I closed the door behind me and then stood in the middle of the room. I looked at him seriously and you could still see his surprise. He could have guessed that I would be on the mat at some point.Since he seemed unable to say anything, I started, "I feel like you're treating me badly." That was definitely a good start. I also mentally patted myself on the shoulder because I sounded calm.Amun raised an eyebrow. "It wasn't clear to me that you even missed me. Apparently you did." Now he started smiling cheekily and I felt the urge to hit him. I took a deep breath to keep my composure.My statement must have come across wrong. "I mean, I'm bored out of my mind. You don't let me do anything. I can only go to my room or the garden. I couldn't even pursue any hobbies."Sure, I trained in my room, but without opponents and with the air. It was still better than nothing. I had to train somehow. I would never let that be taken away from me.I crossed my arms and looked at him seriously. I w
I stood here involuntarily with this godlike figure next to me. What a cruel existence I led.I should never have asked Taran to take me to him.This incredibly male voice said, "I missed you, Davina."My poor heart believed his nonsense and was thrilled, which increased my heart rate. They were nice words that were nice to hear. As long as it was from someone you liked.But he had missed me, which could be a mean feeling, more like a sad one. That's the only reason I should give him the time with me, after all, I was a nice person.Yes, I wanted to engage in a conversation. Of course, exclusively to do him a favor.I was taken out of my thoughts when he continued, "As much as you hate to admit it, I make no secret of it. I missed you very much and wanted to have you with me."The king had probably taken a course on how to wrap a woman around his finger. He had passed it with distinction and was at the top of his class."Davina, can you please look at me?"Why did he want this every t
The next moment he took my face in his hands and pulled me to him. Our lips met and it was completely intoxicating.I returned the kiss immediately, but soon came to my senses and wanted to push him away. Amun didn't allow it and held me tight. There was a low growl coming from him, which I kind of liked.I couldn't hold it anymore and returned the kiss. You had to enjoy this perfection and gratefully accept it.How could I even resist?Those sparks, the passion between us, and that rush of happiness that shot through my whole body. Maybe it sounded exaggerated, but I felt it down to my little toe.As things got more passionate, I wanted to be closer to him, so I sat on his lap without breaking the kiss. Amun pulled me closer to him and kept his hands on my back. I automatically pressed myself against him and put my hands around his neck.It was the perfect kiss if you could even call it that. It was more of a hot make-out session.I had completely lost my self-control and ignored the
I could see it because her friendly expression changed to worried. "What happened, Davina?"Yes, even the greeting was missing, so it was written all over my face. But with all the emotions inside me, I would be a gifted actress if I could hide that. Although I had also held on to my heart, which was another sign.Gwen closed the door behind her and I blurted it out, "I wanted to reject Amun yesterday, then there was an argument and then we kissed pretty wildly."At that moment I was grateful to have her because it meant I could talk to someone and I desperately needed that.She asked, absolutely horrified, "You have what?!"I desperately ran my hands through my hair and took a few steps while answering, "Yes, I know. We kissed again, but I don't want to."She waved her hands around and said, "No, no, no. I'm talking about rejection." She acted like I had punched her right in the face. Even the human seemed to be quite taken with the Mateband and how cruel the rejection was for all of
That evening someone banged on my door and it could practically only have been one person.Gwen would never knock so angrily, it would be much gentler. Especially after our last conversation, she would try to be friendly.Amun also had another knock or wouldn't do it at all.My guess was Taran, which I was sure was confirmed straight away. It practically had to be him.I walked over and swung the door open. I glared at Taran and asked irritably, "What is it?"Maybe he'd leave again if he noticed my bad mood. He certainly wanted to invite me to dinner.Taran looked at me annoyed and raised an eyebrow. "I'm supposed to accompany you to the dining room. Since we missed each other extremely, I was assigned this task."I gave him a fake smile and replied, "How nice and no thanks."I wanted to slam the door in his face, but he had anticipated that, so he quickly put his hand on her."You come with me right now. You haven't eaten anything all day and Amun is waiting for you. You can stand in
There was complete turmoil inside that I wouldn't see him even once for a few days. It felt like cruelty.Would this be the case for the rest of my life?That would be a terrible existence and miserable. It was abnormal what was going on with Mates, then everyone thought it was great, but it was crazy. No, I would never understand her. The werewolves were a strange race."I'll probably be gone for a week."Good, that was like a stab in my heart. The best thing to do was to rip it out completely. He was gone a lot and for a long time.One week?A whole week without him?Could I even survive that?Of course, that was a completely stupid idea.This was going to be a very pleasant week. I would have peace and wouldn't even have to avoid him. At least Amun was out of the house.This would be a vacation in which I had no stress, like a certain freedom in which I could breathe without hassle and worries.But a whole week, that was a very long time. It was seven days without him, which was 16
I had lain awake that night thinking about Amun's words. Theoretically, we could make peace, except I told myself that because I wanted this man. Both were a possibility.I was just standing in front of the door waiting for Gwen. I had thought about our conversation yesterday in the same way and had come to terms with it. She couldn't help it and just had a mate. I was the same case, with the difference being that I wasn't a fan of the werewolves. Nevertheless, I didn't want to lose my friendship with her under any circumstances; I had grown to like her too much for that.As soon as there was a knock, I threw the door open because I wanted this sorted out and didn't want to wait another second.Gwen looked at me in shock and even flinched. Well, I had exaggerated because I didn't want to make her feel that way.I looked at her apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, but I couldn't wait for us to talk. We had a bad breakup yesterday and I wanted to clear that up." Then she started to smil
When I reached the kitchen I was uneasy. Gwen may be excited about Ruby, but that meant nothing. Everyone had to form their own opinion of someone.And somehow I was afraid of messing it up because I wanted to make a good impression.Who would have thought I would ever feel this way about a werewolf?Certainly no one.Gwen stopped in front of the door and looked at me, which I returned. "Should I say to skip the formalities? Because as queen you would be greeted differently."I looked at her in absolute horror because I wouldn't have expected something like that for a second. They would greet me nobly, as one would do among the nobility, even though I was a huntress who, until recently, they had viewed as an arch-enemy."No, it would be nice if people treated me normally." I wouldn't be able to deal with anything else and it would make me uncomfortable.She nodded with a smile and replied, "That's what I thought and I'll sort it out." Gwen thought about it and I appreciated that, so I
