At this point, I wondered how he was still surviving without food. Sure, werewolves could go a day or two without eating and still have strength, but for a while now, I hadn’t seen this man touch a single meal or even have anything brought to his study. So how was he still going without eating?
Was it because he was the Lycan King? Did he have some special ability that let him last longer without food than normal werewolves?
That was probably the case.
But still, I didn’t like it. The thought of him neglecting himself made my chest ache, so I came up with a brilliant idea, I would cook his favorite meal: creamy potato salad with bacon. And this time, I would make him eat it.
Darius had loved that dish a lot in my past life. He especially enjoyed it when I cooked it for him. According to him, mine was always the best, and he claimed he could recognize it anywhere because it had a unique taste only I gave it.
I wanted to see if that was true, if he would really recognize it again, if he would notice it was just like how I used to make it as Liana.
So, to cut the story short, I barged into the kitchen this morning, surprising not only the kitchen staff but also Serena, who stared at me in disbelief. I couldn’t blame her. As Nyssa, I had never stepped into a kitchen, let alone cooked. But as Liana, I had been a very good chef. I had learned to cook just so I could make something for Darius when he came back exhausted after long hours with the pack elders.
Seeing his eyes light up in joy as he ate my meals had pushed me to learn even more.
So after cooking this morning, it wasn’t surprising that the rich aroma drifted through the space, making everyone want a taste of what I’d made.
But this dish, this one belonged only to Darius.
When I was done, I barged into Darius’s study, holding the food with a wild grin.
“Good morning, my king! You didn’t eat this morning again, so I thought you had no appetite and went ahead to cook your favorite, you know, the one you always ate whenever you didn’t feel like eating?”
I said with an excited expression, and the moment I lifted the lid from the plate, his stunned eyes flickered to the meal. Almost immediately, I saw it, surprise flashed in his gaze, his mouth slightly parted in shock as he stared at the food that had once brought him happiness.
Whenever he ate this, all his fatigue and stress seemed to vanish.

Darius didn’t speak. He just stared, frozen, his eyes locked on the dish as though in a daze.
The silence stretched, heavy, until I felt the weight of every gaze on me from behind, Cassain, Drake, and Serena watching.
“You love this, don’t you? Why don’t you have a taste? I cooked it just for you, my king.”
I smiled brightly, and Darius finally lifted his head, his expression still stunned as if he was trying to wrap his mind around what was happening.
But then, the very next second, his eyes narrowed at me. His mouth parted, ready to speak and I knew exactly what was coming. Something harsh, like “How dare you barge in” or “What is the meaning of this?”
So before he could get a single word out, I leaned in, closing the distance, catching him off guard. His eyes widened in surprise, and in that moment, I quickly scooped up a spoonful, blew sharply on it, and shoved it straight into his mouth.
His eyes went even wider at my boldness, and behind us, a chorus of gasps filled the room, Serena even screamed like I’d just done something insane. But I didn’t care. I only watched as Darius’s expression began to
shift.
The shock on his face slowly melted into disbelief. His gaze darkened, his eyes narrowing at me as though he couldn’t believe what he was tasting. And that was when the corners of my lips curled into a small, knowing smile. He had realized it, it tasted exactly like the one I used to make, as Liana.
“What, my king?” I teased, raising a brow, my voice dripping with mischief. “Is it that good that you can’t even say anything?”
The instant the words left my lips, Darius’s eyes flashed a shade brighter. Before I could react, his hand shot out, snatching the spoon from mine. Under everyone’s stunned gazes, he took another bite. Then another. And another.
Each time he ate, his expression only grew darker, heavier, more intense, until he looked less like a king savoring a meal and more like a beast barely keeping control.
My grin stretched wider, wilder, as I watched him. Cassian, Drake, and Serena stood frozen in disbelief, stunned at the sight of Darius eating like a starved man. But I knew the truth, he wasn’t just eating because he enjoyed it. No. He was eating because he needed to be sure. He wanted to confirm the taste, to see if his mind was deceiving him… or if it was truly the same as Liana’s.
And the more he ate, the clearer the realization became, yes, it was exactly like Liana’s. But what made me happier was the fact that he was already halfway through the food.
“It’s good that you’re eating, my king. Just as you like it, isn’t it?” I said softly.
The spoon in Darius’s hand froze mid–air at my words. His eyes snapped to mine, blazing with anger and fury. Before I could react, he let the spoon clatter back into the plate and, with a violent sweep of his arm, sent the entire tray crashing to the floor. The sound of shattering echoed through the space, making me gasp.
Then, before I could even draw another breath, he was on his feet. His hand shot out, seizing my dress, yanking me toward him with such force I stumbled straight into his chest as he roared.
