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.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAXm8jK77sAS
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.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAdeGxq32Ctr
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.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAvCoDCiSFjW
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.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAtYaSsrLFAX
Once we were inside, Cian had closed the door and locked it to which my heart pounded even more,
236Please respect copyright.PENANAUS2nrplkrP
what is he going to do,
236Please respect copyright.PENANAxIth2BmhhI
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,
236Please respect copyright.PENANAxajHnNCTyj
I gulped as he stepped closer, and I subconsciously stepped backwards,
236Please respect copyright.PENANAkT11Lb4Qjd
He could easily catch up with me, but I could tell he enjoyed chasing me slowly like a predator would with its prey.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAX5y52HxxhO
Then my back hit against a hard surface, I was pressed against the wall as he leaned down to be eye level with me,
236Please respect copyright.PENANA4f33Bcky3K
His minty breath fanned my face with the proximity of our closeness, he then lowly whispered with his deep voice
236Please respect copyright.PENANAkU4RioxLai
"You have been very cautious lately, my love"
236Please respect copyright.PENANAsLJPfMByUv
I gulped audibly at his words, dreading the question that was about to get out of his lips,
236Please respect copyright.PENANAXp1kbd3cSu
"Tell us, little mate, what's wrong, di we scare you?"
236Please respect copyright.PENANAjoF4bTfp3g
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.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAtOSb0Ee2Ro
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,
236Please respect copyright.PENANASm3BkKc38Q
he doesn't seem to reject the mating bond either, quite the opposite actually,
236Please respect copyright.PENANAohB5A7Q9F3
So I was thinking, maybe I could tell him,
236Please respect copyright.PENANACHjYsPhx06
Maybe I could open up and tell him that I have developed feelings towards him,
236Please respect copyright.PENANAJVZbMvBFn5
That I love him.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAu6NHdYmd6c
I opened my mouth, not knowing how to get the words out as my lips moved with no audible sound coming out,
236Please respect copyright.PENANAQdV8NDW2XD
He took that as a sign of confirming his suspicions,
236Please respect copyright.PENANAWp1WCsZNTM
His shoulders sagged as he was about to turn around,
236Please respect copyright.PENANAEMPl6mZgQu
I couldn't let him go without him knowing,
236Please respect copyright.PENANAVwmdVSkhWj
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,
236Please respect copyright.PENANABp7nSzv4my
"I need you to listen carefully because I don't know any other way that I can say this"
236Please respect copyright.PENANAiEfZTND37E
His eyes swirled with hope, a struggle of desperation wanting to resurface in them,
236Please respect copyright.PENANAjuw3FazshG
I took in a breath "I am horrible at this, I have never felt this way towards anyone but you"
236Please respect copyright.PENANA6F3mMycGVo
He opened his mouth but I shook my head at him, he waited for me to continue,
236Please respect copyright.PENANAIxoqJpzjQ1
"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"
236Please respect copyright.PENANAXsnzFpjKBG
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,
236Please respect copyright.PENANA43b3n19DH8
"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-"
236Please respect copyright.PENANAKNyT2v0r1l
"I love you, Cian"
236Please respect copyright.PENANAo5Z3ruPC7R
"Yes, even if you love us-"
236Please respect copyright.PENANAKHxp7DWtgc
This time he cut himself off, eyes widened in shock,
236Please respect copyright.PENANABCmHNfVtnX
a few seconds passed by with neither of us saying anything,
236Please respect copyright.PENANAFFOh77KJDD
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.
236Please respect copyright.PENANALzDBgA7Xae
"M-Mate loves us?"
236Please respect copyright.PENANAXjwYUeXmHo
His cheeks flushed a slight pink as he couldn't surpass his childish happiness.
236Please respect copyright.PENANADIjKGyV3KE
I broke into a smile of my own,
236Please respect copyright.PENANA9ue9AdCsLb
"Yes, I love you, Cian"
236Please respect copyright.PENANA3cINcK2Hel
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,
236Please respect copyright.PENANAJvWEX58lHA
"W-What about m-me"
236Please respect copyright.PENANALgT6DasH0r
I giggled at the childish jealousy that Helios displayed,
236Please respect copyright.PENANAYoD2KqFmiO
"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"
236Please respect copyright.PENANAtAp0l7GmQG
Helios purred, it was odd for a wolf that was known for his aggressive behavior and murderous intentions.
236Please respect copyright.PENANA8wpgXmpK7E
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,
236Please respect copyright.PENANAaAo1yCMhHD
"No, not hopefully, we will always definitely be your only one as you are for us, always"
236Please respect copyright.PENANAosWfeAAvLV
