Hello Darling: Book 1 (Completed)

My Chosen Wife Saga 1(2)

Nick's POV

I just watched her sleep. I felt so guilty but I needed her. If I didn't have her within the next week, I was gonna lose my mind. My animalistic instincts would have taken over and I would have pounced on her. This needed to be her decision and hers alone. That's why I have been holding myself back for the past year. I wanted her to like me for me. Not because I was about to be crowned King of Mythical Creatures. My powers were finally starting to mature but they were still out of control. I need my chosen to help control them. But they added so much of the sleeping agent in her food, she's been asleep for over a day now.

"You know, watching over her is not going to make her wake up faster," Orion comments. I roll my eyes and glare at him.

"She would have been awake already if you didn't load that cake up with that sleeping spell," I snap.

"Hey, she's a tiny little thing. I didn't know that was going to knock her out for a whole day." 

"God, you're so annoying." Orion walks up to me and wraps his arm around my shoulder.

"How do you think she is going handle everything?" I sighed heavily.

"I have no idea. I knew about her past with her stepfather and her mom. This might hurt her mental health so I think if I explain thoroughly, I might escape with her not talking to me for a week instead of her rejecting the entire thing," I say.

"She seems like a good girl. Reinna likes her a lot." I nod.

"She is a great girl. That's why I chose her." He patted my back in support.

"Well, she seems open-minded. I think it will be just fine. Come on, Dad needs to know when you are doing the union ceremony." Oh fuck, I completely forgot about that. She needs to process all of this first before we can even think about this ceremony.

"Shit, I completely forgot about that. Can you get Reinna up here to watch over her? I think it will make her feel better if she sees a familiar face." Orion nodded.

"I'll get her. Go to Dad. You know he hates to be kept waiting." I nodded and walked out of the room, giving Mirielle one last glance before heading down to the throne room. I opened the door and saw my father sitting on the throne with my mother sitting next to him. Both were dressed in traditional royal clothing. Mom had on a burgundy ballgown with gold embellishments and a corset top. Dad matched her with a gold coat, burgundy top, and black pants. Both had crowns on their heads.

"You wanted to see me, Father?" They both look over and Mom gets up to kiss me on the cheeks.

"Hello, darling. Yes, your father and I needed to get some information from you quickly. So, tell us about the girl."

"Well, her name is Mirielle. She's the most beautiful girl on the planet. I have never seen such beauty before. Her inky black hair is full and voluminous, her eyes are like sparkling pools of aquamarine and her smile. Her smile could light up the room. She's perfect."

"Thar's great, son. Now, when are we doing this ceremony? We only have so much time before we have the crowning ceremony." Here comes the awkward part.

"Well, I haven't exactly told her about any of this yet." I look up and they are both staring at me in disbelief.

"Excuse me? What the hell do you mean you haven't told her any of this yet?!" Father yelled.

"I'm sorry. I couldn't say anything. She was a freshly turned 18-year-old girl who was running away from major life issues and I could not spring this on her too! She was going through so much already."

"I admire that you were looking out for her feelings but time is running out. Where is she now?" 

"She's-" Then, an ear-piercing scream rang throughout the castle. Well, at least she's awake.
