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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCh9OxwEE4
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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIryeQZCNTV
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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDfBGJTh0k
Once we were inside, Cian had closed the door and locked it to which my heart pounded even more,
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63vIIg2Exk
what is he going to do,
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvuCjMHAy7
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,
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TmMQi5CBD
I gulped as he stepped closer, and I subconsciously stepped backwards,
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNN2oPkHV1
He could easily catch up with me, but I could tell he enjoyed chasing me slowly like a predator would with its prey.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsnD5ePiBy
Then my back hit against a hard surface, I was pressed against the wall as he leaned down to be eye level with me,
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiXz0BPTxP
His minty breath fanned my face with the proximity of our closeness, he then lowly whispered with his deep voice
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0OeeaM1NB
"You have been very cautious lately, my love"
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILTSVHC7Q1
I gulped audibly at his words, dreading the question that was about to get out of his lips,
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gQiQk68cf
"Tell us, little mate, what's wrong, di we scare you?"
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQzZCVmwQS
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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK6nD0a1Ce
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,
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYgtszndSl
he doesn't seem to reject the mating bond either, quite the opposite actually,
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoDEzgflaK
So I was thinking, maybe I could tell him,
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvaKojX9FF
Maybe I could open up and tell him that I have developed feelings towards him,
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIwpH9kMvP
That I love him.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0fuabCUbj
I opened my mouth, not knowing how to get the words out as my lips moved with no audible sound coming out,
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ322xQNzl5r
He took that as a sign of confirming his suspicions,
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmQRaEA8f1
His shoulders sagged as he was about to turn around,
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhiwzCdbBl
I couldn't let him go without him knowing,
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvF4GX34IS
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,
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt3pBPXGEc
"I need you to listen carefully because I don't know any other way that I can say this"
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQKCPcsBC1
His eyes swirled with hope, a struggle of desperation wanting to resurface in them,
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89XXVZzrss
I took in a breath "I am horrible at this, I have never felt this way towards anyone but you"
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2cHhQizQ9
He opened his mouth but I shook my head at him, he waited for me to continue,
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekyzN6wJxp
"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"
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIy6yJCkVe
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,
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfEKs8rmZM
"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-"
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC1ZhfijBS
"I love you, Cian"
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVp9FjN2yq
"Yes, even if you love us-"
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmv7wEUzkZ
This time he cut himself off, eyes widened in shock,
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvpYS9dLFA
a few seconds passed by with neither of us saying anything,
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyDrXs9L3h
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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACnZ8AHviF
"M-Mate loves us?"
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u0br4acOq
His cheeks flushed a slight pink as he couldn't surpass his childish happiness.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfUERzHxTE
I broke into a smile of my own,
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7CJc6c0yE
"Yes, I love you, Cian"
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcg00zJd3n
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,
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdaKpjw80j
"W-What about m-me"
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAUKIMznqW
I giggled at the childish jealousy that Helios displayed,
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs1jkPnKDA
"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"
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb333vLXhAL
Helios purred, it was odd for a wolf that was known for his aggressive behavior and murderous intentions.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wVxjgDz7I
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,
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedultBm0GV
"No, not hopefully, we will always definitely be your only one as you are for us, always"
