I knew everyone was shocked just like me. But I was too puzzled to come out with a match. Lee was my rival indeed but a well-wisher too. If not, he would have never saved me from these people.
And he was telling me to marry him that would make me his wife as well as the Queen of Phoenix. He was sane, for sure. However, he was doing this for me. If I said no, I would have to leave this place and give up on finding mom out.
If I said otherwise that means yes, there would be no necessity to go back or give up. I would need to stay here, stay with him and his family as a member of this pack. I was still battling with my thoughts and mind both whilst Lee started counting the three seconds he had given me. "One."
I noticed one thing that no one was daring to approach him or me. It was the power of a King, I thought.
