Sinful Love

Bright morning, sky scattered with birds, cool weather and the greenery in front doesn't seem to cheer them up. The whole Samrat Kingdom is solemn at the loss of a great man, Ozrain Samrat. His coffin made out of rosewood and the top cover made out of glass, is now filled with roses, a token of love from his loyal pack members. An ocean of black has flooded the Samrat's cemetery. His coffin lowered bit by bit into the pre-dug hole, making Selena sob even more into Zaden's chest as Zaden caressed the back of her head with his thumb, attempting to calm her down. In the short period she had known Ozrain, her grandfather had exhibited enormous love towards her. She intended to return them but fate had a different plan. Her hands are shaky and she is completely worn out from the continues crying, relying on Zaden's grip to prevent her from slipping limply to the ground. His final respect went on smooth, with no interruption. Orion wanted to throw Aira's body into the sea as well but Selena refused to.

“She did nothing wrong other than loving her mate. She might have taken it a bit too far, but can we blame her for that? I wish to treat her, at least as a human, which is a part of her too. We can bury her, far from papa, please...” Selena pleads to Maximus and they agreed, moved by her courtesy. None attended her burial, further away at the edge of the cemetery. Graveyard workers did all necessary for her.

They stood there, gazing at the now covered hole, for God knows how long. Zaden later carried Selena to the cabin, she doesn't want to go back to the mansion. He then put her down to sleep on their bed. Zaden sat on her side, at the edge of bed, running his fingers along her hair in hope to make her sleep. Instead, she kept her gaze on Zaden's face. Both of them didn't show any emotions. Ozrain's last memory kept flashing in her mind. Zaden was also there when he drank up a full glass of raw prune juice. What if Zaden had taken a sip of that juice? Or if Ozrain wasn't there and Zaden drank it on behalf of her? The thought terrifies her, visible trembling her body.

“Are you sure you want me...as your mate?” she asked low, almost to a whisper. Zaden frowned at her sudden doubt.

“Where does this come from?” he replied with a question. She slowly sat up, too week at the moment.

“You were right. This Samrat shit is complicated. Ever since I came, none of you had peace of mind. Looking after me has been your full-time job. I don't want anything happening to you. I will understand if you don't want me....” Selena frowned, face painted with concern for the whole pack. Zaden withdraw his hands from her and placed his elbows on his knees, clasping his hand as he bends down a bit. He is clearly angry at the moment but he didn't show any to her. She is patiently waiting for his words or any gesture and she would be happy to leave, right now.

“Zaden...I'm serious...” she gently grabbed his upper arm and he snatched his arms away from her

‘Get in here, now!!!’ his cold voice echoed in the leader's pack mind and they rushed in.

“What happened?” Makeala asked.

“Bambi here says she should leave because she is a pain in the ass for us and it has been our full-time job taking care of her. Now, she had said this before and I discussed with all of you whether we should keep or lose her” Zaden turned his head to Selena, eye-piercing through hers in anger. Her breathing ragged knowing that she had stirred him. Not only Zaden but the whole pack is upset now, glaring at her. She dropped her head.

“Now, she knows what my decision would be. I am waiting for my pack's decision” Zaden added with a cold tone, eyes still staring at Selena

She wanted to touch him but worry that he might still be mad at her. She finally mustered up some courage. It's Zaden, what can he do except for maybe scolding her, right? After venting out, he would pamper her, anyways. She lowered her duvet to her hip and raised her black silk
