The Crown's Entrapment

Chapter 732 [Bonus chapter] My Instinct

As soon as the Mount Sorel Guild Members made sure that every kingdom and their entourage had safely arrived and settled themselves in the location they had assigned to them inside the Haven Forest, they then began distributing parchment that contained the series of events that would happen during the Global Summit. It was prepared by the Guild to make sure that everyone knew what exactly was planned for the multiple days required by the Global Summit's process.

Once night fell, everyone was given enough time to rest. The program would start early in the morning anyway, and nothing was about to happen until then.

Preparing for bed, Bella found herself sharing a tent with Lena. For some reason, she felt uneasy about this. It was only after she had another look at her friend that the realization hit her… Lena looked so much like the Fairy Queen that it was almost uncanny. What if Osman recognized her first and his past feelings for her then?

[This is annoying,] she inwardly grumbled as she stared at Lena casually sip on the cofffee she made for her. [And here I thought I'd be able to handle things well…]

Bella let out a deep sigh. Maybe she had to plan something? The two would definitely meet once the gathering of the kingdoms started.

"Bella? Something seems to be bothering you," Lena worriedly addressed her. "Come here. Why not have a cup of coffee with me?"

Hearing her offer, Bella stood up from her bed and walked towards the table where Lena was. She was about to sit with her when she heard Amon's voice.

"Come here."

At his command, she felt the power of the thread connecting her to him tug at her. Her lips stretched wide. She almost forgot that his spell was still on her.

"Ah, I have to go out for a while," Bella informed Lena as she stood up. "Don't wait for me, alright? Rest early as soon as you feel sleepy."

Bella then rushed out of the tent without a second thought. She didn't know where to go, but her feet still took her to where Amon was calling her.

[Give him an advance notice about Lena. Tell him that she looks like the Fairy Queen Fairy so that if his memories of her ever return, he won't be too surprised,] Poona reminded her. [That way, he can just casually approach Lena and create a scene or something.]

Bella found herself agreeing with that thought. She knew what her wolf was worrying about, and it sounded like a good idea anyway.

Walking further, she frowned as she noticed that she wasn't going that far from their assigned area. There, she saw Amon standing and waiting for her under the oak tree with his back to her. For some reason, Bella had this urge to hug him from behind.

[Do you think he'd mind?] she asked Poona.

[And since when did you have to ask for my opinion regarding the matter?] her wolf scoffed. [You already know my answer…]

Bella chuckled. Oh yes, Poona wouldn't really care and simply follow her instincts. After all, Amon was their mate, and that pleasing scent was enough for her to be drawn towards him. To be honest, she wanted to be glued to him with how much she was attracted to him.

[What if I go into heat?] she curiously questioned herself.

Female werewolves blessed with experiencing the Mate Pull would usually undergo a period where they would go into heat once a year. No one could usually tell when that would happen except that they would experience the usual symptoms… which were to feel extremely horny and eager to mate.

[Then grab him and take advantage of him,] Poona humorously replied. [What else are you supposed to do?]

Bella blush hard at the thought. Why was she even thinking about that now? She would just have to cross that bridge once she got there. For now, she should stay focused on helping Amon remember his feelings for her.

Approaching Amon, she was unable to help herself as she bravely hugged him from behind. The moment she wrapped her arms around him, she felt his body stiffen. After a bit of time, Amon moved, and he was about to remove her arms from his waist when she breathed, "Just a little more and I'll let you go. I just missed your warmth."

She felt his body tense at her words, and she smiled as she interpreted it as him getting affected by her body pressing against him. She could even smell his arousal now. The scent of it was just too strong.

All things had to come to an end, however, as she then released him from her grasp. Amon took a deep breath as he let out a loud exhale, and the sound of him doing that just made her smile widen even more.

"I won't say sorry. After all, I'm not sorry for hugging you. If your memories come back, then you'll know that you're the one who'd always initiate things, even the kiss," she nonchalantly spilled to him as she comfortably sat and rested her back on the tree. "I believe you have kissed me five times already. You're my first kiss, actually…"

Amon just stared at her with a frown. Ignoring his conflicted look, she gestured for him to sit beside her.

"Why is it that you wanted us to meet? Do you want to remove the spell on me?" she casually asked. "Although, I really don't mind if you want to keep that spell active on me."

She watched Amon sat quietly with her. Seeing him like that with his stoic countenance, she couldn't help but wonder just what exactly was going on inside his head. She had been talking nonstop to him while he remained silent, so much different from the Osman she knew who usually had a lot of antics in store for her.

"I'll remove the spell from you now. It's only proper to do so," he casually replied. "And besides, what's the need for me to keep it? I have a feeling that getting entangled with you would only bring more trouble around me."

Bella frowned. "You're so annoying!" she grumbled. "Fine, remove it so that I can go back to my tent and sleep instead."

At her slight outburst, Amon simply shrugged before starting the chant to remove the spell. Right then and there, Bella saw the glowing thread between them break and slowly vanish.

"Done," Amon murmured.

Eyes narrowing, she turned to him only to catch him staring at her. Somehow, just seeing him like that made her annoyance at him quickly disappear. She could only shrug at how this man could easily and effortlessly manipulate her. She was so weak whenever it came to him, and the Mate Pull was probably partly to blame for it.

Looking at him, his face reddened as he finally caught himself staring at her, maybe because of the embarrassment.

Shaking her head, she had a pout as she crossed her arms together. "Just so you know… You're my mate. I felt it the moment we saw each other in that waterfall. You have this distinct sultry, addictive, and mesmerizingly precious oud wood scent on you with a note of aromatic tobacco that I just can't help but like," she casually stated.

"Just in case you wanted to know, of course. I'm sure you're well aware of the Mate Pull among werewolves… If not, then you better study up about it. And don't get surprised by my future actions since I have no control over my instincts… Well…"

Bella stood up as she intentionally let her words hang. Rolling her eyes, she turned to Amon whose still mouth agape as she smiled. "Well… I guess I can still control my instinct somehow," she shrugged. "Except that I prefer not to control it and let it reign all over me."

With that, she winked at him before turning around to leave.
