The Beast And The Blessed Chapter 45

Forty-Five: Killian

Killian’s P.O.V.

Getting the news that Joselin was preparing to summon the council had me on edge. If the vampires found out, they would know that they had the upper hand. They would know that we were struggling.

Even worse, if the witches on the council had turned on us, we could be bringing in the enemy.

It was exactly what we wanted to avoid, but I had to trust that Joselin knew what she was doing. She was cautious and hated to call upon them if she didn’t have to. Of all the people in the world, she hated them the most.

It would take time for them to arrive. As much as I wished they could just pop in, very few witches had that ability. There had only been a few who had that level of strength.

Between her power and loyalty, having Joselin take over as the royal advisor was a no-brainer. The fact that she was my best friend just made the decision that much easier.

I looked up from my computer as my office door was shoved open. The anger of being disrupted so disrespectfully melted away as quickly as it had appeared as my little mate walked in with her head held high. Tobias reached in quietly and closed the door after her, giving us our privacy.

Her big doe-eyes sparkled with determination, and her pink lips pushed out as she seemed to be contemplating what she wanted to say. I pushed my chair back and patted my thigh, praying that she was here for more than just a conversation.

“We are soulmates, right?” She asked, and I fell against the back of my chair as I watched her, my arm falling on the rest as my eyes scanned her over.

“Yes.”

She let out a breath before biting her lip. There was nothing about it that signaled she was trying to seduce me by doing so. She seemed nervous. But from the twitch in my pants, it was still having an effect.

’I am going to be your queen?”

My head tilted to the side as an uncontrollable smile stretched across my face at the thought. I couldn’t wait to have her ruling by my side officially, for the entire world to know that she was my one.

”Yes.” ‘You said I smelled like a wolf, so I just need something to help trigger my shift, right?”

My smile fell as my eyebrows pulled together. “Yes, my mate. What has you so bothered?”

My arm lifted again instinctively, and Natalie stared at me for a second longer before she let out a sigh and walked around my desk. All of the noise in my head fell quiet at her touch as she sat across my lap sideways.

The attack, the impending war, and the petty trouble among my people that I was trying to balance and take care of were locked in a box and shoved to the back of my mind.

“You’ve been distant the past few days, ever since you let me see you in your Lycan form. I know you’ve been busy, but I just wanted to make sure that we were okay because I wanted to talk to you about something.” I could hear the insecurity in her voice, and I knew without her saying that she was worried that I was shutting down on her again.

Little did she know that I had already given myself to her, and she had already imprinted herself on my heart. It was hers. All of it, and all of me. I wasn’t going to change my mind now. She was stuck with me.

I looked over her face, before deciding that now was as good a time as any to have this addressed. “You were scared of me.”

Her jaw dropped open, and her eyes widened as she let out a laugh. “I was not scared!” “I could smell it! Before I walked away, you smelled of fear.” I looked away from her with my teeth clenched together. I didn’t want her to see just how much it was eating away at my soul. But her continued laughter, while beautiful, was frustrating.
