Chereads / A Royal Rebirth / Chapter 7 - Her nightmare

Chapter 7 - Her nightmare

Patricia's POV

I held onto my head as it was spinning like I was in a roller-coaster wheel at the carnival. I became light headed. 'Pat, don't embarrass us. Get ahold of yourself. You know these werelions can smell your emotions, do you want to freak our mate out?' Jacy my lioness warned me.

I tried by all means but my heart was swelling up, not in a good way at all. I needed some air, this place was getting too small for all of us.

I wish I could shift and tear this bitch to pieces for even standing in the same place, and breathing the same air as my prince.

'He is mine Jacy, mine. How dare this mere pathetic human stole him?' Jacy sneered at me as she retreated to the back of my mind.

I didn't react to the introduction and I didn't even hear how she introduced me to him. I needed to get out of here and fast before I made a huge mistake of revealing my identity.

I cleared my throat, "nice to meet you, but I need to use the ladies" I said already on my way hiding the tears that welled in my eyes. I'm very sure that I must have appeared like a weirdo to them.

I ran as fast as I could. I wish I could shift into my lioness right here right now and run into the woods and let loose. I could hear my heart shuttering into pieces. I had developed love for someone I hadn't seen before or even his picture, in an anticipation to make him fall for me at first sight.

I went into the bathroom stall, locked it and plumped into the toilet seat as torrents of tears flowed down my cheeks. I can't believe I got heartbroken even before he knew I was his by royal decree.

How could a mere human make me feel so shitty? I swear on the goddess I'm gonna make her pay for this. I'll rip her throat off and tear her to pieces.

I don't know how long it had been since I ran but I heard a knock followed by her annoying voice. "Pat, are you in there dear? Is everything okay? Are you not feeling well?" she queried like she was a concerned mom. To someone else, that would have been too sweet but not to me.

The nerve of this bitch! Who does she think she is? 'Go away you sorry piece of stinky human flesh. ' I wish I could curse her out loud but I couldn't. I needed to maintain the facade of my "innocent" character and device a plan to get my man back. He is mine!

I cleared my throat and pretended to be unwell. "My tummy hurts a little Lucy, thanks for caring. I think I'll head home after this. Please don't worry, go back to your friends I'll be okay. I'm sorry for appearing rude in front of your boyfriend, I'll apologize to him." I lied through my teeth. I only wanted to get rid of her stenchy scent quickly.

"Oh don't worry about that girl, my Kenneth is a rare gem. He'll understand. No hard feelings." She said sounding so proud.

How dare she calls my future husband hers? I'll teach her a painful lesson once she gets to know my true self. I was now fuming, this girl will be the death of me if I don't get rid of her ASAP.

Thank God that she left. I checked if there was anybody left in the bathroom, I then retouched my makeup and sneaked out making sure that I didn't pass by where I left them standing. I went straight to my bodyguards and we left.

I was so angry! No, to say I was angry is an understatement, I was fuming, I was furious! I sat down to think how I should get this man to fall in love with me!

"Kenneth Paige, you are mine and mine alone. What is your business with this human? How can you, a whole Royal lion be willing to go so low? How did you end up with a stinking human? Can't you see how strong and beautiful I am? Me, your kind, and chosen mate?" I said all this while admiring my self in front of a full body mirror.

"Don't worry, I'll make you fall in love with me. If you don't, then too bad, you still won't escape me. We may not be bound by fate but we definitely are bound by that treaty. You may shag the human all you want but ultimately, you will be mine, mine and mine alone." I wished I could be telling this to his face.

I figured out that I should be friendly and lure him until he falls in love with me. I'm very sure that he will forget that pathetic human, why would he choose a weak human over a strong were-lioness? He knows that a human will only make him weak and lose his strength as a ruler.

A human cannot even protect herself, she will only need him to be with her all the time. And how will she give him strong cubs? Hybrids are never strong. Their leadership will only be susceptible to challenges in the future. I am very sure that he will reconsider once he sees me.

The following day I dressed up nicely, I didn't care if anybody would see how rich I am. I wanted to impress Kenneth. I also needed to find out places that he hangs out at on campus so that I can appear as many times as possible in those places.

I knew that it wasn't going to be easy, especially that his second and third in command are always flanking him, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. I have got to try.

I heard that he's a secretary general for the Student Representative Council, so I knew where their offices were. I went straight there.

I braced myself as I knocked on his office door. I could scent him from inside the office so I knew he was inside and alone. Perfect!

"Come in!" a husky voice sounded. I was suddenly nervous because I didn't know how he was going to react.

I stepped inside his office. "Hi! Uhmm, I'm sorry about yesterday. I didn't mean to be rude I suddenly felt sick so I had to go. I hope you didn't hold that against me. So I thought I should come and apologize." I said in a nervous tone.

He just stood there looking at me with a frown. I swear, that made me look ridiculous in front of him and I looked down at my clothes to check whether there was something wrong with them, but they were okay. I wondered why he was looking at me with a frown, which made me lose my confidence.

Instead of staring at him I dropped my gaze and looked at my feet. He cleared his throat and said "you didn't have to apologize but thanks for the decency and courteous gesture." A smile crept up my face. I was glad that at least he accepted my apology.

I thought it was a good time for me to properly introduce myself. "I, Uhmm! I'm not sure if Lucy introduced me properly because I had to leave quickly but I am Princess Patricia Bratton of the Northern Kingdom Pride, daughter of the current King Lovett Bratton the first." I said holding out my hand for a shake.

He stared at it for a while before he shook it. He somehow looked annoyed at me or something. That made my face fall. I guess he noticed it because he then said, "Prince Kenneth Paige, from Western Kingdom Pride. Nice to meet you too!"

I smiled seductively but acted as if I didn't know who he was. "My pleasure my prince. Good to have your acquaintance. At least I can say my stay at the University won't be that bad since I will be close to my kind" I said emphasizing the word "my kind" deliberately.

He kept a straight face. Up till now he hadn't even offered me a chair. A tap sounded at the door followed by a push and then the annoying squeaky voice of this human husband thief sounded. "Hey babe! How are y…." she paused when her eyes fell on me. I smirked which made her a bit confused as her gaze fell on Kenneth inquisitively.
