On Again... Love You Like Oxygen

* You might wanna listen to "Habits by Genevieve Stokes" for this chapter.

"Hold on. I thought it was lunch and not a coronation. Besides, I'm not even a prince, so this just—" Tamiko began but the King wasn't having any of it. 

"Every son is their mother's little prince, and a ray of sunshine, Hinata. Dress up, we're getting late," King Zaffuto insisted and Tamiko knew he wouldn't win this time. 

When Tamiko was done dressing, King Zaffuto couldn't believe what he saw, so he mind-linked Sadako.

'If he was mine, you'd tell me, brother, right?' King Zaffuto asked as he looked at the beaming Lycan before him. 

He had scoured the mind links for any and all mentions of Tamiko, and yet he hadn't gotten anything, not even from Igor, who was Tamiko's mate. It was strange and that got the King having a restless night the previous day.
