Chapter Eleven
For all Chloe knew, she wasn’t ready to make any decisions or choice on the subject matter, so dragging her in the middle of the problem was a sure more emotional heartbreak for her.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
For once in her life, she never thought, that she would be of importance in any way to the point where two princes wrestle their tongues for her, all she wanted was a simple life of less attention. But lately, only the opposite of whatever she wanted has always happened.
“Please come up here my dear.” The seer stretched her hands out to Chloe, calling her to come up to the stand and make a decision. Chloe couldn’t even move her feet, her toes became weak and stale, she bowed her head and wept bitterly.
She has gone through enough in her life already, the constant hatred, gossip heads and worst nightmares she has had to deal with since her parents death, now look, this issue now, Chloe was sure she would never make a decision today.
“Come on, you both go support Chloe and help her up here, she needs to make a decision to clear all of this up, go help her.” The seer then commanded the two guards that stood like statues. Going over to where Chloe sat, they extended their hands to help her up but Chloe refuses to move an inch.
She was not only crying bitterly but she was shaking badly and didn’t want to go up to the stand and make a decision about whom she wanted to be with.
Aiden could see from his view that Chloe was scared and tensed from all that was happening, for a moment he wanted to stop the whole thing and ask everyone to retire home, he hated to see Chloe hurt but the seer has asked Chloe to come up so there was nothing he could do now.
He went close to where she sat, bending on one knee, he looked into her beautiful eyes and smiled widely, encouraging her to stand up and go over to where the seer has asked her to come to.
“Come on now, trust me.” Holding his right hands up to her, Chloe looked away from him but she couldn’t resist letting her hands slide into his palms and then he helped her to stand up from her chair leading her to the stage to go speak like the seer wanted.
Liam wasn’t just so mad that Aiden helped Chloe and made it look like he is the one who truly loves her, he was so jealous that he didn’t think of such idea, that would have lighted Chloe up and given him a fair chance to getting picked by her.
“Anyways, nothing to fear, I will always have my chances, Chloe comes from my pack and I can give her instructions or better still make her dance to my own tune so whatever charm he has on her surely will work for today alone.” So he thought.
Chloe was now facing the whole crowd with her hands still intact with that of Prince Aiden he wouldn’t let her stand on her own because he knew she was nervous and might lose her step and fall if more pressure of questions are fired at her.
“Don’t be scared dear child, a lot has happened here today before our eyes and we must understand the pains you must be going through, we understand, really___but there’s only one way to clear all of this up and that is by having to make a decision that stands right with you.”
The seer patted Chloe’s back gently, warming her up and reminding her that nothing could ever go wrong if she made her own decision.
“Everyone here would accept whomever you choose here today as your mate and you will immediately be marked and moved to that person, so you see you won’t be treated badly, only you will be able to make a right decision for yourself and no one will oppose that.”
No matter what sweet words the seer kept rendering to Chloe, she already saw her heart and the confusion that resided in it, she knew for sure that Chloe is not going to be able to make any decisions as regards whatever she was saying.
Chloe stood there numb, her lips folded in between to her mouth, still clutching tightly to the tight thick surface of prince Aiden’s hands, with her long ball dress been the only shield to hide how scared and trembling her feets were, she wished heavily in her heart that all of this will just go away with a twinkle of an eye set.
“Alright, Chloe. We have stood here long enough waiting for you to just go on and make a choice, do that at once and stop wasting our time, we tired already.” Emily couldn’t help it anymore, her stance was no longer helping her. So she screamed those words in her mind, but the seer could see the mind of everyone and for a reason Emily had forgotten about that.
“Oh well, it’s been a really long day and it isn’t such a good one for Chloe as well, so for the sake of the night’s dawn that’s drawing closer by every minute and seconds we can get, I would love to give Miss. Chloe here a break, this is a tough decision and she must not be rushed into making a hasty one. So Chloe we all are giving you a space of one full month till the next red moon rise to make a decision about which of the two young men you would love to settle with.”
Chloe’s eyes lit up in excitement immediately she heard the words from the seer, one month wasn’t enough but it is a sure way for her to get her sanity now and think about everything later.
“No just one month, Chloe. Take your time and think about all of this. I’ll wait for you, anytime you are ready to make I choice, I will accept that.” Prince Aiden said as he cancelled the seer’s duration period.
