Rejecting The Future Queen

Chapter 10

Yasmyn's POV

I refused to walk in. The man before me is smiling at me. I would have smiled back and talked to him under different circumstances but now is not the time.

"Let us be civil and have the conversation here in the common area," I smiled at Colton.

Adi looked at me, slightly taken aback. But the moment I slightly widened my eyes and tilted my head, he got the point.

Colton gave me a slight bow that almost made me think that he was mocking me. I did not pay him much attention before I walked to the common area and sat on the couch.

The guest house has two wings. And twenty rooms in each wing. And then there is a common area with eight couches and fifteen chairs. Two tables. And the dining hall is huge enough to feed two hundred people at once.

"Why here? The guards can hear us, sister" Adi said with his eyebrows raised at me.

"We have Rogue King and his brother in the guest house. Isn't that gossip worthy already, brother?" I asked him back to which he simply shrugged his shoulders and looked towards the room that I saw Colton in.

If he is a Rogue, then why did I not pick up the scent?

Oh right. I don't have my wolf yet. The smelling abilities come from the wolf and I don't have that one. So convenient for The Moon Goddess to push the plot twist in my life.

Colton then walked out of the room along with his brother. They kind of look alike. Not in the twins kind of way but siblings kind of way. Like how Raul looks a lot like Adi.

"Good morning, Your Majesty" Colton said with the same smirk.

Damn this meeting is going to be so hard but I bet I can do this without revealing that Colton and I have a past.

"Good morning. I can call you your Majesty too considering you are a King. But I don't consider Rogues as a species. So I'm afraid you are not a King in my eyes," I said and Adi looked at me in horror.

This was not his script. I know. I should be civil. That was my plan but the moment I saw Colton, I could feel the betrayal. The way he didn't tell me who he was and was friends with me.

He called himself a trader. Trader my foot. I bet he was there because he knew I was there. Or maybe, he saw me by accident and then decided to have a fling.

My blood is boiling now. How come all the men are assholes? Are there no men who are true to themselves and the girl they choose? Be it for a fling or the one Moon Goddess chose.

"Yeah well think what you want to, Queen. We are what we are and I don't think we should prove things to you. We are fine the way we are," Colton said with his classic right eyebrow raising when something triggers him.

And at the moment, it's me. I am triggering him. Great. Because the feeling is mutual.

"This is my brother. Alan," Colton said as he tinted his head towards his brother.

I gave Alan a quick glance before fixating my eyes on Colton. He ran his tongue over his lower lip and I know what he is probably thinking. That only makes me want to kick him and send him back to where he came from.

"What do you want to talk about?" I asked him and he relaxed more into his seat.

"We are here with a request, Your Majesty" he said and I chuckled.

Adi looks like he knows this is a disaster. I know that he is going to give me an earful later on but that is the least of my concerns now. I can deal with my brother later on.

"You don't look like someone who is here with a request. Your body language is-"

"Bothering you?" He cut me off and it was my turn to raise my eyebrow at him.

"Irritating me," I finished talking with a smirk.

"If you don't mind, Your Majesty. How about we both deal with it like adults? Talk in private where people wouldn't hear us?" Colton asked me.

I should be saying No. And honestly, that is exactly what I should be telling him. But weirdly, I found myself nodding my head.

Probably because I want to listen to what he wants to say. Or because I want to punch him harder than I punched Brendan last night.

Colton and I walked into the room he was staying in. And the moment I walked in, he closed the door behind us.

Before I knew what he was doing, I was already on the bed and his lips were against mine, moving like he was hungry for a long time.

And me?

Well, I kissed him back.
