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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oEg2bXQah
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86QgrXFgqK
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7A0z4yvdV
Once we were inside, Cian had closed the door and locked it to which my heart pounded even more,
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoED94ohBx
what is he going to do,
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPQ7Blp9vQ
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,
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uK8fSezO3
I gulped as he stepped closer, and I subconsciously stepped backwards,
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPI2DsFT2D
He could easily catch up with me, but I could tell he enjoyed chasing me slowly like a predator would with its prey.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObcHDgq8U8
Then my back hit against a hard surface, I was pressed against the wall as he leaned down to be eye level with me,
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcK0repRYr
His minty breath fanned my face with the proximity of our closeness, he then lowly whispered with his deep voice
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JpjEOGQjb
"You have been very cautious lately, my love"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStjtG1G40c
I gulped audibly at his words, dreading the question that was about to get out of his lips,
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzRDtpABx8
"Tell us, little mate, what's wrong, di we scare you?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsIbJwtn03
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye7Q6ftt1W
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,
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI2gZt6zvN
he doesn't seem to reject the mating bond either, quite the opposite actually,
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnUofViPoz
So I was thinking, maybe I could tell him,
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNwXfvE0eu
Maybe I could open up and tell him that I have developed feelings towards him,
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwz6sknE9h
That I love him.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4HGQ3vzTF
I opened my mouth, not knowing how to get the words out as my lips moved with no audible sound coming out,
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOsV71tIV5
He took that as a sign of confirming his suspicions,
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWgsRmjwWw
His shoulders sagged as he was about to turn around,
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYE4IaZJ1W
I couldn't let him go without him knowing,
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVPi0Lw4gN
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,
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRNJcNQ41x
"I need you to listen carefully because I don't know any other way that I can say this"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiVhDEXC6d
His eyes swirled with hope, a struggle of desperation wanting to resurface in them,
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcGO31kKLP
I took in a breath "I am horrible at this, I have never felt this way towards anyone but you"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPdIT2cMHO
He opened his mouth but I shook my head at him, he waited for me to continue,
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyJXqcoB9D
"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"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6JqQrBqMC
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,
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvN3EW0sGJ
"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-"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCekRFl5op
"I love you, Cian"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z0fRadZAu
"Yes, even if you love us-"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZpugQZfT5
This time he cut himself off, eyes widened in shock,
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AX6UY19cF
a few seconds passed by with neither of us saying anything,
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80bhY2K79o
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5TYY6NDpY
"M-Mate loves us?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMciHplzRN
His cheeks flushed a slight pink as he couldn't surpass his childish happiness.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRzbrcQoPC
I broke into a smile of my own,
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjvENmFHLy
"Yes, I love you, Cian"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWiMgQBDRq
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,
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq6aQjdFQD
"W-What about m-me"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHK7BqCBLz
I giggled at the childish jealousy that Helios displayed,
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUaAvFRk2F
"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"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ25aKjbVc
Helios purred, it was odd for a wolf that was known for his aggressive behavior and murderous intentions.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN9uKyvXZU
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,
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcDTXoZ8JE
"No, not hopefully, we will always definitely be your only one as you are for us, always"
