Chapter 367: Controlling Our Fate
“You’re a smart girl. You got that right, Mila. You are indeed my mate,” the prince replied calmly and I could tell that he was dead serious about this.
“Are you serious?” I blurted, although it felt like I already knew the answer.
“I wouldn’t joke about this,” he replied.
“But how could that be?” I asked while feeling very stunned.
“Why are you so surprised? Honestly, I thought that you would have figured it out by now. Even if you do not know the concept of mates, don’t you realize that you’re very attracted to me?” the prince asked if rest lips curved into a mischievous smirk.
My lips quivered and I was at a total loss for words. It might be true that I was very attracted to the prince but I never realized that he also realized it and I couldn’t believe that he was actually pointing it out directly to my face. I felt heat rushed to my cheeks and I had to avert my eyes from his gaze.
“I apologize for being so direct but you don’t have to be shy about it. If it helps, I’m just as attracted to you as you are attracted to me. I found myself very drawn to you since the first time, no, maybe even before the first time that I actually laid eyes on you,” the prince said as his blue eyes continued to watch my every reaction.
His words were so direct and I didn’t know how to react to them. It felt like he was confessing his feelings to me and my heart raced rapidly in my chest as my inner core throbbed with heat. At first I felt embarrassed but when the meaning of his words slowly sank in, a very warm feeling blossomed inside of my chest and I realized just how happy I was.
“In more human terms, does this mean that we are sort of made for each other?” I asked hopefully.
