The Werewolf King’s Bride - Chapter 137

(From Blue’s Perspective)

“Actually, even I was surprised when she went there. I thought that she liked the place or was confused, so she went there. That time, I never suspected anything. And when I went there, the moment I saw you, I was drawn to you. I don’t think it will be a lie if I say that it was not love,” he said.

It was not like I expected anything else. But hearing him say it was strange. I felt a sting in my heart. I was just wishing that even if it was not love that time, it should be now. Or I had no idea what I would do.

“Oh, wait…”

He went to the restroom and brought two towels. I tried to free my hand that he tied above my head, but it was too tight.

“Don’t try. Or you will get marks,” he said.

“Where did y-you get the… rope in the f-first place?” I asked.

“It was under the bed, for emergency purposes,” he replied.

‘Emergency purposes?’

He started wiping my body dry. Perhaps because I was naked, his touch felt very cold. He had already worn his robe. With one towel, he wrapped my body and wrapped my wet hair with the other one.

“Anyway, it’s true that I wanted you. But I never knew why. It was as if I just wanted you without any reason, or perhaps there was a reason, I just did not know what. Then after you came here, well, the moment I first saw you that night; I think I truly fell for you that time. So, it was like love at second sight.”

“So, you don’t know why you wanted me?”

“No, I did not. But don’t think I don’t love you now,” he said. “It was a huge surprise when I heard that you have black mana inside you.”

I had a lot of theories. And I had two options. One was to believe Demetrius and the other one was not to trust him.

I had trusted him all this time. I thought he was not someone who would deceive me. But now I was confused.

“Well, let’s say that… I trust you,” I said. “Then tell me a f-few things. How… did you know where E-Evelyn went?”

“How… Mother told me,” he said. “Evelyn was with Mother before leaving. I think they were having tea in the garden since they love tea. And Evelyn was almost always with Mother before. She told her this.”

“Then why didn’t… Mother stop her?” I asked.

“What happened was when Evelyn told Mother this, Mother told her not to do it. But she still sneaked out. Mother guessed what happened and went to me.”

“What about your… father? Where was he?”

“He agreed with Mother and told me to go there,” he said. “And besides, Father had something to do as well.”

‘If I was a mother, I wouldn’t tell my son to go to an unknown place. And a proper father would not say so as well. Guess things are different here. Mother couldn’t possibly want to harm Dem and she said that Dem’s father was an okay father as well. Perhaps because he has Alpha blood inside him, his parents believed in his.’

‘Yet, I don’t approve of this…’

“I don’t get anything,” I sighed. “Everything is strange…”

“I agree. But I am not lying,” he said.

“Can… I talk to your s-sister?”

“Evelyn? Why?”

“I want to… talk to her… just a bit,” I said.

“So, you want to talk to her about this,” he said. “Don’t reveal everything to her.”

“I won’t… But when can I meet h-her?”

“She will be in the banquet as well,” he said. “She and her husband will head there and you can meet her there. Ava will be there as well. You wanted to meet her as well.”

The situation was strange. If I trusted him, then it meant that he did not fall for me when he first met me. But he told me he did.

“Then why did… you tell me that you f-fell for me at f-first sight?” I asked. Even a single remark affected my feelings.

“It was because…”

“You can’t say?”

“It was because I didn’t know what else to say.”

“What… do you mean?”

“Actually, I wanted you, but I didn’t know why. It was as if I was meant to have you without any particular reason. I waited for you for seven years. There was obviously a reason that time. But now, I can’t remember anything,” he said. “Now it feels like I don’t even know what I wanted that time. What could I tell you? That I waited for you for seven years because of a reason that I don’t even know?”

Seeing him so desperate was a rare sight. It did not seem like he was lying about this one. So, he had a reason to want me, but he now had no idea what it was. It was almost as if someone possessed his mind. And then stopped it all of a sudden and because of that, he did not remember what he wanted that time.

“I just remember your face and the fact that I wanted you. I did not touch any other women because they disgusted me. Every single of them… I remembered almost everything about you. Then when I went to get you that night, it was as if I met you for the first time. That’s when I fell for you. And that’s also the time when I was confused why I wanted you before. I mean, I wanted you that time. But before that night, I could not find any reason to want you.”

If he was telling the truth, it could mean only one thing. He was possessed by something or someone and somehow, the night he met me, he could not be possessed again and he started to regain his original senses.

“I don’t know about that…”

“Know about… what?”

“About what you’re thinking,” he said. “How can someone possess me? I have never heard of something like this.”

Well, it could be possible. I had been seeing all kinds of strange things happening in this world. People could literally turn into wolves here, not that I had seen yet. And then there was magic, mind-reading ability, a necklace that prevented mind reading and also could be used as a self-defense tool, dark mages, and so on. Nothing seemed impossible anymore. And I was pretty sure that I might be right with my assumptions.

“I understand you, but… I don’t think you’re right about this,” he said.

“So, you’re saying… that you wanted me for n-no freaking reason?” I yelled. “Hah, cut it out! Honestly, are you… really trying to make me believe that? Even a k-kid won’t believe such… a thing! Really, I don’t even… know what to do or what… to think anymore? Do you have any i-idea how it feels like when… all these sorts of information d-dump on your head? When you brought me here, I had no idea… what to expect. T-That time, I thought I was like… a slave or something. Then you… were very kind to me and s-showed that you love me. What was I supposed to feel then, huh? I truly… fell in love with you. But now this! What the hell am I supposed t-to do? Ugh, I hate this!”

He did not say anything. What did he even have to say? Even though I was beaten up in my family, at least, they never hid their true colors. But I did not understand him. Just when I thought I did, I was proven wrong.

“Just… Just let me go…,” I mumbled. “Let me… leave. I don’t want to be… loved anymore. I don’t need anything. Money, love, a-affection, a lover, a husband- I don’t need any of those. I just… don’t want to bear the weight o-of this pressure… It’s annoying and… painful.”

The tears did not stop now. It felt like my heart was breaking. “Please… I don’t want to be h-here anymore…”

“Then was it a lie when you said that you would be with me forever?” he asked coldly.

“That time I didn’t know… you were lying!”

“I told you I’m not lying!” he yelled back.

“Ha, I want to l-leave…”

“Leave?” he muttered. “Leave?”

“Dem…”

“Then I should have just tied you down so you can never leave me,” he said. “How can you even think of leaving? Just because you think I’m lying…”

“Everything is p-pressuring me. This pregnancy and then all these… I really am tired,” I said. “I just wanted a simple life…”

“I told you to get rid of this thing, but you won’t listen!”

“How can I know that… you’re not telling me to get rid of the…. child so I live and can awaken m-my power safely?” I yelled.
