40 Who Did This

"Let's get married tomorrow," I announced to my entire family.

I couldn't wait to be kept away from Derek. If I'm married to Dorian, I'm sure that he'll stay away.

After all, what king would like to be seen with someone else's wife?

I will make sure to explain everything to Dorian after this. The earlier Derek accepts that I'm over him, the better it will be for him and everyone else.

Dorian is the perfect man for me. He stood by me when I was at my lowest. He was my shield when I was alone and miserable. I would never have come this far without him and I will never hurt such a sweet soul.

Even though I can't explain what my feelings are for him, I will still choose to be with him a hundred times over than to be with Derek, my supposed mate who didn't give a shit about my emotion.

"Are you serious? You aren't joking, right?" Dorian had my cheeks cupped as he spoke. "You won't change your mind, right?"

I could see both surprise and happiness in his eyes.
