CHAPTER 26

Chosen By The Moon.

We walked down every single flight of stairs before coming to the entrance of the castle. The second the big doors opened and I walked out my face was “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our grand palace, it’s a pleasure to be in front of you all today.” There was a screen in front of him showing what he

I tried to not let all this get to 1. me.

The tele prompter suddenly … my name and a new string of words came on screen. “Read it!” The king demanded in my ear before I felt claws embed t face definitely showed pain, not that anybody cared of course.

I took a breath, and swallowed thickly before beginning to read in a monotone bored voice.

“It’s a pleasure to be here in front of you all today.” You could tell by my face and tone of voice that definitely wasn’t the case. “From a young age every When my school informed us the king was visiting I was so excited, we all hoped that we would be the Kings…” I trailed off as I read what I was suppos but still I was frozen. I didn’t want to be the Kings mate. I never wanted that. Why would I say it now.

*I think my queen is a little camera shy, after all, it must be daunting knowing the entire world is watching.” He chuckled causing everyone of the visitors

The king pulled his claws from shy flesh and began answering every question quickly and professionally, while I stood gaping like a fish.

“Your grace. Your grace!” I turned to see a man with yellow eyes trying to get my attention. The king gave me a little nudge telling me to answer him so I “Yes, frequently.” I replied honestly which seemed to raise more questions. The king did not look too pleased.

“Is it true you stated on many occasions that you would rather die than be mated to one of our kind?” How do they even know all this? My eyes widened I could answer, the king cut me off.

“That’s enough questions…” The Kings hand wrapped around my wrist before turning back to the cameras “when we are mated officially, a statement wi Don’t you?!” He saunted over to me and chuckled, pulling me onto my feet, before lacing my hand in his. “Come, lets go for a stroll.”
