Chapter 4 - The King 2

"Hey Thea"

Before I get a chance to look at him, Max lifts me up on his shoulder and starts to run outside my room towards the main entrance of the Mansion.

"MAX... Put me down..!!!" I order him mortified.

of course, he doesn't listen, instead he laughs it off like I am joking.

Everyone is staring at us and I am So embarrassed to say the least.

"What the hell Max! why are you kidnapping me"? I know I am a book worm, but this is too much.

"If I tell you, I am sure you wouldn't come. So we planned like this" he said amused.

"And where is it that you are taking me?" I enquire annoyed.

"His highness came back from his tour"

"so.. " I ask him confused.

King Darius Atticus left a month ago to solve some conflict between a pack and the local vampires. I saw him once from behind when he killed a bear shifter for violating the laws of the shifters. The shifter killed a human woman.

All the shapeshifters come under his rule. They are bear shifters and panthers as well. But they just have a pack each. Their population is less compared to the wolfs.

That's the last time I saw him and I would like to keep it that way.

He is not cruel like I read in so many articles back home. In fact he is a good king, who rules with an iron fist to protect the shifters as well as the humans.

"So.. let's introduce our nerd to the king" Max said excitedly.

"You know I don't want to meet him. And how do you plan to introduce me?" he always does things on impulse.

"Simple, I will throw you at him." he laughs like a maniac.

"Max. " I yell at him horrified.

He laughs even louder.

"Don't worry dear nerd, I will show him from afar"

I sigh.. as the worry leaves me. It's not like l don't like the guy. In fact I feel this weird pull to approach him and hug him and forget about everything else. It's weird and embarrassing. So I never shared this little tid bit with anyone.

My opinion on him changed so much after I came here. He is not at all what people claimed him to be.

He is a good person. Till now I never spoke to him, I didn't even saw his face, apparently today it's going to change.
