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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgkRPFiYtL
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg4QAkQ1my
Once we were inside, Cian had closed the door and locked it to which my heart pounded even more,
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV96QZ2H34W
what is he going to do,
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N5v5BLvJJ
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,
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fNvXAgj0h
I gulped as he stepped closer, and I subconsciously stepped backwards,
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1a30Fhwlm
He could easily catch up with me, but I could tell he enjoyed chasing me slowly like a predator would with its prey.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVki9F47mm
Then my back hit against a hard surface, I was pressed against the wall as he leaned down to be eye level with me,
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbS9S1LPcN
His minty breath fanned my face with the proximity of our closeness, he then lowly whispered with his deep voice
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3qBemRuO9
"You have been very cautious lately, my love"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8GdBPS3Il
I gulped audibly at his words, dreading the question that was about to get out of his lips,
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRirudYJfj
"Tell us, little mate, what's wrong, di we scare you?"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlLMvH6qVz
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbi6DFP9lC
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,
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScNlKk6AR8
he doesn't seem to reject the mating bond either, quite the opposite actually,
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuxg7IXXOa
So I was thinking, maybe I could tell him,
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5GOx4zKOm
Maybe I could open up and tell him that I have developed feelings towards him,
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c0i5oSBhW
That I love him.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv1QRKn8vo
I opened my mouth, not knowing how to get the words out as my lips moved with no audible sound coming out,
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EV2ckeR1Q
He took that as a sign of confirming his suspicions,
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK41iW4dVT
His shoulders sagged as he was about to turn around,
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xUJPMRfZe
I couldn't let him go without him knowing,
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KnOecZpgv
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,
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSbm6qm7xg
"I need you to listen carefully because I don't know any other way that I can say this"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZMqSHkD1B
His eyes swirled with hope, a struggle of desperation wanting to resurface in them,
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc8jpjUtEY
I took in a breath "I am horrible at this, I have never felt this way towards anyone but you"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iKml9DICF
He opened his mouth but I shook my head at him, he waited for me to continue,
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9i4vAvVSB
"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"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DQsO5DeRx
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,
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGH2FK8F5i
"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-"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CVCDyH1Fs
"I love you, Cian"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno5VP0Ld3U
"Yes, even if you love us-"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6pC7HIWNI
This time he cut himself off, eyes widened in shock,
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIZpH7VVTi
a few seconds passed by with neither of us saying anything,
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RHnk8ROHu
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecdaxZ1dql
"M-Mate loves us?"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2GyTv44Zw
His cheeks flushed a slight pink as he couldn't surpass his childish happiness.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdKFLPg6EG
I broke into a smile of my own,
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0uQrOB1H9
"Yes, I love you, Cian"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB3YcCDoSv
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,
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYEA3QgHIm
"W-What about m-me"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPJJ66eQfN
I giggled at the childish jealousy that Helios displayed,
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFPRL65LA6
"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"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fd85QSq0C
Helios purred, it was odd for a wolf that was known for his aggressive behavior and murderous intentions.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB4OJJnQxc
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,
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd6Nw1q09u
"No, not hopefully, we will always definitely be your only one as you are for us, always"
