After we got out of the carriage, the butlers had took our bags and the maids showed us to our rooms. Turns out, my room was next to Cian's but I shared it with Evander as we were the leaders. However, Cian had turned into a stone with how angry he got over the shared rooms which in return Evander had tried to politely tell me it would be better if I share the room with Cian.

Despite how different the king's room was compared to mine, he instantly agreed without letting me give it a thought. To which Evander had smirked secretly as he mouthed 'whipped' behind Cian.

I looked down as the thought of sharing a room with Cian had made me feel giddy and excited. But I didn't want to show it.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTVNsBlgnO
As we made our ways to the rooms, I had my luggage inside, Nemesis and Lycus were with us the whole time, they were counted as familiars for my job. Even though that's not what it really is.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ydcglguje
Once we were inside, Cian had closed the door and locked it to which my heart pounded even more,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40AtkNE7Ph
what is he going to do,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KP0I4qY6S
To my confusion he just stood there watching me, his eyes swirled with confusion, love and adoration, the emotions that he looked at me with were unrecognizable to me, I've never been looked at the same way he does,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpujw6nKYB9
I gulped as he stepped closer, and I subconsciously stepped backwards,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc0XARSeXs
He could easily catch up with me, but I could tell he enjoyed chasing me slowly like a predator would with its prey.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s9Nj6Tw3d
Then my back hit against a hard surface, I was pressed against the wall as he leaned down to be eye level with me,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ569xaiTSo2
His minty breath fanned my face with the proximity of our closeness, he then lowly whispered with his deep voice
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4RTvdHcVU
"You have been very cautious lately, my love"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBKqqMkrku
I gulped audibly at his words, dreading the question that was about to get out of his lips,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KMgKH1AAr
"Tell us, little mate, what's wrong, di we scare you?"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJht02TmMzt
I looked up as I sensed his voice getting deeper, the yellow in his eyes had alarmingly surfaced over the brown in his eyes, but they were shadowed with sorrow and pain, yet the unrecognizable intensity still visible in them.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTDqNot6Vj
I wasn't scared, I know he could rip me to shreds but I don't think he is emotionally capable of that, and by the looks of it, he is my soulmate and I his mate,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0DMx1xb9e
he doesn't seem to reject the mating bond either, quite the opposite actually,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaJ8H0WhNK
So I was thinking, maybe I could tell him,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphA5xHcjB0
Maybe I could open up and tell him that I have developed feelings towards him,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ixhYmeojB
That I love him.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiXTnuBJr0
I opened my mouth, not knowing how to get the words out as my lips moved with no audible sound coming out,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRVYLMX45G
He took that as a sign of confirming his suspicions,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuybMD9RoC3
His shoulders sagged as he was about to turn around,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VqKdKFAJd
I couldn't let him go without him knowing,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzihbGWn3Nt
I grabbed his arm and pulled him towards me, crashing his body against mine as I cupped his cheeks and brought his face closer to mine,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfUoLzzEOv
"I need you to listen carefully because I don't know any other way that I can say this"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0W8F2vwIE
His eyes swirled with hope, a struggle of desperation wanting to resurface in them,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUCXB5RGYC
I took in a breath "I am horrible at this, I have never felt this way towards anyone but you"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCqsvWEp8k
He opened his mouth but I shook my head at him, he waited for me to continue,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa3rc1mB36
"I don't know how to do this, Cian. I've never been taught to properly understand my feelings, I've never displayed any type of emotion to anyone nor to myself, what I feel with you around, to me, is frightening"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPw48LQ5ln
The hope in his eyes diminished as his lips were starting to form into an involuntary frown, he started speaking, hurt evident in his voice,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye2OyuEgdz
"My queen, we are sorry to scare you. Our intent is not to be scary or come off as rough, but I swear on our love for you, that our intentions are always innocent with you, we want a life with you and only you. If you decide that you do not want a life with us, that is okay, we will always love you" his eyes teared up "W-We accept anything that our beautiful mate wants even if-"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzddiY6kJiY
"I love you, Cian"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn3xQu2CUk
"Yes, even if you love us-"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbBLGZL0lL
This time he cut himself off, eyes widened in shock,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZXeklEOfj
a few seconds passed by with neither of us saying anything,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKekRIsGBl
I had started getting worried, but before I could speak up, his eyes had turned into the most beautiful color of yellow and brown as the yellow constantly tried to surface over the brown, his face had bloomed into happiness as he broke into the most beautiful smile I've ever seen.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT13pcEa4E
"M-Mate loves us?"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzFDijWBB4
His cheeks flushed a slight pink as he couldn't surpass his childish happiness.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIOJ3hjMu6
I broke into a smile of my own,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk5W3Jr2dn
"Yes, I love you, Cian"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwIDn15MBX
The yellow in his eyes finally took over as a slightly jumpy Cian had his eyes turn yellow with the brown streaks barely visible yet trying to resurface again,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhfhga2DmM
"W-What about m-me"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qmj9zJwbB
I giggled at the childish jealousy that Helios displayed,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyPUhwCFt1
"I love you too, Helios, if I say I love Cian, it means that I love you both. Because you are both one for me. You are my first and hopefully my only one forever"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SxXDjgYX3
Helios purred, it was odd for a wolf that was known for his aggressive behavior and murderous intentions.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez4QGbiXVx
His eyebrows furrowed after a second, his voice was thick with the deepness of both Cian's and Helios's voice being mixed as they both claimed,
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Le0JCRHVT
"No, not hopefully, we will always definitely be your only one as you are for us, always"
