The Crown's Entrapment

Chapter 673 [Bonus ] Is This An After-Effect

?

Calypso let out a heavy sigh inside the bedroom as he waited for Aurelia to return.

"Do you think she managed to shift back to her human form?" he murmured.

[We'll see soon enough,] Axel answered him. [But I do believe she succeeded, seeing as she hasn't contacted us yet.]

"Well, there's also that one downside in completing the Mate Bond in that she can now put a wall against us whenever she wants," he snorted. He wasn't pleased at all with the fact that he could no longer feel Aurelia's emotions whenever he wanted.

[Well, you can always assist her on how she can bare her fangs,] Axel hummed. [She has a wolf now, so I'm sure that she can mark you as well if she wanted to. That way, you two can no longer hide each other's emotions from one another.] 

Calypso shook his head as he murmured, "That's easier said than done. Knowing Aurelia's preferences regarding how she views her privacy, I doubt she'll even consider marking me back at all, Axel." He sighed, "Ah, this is honestly frustrating. It feels like I'm back to zero with her again. Not feeling her emotions like this when I thought I'm already gaining her favor just feels bad."

[Relax… Having Aura by her side gives us an advantage,] Axel laughed as he reassured him. [Aurelia can now feel the Mate Bond, and it will be impossible for her to resist the Pull. We'll use that to our advantage. Besides, why are you even fretting about this when we already felt how much Aurelia likes you? She likes you a lot. Although, we're still not sure if she has already developed something deep enough to be considered love…]

"Love, huh…" Calypso groaned.

[Yes, love,] Axel teased. [And you should admit by now that you're developing that same feeling towards our mate!]

"I really don't…" Calypso grumbled with a frown. 

There was no way he would involve his heart in this. What he had now was nothing but pure instinct because of the Mate Pull. Yes, he liked Lia a lot apart from just what the Mate Pull dictated. But Love? Hah, he refused to give up on guarding his heart. It was what killed his father, and that was enough for him to learn his lesson.

[I won't waste my breath by saying the same words all over again to you…] Axel snorted. [Suffer on your own if you want. It won't overcome the fear that's creeping in your heart…]

Calypso chuckled, feeling the disappointment from his own wolf. He was about to fire some more words to debate with Axel when the door suddenly swung open.

He blinked at the only woman who simply looked so radiant and stunning in his eyes. His mate... Aurelia met his gaze as she walked towards him.

"Welcome back to your human form!" he congratulated with a wide smile. Finally, she managed to come back. He honestly missed her so much already, and…

Lia didn't answer him. Instead, she simply crawled onto the bed on top of him. Calypso gulped at her actions. That move of hers looked so seductive that it instantly made him so hard.

"How come you're not putting a wall against me? Is that intentional, Calypso?" Aurelia murmured with wrinkled brows as she comfortably settled herself on his lap, straddling him.

"Hmm, I would appreciate it if you'd do the same, Lia," he murmured, leaning closer to her until there was only an inch separating their faces. "I don't want to hide anything from you at all. I want you to feel how much I care for you, and how your simple gestures make me feel. You're so lovely, and I can't help but want you more and more…"

"You're so hard and aroused…" Aurelia mumbled, her warm breath fanning against his hungry lips.

"Can you please remove the wall, Lia? I want to feel you… I want to know if you feel the same hunger as I do," he gasped, almost begging her with his dilated pupil.

Aurelia didn't answer, but her unexpected movement of brushing herself against his bulge between his groin made him groan in intense pleasure. He loved it so much when she took the lead like this. He always got so turned on whenever she was intimately aggressive around him, and that was aside from her just being aggressive with him with her tactless words.

"Hmmm, I won't remove the wall against you unless you'll be totally honest with me. Not just with your actions or whatever I'm feeling from your emotions alone, but honest with me in words as well, Calypso," Aurelia declared, her eyes glaring at him with deadly seriousness. 

"There's no need for you to read my emotions because I'll vocally and personally tell you what I'm thinking. I can tell you right now that I want you just as much as you want me. I have no patience for misunderstandings in my life. And right now, I'm dying for you to take me and claim me like you always do."

'Damn, she almost killed me just now!' Calypso inwardly thought. 

He just felt like he melted like a block of ice under the sun the moment she uttered that declaration. He was in such high spirits that his mind suddenly went mush for a second as her words registered in his head.

[Dummy! What are you waiting for? It's not every day that our mate will admit something like this to you!] Axel scolded, snapping him back to reality. [Come on now! Let her scream your name in great pleasure!]

He was about to say something, but Aurelia was quick to shut him up by suddenly kissing him… No… what was happening? Aurelia was ravishing his mouth, and Calypso was utterly caught off guard. 

"You're being so slow tonight… This time, I'll take the lead…" Aurelia murmured into his lips in between kisses. 

Calypso was left stunned as he simply moaned instead of giving out an actual answer.

'Is this an after-effect of her being in her wolf form for so long?' he thought at the back of his head before he ripped off all of Aurelia's clothes. 'Should I start teaching her to shift into her hybrid form and pray that she gets stuck again for a day or two?' 

Well, whatever it was, it didn't matter anymore. He planned to riddle every part of her body with his love bites, and he wasn't going to leave anything untouched until he was done!
