The Crown's Entrapment

Chapter 667 To Complete The Transformation

?

The next morning, Aurelia groaned as she woke up far earlier than she would've liked. The sun was barely about to rise, and Calypso was still sleeping on his side of the bed as she forced herself to sit up.

[Ugh… I feel like I've been punched in the gut more times than I can count,] she complained in annoyance as she placed a hand on her lower abdomen. [It's a pleasant feeling, but it's annoying.]

[But you enjoyed it though, right?] Aura supplied. [We completed the Mate Bond, and all while denying him his victory.]

She smirked to herself at that thought. True enough, she had managed to reign in her passions long enough to refuse him from hearing her utter his name in pleasure. And while she had given him her first time, her pride was still intact, even if he had heard his annoying high-pitched squeals while she was in the throes of her own pleasure. 

[I have to do something about those some time soon,] she pondered to herself as she carefully stood up, making sure that she wouldn't wake up her mate as she went to the privy to clean herself off. [I refuse to hear myself sounding so stupid like that.]

[Maybe you can damage your vocal chords a bit for it?] Aura suggested. [Or perhaps smoke tobacco?]

Aurelia blinked at her other self's suggestions. With her hands still moving across her body, she replied, [You do realize that those are both highly unhealthy options.]

[They are, but they're also the fastest and most painless ways of naturally lowering your voice further respectively,] her wolf clinically rebutted. [A moan is hard to supress, especially since our body is unnaturally predisposed to pleasure.]

[It's an unfortunate weakness, but one that we managed to turn into an advantage, at least,] Aurelia shrugged. [I can tell through our Bond with Calypso that he struggled to feel my emotions through all of the passion I had within me.]

It was a hypothesis that she had been playing with ever since she recognized such weakness within her. Thankfully, Aura was more than helpful in suggesting that she mask her other emotions behind her passions, effectively masking her feelings from him for the time being. She knew it wouldn't last, especially now that the Bond was finally complete, but it was still another layer of privacy that she could use if the situation called for it.

[At least we don't have to use such a method anymore,] Aura sighed in relief. [Harnessing such strong emotions almost made you lose control.]

Shaking her head, Aurelia finished up with cleaning her body. Donning a new and clean dress for the day, she went back out to their bedroom. To her surprise, Calypso was already up, his naked body still glistening against the early sunlight as he smiled at her.

"You're up early," he smoothly stated.

"I felt dirty even in my sleep," she scoffed, crossing her arms over her chest as she raised an eyebrow at his nakedness. "And I see that you're still as naked as last night."

"Like what you see then?" Calypso chuckled as he stood up and spread his arms. 

"I think you already know that answer to that," Aurelia coldly huffed before turning around to face the door. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'd like to have some breakfast sooner rather than later."

"Wait, Lia. Can't you at least wait for me?"

Pausing in her steps, she turned to face her mate, his ever present smile and chiseled naked body making her passion start to flare up again. "If you want me to wait for you, then you best get ready in the next five minutes."

"I can do that," he chuckled. 

Aurelia leaned on the nearest wall to her as she watched Calypso sprint towards the privy. She could only assume that he was scrubbing himself clean as quickly as possible, just so that he could walk with her down to the dining room.

[And we can share each other's thoughts now too,] she observed as she felt his excitement seeping through their Bond. [He's rather excited.]

[Why wouldn't he be?] Aura chuckled in her mind. [He just mated with you. Any male werewolf would be ecstatic if they managed to bed their mate.]

A few minutes later, Calypso emerged from the privy, water still trickling down his bare chest as he hastily dabbed his body dry with his towel. He flashed her another smile, which she could admit affected her somewhat, but those feelings quickly died down as she watched him put on the first set of clothes he could find. They were clean, thankfully, but he clearly went for the casual lazy look based on how uncombed his hair still was when he stood in front of her.

"I'm ready," he grinned at her. "Shall we?"

Aurelia raised an eyebrow at him before shrugging. "I guess you'll be as ready as you'll ever be."

Without much fanfare, the two of them made their way to the dining room. There, they shared a small breakfast, Aurelia keeping her silence as she enjoyed the peace and tranquillity that she was feeling at the moment. However, Calypso went and broke it as he asked her a question.

"So… How was it?"

Aurelia felt her brows twitch as such a loaded question. "How is what?"

"Last night," he answered back.

She glared at him even as her passions flared up again from all of the memories flooding back into her mind. "Is that even a question you should be asking? We're Bonded now. Surely you know what I felt."

It was an unfair response, but she wasn't even kidding when she knew that her lust and passion almost got the better of her that night. While she was wielding such emotions as a shield, it was also a danger to her control, which was why she was glad that she was finally able to manually put up a wall against him to hide her thoughts from him.

"All I felt was your hot passion," he replied, his cheeks blushing ever so slightly. "It was so overwhelming too."

"Then you have your answer," she scoffed, a blush also forming on her cheeks as she averted her gaze. "Anyway, I'd like to try shifting again today."

"Are you sure?" Calypso asked.

"I think I can do it now," she coolly replied. "With our Bond now complete, I should have enough energy to complete the transformation."

It was one of the reasons why she completed the Bond in the first place. At least, that was what she kept telling herself.
