In the end, there were dozens of butterflies flying around the room between the two of them and the flutter of wings from the small creatures filled the quiet atmosphere with a light buzz, which echoed through the dark library.

”What is this? ” Yara didn have any idea about what was going on at this moment.

She raised her finger and a small yellow butterfly perched itself on her forefinger.

Yaras eyes opened wide when she watched this in awe. She was not a delicate lady like Lyra, thus she had never thought that a beautiful creature like this would like her.

On the other hand, the king squinted his eyes at the girl before him and spoke with his rough and hoarse voice. ”Who are you? ”

Yara, once again, was startled. Because of the sudden appearance of the butterflies, she forgot about the king completely for a moment.

The young girl immediately lowered her head and put down her finger, which caused the butterfly to fly away.

”Who are you? ” Dageus asked again in a dark voice, he didn have much patience as normal people did. He stretched out his hand and pinned Yaras chin between his fingers, tilting her head so he could see her eyes.

Dageus could see fear in those beautiful black eyes and was certain that those butterflies were not her doing.

She looked startled as well when she saw those creatures appear all of a sudden.

”My name is Yara, the daughter of Julius, the head healer of this place, ” Yara spoke timidly, she tried to look elsewhere except those pale blue eyes, which seemingly pierced through her heart.

Was the king going to kill her because she had trespassed his place? In that sense, she was pretty sure, that even her father wouldn bother to help her.

”I am sorry for trespassing, but I was running away from … ” Yara bit down on her lips, she couldn decide whether it was right or not to tell the king about the alpha.

However, before Yara could explain any further, the king grabbed her hand all of a sudden and pulled her up. She could only stand up nimbly and almost fell forward because of the sudden movement.

Fortunately, the Alpha had some impressive reflexes, thus instead of falling face first on the floor, Yara bumped onto his sturdy chest.

She was about to struggle to get free from him, when her body was covered with his cloak, as the king lazily hugged her.

”Stay still, ” he said in a deep voice that was enough to make Yara stop struggling. ”What is it? ” This time, the king spoke to someone else, who had entered the room.

”It is Alpha Lucian. He said someone from his pack had trespassed this place, so he was trying to chase after that person … ” Alarick stopped mid-sentence when he caught another scent in the air and realized that someone was near the king. ”Dageus …. ”

”Tell him, there is no one here. ” Dageus cut off Alarick suddenly.

”But, who … ” Alarick was flabbergasted.

”She is mine, ” Dageus said simply with authority. He wrapped Yaras body with his cloak and told Alarick to get out of the room. ”Step back. ”

Alarick was stunned and confused. What was happening? He just left this room for a few minutes, but the king was acting strangely now. Who was that woman?

The beta knew that it must be a woman, since there was no way a man smelled like that. Was she the person that alpha Lucian was looking for? The trespasser?

”Is she … ” Alarick still stood in the same place.

”You have seen nothing, ” Dageus emphasized his words firmly and then stared impassively at the beta until he walked out of the room.

Sure thing, a woman wouldn be able to hurt Dageus, even though he was not in his best condition.

After that, Alarick told the guards to tell Alpha Lucian that the person he was looking for was not inside.

Albeit, he didn know why Dageus wanted to keep the woman, since it was not his habit for having a woman close to him.

Yet, if the king didn want to say anything about it, then he couldn say otherwise or force him to do so.

Meanwhile, inside the library, once Alarick stepped outside of the room, Dageus released Yara from his embrace and stared deeply into her eyes.

”Your majesty … ” Yara wanted to thank him for doing that for her. She was sure that something unpleasant would wait for her if the king gave her to Lucian.

However, Dageus shut her up with just one glare. That was enough for Yara to understand that she had to be quiet.

After that, the king pulled up his shirt sleeve and there, on the surface of his skin, Yara could see a dark line, adorning his skin. Like a random intricate mark that looked like a tattoo.

Yara didn know why the king showed her this, but she was sure that she was not allowed to speak or move recklessly without his permission.

All of a sudden, the king grabbed her hand again and placed it on his tattooed arm, where the dark mark was, and witnessed something unbelievable happen.

Something that even made Dageus pale blue eyes widen in surprise.

The dark mark, eventually, faded away, as if Yaras touch had eradicated it and left nothing on his skin.

”What is that? ” Yara whispered. She stared at what was happening before her eyes with disbelief. She was not sure whether it was because of her, or if there was another explanation for that.

”How can you do this? ” Dageus asked, squinting his eyes dangerously at Yara. This dark mark was a result of the curse that he got when he fought the Dark Magus and not even the best healer of this country knew what it was. Yet Yara healed him only with a simple touch of hers?

At this point, no one was leisure enough to care about the butterflies that were fluttering their wings around them. These beautiful creatures, lost their attractiveness now.

Actually, Dageus had realized this already when he touched Yara for the first time. The moment he clasped her chin with his fingers, he witnessed how the dark mark around the fingers that touched her, slowly faded away, just like the one on his arm.

And now, he had irrefutable evidence that it was Yara who cured him. Only with her touch? Was that even possible?

However, Dageus couldn deny the fact before his eyes.

”How can you do this? ” Dageus repeated his words impatiently, as he grabbed Yaras hand and held her tightly.

”I don know, ” Yara said, shaking her head vigorously. ”I don know how I can do this … ” she was telling the truth. Even she was shocked by what she had done.

And when the dark mark around Dageuss arm had totally disappeared, he moved Yaras hand to his upper arm, where another dark mark could be seen.

Yara blinked her eyes, thinking of something …

Yara used to think that she was not born with the ability as a healer, but then again, how was she able to cure the king when even her father didn have any idea about his injuries?

And the main question was, where else were the dark marks on his body? If they adorned his whole body, should she touch him all over to get rid of all that?

And then, as if answering Yaras unspoken question, when the dark mark on his upper arm had gone, the king stepped back and shrugged off his outer cloak along with his shirt and tossed them recklessly.

Seeing that, Yara was dumbstruck. Not because of the sight before her eyes, but the fact that she needed to touch him, to do that magic …

”N… no… ” Yara raised her hands and backed away. She was startled, since this was her first time seeing a man half naked this close.

When Lucian set her up to see him with her sister, Yara only saw their shadows and heard their obscene moans, therefore, she was trembling to see the kings sudden actions, confused about what she should do.

Fortunately, the king stopped approaching her and turned around to pick up his clothes again, as he spoke. ”Why was Lucian looking for you? ” he asked with the same hoarse tone, while wearing back his clothes before approaching Yara, who was standing in the same spot, seemingly couldn move an inch from there.

”He … ” Yara bit her lips and lowered her head.

It was kind of embarrassing to say something like this, yet the king demanded an answer from her.

Once again, the king loomed over her small figure. Now Yara realized that the tip of her head only reached the kings shoulder, which was twice the size of her own. She was sure he was taller, bigger and sturdier than Lucian.

”What he? ” Dageus demanded.

”He is my mate. ” Yara clenched the hem of her dress and this gesture didn go unnoticed by Dageus.

”You will come with me, back to my pack. ” He then added. ”You are mine now. ”
