Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 543

Chapter 543: Let The Matter Go

Anya’s heart raced as she waited for Oma’s response. She knew she was treading on thin ice, but she was willing to take the risk if it meant saving Isaac. Once Isaac recognized her efforts in saving his life, it would be enough to smooth their strained relationship. Anya did not dare to hope, but perhaps, Isaac might finally see that she was the one destined for him.

Once Isaac comes to his senses, she would forgive and welcome him into her life. After all, everyone makes mistakes. It was not his fault that the monster Maxi ensnared him in her perfectly orchestrated web. But all of this ends today and this was the first step.

Oma’s gaze softened slightly, a flicker of concern passing through her eyes. "What kind of danger?" she asked, her voice less stern now, betraying a hint of worry.

Anya took a deep breath, grateful for the opportunity to finally be heard. "It’s about your daughter-in-law, Maxi," she explained, choosing her words carefully, especially when Oma lifted a questioning brow. "I don’t know what you think you know about Maxi, but she’s not who she portrays herself to be. She’s much more dangerous than we thought. Issac is in over his head, and if we don’t act fast, he could be in serious trouble."

"Care to elaborate on what you mean by Maxi isn’t who she portrays to be?" Oma asked, her tone serious.

Anya didn’t hesitate, relieved to have Oma’s attention. "Maxi is not just a Fae, she’s more than that. No, she’s worse than that..." She took a deep breath, squaring her shoulders, ready to reveal the truth.

Reaching into her dress, Anya pulled out a sheet of paper with the words written on it: "Maxi is in reality a dark Fae horse shifter, and it’s shocking because she’s Prince Aldric’s famous war horse."

She explained, "I would have elaborated more in person, but I made a deal with my source not to disclose this sensitive information to anyone else. However, I couldn’t just sit still and watch Issac get in trouble."

Anya anticipated the silence that followed. This revelation was too significant to be taken lightly. She observed Oma silently, sensing the weight of her contemplation.

Anya was confident that Oma wouldn’t let this matter slide. If there was anything Oma cherished more than her own life, it was her children, especially Issac. She would protect him with her life.

Anya smiled, realizing that she and Oma would have to join forces to confront and ultimately defeat Maxi, sending her where she belonged — six feet under. Just because Maxi was part horse shifter didn’t negate her dark Fae nature. It had been challenging to unravel her half-Fae heritage, but with the help of her new friend Sonya’s incessant babbling and further research on Maximus, Anya discovered that the horse harbored dark Fae blood. As long as Aldric kept it in check, no one in Astaria had spoken about it.

Oma slowly advanced towards Anya, her expression inscrutable, the tension thick enough to suffocate. When they were face to face, staring each other dead in the eyes, Oma’s words cut through the silence like a blade. "How dare you assault my son and try to play the victim?"

Anya gasped, startled by Oma’s accusation. She hadn’t seen that coming, and it shocked her so much that she involuntarily took a step back. The incident had happened so long ago that she had even forgotten about it, never imagining that Oma would bring it up, let alone know about it.

"H—how..." The question slipped from Anya’s mouth before she could stop it, and she realized her mistake. It sounded as if she were admitting to the crime.

Oma’s expression turned sinister as she spoke, her voice laced with accusation. "You should have been more careful when you were speaking with my son right outside that door."

Anya’s memory flashed back to the day she had come to advise Issac about choosing Maxi as a fiancée. She gasped, lifting her hands to her mouth in disbelief. Oma had known about that incident all along? No wonder she had stopped communicating with her family. This must be the reason for her anger. As she had suspected, Oma’s love for Issac ran deep, and she wouldn’t let this matter go unanswered.
