This was a filler chapter, so sorry about it
Florence in the gif
Chapter 6
"Tell me, what's your favourite colour?" He leant back in the chair, smiling as he brought the wine glass to his lips.
"Easy, it's navy blue. What's yours?" I was enjoying myself, the past hour had been spent just chucking questions between each other, I was so thankful that it had been just us in the restaurant and the curtains had been drawn. The music flowed gently in the air which seemed barely even noticeable between our laughter. I had found out that he enjoyed playing musical instruments and learning different languages. He spent most of his childhood in a boarding school and graduated from university two years ago. He was going to overtake from his father when he reaches 25. His birthday is on the 11th of October. Whereas he found out that I spent my childhood in public schools, that I was only 17 and my birthday was on the 23rd of December.
"I tend to like forest greens" He forked his fettuccini before placing a mouthful in. The food was delectable, something that would cost hundreds. "Would you consider going on another date with me?" I thought about it, he was my mate, someone who had been given to me by the goddess, the only one who would never love another like they love me.
"Okay, I'll consider it." He smiled, reaching across to take my hand and stroking the knuckles.
"Will you consider everything that comes with being with me?" He hesitated. Everything that comes with being with him? The responsibility was too much, as is the pressure that comes with it.
"I don't know about that."
"Why?"
"It's too much, you know it is." He shook his head, running a hand through his hair.
"I'd give up the throne for you." A growl rippling from the centre of his chest.
"You don't even know me! You've known be for what 24 hours?"
"You're my mate; I know damn well that I'm going to spend the rest of my life with you, I would do anything for you to accept me, for fuck sake, I'd go to the ends of the earth for you!" I sighed, this wasn't what wanted.
"I don't want that!" I screamed.
"What do you want?"
"I don't know, I need time, it's been 24 hours, don't you think this is going a little fast?" My hand buried into my hair.
"There's no such thing as fast in the werewolf world, my parents ended up having sex within the first hour, and nine months later I popped out!"
"We're not your parents!" Dumping 100 on the table, I stormed out and into a taxi. "Volkov Palace, please." The taxi pulled off with Deimos looking on, close to popping.
After a little while, the taxi pulled outside to the gates of the Palace. Even though it was December, the air still held a small amount of warmth to it. I waved to the guard and presented my id card.
"The Queen would like a word with you."
"Thank you." They let me past and directed me to the Queen's private room. Knocking on the door, a soft light illuminated inside.
"Come in" I fully curtseyed as I laid eyes upon her. Her hair was pulled into a messy bun and glasses were placed on the end of her nose as she poured over some paperwork. She smiled up at me, standing up and embracing me in a hug. I was taken aback, why was she hugging me? "You're my sons mate!" She squealed, looking like a three year old at Christmas. "Ah, we've got to spend more time together, okay? And I want to know everything about you, okay? I know what my son said tonight was out of line but don't let that deter you from being with him." She wasn't angry at me? "Take this, okay? Your safety is now key; use this to contact either me or Deimos or one of the guards." She shoved a phone into my hand. "If anything happens to you, the whole kingdom is in shit." She swore! She swore! Actual swear words came from her mouth!
"I, I don't know what to say, thank you." I flustered over my words, closing my hand over the box. "I really shouldn't accept this."
"Please, safety first." She wrapped me tight in her arms again before pushing me towards the door. "Now get to sleep, I think someone wants to apologise for their behaviour first off."
"Thank you ma'am," I nodded to her before walking back to the hall. She seemed genuinely concerned for my safety, I twiddled the phone in my hand, this was too much to accept. As I turned into the hall, my eyes fell upon a familiar hessonite eyed man.
"Soleil, I want to apologise for my actions tonight over dinner." I moved past him, pushing open my room. "Soleil please, don't be mad." His hand tugged on mine.
"Give me time please, Deimos. I can't do this right now, it's moving too fast for me."
"Do you forgive me?" His eyes begged as he tried to pull me back out the room.
"Give me time to think about it. Goodnight Deimos" Tugging my hand from his, I closed the door.
