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.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq85CmvU04
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.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxj6R0sWcH
Once we were inside, Cian had closed the door and locked it to which my heart pounded even more,
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGRu9iJi54
what is he going to do,
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6IIziYcyK
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,
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv7H9PdOPk
I gulped as he stepped closer, and I subconsciously stepped backwards,
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhTVj6s8WP
He could easily catch up with me, but I could tell he enjoyed chasing me slowly like a predator would with its prey.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7bhZamGCZ
Then my back hit against a hard surface, I was pressed against the wall as he leaned down to be eye level with me,
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcXmvsbRnp
His minty breath fanned my face with the proximity of our closeness, he then lowly whispered with his deep voice
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZXzWJTqi2
"You have been very cautious lately, my love"
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdLCdlED26
I gulped audibly at his words, dreading the question that was about to get out of his lips,
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukVOOUAI2u
"Tell us, little mate, what's wrong, di we scare you?"
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVQnN7CGvl
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.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5r7bCSdGX
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,
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltkhLDlRMi
he doesn't seem to reject the mating bond either, quite the opposite actually,
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzmGwJUKOM
So I was thinking, maybe I could tell him,
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhruC4Mb9m
Maybe I could open up and tell him that I have developed feelings towards him,
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKv57seBU1
That I love him.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv3ojgoclH
I opened my mouth, not knowing how to get the words out as my lips moved with no audible sound coming out,
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrFovpWiIZ
He took that as a sign of confirming his suspicions,
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHlK8MriIz
His shoulders sagged as he was about to turn around,
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSymoPmwel8
I couldn't let him go without him knowing,
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5eX8scUgK
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,
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3NMlVNV7f
"I need you to listen carefully because I don't know any other way that I can say this"
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiafsUZ3gFG
His eyes swirled with hope, a struggle of desperation wanting to resurface in them,
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIabQE7JQAN
I took in a breath "I am horrible at this, I have never felt this way towards anyone but you"
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINX0RfZDOn
He opened his mouth but I shook my head at him, he waited for me to continue,
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cMw0gMzmP
"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"
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdsZUVqZSz
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,
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeCK7r1jeB
"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-"
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64jWUEaEUr
"I love you, Cian"
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j4qZ962Yl
"Yes, even if you love us-"
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujXE6dWnBD
This time he cut himself off, eyes widened in shock,
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp2nIbnL94
a few seconds passed by with neither of us saying anything,
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fXw5heK6P
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.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0cFPicYeu
"M-Mate loves us?"
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYiduhsiLf
His cheeks flushed a slight pink as he couldn't surpass his childish happiness.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQSdPx4ORE
I broke into a smile of my own,
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghFiU9QtMG
"Yes, I love you, Cian"
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0DtF082Pn
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,
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJXOwm7NTt
"W-What about m-me"
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2VVfQqG5c
I giggled at the childish jealousy that Helios displayed,
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbacWpH0s7C
"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"
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qXaGhUWWm
Helios purred, it was odd for a wolf that was known for his aggressive behavior and murderous intentions.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgspQ0mDRIj
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,
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFMn1Fu79O
"No, not hopefully, we will always definitely be your only one as you are for us, always"
