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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb4R3B1v9W
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFvp44tsp2
Once we were inside, Cian had closed the door and locked it to which my heart pounded even more,
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dx4e4Wq4M
what is he going to do,
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnKlt2FysW
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,
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG1RIe9YTH
I gulped as he stepped closer, and I subconsciously stepped backwards,
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDshhVWMxOr
He could easily catch up with me, but I could tell he enjoyed chasing me slowly like a predator would with its prey.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BuNa34AWS
Then my back hit against a hard surface, I was pressed against the wall as he leaned down to be eye level with me,
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLmTynLAfO
His minty breath fanned my face with the proximity of our closeness, he then lowly whispered with his deep voice
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSzE3RRLoX
"You have been very cautious lately, my love"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZontrKytBS
I gulped audibly at his words, dreading the question that was about to get out of his lips,
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprQpCkcNkD
"Tell us, little mate, what's wrong, di we scare you?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC4AkSKIZc
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS4Xu88mMk
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,
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywHVHE6xUT
he doesn't seem to reject the mating bond either, quite the opposite actually,
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJXcKokswS
So I was thinking, maybe I could tell him,
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZBJdsHUPH
Maybe I could open up and tell him that I have developed feelings towards him,
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iiVzIj3V2
That I love him.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XRsOGVRiI
I opened my mouth, not knowing how to get the words out as my lips moved with no audible sound coming out,
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp7VBaL51O
He took that as a sign of confirming his suspicions,
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98tgi3jl70
His shoulders sagged as he was about to turn around,
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SrrJd55oL
I couldn't let him go without him knowing,
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbdpjm9xmf
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,
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rWrrdh3qY
"I need you to listen carefully because I don't know any other way that I can say this"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjUJj9O1a6
His eyes swirled with hope, a struggle of desperation wanting to resurface in them,
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU0nu3bEyK
I took in a breath "I am horrible at this, I have never felt this way towards anyone but you"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4fypUU3Aa
He opened his mouth but I shook my head at him, he waited for me to continue,
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC43ZL6mMC
"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"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5d560a7BZ
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,
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY5cOfCfM5
"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-"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypvgEHzJvG
"I love you, Cian"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrDYyBMSch
"Yes, even if you love us-"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUHoIuCZH5
This time he cut himself off, eyes widened in shock,
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0OEuZ4jb2
a few seconds passed by with neither of us saying anything,
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3UZx5YvW2
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6Ii4EbbIz
"M-Mate loves us?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH401gyDNtx
His cheeks flushed a slight pink as he couldn't surpass his childish happiness.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsK6Ogolo3
I broke into a smile of my own,
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZZ11WegBH
"Yes, I love you, Cian"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8QXrFr16S
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,
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw7TQgpp05
"W-What about m-me"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu8I7BBz9l
I giggled at the childish jealousy that Helios displayed,
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDqoBJXeHC
"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"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6hbBMxDBY
Helios purred, it was odd for a wolf that was known for his aggressive behavior and murderous intentions.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcg0m6JNi9
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,
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMI00J56xp
"No, not hopefully, we will always definitely be your only one as you are for us, always"
