My Mate Is A Virgin – Chapter 32

Jasper POV

The day following our coronation night went by in the blink of an eye. I had to accompany Andromeda on multiple meetings and helped her go over piles of documents. Since the king pretty much played the role of a consort in cat society, with the female leader actually ruling over a kingdom, my main duty was to provide support and companionship to my queen. Of course, I had to know everything she did in order to participate and help her in meetings, but I was a quick learner. In the end, it wasn’t as scary as I had expected. It was still a little tiring to constantly conceal my emotions, but seeing how happy she was made it all worth it.

Although my first day as king was quite hectic, I took it as a great opportunity to keep myself busy, which prevented me from worrying about my weird powers. I had finally been able to communicate with Phoenix, who, sadly, was just as confused as I was. He explained that he felt drained after our combat with Wade, but the real reason why I couldn’t reach out to him was because he was hiding away in the depths of my mind. Like my mate suggested, he was shocked, and also scared of how destructive his newfound abilities could be. Our conversation didn’t make me feel any better, but since there was nothing I could do but wait, I tried my best not to think about it.
