Alpha's Queen

Alpha's Queen - Chapter Seven

~HER SIDE~

It feels like i am suffocating right now… i just graduated from college, i am doing na internship and i am enjoying it, however John came over to my house on my free day to talk to me.

When he got here he started by giving my work for today and we went on in silent and changing ideas whenever we got stuck on some problem.

~After work~

“Finally!” i said as i jumped out of my chair to grab some tea

“Can we talk a bit about something really important now?”

“John? Are you okay? Whats wrong?” he sounded too serious and was getting me nervous and thinking he was in some kind of problem

He sighs “im ok, just… theres a little thing i need to talk to you… about your future as queen” he said, still too serious

“okay the, it must be serious by the look on your face, let’s talk!”

“you see… you are already 21 years-old, and you are this country’s queen, and despite the fact you’ve been doing a great Job, everyone at the castle thinks the queen should be one hundred percent in ruling, so you have to stop the internship and everything else in your life and just rule our country”

I was left speechless as he finished what he was saying ‘me finishing internship without even completing it? Why? If i have been doing a good Job unti now why are they doing this? What have i done wrong?’  i thought to myself

“i…i-i would like to know what happened for you to be asking something like this……when….when you know i want to finish this internship and have a life of my own besides being queen”  i told him, while stuttering and holding tears in my eyes…

“well thats the problem! You just think about yourself and your happiness! You…you just think of what you want! How can you be so selfish?!”

“me selfish? Are you listening to yourself? I have not been selfish! I was studying to get my degree, i have been working so i dont wase any of the country’s money as queen and i have been doing my work as queen! And you said it yourself, you said i was doing a good Job!” i was holding myself so bad so i wouldnt cry in front of him, i was so mad but so mad.

“yeah, you have been doing a goob Job, however its not enough! This country need their queen! This country’s people need their queen to protect them and to be by their side! Put your people first! You have to be this country’s Queen!”

I felt like s**t, what else could i do? Cant i hold to my happiness at the same time as i am their queen?
