Lost in each other, a maze that has no end to it. Rose couldn't seem to find a way out of his dark eyes. Those beautiful eyes that attracted her like a siren's song. And even though she could sense the dangerous and black aura looming around him, she couldn't help but want to get close to him. She could tell he was not from this kingdom. Such an aura that demanded the other person to kneel and such a insanely gorgeous and absolutely handsome appearance, would have been the biggest talk of the whole kingdom. Still here he was, standing all tall and proud in front of her, as if a possession waiting to be claimed by her.
The sizzles in the air were so bright, one could clearly make them out even with naked eyes.
As his eyes met her, he felt the electric charges deep in his bones. His cold heart for first time in centuries was beating so loud, his eyed turned ten shades darker, breathing ragged. He turned his eyes away from her, sucking in a deep breath he started to think about what just happened. Once he came to his senses, only then he realized what he said, mate... my mate..
Turning his eyes
Moving a few steps away from her, the bright light that she emitted and her sweet strawberry scent that clouded his head, he shaked his head thinking rationally. Reality slowly settled in his mind along with a pang of confusion. His cold hands shivered thinking about the possibility of this being a trap to lure him into marrying the young lady.
But what if it's true?
Were the words of the prophet wrong then?
How is this possible? He was cursed to never have a mate. Who is she then?
His head hurted as he listed all the possibilities for the current scenario but neither of them could explain the way he is feeling now.
The feeling of being joined together with a long lost puzzle piece of yourself. The endless longing inside his heart slowly seemed to settle down. As he shifted his gaze, again to the innocent big eyes staring up at him as if he was some cookie she craved for long.
He chuckled at the absurd possibility. He continued to gaze into her eyes, seeking the truth out of them. He couldn't help but admire her flawless skin, pretty round eyes, a cute little nose, and those full pink lips. The petite figure moved a little as he stared at her with unknown hunger in his eyes. He noticed her being uncomfortable.
Stupid, stupid.. she scents off as a human, she must have been cowered of his imposing aura.
Just as he took a step in her hesitant direction, a voice behind him made him stop ,"My lord, Its time for you to show up at the palace."
Turning his eyes away from her, he glared at the interrupter. Drew quickly avoided his anger filled gaze by looking down.
'What's the matter with him..'
Ignoring him again, Lazarus walked in the direction of the girl again, but stopped midway. A thought crossed about all the possible threat that could direct towards his mate if the news of her being his true mate broke out. He definitely cannot let any possible harm pass through her.
With a deep sigh he turned his back on the little minx there, and walked towards the palace hall with heavy steps. Stopping to take one last glance at her, he stared deep into her eyes, her heat clouded eyes stared at him being awestruck, that expression send chills down to his bones.
She is gonna be the death of me.
He recited in his mind as he finally took off. Drew had this absurd expression on his face that one have when someone says Cow's fly.
He never missed out on a single fraction of the drama played in front of him. The secret glances of his king, the giddy expression on the girl's face and the high electric sizzling energy in the air.
Who is this girl to bring out that emotions from that icebag?!
Court Room Of Liliac Kingdom
Rose POV
Give me a break!
That is the exact expression on my king's face ever since the former king of Roosevolt kingdom greeted and hugged him like they are best of friends.
He then came forward and introduced his son, Lazarus. Some hands in the palace shivered unknowingly, and I couldn't care less.
I still remember out staring session in the palace garden. The currents I felt on my body when our eyes met were something I had never ever felt in my whole existence. From Top to bottom everything about him screamed royal and sexy. His amused chuckle gave a whole zoo of butterflies in my stomach. His laugh, the way he racked his hands through his hair, the current bored expression on his face everything looked so right and sexy on him.
'Fine he could go and do downright anything, and I'll still find him sexy.'
'What's with me and the word sexy? I need to stop.'
'Someone please shut me up.'
"I didn't expected it, but your kingdom sure has a very precious and valuable treasure one would cherish for life." He said as his eyes shifted to my direction and locked with mine.
Oh My God !
'Even his voice is so se-'
'Okay, shut up Rose'
I guess my mother standing with me caught our stares for each other as she nudged me with her arm to keep up.
Finally what seemed like a decade, we reached the platform. I bowed in respect to greet the king, "My king". He nodded in acknowledgement. Then I turned and bowed to greet King Alexander who had this fishy wide grin on his face. "King Alexander. I hope you enjoy your stay in our kingdom."
"Oh! Very much Dear daughter-in-law." He said emphasizing on the word daughter-in-law.
I felt a hard lingering stare on me but decided to ignore it for the time being. I decided to greet the crown prince Lance, we locked eyes and nodded in each other's direction. This might have irked the man behind me since I heard a low growl emanating from deep his throat. That thing send shivers from my spine to the base of my tip.
'Lord! Even his caveman acts seems so sexy to me!'
I need to get away from his or my broken brain might keep on repeating one word countless times. Turning around, I met his hard stare with my own and bowed in respect. "King L-Lazarus, I hope you have a pleasant visit." Ugh!! Why do i have to stutter?! I caught the sight of his clenched fists as I stepped down from the platform very much aware of his eyes on my back.
Shutting the door close, I slid down on it with my heart beating like I ran a marathon with only one thought resonating deep inside me.
'I'm going to be the bride of that sexiest creature alive'
