Chapter 5 Her nightmare

  • Patricia
  • 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 going to 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 livid, 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 myself 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.
