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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLnBcPtPsz
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFhmlNJphK
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx60wLV3Trt
Once we were inside, Cian had closed the door and locked it to which my heart pounded even more,
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B7egIocxL
what is he going to do,
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskr9RUWTdv
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,
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1slGYbYT3r
I gulped as he stepped closer, and I subconsciously stepped backwards,
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg2VJmlaBo
He could easily catch up with me, but I could tell he enjoyed chasing me slowly like a predator would with its prey.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNeq1N8eYD
Then my back hit against a hard surface, I was pressed against the wall as he leaned down to be eye level with me,
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7oRhwdKxO
His minty breath fanned my face with the proximity of our closeness, he then lowly whispered with his deep voice
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0NMkcrFCv
"You have been very cautious lately, my love"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnTbVwWyTB
I gulped audibly at his words, dreading the question that was about to get out of his lips,
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPdf6LhLhl
"Tell us, little mate, what's wrong, di we scare you?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GvaUtzlBj
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5Yq49r0BY
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,
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKPabz3ZL3
he doesn't seem to reject the mating bond either, quite the opposite actually,
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgbabyQR1w
So I was thinking, maybe I could tell him,
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx4Djnn85G
Maybe I could open up and tell him that I have developed feelings towards him,
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayxbuFvT4g
That I love him.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwiXlIjpzY
I opened my mouth, not knowing how to get the words out as my lips moved with no audible sound coming out,
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKazwnmFWq
He took that as a sign of confirming his suspicions,
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bKXIxSEkV
His shoulders sagged as he was about to turn around,
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeWLIrZE2i
I couldn't let him go without him knowing,
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHLdyrYeTV
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,
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8mmi1J79N
"I need you to listen carefully because I don't know any other way that I can say this"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrMzsytzTF
His eyes swirled with hope, a struggle of desperation wanting to resurface in them,
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZk4XBKDrN
I took in a breath "I am horrible at this, I have never felt this way towards anyone but you"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NtcwiXG5b
He opened his mouth but I shook my head at him, he waited for me to continue,
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXLufeGayK
"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"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdcoUagQRN
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,
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGS7oBxnx2
"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-"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTRnKGJWrH
"I love you, Cian"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NLCxdXEPq
"Yes, even if you love us-"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCPtJJR4Kh
This time he cut himself off, eyes widened in shock,
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRUKTF3EV8
a few seconds passed by with neither of us saying anything,
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMb0ay69RI
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqHeX6CU04
"M-Mate loves us?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGgeKyIID3
His cheeks flushed a slight pink as he couldn't surpass his childish happiness.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNrfyKiu8n
I broke into a smile of my own,
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliAwJ0cYI0
"Yes, I love you, Cian"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtU5go190E
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,
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nTDL3TrsB
"W-What about m-me"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOf6Rz7KD2
I giggled at the childish jealousy that Helios displayed,
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUS2Jjw7Wz
"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"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c64M6Mcef
Helios purred, it was odd for a wolf that was known for his aggressive behavior and murderous intentions.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUBTRYRxwk
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,
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKPN4icH0C
"No, not hopefully, we will always definitely be your only one as you are for us, always"
