The Queen Games

XVIII

I ended up being in the library for the whole of the day and not of the having left that next morning.

Even the librarian knew my name. Scary woman, always telling me to shut up when I'm not even talking.

The Red Moon is tomorrow meaning that the Prince has probably made his mind up on who he wants as his Queen.

The coronation being at midnight so the Red Moon can shine on the new couple and create the mate bond.

Real cute I guess

Unlike Sapphire, Devon and Cheryl have told me, I don't believe I'm the best candidate for being the Queen but also don't think that Simone or Lena deserve it.

"There you are," I turn to see the Prince standing on the opposite bookcase to me, "I was starting to think you're ignoring me."

"Think of the devil and he shall appear," I whisper but he obviously picks it up which is the reason for his smirk

"So you've been thinking about me?"

"Don't let it get to your head, your majesty."

"Micah." He corrects as he comes to stand next to me, I nod in response, "And don't worry, I've been thinking about you too."

I raise my eyebrow, "Really what about me?"

"How I haven't seen you at all." He tells me looking down at me, his purple eyes not looking purple but black in this dark light.

"I'm sure the other girls kept you company." I shrug nonchalantly

"But none of them are you, princess."

"Cute." I mumbled, again trying for it not to get to me

"So why are you ignoring me?" He repeats

"Well I figured if you really want to get to know me, you'll make time. No point in forcing it."

He looked at me whilst cocking his head to the side as if trying to take in what I'm saying.

"Alright, here I am. I'm all yours."

For now, he should have added. Sooner or later Simone would find him or Lena will do something stupid to get attention.

"Wanna update me on your current thought process?" I ask pulling out another book on the wars we've gone threw in the last 1000 years

"Well, right now I'm thinking about how beautiful you look."

I blush slightly pushing my head down to hide my embarrassment. Why can't I control my body around this guy?

"You know that's not what I meant." I say lowly.

He sighed, "Well honestly I haven't given it a thought. I'm thinking about how my parents are going to die whilst I'm supposed to live my life with my mate."

That did remind me of how the Queen kicked out Miranda for talking about it.

"The King looks so happy."
