Astrid The Hybrid Princess - Chapter 351 Eavesdropping

CHAPTER 351

Without further ado, Snow turned facing the path ahead and took off.

“Blade, step away from her for the last time.” Terrence’s voice broke him out of his trance.

Jareth whipped his head back to look at his brother. “Terrence, let it go. She has collapsed.” No longer was his eyes cool like Astrid loved, instead they went back to their deadly calm and dull ones, mirroring the emptiness he felt on the inside.

“Good. Step away still, General Aelfdene would take her.” Jareth was about refusing but then, he did not want his brother to be suspicious of him.

Slowly he got up with Astrid in his arms and walked over to where General Aelfdene stood close to his horse and handed her over to him carefully.

“We march home. The mission is complete and the hybrid, captured.”

“And what about the sorceress?” Cleon asked out of the blue.

He had been watching the whole thing and could see that something was off about Jareth that was why he kept quiet since trying to observe the prince.

“Check her status,” Aelfdene called out and two soldiers walked towards her. After checking her pulse and making sure, they nodded to each other and looked over to Terrence.

“Your highness, she is dead.”

“Leave her. She is of no use being dead. Move out. We have who we came for and only that matters.”

Following his order, everyone turned back and headed in another direction. One of the soldiers on a horse came down and offered the horse to Jareth and joined his comrade.

“You were to wait till I gave the signal.” Jareth said when he rode close to Terrence.

“I waited all night for it. I did not want to miss my chance in case Thunder got caught or something.”

“Or something.” They continued in silence, till Jareth broke it again and asked. “Where are we going? Last I recall, this is not the way back to Elvendel.”

“There are a lot of things you do not know, brother. This is the shortest cut back home. It was used during the war.”

“Oh.”

Without saying anything more, they rode on in silence with Jareth turning his head back occasionally to check on Astrid.

~HUMAN KINGDOM – PALACE~

Ever since that night, Evelyn found it difficult to think straight. Her heart hurt with every passing second and though she knew she should let it go and let Cullen go, she still felt like clinging on.

One morning while she went to the kitchens to get Princess Cyrena’s breakfast, she overheard two people speaking in the storeroom and curiously stalked forward towards them then hid carefully.

She knew what she was doing was wrong eavesdropping on people like that but a certain voice drew her in and she thought to check first.

“Do not be naughty, Dylan. It was nothing.”

“Stop it, Dylan. You are embarrassing me,” the first voice spoke shyly.

“What is there to be embarrassed about? Was it not your man who was making you feel good? Besides, no one is here with us,” Dylan chided her.

“Fine. But could you hear what I was saying that loud for real?”

“Nova, you were screaming his name at first and moaning, asking him to go harder. It was sexy too. I could tell you were in bliss. Just to be expected from the young general. Not many men can satisfy their women in bed and from your screams I knew you were very much satisfied.”

Nova could not help the blush that crept up her cheeks. Hearing someone say that about her only made her feel extremely shy.

“Was there someone else in the room with you that night?” Nova asked out of curiosity. She knew her friend had gone to dress the bed of the general guest they were having and his room was at the other bend, back of Cullen’s room.

So it would be pretty embarrassing if he was there and heard everything she and Cullen did.

“Not at all. He came back very late that day. He was busy drinking and dining with the king all night long. It was when I was going to do m chores very early in the morning that I saw him saunter towards his room.”

“Phew!”

“Yeah, you were lucky. It even gave me the time to listen and it was so arousing I could not help pleasuring myself just from hearing you two.”

“DYLAN!” Nova’s eyes shot open at the reveal. Never would she have imagined her friend would do that.

She knew the latter loved a good fuck but not to the point of her doing such in a guest’s room and to her friend’s screams.

“What?”

“What is what? Okay, forget me, what if he had returned and met you in such an act?” Nova asked. Her face was still red and hot from embarrassment with the look of shock still evident on her face.

“Then he would have joined in. Tsk, why waste a good hard-on if you get one.”

“You sure are naughty,” Nova aid pointing at her face.

“Says the girl that was being pounded nonstop for hours.” Dylan clicked her tongue and raised her brows playfully at her friend.

“Shut up, lower your voice before someone hears you.” Nova scolded her.

“I bet it was so great. Tell me how big is he? Did he fill you up so good?”

Nova’s lips fell open at the words that came out of her friend’s mouth and did not know whether to cry or laugh.

“Don’t look so shocked.” She was hell shocked. She knew her friend liked this kind of thing but not to this extent. “Even if you do not want to tell me, I can as well guess judging from how your words became incoherent and mushy.”

“Dylan, I have no words to say to you right now.”

“Tsk, I like men who are big down there and now how to use what they got. You sure are lucky, girl. Keep him tight.”

“No need, Cullen loves me and I love him, regardless of what he has down there, okay?”

“Yeah, yeah.”
