Chapter 33. In the Forest

ROYCE.

I really have no way to explain what I feel

when she turns and saunters out of the

cafeteria as if she owns the entire place. If I

try to put it into one sentence, it would be; She looks fucking mind-blowingly sexy and smoking hot. 2

Her long killer legs move confidently, her

hips naturally swaying as she walks, and her

breasts bounce as does her hair. There’s a

fire in her eyes that makes my throat go dry. She’s not seen me but she’s angry and she doesn’t give a shit about the consequences.

Call me insane, but I actually admire that.

She’s able to be herself without even

considering the repercussions of her actions.

She spots me, and her heart skips a beat. Her

eyes meet mine for a second, before she

turns those bottle-green eyes away and brushes past me, leaving me with a hint of

her scent…

That fleeting remnant doesn’t do justice. There’s something about the wild princess that gets to me every damn time, and I’m not the only one left speechless in her wake. I hate that a sliver of jealousy rushes through me at the gazes of some of the

senior boys watching as she leaves. Not to mention her tiny shorts barely cover

anything.

I cast one look at Aleric, whose eyes meet mine. They’re burning gold and his heart is thundering. He isn’t one who can take humiliation or failure. Being slapped in

front of this many people won’t sit well with

him. 3

‘You told her.’ He snarls through the link. 2

‘I only told her to back off from me, that you two are welcome to do whatever the hell you want. I don’t want anything to do with either

of your games.’ I reply, dangerously calm,

before turning and exiting the hall.

‘Royce. Back off from her.’ He growls

warningly. 2

I don’t bother replying as I head out of the food hall, not knowing what to make of it. A part of me just doesn’t want any more part of it, but there is a part of me deep down that knows her, the part who had begun falling

for her without even seeing what she looked

like… that part is a storm of destruction,

confusing me. 3

There’s a part of me that wants to just hand

in my notice and drop this position so I can do whatever the hell I want, and just be me without any responsibilities or expectations but I’m here to help her… And above all,

that’s what I need to do and what I should

focus on. 4

Needing a breather, I head outside. The
