The Werewolf King’s Bride - Chapter 95

(From Blue’s Perspective)

Dem had already left. I was alone. He would be gone for at least one month. It was a long time. I was already missing him.

“Your Highness, your tea is getting cold,” Ruby said. I liked having tea before going to bed. But since my husband was always impatient, I could hardly have some. Now that I was alone, I decided to have some tea. But my mind was somewhere else. I almost forgot about the tea.

“A month will pass by quickly, Your Highness,” Ruby said sympathetically.

“Yeah,” I muttered. “You can go now. It’s late. I will sleep too.”

It was almost one at night. Because of me, even Ruby was not able to sleep as well. After Ruby left, I tried to sleep for a while. But no matter how much I tried, I could not sleep at all.

‘Dear head, please stop it. Stop thinking for god’s sake.’

Well, nothing happened. I had to get up. It happened because I slept the whole morning till noon. And because of swordsmanship training, I had been tired and slept pretty well. Now there was not even a wink of sleep in my eyes. I was still tired, but I could not sleep.

My body was kind of sore for two reasons as well. I woke up and started walking around the room. The window was open. Dem liked to close them, but I always forced him to keep them open, or I would feel breathless.

There was a blissful silence around. I sat by the window, feeling the cold air against my face. The silence and cold air felt peaceful.

The stars were as beautiful as always shining in the blackish-blue sky. I used to watch the stars back at home, mostly because I liked the color of the night sky. It made me weirdly homesick even when I did not have the right place to call home.

A lot of things happened in a very short time, but it seemed like it had been a long time. Sometimes I felt like I was waiting for this moment.

As I was looking outside the window, I saw a figure on the ground. For some reason, it did not take me a long time to understand who it was.

“What is he doing at this hour?” I muttered to myself. It did not take long for me to know what he was doing. He was pulling a rabbit from the water of the moat and then wrapped it in a towel.

It was hard to properly see anything. I could hardly grasp the situation. But the rabbit looked cute. I had a soft spot for cute things, especially animals. I wanted to touch the rabbit so bad. But going out at this hour was not something I should do.

Even though it was just Ezekiel, I should not. It was not like I did not trust him. But Demetrius did not like it and to be honest, I did not like it as well. I would rather keep my distance. And besides, for some reason, I found Ezekiel quite strange. Perhaps it was just my imagination, but sometimes the way he talked was too mysterious. It was as if he was hiding something. Of course, it was not something big or Dem would surely know.

I sometimes wished I could read minds like Dem. It would be so cool and I would know everything others were thinking about. But Dem said that it was frustrating but useful.

“I wonder if he is the only one possessing this kind of power. He can’t be the only one, can he? And besides, why would he get such a power?” I muttered to myself. Dem said that he never asked anyone about it as they would find out about it. He searched for information in different books, but there was nothing. Perhaps this power was something very rare and forbidden or something like that.

I was so absorbed in thought that I did not notice when Ezekiel noticed me. He was looking straight at me. Now that I noticed him, I could not just ignore him. But what was I supposed to do?

I could not think of anything else, so I just waved at him with a smile. He pondered for a while and then slightly moved his hand which I assumed to be a response.

He waved his hand in a way that was more like telling me to go to sleep. He looked like a rabbit himself with the rabbit in his arms. I nodded and moved away from the window. It was not like I did not want to sleep, I just could not.

“Honestly, I wish I was like those who can get sleepy reading a boring book,” I sighed. If I read a boring book, I would end up memorizing the entire book and then the words would keep flying in my mind. Forget sleep, I would not even be able to sit still.

Suddenly I saw another figure outside. I moved towards the window to take a closer look. Almost no one left the castle at night. That was why I was kind of cautious seeing someone outside. Ezekiel was already gone, but what was she doing here at this hour?

I quickly wore a cloak and ran out of my room. I was trying not to make any noise while at the same time going faster. I was wearing my fluffy black slippers. I forgot to change them, but it did not matter. My never satisfied husband had arranged too many of everything for me, including every type of accessory.

Dem showed me the secret door to leave the castle. We two were the only ones who could open the door. He said that he made Luc cast a spell on it a long time ago so only he could see it. It was a small door and it was at the backside of the castle in a very shabby room. So, no one went there usually. And now that I was his mate, I could open it as well.. All I had to do was push it.
