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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAi9H29RFb6A
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAnTkLcfm7je
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAAB7fKkrLwX
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANACYqau9EGZt
Once we were inside, Cian had closed the door and locked it to which my heart pounded even more,
247Please respect copyright.PENANAnysu4xVZaN
what is he going to do,
247Please respect copyright.PENANAWMU6Bv2PWb
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,
247Please respect copyright.PENANAr64uplZLr1
I gulped as he stepped closer, and I subconsciously stepped backwards,
247Please respect copyright.PENANAmlBvhMOz6X
He could easily catch up with me, but I could tell he enjoyed chasing me slowly like a predator would with its prey.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAdMDsvzxoBv
Then my back hit against a hard surface, I was pressed against the wall as he leaned down to be eye level with me,
247Please respect copyright.PENANA8jXH93ufwl
His minty breath fanned my face with the proximity of our closeness, he then lowly whispered with his deep voice
247Please respect copyright.PENANAftgmOTi83U
"You have been very cautious lately, my love"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAvIzD1HdTj8
I gulped audibly at his words, dreading the question that was about to get out of his lips,
247Please respect copyright.PENANAUVIrDZzDnx
"Tell us, little mate, what's wrong, di we scare you?"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAi4ZlzntslJ
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANARYGf5yQ8tZ
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,
247Please respect copyright.PENANARqC0NZn9MH
he doesn't seem to reject the mating bond either, quite the opposite actually,
247Please respect copyright.PENANALVB7QWQx4e
So I was thinking, maybe I could tell him,
247Please respect copyright.PENANAWHT7IJ5euW
Maybe I could open up and tell him that I have developed feelings towards him,
247Please respect copyright.PENANARgZ2AtnOX8
That I love him.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAqtA6DQg5jg
I opened my mouth, not knowing how to get the words out as my lips moved with no audible sound coming out,
247Please respect copyright.PENANAxYiZhmcKVX
He took that as a sign of confirming his suspicions,
247Please respect copyright.PENANAMFRZQFDGNH
His shoulders sagged as he was about to turn around,
247Please respect copyright.PENANAlOLs3MErUy
I couldn't let him go without him knowing,
247Please respect copyright.PENANAoDHTQrt6nP
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,
247Please respect copyright.PENANAoQojDC8pl1
"I need you to listen carefully because I don't know any other way that I can say this"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAGoA00tvvzz
His eyes swirled with hope, a struggle of desperation wanting to resurface in them,
247Please respect copyright.PENANAehhw4Cdk3m
I took in a breath "I am horrible at this, I have never felt this way towards anyone but you"
247Please respect copyright.PENANA7On08y3Lju
He opened his mouth but I shook my head at him, he waited for me to continue,
247Please respect copyright.PENANAsts3o8LfQV
"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"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAv8enJ0cVvx
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,
247Please respect copyright.PENANAhY84zCleMt
"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-"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAlnD4jlrrjx
"I love you, Cian"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAvNOlH5aqSm
"Yes, even if you love us-"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAH6jysT74Dy
This time he cut himself off, eyes widened in shock,
247Please respect copyright.PENANA7xD5L6d8u0
a few seconds passed by with neither of us saying anything,
247Please respect copyright.PENANA31MLAvq6Xq
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAGHQa1NfV5Q
"M-Mate loves us?"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAT0e15tJNsY
His cheeks flushed a slight pink as he couldn't surpass his childish happiness.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAvDsmDPYuzQ
I broke into a smile of my own,
247Please respect copyright.PENANAjVoiJk31jx
"Yes, I love you, Cian"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAx2jShKkFvq
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,
247Please respect copyright.PENANA6YwieHfSLo
"W-What about m-me"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAPU1bXoHnjT
I giggled at the childish jealousy that Helios displayed,
247Please respect copyright.PENANAEB4K5EqdNY
"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"
247Please respect copyright.PENANA4t7prptOc4
Helios purred, it was odd for a wolf that was known for his aggressive behavior and murderous intentions.
247Please respect copyright.PENANA26LKukA5XW
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,
247Please respect copyright.PENANAmL0KwdKxZY
"No, not hopefully, we will always definitely be your only one as you are for us, always"
