"You can be a king or a street sweeper, but everyone dances with the Grim Reaper."

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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbhgsyZles
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPldxPA3DD0
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2JHpHAEWB
Once we were inside, Cian had closed the door and locked it to which my heart pounded even more,
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKdOxZuw3s
what is he going to do,
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx281yTkGi0
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,
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAmW18ZdFf
I gulped as he stepped closer, and I subconsciously stepped backwards,
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCUlUKKziV
He could easily catch up with me, but I could tell he enjoyed chasing me slowly like a predator would with its prey.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVjM7EARFf
Then my back hit against a hard surface, I was pressed against the wall as he leaned down to be eye level with me,
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yibGSuIAE
His minty breath fanned my face with the proximity of our closeness, he then lowly whispered with his deep voice
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtSIVLKvab
"You have been very cautious lately, my love"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD8i4nhJ2H
I gulped audibly at his words, dreading the question that was about to get out of his lips,
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoRGrzNhz8
"Tell us, little mate, what's wrong, di we scare you?"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX3AxNSCGp
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrZXMpWN42
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,
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08Q68yNTF8
he doesn't seem to reject the mating bond either, quite the opposite actually,
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51KP9puqZp
So I was thinking, maybe I could tell him,
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC4LgCySC1
Maybe I could open up and tell him that I have developed feelings towards him,
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINX0GR2gHu
That I love him.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4YzoMpMgz
I opened my mouth, not knowing how to get the words out as my lips moved with no audible sound coming out,
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X1L4Ed3bL
He took that as a sign of confirming his suspicions,
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0yQwIoJaf
His shoulders sagged as he was about to turn around,
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2J2WbE4gd
I couldn't let him go without him knowing,
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8DlZANWcn
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,
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdEbOE5vNF
"I need you to listen carefully because I don't know any other way that I can say this"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmgy9k0ovB
His eyes swirled with hope, a struggle of desperation wanting to resurface in them,
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGpmbAGF9m
I took in a breath "I am horrible at this, I have never felt this way towards anyone but you"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmplS9ghsbI
He opened his mouth but I shook my head at him, he waited for me to continue,
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKrgOegUMW
"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"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwCt8SPKZL
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,
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4aQkxFmqe
"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-"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT42bBhVpZE
"I love you, Cian"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai6SIfgNB3
"Yes, even if you love us-"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOxx8eId7r
This time he cut himself off, eyes widened in shock,
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavRWyf2YVT
a few seconds passed by with neither of us saying anything,
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11Q9XEFAiv
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZNnVc2xyh
"M-Mate loves us?"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhvA5tx5Az
His cheeks flushed a slight pink as he couldn't surpass his childish happiness.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDWz99tuo8
I broke into a smile of my own,
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8keY2OA1zW
"Yes, I love you, Cian"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslnFEjtmMV
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,
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8x7mxKpAc
"W-What about m-me"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwlQezIEg3
I giggled at the childish jealousy that Helios displayed,
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU3M8VkPg3
"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"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E4bu1BKVn
Helios purred, it was odd for a wolf that was known for his aggressive behavior and murderous intentions.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9g0QpyeRi
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,
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCF7NQacQe
"No, not hopefully, we will always definitely be your only one as you are for us, always"
