“Do you like my son?” The Queen asked.
I almost chocked in her question. This is something I didn’t expect.
First, I said to the King that if I win, he will be all mine.
Then when I got to my room the Queen send someone to tell me that she wants my presence in her room.
Now we are eating together and she’s asking me a lot of question and she wanted me to have her crown.
“M-My Queen your son is an impossible man.” I said.
She laughs at my words. “I know that since I gave birth to him. But, I want to know if you like him?”
“I don’t know but he is a good-looking guy but his attitude confuses me though I’m sure I got a crush on him since I saw him shift that night.” I said. I know I’m blushing right now.
“Oh, about that, I didn’t see you that day. Do you leave early?” She asks.
“Well…… I’m not supposed to leave the house that day. Father told me not leave the house. He told me that I would not be needed there. But I leave; I wanted to see the King first shift. But he caught me so I run back home as fast as possible.” I said.
“Oh, I see. Look Kath, I want you to understand that my son has an attitude, I know somehow if you win you will get along with him.” She said.
I tense up, I can feel someone is watching me but I shook it off.
“Maybe, but I believe in mates my Queen. Even though I didn’t know who he is, I still believe that I am meant for him and he is made for me. That is why I’m having second thought about this.” I honestly say.
“Kath, life is a matter of choice. You just need to choose.” She said holding my hands.
“But—”
A big thud cut me off.
I saw the King lying on the ground.
“My Son? What are you doing? Are you hurt?” The Queen rush to help her son.
“No Mother, I got out balance before I knock.” He said.
Though I feel he is lying.
“My Queen can I go now?” I ask giving them privacy.
“Oh sure, Zeus, bring Katharina to her room.” The Queen ordered.
The King looks at me. “My Queen it’s okay I’ll be fine. I know my wa—-”
“Let’s go.” He said cutting my words again.
I look at the Queen is she just nod at me. I can’t say no to her.
He walks out the room first and I follow behind him. He doesn’t talk and that’s much better because I’m having a hard time talking in his presence. He is really good-looking guy even I’m looking in his back. Why is he so perfect? Did he have a girlfriend? If I win, can we work out?
“You know I can read your mind, right?” He said.
Oh gosh I forgot! I said to myself.
“I’m sorry.” I said.
“Katharina.” He said.
“Yes?”
“Would you like to have a tea with me?” He asks.
“S-Sure my Lord.” I said.
“Follow me.” He said.
He turns left heading to his room. I got nervous thinking why we are drinking tea in his room.
He opens the door for me and I get in looking at the big room and when I say big…. It’s really big as if a whole house.
“Here, come on.” He is in the open door again leading us to the veranda.” The view is beautiful facing the whole land of the King. The stars in heaven are so bright and the moon is so beautiful in the sky.
“It’s a beautiful night isn’t it?” I ask the King who is now sitting beside me. The tea is already set in the table facing the view. We sit together with an enough space for each other.
“Absolutely beautiful.” He said.
And when I look at him he is looking at me too. We’re looking for each other for too long when I decided to look away.
“Tell me Katharina, is having a mate a nice thing?” He asks.
“For me yes, my mother and father are mates. I saw how they love each other and how happy they are. I believe that’s a gift from the Moon Goddess. Mate is our other half.” I said.
He is listening very well and I swear when I look into his eyes it is glowing gold now.
“Your eyes.” I said look shocked “it’s glowing.” As if my hands have its own mind, it reaching out his face.
But the King grabs my hand. “No.” he said. I feel embarrassed about it. Why do he use gloves all the time?
“I’m sorry.” I said.
Suddenly the door harshly open and the girl I hate the most is standing there looking at me as if I’m her prey.
“What are you doing here with my fiance?” She asks.
I look into the King eyes but he just shrugged in her question.
“We’re just having a tea.” I answered.
“Go back to where you came from bitch! I don’t want anyone hanging around with my mate.” She said.
I heard a low growl in King Zeus throat.
“You are not my mate Loui, so shut the fuck up! My mate will be the one who will win the battle.” He said looking into my eyes. Those silver orbs have secret that wanted to be revealed.
I broke the eye contact. “I need to go know my Lord; I should be sleeping early for the training.” I said excusing myself.
“You too Loui, you leave my room and never come back again. I don’t one anyone going in here barking me like that or else…. I’m going to throw you outside my land.” He said.
Thank God I leave the room as soon as he finishes his words to her but she that girl drag me in the corridor with her nails digging in my arm and pushes me against the wall.
“You little Bitch, I don’t want you to talk to my fiance like that. I don’t want you any near him.” She said while pinning me to the wall.
My wolf is itching inside of me, she doesn’t want to be treated and threatened this way specially this little girl.
I push her away from me. “Don’t dare do this threatening again Loui, let’s get it over in the field.” I said.
“And you think you’re going to win?” She laughs wickedly.
“Watch me.” I said leaving her still laughing in the corridor. I really like the way Zeus push her away. At least we know that he has no feelings to that Bitch.
“Kath where have you been?” Ruby asks before I can go to my room. She’s waiting for me in her door.
“Just out, why?”
“Nothing, let’s go to bed. Tomorrow we will be train by Tyler, the Beta of the King.” She said giggling. I think she likes Tyler.
She waves goodbye and I enter my room. I’m so glad that it has its own bathroom and window. It makes me comfortable.
I look at the window while drying my hair. This is the first time I open this and to my surprise my room is facing the terrace of the King. He is still there sitting and watching his land.
He really takes my breath away. His peaceful face with no emotion shown makes me think what he is thinking right now. What if he is my mate? What is it feel to be in his arms?
I shook my head. If he is my mate, he will tell me for sure. I closed the window, lie down in bed and fall asleep.
Two days to go……
