Yifa opened her eyes due to the cold sipping through her body and she couldn't shake off the pain radiating from her chest.What was happening? She couldn't exactly remember what happened.The moment she opened her eyes, sunlight entered her eyes which made her close her eyes immediately.She groaned before getting up from the cold hard floor that made her back ache uncomfortably.It has been a long time since she felt the discomfort of sleeping on the floor.Ever since she entered the palace, she never had to sleep on the floor anymore.She ventured down the hall in search of Killian 's room, hoping that she wasn't late in preparing everything that Killian needed.But she doesn't know why the mention of Killian 's name was causing a painful twitch in her heart."Yifa ! What the hell happened to you?!" Someone shouted from in front of her. She looked up to see Black looking at her with horror in his eyes.Yifa rolled her eyes, "I know I look bad but you're looking at me as if I ki
"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Yifa asked worriedly while looking at Killian who was looking at her with so much disappointment that made her heart hurt.It has been a long time since she's seen that look on Killian 's face and she definitely doesn't miss it."You... One is not enough for you?" Killian asked with malice in his voice.Yifa flinched at the sound of his voice because this was a very different Killian from the Killian she has been hanging out with these past few months.She wanted to run and cry at the sound of his voice right now."What do you mean?" Yifa asked softly because she didn't want to cause any more unwanted reactions fromKillian .She can certainly tell that something was bothering Killian and it was causing his mood to a dropdown."You didn't stay here last night, did you?" Killian asked with narrowed eyes.Yifa 's eyes widen at the sudden question and it also surprised her to know that Killian has noticed her absence last night.She wanted to feel happy abo
"Yifa , get out of here. I need to get dressed." Killian said coldly when he saw Yifa in the wardrobe fixing his clothes.Yifa looked at Killian with sad eyes because she still couldn't understand why he was getting angry.She did nothing wrong in terms of what happened last night. She just wanted to think of herself.Even if her omega was calling out to her mate, she controlled herself from running into his arms because she knew that she was not welcome.She might never be welcomed in his arms because their mate was in the arms of another woman, a woman that was not her."Your Highness, please let's talk." Yifa pleaded with soft eves while approaching Killian.Despite the whirlwind of emotions, she was trying her best not to look at Killian's body that was displayed in front of her.He was only wearing a towel on his waist with his upper body bare for Yifa to see.If it was in another situation, she would have drooled over him but this time, her heart and mind were running in a diffe
"What the hell are you talking about, Gray? I don't understand where your anger is coming from all of a sudden." Black said while trying not to anger Killian more than he was already.He didn't want to admit it but he was beyond scared of the possibilities of Killian and him getting into a fight because he knows that despite his continuous training to become the Head Knight, Killian still and always will be the King.He can surely overpower Black if he wanted to and that was what scaresBlack , it scares him that Killian might not be able to control himself or stop himself from harming him or other people.Black knew that he needed to deescalate the situation now, right now before it gets worse."Really? How can you say that so sure?" Killian asked while grabbing a shirt and putting it over his head.Killian didn't actually mind getting dressed in front of Black because they were used to seeing each other's bodies ever since they were younger.Of course, there was some sense of decenc
I can't believe you'd accuse me of something like that!" Black shouted while shaking his head in disbelief at his friend's sudden accusation.Killian raised his arms, 'I'm sorry. But come on, she was wearing your jacket the moment she entered my room and she didn't even sleep there like she used to!"Black rolled his eyes, "Well, maybe because she doesn't want to hear you getting it on with Amaya ."Killian kept quiet because he didn't think about it that way. Was Yifa uncomfortable because of that?"Should she feel uncomfortable?"Killian asked with wide eyes while looking up at Black .Black 's mouth dropped open atKillian 's question, "You've got to be kidding me. Who the hell will feel alright hearing two people having sex?!"Killian looked sheepish because when Black said it out loud, he did have a point.How could he not think of that?He felt himself going red at the thought of Yifa hearing his groans and words while having sex with Amaya . He felt embarrassed but at the same
Knock. Knock.Killian looked at his office door before telling the person outside to enter.As soon as he said those words, he looked back at the papers he was studying. He was giving some thoughts about the war that the South can rage upon them.He was studying the different strategies and wars that the Southern kingdom fought before and hopefully, he can get some important information.He doesn't want to believe in the fact that they will have a war against each other but he can't also dismiss the possibilities of it happening.Killian 's got nothing to lose if he spends some time learning everything about them for now."Your Highness," A soft voice said that caused Killian to stiffen in recognition.He knew that voice everywhere and even if he didn't want to react to the voice, his body says otherwise.Despite the protest going on in his mind, he looked up at Yifa who was looking at him with sad eyes. His heart ached at the look in her eyes."Yifa , what do you want?" Killian asked
"It was your birthday?" Killian asked with so much guilt in his voice that Yifa wanted to hug him.Yifa saw the way his face fell the moment she told him about the special event that happened yesterday in her life. His eyes fell to the floor and the frown he had on his face was something Yifa doesn't see often."Yes, it was but you don't have to look like that, it was fine," Yifa said while trying her best to convince him but deep down, Yifa felt so sad and lonely.Even though she was with Jacob , she knew that being with Killian , her true mate, would have been a completely different feeling.She would have been elated to have him there while she celebrates the one thing that reminds her of her parents and that was her life. She was alive because of them and she will forever celebrate that fact."You say that it was fine but I could clearly see the sadness in your eyes.You're like an open book to me."Killian said after some time. He heard the small quiver in her voice which made h
"Come, let me show you," Killian said while grabbing Yifa 's hand and dragging her with him."But wait," Yifa started but she couldn't continue what she was saying because Killian was definitely not listening. He was too busy dragging her around the palace.Yifa didn't bother fighting back because she knew that Killian was stronger than her when it comes to strength. She'll just waste her energy by stopping Killian .But Yifa could clearly tell which way they were going because she has been on this route numerous times already, sometimes excited and sometimes nervous.She walked these halls with so many emotions that she wanted to let out but didn't know but as soon as she entersKillian 's room, all of her emotions die out and the only thing she feels is happiness and contentment.Happiness is seeing her mate, happy and healthy. Contentment for being allowed to be this close to Killian despite their weird relationship as mates.She learned to be satisfied with what she has and never
