"Okay, Aniya. Keep taking care of her. I'll come down later to feed her dinner. But, if I'm not here, you can go ahead to do it. If anything happens, do not hesitate to send for me."

"Alright, Your Highness."

They continued on the stairs until they got to the fourth floor of the building. When they got to her bedroom, he walked past it, still holding her hand.

Ismena followed him like an obedient dog, her heart racing. She was still feeling hot from the way he'd held and touched her at Mara's house. Inside the bedroom, he finally let go of her hand and walked to the wardrobe to take off his outdoor robes.

"I'll... Erm... I'll just start going." She said, when the silence became long and awkward, "Thank you for today. It was...uhm...it was refreshing. I'll just..." She turned to leave.

A strong arm wrapped around her belly, pulling her back until she was plastered against his rock-hard body. She needn't look behind to know that he was naked from the waist up.

"I should be thanking you for this day, Ismena. It's the best I've had in a long time." His touch wasn't sexual and his voice sounded genuinely sincere.

She opted for sincerity too, and turned to face him, "I'm glad to hear that. I'm glad we went to visit Rado too. I had a headache in the morning, I have no idea when it disappeared. Your presence did that." She whispered, "I loved being held in your arms the way you held me."

He framed her cheeks, "I loved holding you like that too. Here in Naturiah, we get really touchy with our mate. I might not have mated you, Ismena, but you are still my mate. I enjoy putting my hands on you. It's like coming home."

Her heart flipped over. In that moment, Ismena realized she'd fallen so hard for this male. She has fallen so in love with him, it's hard to find her feet because of how hard she fell.

She kissed him. Trying to suppress the part where he wouldn't be mating her and desperately holding onto the part where she is his mate. She is the only woman destined to be with him in this entire world.

His lips licked hers, sucking on her lower lip repeatedly as he moved them backwards until her back pressed against a cold wall. She didn't feel its coldness that much. Not when she was boiling like coal.

He pushed his tongue into her mouth and growled, demanding that she suck on it in a grunted order. She did, wrapping her lips against his pink, velvet tongue and sucked sensually until he growled again. Then, he began a rhythmical tongue-to-tongue dance with hers that made her moan repeatedly.

She held tightly onto him as her brain whirled, as her body fueled. She parted her thighs, drawing him closer in between until she felt his rock-hard cock at the very place she was creamy and needy.

"Ohhh..." She arched forward, breaking the kiss. He kissed her jaw, trailing lines of kisses down to her neck—

"M-My Lady..." A hesitant voice of Mirian came behind the door, penetrating straight through their haze.

Wolfaraine was so lost in her, he didn't hear or smell the woman come. How could he? When all he heard was Ismena's musical moans and all he smelled was the raspberry scent of her arousal?

"Go away, Mirian." He ordered firmly, before he returned to continue his trails of kisses.

"I-I'm afraid, I bring n-news, your Majesty. N-News that can't wait." She stammered out.

Wolfaraine pulled away slightly and forced his wolf to tune down its sexual desire a little bit and tune in on Mirian. When he achieved this in seconds, he stiffened at the huge pain and worry emanating from Mirian's wolf.

Something is not right.

Something has gone really wrong.

CHAPTER 36. THE BEGINNING OF THE END.

He pulled away from Ismena, swiftly putting her clothes back in order before he stepped towards the door and opened it.

"What is the matter?" He asked, stepping back.

Mirian's eyes were red, her cheeks wet with tears. "My Lady's p-phone was r-ringing non-stop since afternoon until it eventually stopped. I figured she'll a-attend to i-it once s-she r-returns, b-but w-when i-it rang again few m-minutes ago, I decided to answer it knowing you were b-busy with her. I was going to explain to the caller to have a little b-bit of patience b-because my lady is not available at the moment..."

She sniffled, "But, when I p-picked u-u-up the phone, it t-turned out that i-it was her mother. Her f-father was in a g-ghastly car accident a-and..."

"And w-what?" Ismena's tiny voice came up from behind Wolfaraine. She never thought it was possible for a person to go from hot to cold in such a short duration of time, but her body had done it.

She felt cold. Her hands shook as she made her way forward to stand in front of Wolfaraine. She swallowed, but her throat had gone dry. "And what, Mirian?" She repeated hoarsely.

She was only met with more tears.
