Mine: His Caged Princess
Chapter 18

“I can help you.” Tiara offered her help.

“If you want to help me in terms of money, then no thanks, but I won’t mind if you want to help me by giving me some time for the decoration of this room. Then that will be fine.” Wylder responded.

“Fine with me!!” Tiara winked at him and already started planning how she was going to design this room. She would also take Caroline’s suggestions on it and also Wylder, of course. After all, he was his room.

Tiara then saw the hall and a kitchen attached to it. After that, she stepped out of the house and gasped, realizing that his home was very far from the main city and there was nothing around except greeneries, roads, trees, and a couple of houses.

“Wow!!” She mouthed and walked inside his home again.

“Your home is so beautiful and at an amazing location,” Tiara spoke, to which he just smiled.

“Come on!! I will show you the best part of… my home.” He spoke after a pause. Tiara felt that he was going to say something else but ended up speaking something else. Or maybe he chose to speak something else.

With that, he took her to the backyard of the house, and Tiara’s eyes widened looking at the backyard. It was full of various colors of tulips. Tulips were her favorite flower.

“Oh, my god!!” She whispered.” Oh my god!!” She screamed in happiness. “Oh my god!” She jumped on Wylder, feeling happy and in excitement. “Wow!! Wow!! Woww!!” She shouted. Wylder laughed at her childish behavior, wrapping his hand around her waist. He was happy to see Tiara smiling, finally.

At the same time, he had to control his inner beast from not controlling his line. He closed his eyes and felt her soft body against his. His d**k was already painfully hard.

“Ara.” He called her name hoarsely, reminding her to step away from him.

“Oops!! Sorry. I got carried away.” Tiara apologized and looked at the tulips, running toward them to touch them.

‘I won’t say sorry when I will get carried away.’ Night grumbled only if she knew what she was doing to him.

‘Night, please!! She just came out of her mate bond. We can’t hurry.’

‘This all happened because only if you would have shared your feeling being she would have found her mate, then neither of these happened. I would have been enjoying my time with my red, and you would have been with Ara.’ Night snapped at his human for waiting for her this long. ‘But anyway, if you don’t want me to cross my line, then maintain some distance with her. My s*x desires are way too stronger than yours.’

“Strange!! I didn’t reach my place last night, and I’m still not there, but I haven’t received a single call from my protective brother, Colton.” Tiara said, munching food and checking her phone.

“He knows that you’re with me,” Wylder responded.

“Does he?” Tiara asked in shock.

“Your brother is keeping an eye on you continuously after all this mess, you know,” Wylder spoke. “He cares for you a lot. And I’m glad that he trusts you with me, even though I’m the opposite s*x.” He added.

“Well…. Not only Colton but my whole family trusted me with you even though we used to share the same bed at night and close used to stay close.” Tiara pointed out. “Because they knew that you will never cross the line of friendship.” She added with a smile. Wylder had to bite his cheek from speaking unnecessary things.

He wanted to tell her that it was because they trusted him, even though they knew that he loved their daughter.

He wanted to tell her that it was because her brothers believed that his sister would be safe with him, but he stayed silent.

‘How could everyone sense my feelings for her but not her? Didn’t I spend my whole time with her? Then how can she miss observing that?’

“What do you think, Ara? Why do your parents trust you with me?” He couldn’t help but ask to know what exactly think except for treating him as a friend.

“Because you grew in front of them. They know you and trust you.”

“And?”

“And you’re my best friend.”

“Oh please!! I don’t want to hear this reason. Because you have a lot of male best friends, but there is a big restriction on you for sharing the room with them. At least not in front of them, in their mansion.” Wylder scoffed, to which Tiara laughed, knowing how her protective father was back then. He was protective of her even now, but now he just glared at all the men around her.

“You are like dad’s godson, and tell me, why will doubt his daughter with you? Aren’t we like brothers and sisters?” Tiara said, motioning her fingers back and forth between them. Instead of getting angry, Night started laughing by watching the result of Wylder’s patience. At the same time, Wylder’s eyes widened in shock, he opened his mouth to speak something rude to her, but he pressed his lips tightly.

“Do you picture me as your brother?” Wylder asked. He agreed that Brandon Haysbert was like his godfather. And they kind of shared a relationship of father and son to some extent, but he could bet that he never thought of him as Liara’s brother, not when he had clearly said, ‘I don’t want to be Ara’s brother. I want her to be MINE.’

These were his exact words when he and Aunt Sophia talked with him about adopting him. To be honest, he had no problem in becoming HAYSBERT, but things would have gone so wrong in that way.

At that moment, Brandon glared at the little boy for speaking about making his daughter his to his face.

‘Do you even know what you are speaking, boy?’

‘Yes! I want to k**s her like you k**s Aunt Sophia on her lips. And brothers don’t k**s in that way.’ Wylder said, to which Sophia smiled while Brandon frowned.

This time, Sophia spoke, reaching near him, “Wylder, you are too young to think all these things. Still, now that you have shared this with us. Can you promise us something?’

‘What is that?’

‘That you will always share your feelings with me until you grow a little older? I promise that I will listen to you and guide you.’ Sophia suggested. She wasn’t sure when Wylder would have this feeling for Tiara. It might change after years or might not. But at this age, she had to act maturely instead of getting harsh on him just because he expressed his feelings.

Wylder came out of his thought when Tiara spoke, “I don’t know. But you have always been protective toward me like Colton, scarring boys who used to show any type of interest in me.” Tiara responded after thinking for a while. “You used to give me a vibe of a brother. So, yes, I used to tell everyone that you were like my brother when they used to think of us as a couple. On the top, you supported me like a family member.” She explained, recalling those days.

“Uncle Brandon is protective and supportive of Aunt Sophia.” Wylder pointed out in a low tone and observed Tiara’s expression. She took a moment to absorb his words in her mind, and her body froze. “My protective nature toward you was never similar to Colton or Calvin’s protective nature for you, Ara.”

“What… what are you trying to say, Wild?”

Wylder knew that Tiara wanted him to speak clearly, unlike in puzzles. At the same time, he could sense her fear. It looked like she didn’t want him to speak about what she was thinking.

“I used to like you, Ara, in a romantic way.” He finally spoke half the truth. Yes, he used to like you but not anymore because now he loves her.

To be honest, he was scared of her reaction too. But what she did next break his heart!! He couldn’t help and start regretting opening his mouth.

“I want to leave.” She spoke before standing up on her feet and walking away.
