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.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn3PfUD9FW
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.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10bZXbnJWZ
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.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS1BAw13yO
Once we were inside, Cian had closed the door and locked it to which my heart pounded even more,
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ54ZFyArVN
what is he going to do,
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo75Phm59dy
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,
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXLqWSpb3k
I gulped as he stepped closer, and I subconsciously stepped backwards,
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgsNzg5Tbu
He could easily catch up with me, but I could tell he enjoyed chasing me slowly like a predator would with its prey.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnts7PdsXc
Then my back hit against a hard surface, I was pressed against the wall as he leaned down to be eye level with me,
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbolktV8lQ
His minty breath fanned my face with the proximity of our closeness, he then lowly whispered with his deep voice
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJqYMCXwDG
"You have been very cautious lately, my love"
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAeag2QDh4
I gulped audibly at his words, dreading the question that was about to get out of his lips,
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOURLIazb8
"Tell us, little mate, what's wrong, di we scare you?"
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZkTPpniTX
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.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaawnUX6Gso
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,
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosDLv8vCxV
he doesn't seem to reject the mating bond either, quite the opposite actually,
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm29S64VQnK
So I was thinking, maybe I could tell him,
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUBohxnaIH
Maybe I could open up and tell him that I have developed feelings towards him,
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWJITY7NlF
That I love him.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsILddHFaTx
I opened my mouth, not knowing how to get the words out as my lips moved with no audible sound coming out,
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWig1wZV3hG
He took that as a sign of confirming his suspicions,
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsS2YTFM9r
His shoulders sagged as he was about to turn around,
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoC3Cd6P9l
I couldn't let him go without him knowing,
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU5MHDnsPn
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,
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2pI7mW8eG
"I need you to listen carefully because I don't know any other way that I can say this"
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB87IcXzc46
His eyes swirled with hope, a struggle of desperation wanting to resurface in them,
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uo1TImXjG
I took in a breath "I am horrible at this, I have never felt this way towards anyone but you"
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvwJRvXt9j
He opened his mouth but I shook my head at him, he waited for me to continue,
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0mijMqs0r
"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"
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9UrZ6xe9E
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,
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOOs6DhmL3
"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-"
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzxrvpt0St
"I love you, Cian"
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCabZSO33Sy
"Yes, even if you love us-"
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecatX4yZQr
This time he cut himself off, eyes widened in shock,
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe5fXURmv3
a few seconds passed by with neither of us saying anything,
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrShOFCkXVb
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.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XbFJjL6h0
"M-Mate loves us?"
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabFnfMiWED
His cheeks flushed a slight pink as he couldn't surpass his childish happiness.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce86MVy1ZO
I broke into a smile of my own,
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuAKBeGKmG
"Yes, I love you, Cian"
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JTYHhdz2T
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,
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTxFJoiO8C
"W-What about m-me"
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qZrNqllDe
I giggled at the childish jealousy that Helios displayed,
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiO9xhIfaY
"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"
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEtkyudEaX
Helios purred, it was odd for a wolf that was known for his aggressive behavior and murderous intentions.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefmsTOUnw8
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,
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB46ikDxdM
"No, not hopefully, we will always definitely be your only one as you are for us, always"
