The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

My lips trembled, "What do you mean by that? We are getting married? How?"

I was confused.

A smile was on Killian's face, "I meant exactly what you heard. My words mean you and I are getting married. Without the marriage, you are still mine, I just want to make it official for the public."

"What are you saying? I have not even agreed to date you, talk less of discussing marriage issues. We haven't gotten to that stage yet." I said in an exasperated voice. Killian was running before he could walk.

With the way Killian was looking at me, I knew my words were not sinking in at all.

Confusion clouded Killian's eyes, "What do you mean by 'dating'? Is it something like courtship?"Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"Yes, that is what I am referring to. You haven't even, I don't know, asked me out yet and you are jumping to the thousandth step. Killian, you are going too fast. You didn't ask me if I agree to be in a relationship with you in the first place." I said.

"Heartbeat." He started.

I haven't heard that name in a long while. The name really made my heart skip. It had some kind of magic attached to it.

Killian continued, "You and I are made for each other. You complete me and I complete you, that's my belief. I don't think I can stomach you accepting the courtship of somebody else. Edna, I can't bear to see another man getting all your love and the companionship you would give for the rest of your life."

"Wow, slow down buddy." I said.

"See Edna, I can wait for a long time. You are worth it. You can take as much time as you want to think and deliberate about it, you have all the time in the world. What I won't accept is you dating somebody else like you said. I can't accept anyone stealing you for me. I don't know if you understand me." Killian explained further.

His explanation only did one thing. It made his intentions very clear. This man-or alien-wasn't planning on letting me go at all.

He didn't give me varied options. There was either a yes or an eventual yes as options.

I raised a brow, "You said we were getting marriage, fine. The next thing you talked about was how you will give me time to think about my decision of being with you. Killian, don't you think you are being contradictory?"

"Marriage is just for the public and I won't lie, it is for me too. It wouldn't make or break anything for us. I am still going to give you all the time you need to make your decision. I am just performing one of the things we are going to do eventually. One of the reasons this marriage is needed is because I want you to assume your position as Queen officially." Killian chuckled.

The raw obsession intertwined with his words and his sharp golden eyes ignited something in me.

Killian fit all my bills. He footed all my requirements. In my opinion there's nothing to complain about before I knew Killian was the King of Aliens, I was willing to give a relationship with him a chance. There is no need to be pretentious.

Since I have already made up my mind to give Killian a chance, I should go ahead with it. If my experience with him turns out to the horrible, I will improvise when the problem arises. That was something the future me would pore over. I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

I locked eyes with Killian's golden pupils, "I'm willing to give our future together a try. I don't know what the future holds but I hope we stick together."

I meant my words sincerely.

I don't think I want to find out about Killian's means when it turns out that we weren't compatible.

The way I am seeing things, even if we weren't compatible, Killian would make sure things were amended.

Like he said, a life without him wasn't an option.

The most beautiful smile I have ever seen on anyone, bloomed on Killian lips. Sincerely, he took my breath away.

His happiness was basically radiating off him. It was infectious.

My lips curved upwards too.

"Edna, thank you so much for giving us a chance. I promise to love you to the ends of this world and back. You are and will still be my priority in everything." Killian gushed.

His enthusiasm and appreciation was full of momentum. He even forgot his rule about not saying thank you to each other.

His joy was too obvious.

My ears reddened.

Killian was overreacting. He was acting like he just won the lottery. He made me feel like my words were precious.

I could see that my willingness to try a life with him, impressed him greatly.

Seeing him happy made me happy too.

Then something came to my mind. I almost forgot.

I glared at Killian playfully, "I thought you said you were going to tell me your life story? Are you trying to avoid it by distracting me with this whole marriage get up?" Killian leaned forward. He bit the tip of my nose softly before straightening his posture.

"You are so smart, Heartbeat. Try to cool your hotness and smartness down. Give me a chance to show off sometime." Killian joked.

A red cloud bloomed on my cheeks.

I punched Killian playfully, "Tell me about your story. Don't try to take my mind off it. Since we are officially in a relationship now, I have to know more about your background. I am not about to date a stranger."

"Okay, okay." Killian raised his hand up in surrender, "You win. I was an illegitimate son."

"What?!" I didn't know when the exclamation dropped from my lips.

Killian smiled, "You don't have to be too shocked or sorry. It happened in the past. I have moved past all those things. Back to where I left off. My father was the former King. He was a promiscuous man and he spilled his seeds everywhere. My mother was the personal maid to the Queen herself. You can imagine the Queen's anger after she saw her husband sleeping with her maid."

"Hope things weren't so hard for you growing up?" I asked in a small voice.

I knew it was a stupid question.

My mouth went ahead to say it anyway.

Killian chuckled, "Heartbeat, you know that kind of scenario is unrealistic. My mother was sold to the palace as a maid by her father. She had nobody to turn to when the Queen started to retaliate against her. After giving birth to me, she died. The circumstances surrounding her death is unclear but everyone in the palace knew who did it. My mother's death was the orchestration of the Queen." "What happened after that?" I asked.

From the moment I landed on this planet, till the time I saw Killian, I did not hear anything about a King's brother or sibling. It seemed Killian's siblings disappeared into thin air. Something huge must have happened back then.

"I won't to go into the details about how I was treated as I matured into adulthood." Killian continued, "Finally, my father died. All his sons and even daughters, had their eyes on the throne. It didn't matter if their ancestry was illegitimate or not. Growing up in this kind of situation, taught me how to survive. I figured out that getting the throne would add to my authority and power so I went for it. The Queen tried to help her only son, the crown Prince unto the throne. She tried to get rid of me and I made sure her plans backfired."

"If the Queen was still alive, I would have tried to exercise my fists on her for what she made you go through. It wasn't your fault that your father slept with your mother. Can't she think? I don't know the exact situation but the fact is simple. You are innocent, you didn't force your mother or the King to have sexual intercourse. The Queen shouldn't take her anger out on you." I said.

"I know you might be thinking about the outcome of my siblings, illegitimate or not." Killian commented, "I killed them all. Leaving any of them alive is going to be jeopardy in the making."
