Damien has granted me permission to move round freely, but that doesn't mean I'm allowed to roam around unsupervised, he has guards watching me at all times and he isn't even hiding it.

And occasionally I catch sight of him following from a distance or just staring at me, he thinks he's being subtle about it but I see him Everytime, my senses although not as sharp as they used to be since I stopped drinking blood but still I know when he's near, there's this pull towards him I can't explain and honestly I'm not sure I want to know what it means.

I trust that it'll only freak me out more than before and right now I need my head to be in the right place for this game I badly want to play.

It's noon and I realize the daily council meeting will soon be over and I want an audience with the king, if he enters his private chambers I don't think I'll be allowed to go in there with him and I know how much I need his attention right now.

I hurry up and it's as if luck is one my side cause I see I'm just in time. I see him and members of the lycan council and that warrior that's always with him, Killian I think, he's standing behind him and observing everything that's going on.

he seems to frown for a bit and then lift his nose to snif the air some more, his eyes turning as if searching for something or someone specific.

his eyes finally land on me and he growls loud enough to stop his king in his steps and divert all attention over to my side.

His growl is more of like a question asking me if I'm planning to be a friend or foe today. I smile and walk over to the group which stare at me like I'm sort of abomination in their midsts. o' brother I internally roll my eyes, these lycans are too extra, am I not meant to be their queen or something, then why do they look at me like I'm some sort of horrible creature that crawled out of a hole or somewhere dark and slimy.

Well I don't have time to care about what they think or don't think, I have better things to worry about like the Alpha that's currently eating me up with his eyes and planning a thousand and one ways to make me give up all my most pleasurable secrets to him, I walk up to him slowly and the sight of me moving towards him makes him leave the group and move to me.

I laugh internally, I don't even have to put much effort to this, their stupid mating bond is doing half my work for me, the guy is smitten with me, I just have to play my cards well and we'll be out of here.

Once he reaches my side, he pulls me closer to him and leans in to take a whiff off my perfume, I can see he's already taken by how nice I smell, that means part one of my work is a success. This is too easy I smile inwardly.
