When I arrived back home, I felt more eerked than ever before. I still wasn't sure how I wanted our date to go, making my emotions bop all over the place. On one hand, I have quite a few eligible men in my life I wouldn't mind pursuing. On the other hand, Derek could give me my kingdom back, and I could potentially love him one day.
Derek didn't divulge any timelines to me, but I knew he had to pick a queen by his next birthday, which was sometime later this year. I guess I will stay single until then. But goddess, I hated playing the waiting game. I hated not knowing what was going to happen in my life. I felt like I was always at the mercy of others. My father. My first mate. My second mate. Keres. Derek. I was getting sick of letting other people rule my life.
