The Crown's Entrapment



Aurelia sighed deeply as Calypso gently shoved the cooked meat inside her mouth.

"Do you want more? Our appetite in our wolf form can be quite different from our human form, so please don't be shy," Calypso teased. He was obviously enjoying her suffering while pampering her to no extent. "I won't be surprised if you'd want to eat a whole roasted lamb all by yourself."

She didn't comment and simply glared at him, effectively shutting him up. She couldn't believe how she got stuck in her wolf form.

[How long do you think I will remain in this form?] she grumbled to Calypso through their Mate Bond.

"Hmm… I'm not sure. But that's quite normal for those who have a fragile wolf," Calypso hummed. "Oh, right, I believe Clara experienced the same thing and her case lasted for just about a day. Hopefully, you'll be back to normal by tomorrow." He chuckled, "Anyway, I'll be taking care of you for now. Feel free to eat some more. Later, I'll clean you up so we can sleep together. Ah… I'll be sleeping in your arms this time, my fluffy mate…"

Aurelia could only roll her eyes at seeing how his eyes sparkled with his every word. She could feel how excited he was through their Bond, and it was honestly both annoying and begrudgingly endearing.

"Don't worry, I'll also shift to my wolf form so you won't feel left behind…" Calypso added.

After dinner, Calypso took care of her well and cleaned her up for bed. He then led her to her sleeping area where he asked a servant to arrange a soft mattress where both of them could fit in their wolf forms. She simply watched as he undressed himself to shift into his wolf form.

[He's so fit…] Aurelia unknowingly mumbled inside her head, her eyes glued to her mate's body as she raised an eyebrow. All of a sudden, she was feeling rather weird… an annoying feeling that made her grunt out, [Are werewolves always like this?]

[What? Aroused?] Aura scoffed with a peal of crisp laughter.

[Well, not always of course. It depends. You're currently in your fertile period, which is why it's getting rather hard for you to control yourself,] her wolf helpfully explained. [We can always mate with him if you want to in our wolf forms. That's allowed so long as we're in the same forms… We can't do it if we're in different forms from each other. Humans can only mate with humans of the opposite sex, of course, and animals with animals under the same rule. That's how it should be in the Almighty's rule and law…]

[You sound different than usual,] Aurelia noted. 

[It's… complicated,] Aura shrugged. [I still feel the same, if that's what you're asking.]

She raised an eyebrow at Aura's behavior. She could feel how much her wolf wanted to interact with Calypso. Seeing that, she might as well be a bit intimate with Calypso in their wolf forms that night.

The next morning, she woke up alone on their soft mattress, but it didn't last long because Calypso entered with trays of roasted meats behind him for breakfast.

"Lena will be arriving today. Eat up then see if you can finally shift back into your human form," Calypso remarked with a wink. "If you still can't, then we'll have to welcome her in your wolf form. I'm sure she wouldn't mind it though. She might even be pleased with how adorable you look."

Aurelia bit her inner cheek as she tried her best to control the erratic beating of her heart. She had a feeling that she was truly losing herself to Calypso's charm. It looked like she would end up like any other woman in his hands with her falling in love with him in the end. She could feel it, and she would be a hypocrite if she denied how she was slowly falling for her mate.

[I see no point in resisting it, to be honest,] Aura voiced out. [Calypso is doing everything in his power for us to see how serious he is in building this relationship… this family with you…]

[And here I thought you're on my side,] Aurelia sighed. [So in the end, you'll let ourselves be slaves to our emotions?]

[It's in our nature,] her wolf sighed with her. [I can't keep fighting it forever, and so do you…]

She could only sigh in resignation. Was this really the case? Did Calypso manage to override the feelings she had for Gideon in just a short time? She never thought that it would even be possible… that her years' long love for Gideon would be replaced just like that.

[Of course, it's possible,] Aura added. [It's not really time that heals you, but having another loves you. You found it in Calypso, and he is showing that to you…]

[He actually never said it yet,] Aurelia growled. [We really don't know if he loves me yet since he never says those words to me. What if this is nothing more but him merely acting out his obligation because of the Mate Bond? This might just be him following his instincts. It's different from love, Aura…] 

[Looks like Calypso did get to you deeper than you thought,] her wolf noted. [You're actually feeling disappointed that it might not be love, unlike with your usual self where you wouldn't care at all.]

Aurelia was yet to comment, but Calypso snapped her back from her trance.

"Dig in, Lia, while our food is warm," he said as she slowly shoved a chunk of food into her mouth.

She didn't refuse him, letting Calypso feed her like the last time he did so. Honestly, she rather liked the feeling of being pampered. It felt like she was the most important person in his life at that moment in time and she was starting to get used to it. 

[I feel like I'm in big trouble…] Aurelia inwardly thought.
