable!” she said, causing me to stop and look at her, not quite understanding what she was saying. “It’s so sweet the way that your husband took care of you when you were ill!”

she said to me.

My mouth hung open as I turned to look at Warren. He was chuckling, but he didn’t correct her. He must have made up a name when checking us in…

My face was burning, and I was so embarrassed. Meanwhile, Warren just nodded at her like a gentleman.

“Such a beautiful, gentle little wife, and a handsome, masculine, but tender man. You are both very lucky to have

found one another,” she continued. “Very few people are so lucky as to find their perfect match in a spouse!”

“Uhm, actually-” I began, no longer wishing to live the lie, especially since we were about to ask for another room. But before I could say a word, I felt a cold chill go down my spine and realized we were no longer alone in the reception

area.

“Actually,” a deep, dangerous male voice said behind me, “she is not my brother’s wife, not even a little bit.”

I turned around to see the dark eyes of an irate prince and felt my knees cave in on themselves. If Warren hadn’t been holding my arm, I might’ve fallen.

“Prince Theo!” I gasped. Then seeing his angry face, I forced a smile and lowered my head, “Greetings, Your Highness…”

“Cut that. Where do you think you’re going?” His tone was cold as he quickly closed the space between us.
