My next destination was my bed because we could both sit there and chat a bit. At some point I had to start my interrogation and it was best to do that immediately.Gwen said, "I have bad news." That was never good and as I sat down I looked at her questioningly. Of course, I then pointed to the seat next to me so that she could sit her ass on that bed.She came over and continued, "The king had to leave yesterday. There is some unrest and it needs to be sorted out."Riots.That probably means the hunters were causing trouble. This was something good and far from bad news. At least that's what my head was convinced of and I was happy to ignore my heart's opinion.Gwen sat down next to me and said, "It's still unknown how long he's been away. Apparently there are several disturbances in different places. Quite a bit of chaos has broken out."Either the hunters wanted revenge on me or had a suspicion that I was alive. I thought the first option was more likely. Amun might try to keep qu

I just arrived at Amun's office with Taran. We would have figured out where the good guy was hiding. Apparently he wanted to use his work as an excuse.I still felt the anger, but I tried very hard to hide it. I should make it less obvious how I felt otherwise I would practically scream in his face.Taran knocked on the door for me, so I asked snappily, "Can't I do that myself?" He growled at me angrily, which was definitely fitting for a werewolf, but I gave him a withering look.There was no further escalation because Amun shouted, "Come in!" It sounded threatening and authoritarian, but it was good for me to hear his voice. That alone alleviated my bad mood somewhat. I still rolled my eyes internally because I thought that way.Taran nodded goodbye and I opened the door. Inevitably I didn't have to say any more words to him.I entered the room and Amun was sitting behind his desk. He looked completely amazed when his eyes fell on me. So Taran had not informed him that I was now vis

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

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

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
