Bride Of The Alpha King

I don't know how many times I've paced around the room but I couldn't make a decision.

I talked to the girl I met before.

Her name is Meryl and apparently, she's my maid.

Meryl was patient enough to answer all my questions because she thinks I have a slight memory loss from the traumatic experience.

This world isn't like earth.

This is the world of mythical creatures.

A place where werewolves, vampires, and magical things exist.

Aria's father is the king of forest creatures.

He rules the fairies, nymphs, and every creature that depends on the forest.

I had a hard time believing everything she told me.

Maybe this is all a dream....I've heard about people having long dreams when they're in a coma.

Maybe I'm in acoma.

This can't be real, right? How can it be? But the pain feels so real....I tried pinching myself and it hurts like a bitch.

Well, even if it's real or not, I really have to make a decision.

If I don't, I'll be labeled selfish by the whole kingdom.

I think Aria didn't want that.

Maybe that's why she tried to end her life.

But is the Lycan king that bad that someone would choose to end their life rather than be with him? Just what kind of fucked up thing did I get myself into? I groaned and sat down on the bed.

Uhh....what a fluffy bed...It'd be nice to take a big nap cuddling these fluffy pillows.

A knock on the door made me sit up straight.

"Come in" I said in a soft voice.

I didn't want to yell.

That didn't feel very princessy.

Meryl peeked inside before she smiled.

"Princess, it's time for dinner,"

She chirped as she walked inside.

"You should go to the dining hall.Everyone is waiting,"

"Oh...Did you have dinner ?" Meryl tilted her head.

"No, Princess.We always eat after the royal dinner" 

"Oh yes...I forgot"

"You really forgot a lot, didn't you?" Meryl pouted.

"We had a lot of fun growing up but now Princess seems so distant because you forgot it all" I laughed awkwardly while scratching my neck.

"I didn't mean to make you sad, Meryl.My mind still can't take in a lot of things...I apologize—"

"Oh no! Princess doesn't have to apologize! I was just saying..."  I smiled before standing up.

"I'll go to the dining hall then.Do you want to tag along?"

"Okay!"

The dining hall was filled with unfamiliar faces.

Some of them looked at me with sympathy while the others had their nose scrunched up.
