His voice alone made me melt, but I pulled myself together and didn't let it show in the slightest. His expression was difficult to read. I have no idea what was going on in that head.As I approached him, Amun stood up. I didn't trust him at all, so I stopped. Who knows what he was up to?The king pulled out my chair and gave me a smile, which I didn't return. His mood seemed to have improved since our last encounter.His gesture annoyed me because it was far too polite. Like he was a gentleman, which was just a charade. No werewolf was as charming.I looked at him and asked, "Can we stop the feigned politeness?" My voice sounded cool and his smile faded. "That I wasn't feigning." He got an eye roll in response and I continued to stand where I was.When I went through what the monsters had done to me and those around me, I couldn't see any kind of intentions behind his behavior. There was another reason.No, I wouldn't let him treat me like that. He seemed to get that because Amun sa
He shocked me with that. I never expected anything like this. That was a different kind of challenge.How did he even come up with this crazy idea?Suddenly the door opened behind us and Amun thundered, "Get out!" I involuntarily flinched at the volume. You had to be practically afraid of the guy, so it would be a miracle if I had stayed calm. The door closed again, so the visitor had the same feeling and ran away.Turning to me and in a calmer voice, he asked, "So?"I was still too shocked by his idea that I should kiss him. That was crazy. He had to give me time to think about it.I would be crazy to do that. Besides, why should I? It was logical and obvious that I wasn't going along with this crap.I cleared my throat and asked in horror, “Are you stupid? Why should I kiss you?" I'm sure no one had ever spoken to him like that before, but I didn't mind formalities at the moment.A smile played on Amun's lips as he replied, "That would prove to me that you hate me, as long as you fe
Amun was sitting in the same place as yesterday and I just wanted to die. After last evening I would have preferred to avoid him for the rest of my days.Our eyes met and Amun had a cheeky grin on his face. "Good morning Davina." His expression made me angry and my expression was serious.I hated myself for yesterday's action. But I certainly wouldn't give in. I would stick with my hatred of werewolves, even though the kiss had been like fireworks. I would have liked to kiss him again immediately to feel that feeling. Those lips that were so soft and perfect on mine.And I pulled the mental emergency brake.I arrived at my seat and sat down with a simple, "Morning." I didn't want to be completely rude, which is why he received this short greeting. I wanted to look at him but vehemently suppressed it.My attention went to the table and there was a lot of food there. In my opinion, far too much.Should two people eat this?This was irrational and I had no idea which of these to choose.
If it was a real garden, that would do me good. And I assumed that these beings had normal properties. Even if I had to endure Amun's company. Still, a bit of nature was a blessing.With every step, my tension increased. At least we had made it clear that it wasn't a playground for dogs.Finally, we came to a door and Amun held it open for me. Up until this point we had walked the path in silence and that was fine with me.I left the palace and it took my eyes a moment to adjust to the bright light of the sun. But after blinking a few times, I got a good view.The sight took my breath away for a moment. It was a very large, beautiful garden. You couldn't even see to the end. That was a dream.So much green that looked juicy. Flowers, bushes, and trees were in full bloom and appeared to be well cared for.We went down a few steps and there was a path leading further. It was almost astonishing to see this beauty.Amun broke our silence by asking, "What do you say? Do you like the garden
I continued walking, observing my surroundings. Inevitably I didn't have to say anything in response. I couldn't think of any fair words anyway.One thing was certain, this mate thing made you possessive. I could tell from his voice how serious he was. This man considered me his property.I noticed Amun behind me and it was logical that he followed me. He would never let me out of his sight. At least he stayed quiet, which surprised me a bit.We passed a row of pansies. They were beautiful and had my attention right away. I kind of wanted to test my skills anyway. I just chose these flowers to be my guinea pigs.I knelt and ran my fingers over a flower.Yes, there was something there. I could feel it and had to suppress a smile. That was a nice feeling, which is why I stroked the flower next to it in the same way.They seemed to be in a good mood and happy in their place. The pansies appear to have been well cared for. They had enough water and were in full bloom.I said very quietly,
I walked down the path, cursing, trying to bring myself back to reality. In itself, it was pure madness that I even spent a short amount of time with him. I should kill him and not talk to him.These beasts had murdered my family. Because of them, my life had become a nightmare and they had already killed who knows how many hunters. We weren't any better when it came to werewolves, but that was the problem. We didn't fit together one bit. Still, he forced me to stay with him.All these thoughts made me stop and turn around. It was best if I mentioned it again because at some point this fact had to sink into his head.However, I jumped in shock because Amun was standing behind me. So he had followed me and I had completely missed it. I was generally very aware of my surroundings, but not this time.We looked at each other for a moment and no one made a sound. I wanted to get rid of something, but it was quickly forgotten.Finally, Amun broke our silence by saying, "At least let me acco
Taran had taken me to my room and now I was busy twiddling my thumbs. It was an incredibly exciting activity.At least they could give me some task, but no. Maybe I should start the great activity of staring at the wall next.What kind of life would that be?If this continued I would go crazy. Maybe I already was.I sat on my bed and looked around the room. No matter how many times I did this, I had nothing to do.It would be the best idea to work on my plans. I had to be able to escape it all somehow. I should never give up that easily. Otherwise, it would mean that I let myself get defeated.But how should I deal with rejection? Just how?Surely he was covering my mouth or whatever the beasts were doing to stop someone. They certainly had their strategies for that.I had to approach this carefully. Once I tried it, he would be wary. Therefore, I had to work out the plan to perfection. It couldn't be a short-circuit reaction.Before I could think about it, there was a knock on my doo
The next two weeks passed at a crawling pace. I was constantly restless and nervous.Amun had not kept his word because I had never met him once. This made me incredibly angry, which it never should. Because actually, it was exactly what I wanted. This man should stay away from me and act like I don't exist.Unfortunately, it bothered me.I spent my time with Gwen, who kept quiet about the king. She didn't say a single word about him. There was something wrong there.Did they want to provoke me into voluntarily visiting this man?At least that was my current thought. However, it is also possible that he was looking for another queen. Someone suitable for this place.I had to force myself to stop asking about him or even bringing him up as a topic. There was a constant struggle within me.I had been put on withdrawal and without any regrets.How did the werewolf stand that? Even if I turned the wheel, I didn't admit it one bit. Most of the time I denied it to myself.My strategy was to
