9 Making Advances

Patricia's POV

"Oh no it's okay, you guys can head out alone. I only came to apologize then head off to the bookstore, I need some things from there." I said with gritted teeth my tongue betraying my heart and hastily got out of there.

I felt like I was suffocating to death having to watch my husband-to-be's passionate kiss with another woman.

My heart shuttered to pieces. I've truly fallen in love with this god-like man. His dark shiny skin was complement to my milky white one and I knew we were right for each other but here he was in heated passionate kisses with a girl who is not only a weak human to me but also stinky.

What is it that he sees in her that he didn't even bat an eye in intimidating me to scurry away from them? I swear I'm going to snatch him right under her nose and watch her heart writhe in pain. I'm going to make her feel as much pain as I'm feeling right now.

I wandered around the school and settled down at a park and scrolled through my phone to check on my Instagram account. I wanted something to take my mind away from the bile of anger I was feeling from the pit of my gut.

Instagram or Facebook or Twitter, none of them could quell the hatred I felt for Lucy. At first I didn't think of her as a threat but now I'm beginning to reconsider.

I don't know how time passed but it must have been because for the first time my Lioness was in support of me and she also felt disrespected by Prince Kenneth's intimidating look at us.

Jacy wondered why she couldn't feel a connection with his lion. Was is because he also hated her?

The day passed by and it was a sigh of a relief as I didn't want to spend any more second next to the stench of this girl by my side. She tried acting all concerned about my mood swings but I did not care.

I told her I was fine and would see her tomorrow. I honestly think her usefulness has come to an end and now I should ditch her.

I couldn't bare the scent of my man on her anymore. Though it calmed me a bit, I hated her for effortlessly having what should be mine and it seemed as if I would have to struggle to make it mine.

I decided it was time for me to make a bold move. It didn't matter anyways because no matter what, me and Kenneth are bound by an unbreakable decree. Unless he wanted a blood oath, which simply means a bloody challenge which could cost him his throne or his life. Therefore no matter how much he doesn't want me, eventually he will be mine.

I don't know how I arrived at his office the next day, but I boldly knocked on the door. "Come in!" his husky voice rang out. This time around he wasn't with that human slut but he wasn't alone either. His duobus and tribus were with him. I was determined to execute my plan regardless.

"Hello everyone! I hope I'm not intruding but I would love to have a word with Prince Ken please." I said before I could chicken out. I was a huge ball of nerves.

"That's Prince Kenneth for you. Only my girl and my best friends call me Ken," he growled at me.

His friends looked at him and I knew they were mind linking because they soon stood up to leave. I was trying by all means to appear bold and not allow his dominant aura to oppress me.

I cleared my throat and looked at him straight in his eyes. I was an equal to him, nothing forces me to submit to him. "No disrespect my prince but don't you feel it?" I asked him. He looked at me like I just grew horns.

"What on earth are you on about?" he bellowed sounding annoyed. I don't know why this man always sounds irritated with me.

I have heard that only already mated men feel so annoyed with other ladies, but what is it with him? Or is he perhaps mated to that human? Could it be why he is smitten with her?

"The mate pull that is, don't you feel it? Didn't you notice that was why I ran off the first day we met? That was because I was hurting over the fact that my mate happened to be a boyfriend to my only friend in this school." I claimed.

His frown and a low but very intimidating growl emitting from his belly were evident enough that his animal was also getting pissed off.

"Who the hell do you think you are to talk to me in that manner and why would I feel a mate bond with someone who isn't my mate?" he whisper shouted his eyes piercing mine as well as my soul.

I backed off a little to put a distance between us because I felt the tension rising between us. Was I perhaps right he is mated to that human? I shook my head and cautiously spoke.

"What do you mean by someone who isn't your mate? Do you seriously not feel the mating bond or you want to reject and hurt me for a weak human who will only weaken you eventual…"

I couldn't get to finish my sentence as he was by my side in a jiffy, pinning me to the wall while an earth shuttering roar from him shook the office. I was panting for air when I felt his friends tugging and pulling his hands off my neck.

"Get this foul mouthed woman out of my office before I do something I'll regret later." He did not even spare me a glance as his first and second in command pulled me out of his office. I was glad that atleast I accomplished my mission.

I had planted some doubts. If he thought Lucy was his mate, now he will begin to question and doubt it and perhaps give me a chance in his heart.

I shrugged aggressively from Malcolm and Thomas's grips as soon as we were outside his office. I sighed a relief because there were no humans on site, though I was very sure that they might have heard the roar that shook the building.

I walked off rubbing my neck which was on fire. I knew for sure that my neck was red as it had just been strangled by a most powerful grip. I swear, if I wasn't a strong lion I would have passed out right there.

Tears streamed down my face as I walked to where my car was parked, mind linking my bodyguards so we can leave. Torrents of tears began flowing out as soon as I got inside the car. I did not want to stay any second on this school grounds.

I swear by the goddess I'll kill Lucy. Looks like the only way to get what's mine will be by eliminating her first. "Don't be stupid Pat. Don't make any hasty decisions that will put us in trouble." Jacy was going all weak on me again. I was so furious. "Shut up Jace, you are not helping" I snapped at her.

Annoyed she retreated to the back of my mind giving me a growl. I suddenly felt bad for snapping at the only one who is always with me.
