“I am afraid that she’s not so keen on this engagement.” King William murmurs, sighing slightly, “I guess that I can’t blame her, but she can’t have everything her own way now can she? I just wish that she would stop with the temper tantrums if I’m being completely honest because she needs to do what is right for her kingdom.”
That is a bit surprising to hear because most women are very eager to get close to me. Since I’m a dragon shifter, there’s noway that someone wouldn’t be attracted to me. I’m strong and big, I don’t dare let anything stand in my way and I make sure that everyone knows it as well. I can only do certain things, wishing that I could keep everything at a distance but there’s only so much that I’m capable of.
I have to make sure that I’m going to handle her the right way.
I can’t let anything come from it, wishing that I’m going to do something about it.
I wish that possibly; I’m going to have to break up this engagement.
“Well, I don’t blame her either.” I tell them honestly, seeing how mom turns and gives me a look that tells me to shut up, “I’m not so keen on this relationship either but I’m not going to push it so much. I just hope that she realizes that if we both protest this, nothing will come from it.”
I know what I’m saying here, and I see how mom is glaring at me. She wants me to keep my words to myself but I’m not going to be so nice and do anything like that. It doesn’t matter what ends up coming from it, I have to make sure that I’m doing it for myself and I’m not going to allow anything to happen. I just hope that maybe, just maybe, it is going to be okay.
I just hope that it will end quickly.
“I’m here.” I hear a female’s voice filled with irritation finally, “I hope you’re not talking badly about me.”
I look up, a bit curious to see who I’m going to be with now. I’m more than just a little taken back when I see the beauty standing there, her long, flowing blonde hair falling straight to her waist and her beautiful blue eyes. I don’t know what was going to end up happening, but I don’t know what I’m going to end up doing.
I just want to be close to her.
When she looks up and our eyes meet, my heart skips a beat when I realize that she is indeed my fated mate. It stuns me almost immediately and I see the look on her face as well, like she wasn’t expecting it either. I don’t know what is happening here, wishing that I could have done something else, but I highly doubt it is going to go the way that I needed it to.
“You’re…” I whisper, feeling a little sick to my stomach as I’m realizing this.
“This isn’t happening.” She whispers in a hoarse tone, noticing how our parents are looking at us, “I can’t…”
“Mate.” I murmur, making our parents understand immediately what had just happened.
I couldn’t believe it either, wishing that I could have done something else. I wanted to make sure that I’m going to have my fated mate, that much is pretty clear right now. I don’t know what I’m going to say but she turns on her heel and runs away.
Not surprising.
Chapter Three
Jessie
I can’t believe it.
This can’t be possible.
My fated mate.
The Dragon Prince that I’m supposed to marry is my fated mate…
And I instantly wanted him the minute that I laid eyes on him.
He is drop dead gorgeous, that is the first that I noticed when I looked at him. He is really tall, dressed in the perfect clothing that shows off the perfection of his body. He is really muscular as well, that much I noticed almost immediately the minute that I looked at him. His short, curly silvery-blonde hair is a little wild and unruly, but it was his beautiful silver eyes that drew me in the most.
I wasn’t sure what was going to come from it, wishing that I could have done a lot more with him, but I had to get away from him. It was the best thing for me, that much was clear when I looked at him and I knew that if I did it this way, then nothingelse was going to end up coming from it. I just had to draw him closer, that much was pretty obvious.
“Wait!” I hear him calling after me, making me feel really weird about it, “Jessie, wait! I think we need to have a talk about this.”
Just the sight of him was enough to make my stomach churn and I had to get away. As I’m rounding the corner, I bump immediately into someone who makes me shiver with disgust. When I looked up, I saw it was Hayden, and I have to keep myself away from him because there’s no way that I could have done something like that. I step away from him, something that I normally wouldn’t have done but I have to keep myself away.
I can’t allow him to get close to me.
If that happens, I know that I would end up regretting it.
