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.
264Please respect copyright.PENANASlSIE0tofH
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.
264Please respect copyright.PENANAxl3DchAZ6y
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.
264Please respect copyright.PENANAYjXZDc5lS9
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.
264Please respect copyright.PENANAqBL5lEXTaV
Once we were inside, Cian had closed the door and locked it to which my heart pounded even more,
264Please respect copyright.PENANAmYjxKZqtD2
what is he going to do,
264Please respect copyright.PENANAb7ipy6dH5i
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,
264Please respect copyright.PENANA84xQv7iRsU
I gulped as he stepped closer, and I subconsciously stepped backwards,
264Please respect copyright.PENANAnEbYrzFSwy
He could easily catch up with me, but I could tell he enjoyed chasing me slowly like a predator would with its prey.
264Please respect copyright.PENANAKy6BUUBOhd
Then my back hit against a hard surface, I was pressed against the wall as he leaned down to be eye level with me,
264Please respect copyright.PENANAcv9HRTBP8z
His minty breath fanned my face with the proximity of our closeness, he then lowly whispered with his deep voice
264Please respect copyright.PENANAJRnbAYxfeA
"You have been very cautious lately, my love"
264Please respect copyright.PENANA7SPqX1bS1I
I gulped audibly at his words, dreading the question that was about to get out of his lips,
264Please respect copyright.PENANAbSbzP521ox
"Tell us, little mate, what's wrong, di we scare you?"
264Please respect copyright.PENANAFnJteLGKbA
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.
264Please respect copyright.PENANAb92i6VaiTd
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,
264Please respect copyright.PENANASLAp3w7QGT
he doesn't seem to reject the mating bond either, quite the opposite actually,
264Please respect copyright.PENANAI9cdbYpAlO
So I was thinking, maybe I could tell him,
264Please respect copyright.PENANA7UkqbTY4I5
Maybe I could open up and tell him that I have developed feelings towards him,
264Please respect copyright.PENANAm6PSFIcmAM
That I love him.
264Please respect copyright.PENANAaJg1sHFzz9
I opened my mouth, not knowing how to get the words out as my lips moved with no audible sound coming out,
264Please respect copyright.PENANAe5sW9u6KwW
He took that as a sign of confirming his suspicions,
264Please respect copyright.PENANAmnJHvzDp1A
His shoulders sagged as he was about to turn around,
264Please respect copyright.PENANAdIh7JKzlec
I couldn't let him go without him knowing,
264Please respect copyright.PENANAJWtO4VOivk
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,
264Please respect copyright.PENANArzt2BRb91h
"I need you to listen carefully because I don't know any other way that I can say this"
264Please respect copyright.PENANAAzAQj9HBNq
His eyes swirled with hope, a struggle of desperation wanting to resurface in them,
264Please respect copyright.PENANACfaGJQbVAV
I took in a breath "I am horrible at this, I have never felt this way towards anyone but you"
264Please respect copyright.PENANA2PTSaOIKYR
He opened his mouth but I shook my head at him, he waited for me to continue,
264Please respect copyright.PENANA1QyeVOEIvI
"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"
264Please respect copyright.PENANA4yYuKa8n83
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,
264Please respect copyright.PENANAtPFeepNARz
"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-"
264Please respect copyright.PENANAeedsjjH0aS
"I love you, Cian"
264Please respect copyright.PENANA4Dcql5BDLU
"Yes, even if you love us-"
264Please respect copyright.PENANAVkVZ99f77w
This time he cut himself off, eyes widened in shock,
264Please respect copyright.PENANAqyyvndtGDQ
a few seconds passed by with neither of us saying anything,
264Please respect copyright.PENANAL31hoVdRZZ
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.
264Please respect copyright.PENANAFnASzX2zfD
"M-Mate loves us?"
264Please respect copyright.PENANAuWx8KZhFkO
His cheeks flushed a slight pink as he couldn't surpass his childish happiness.
264Please respect copyright.PENANAhNanJ67Kiz
I broke into a smile of my own,
264Please respect copyright.PENANA8GA9hb92WH
"Yes, I love you, Cian"
264Please respect copyright.PENANASppeoZJxRL
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,
264Please respect copyright.PENANAAs1dMY28Uv
"W-What about m-me"
264Please respect copyright.PENANAFKipqg0G6Q
I giggled at the childish jealousy that Helios displayed,
264Please respect copyright.PENANA6oNY9QOTxX
"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"
264Please respect copyright.PENANAr13If3iknS
Helios purred, it was odd for a wolf that was known for his aggressive behavior and murderous intentions.
264Please respect copyright.PENANAWhOrr6NkMM
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,
264Please respect copyright.PENANAOMxI1qbtBN
"No, not hopefully, we will always definitely be your only one as you are for us, always"
