The Werewolf King's Bride

(From Blue's Perspective)

'I don't want you to stop loving me ever. Love me. Obsess over me. I will do the same. I cannot accept any less love than as much as you promised to give me a long time ago. I want more, Dem.

I want more love.'

"If you take back your words… If you stop loving me," I said, tears falling from my eyes endlessly, "I will fucking kill you!"

He smiled. Oh, how beautiful his smile was! I had missed it so much. I had missed it all. He placed my hand on his chest.

"You can kill me. If I ever don't say I love you for a whole day, if I don't kiss you at least once a day, if I stop giving you attention, if you ever feel like I am loving you even a little less than the day before, go ahead, my love. You should just go ahead a kill me in the most crucial way possible."

"I am serious!" I warned.

"I am not joking either," he said. "I just think you will get tired of my love because trust me, I will only give and keep giving you more, even if you don't ask for it. It doesn't look like I have the power to lock you up, but at least, I can give you so much love that your standard in men will turn so high that other guys will never be enough."

I chuckled through my tears. "You might do that, darling, as an eternity is waiting for us."

He stared at me, not quite getting what I was saying. "… It is not just a figure of speaking, is it?"

I shook my head. "I have made you my mate," I said. "Your marking was not enough. After my power was awakened, it was nothing much. I needed to mark you too. Azure said we could not have our mates, so I just made one.

I made you my mate. I marked you and now… Well, now, you must be with me, only me."

He was mine. Mine only.

"My poison will not have any effect on you anymore. Dion… He also has my blood, so it won't affect him as well," I said. "But I need to be careful from now on. I… Back there, poison emitted from my body and killed a lot of dark mages. What if I just get so angry that it happens again? Nothing will happen to you, or Dion… But what about others?

I might end up killing the ones I care about and some innocent people…"

"Then, we just have to make sure you are never angry," he said.

"Why are you so hopeful all of a sudden?"

He laughed. "All those times, Blue, when I was lying there, I could hear everything but was not able to do anything. When you talked to me, I knew what was going on. I could hear you. But I could do nothing more. I got lonely, I was afraid when you did not come.

I thought you left me. That you would never come back."

"But you did," he continued. "You told me you love me again and again. I needed that. My love, I cannot bear to part from you. If it is hope I need, then I will be hopeful. I just… don't want to be away from you again."

"… I always imagined what I would do when you would wake up. I tried to be hopeful all the time," I said and chuckled. "But now that you are up, all I want to do is hug you and rest."

The whole night, we lay down together, our son between us as we talked. I dozed off at some point, then woke up again. He was still awake and talked to me once again. It happened a couple of times and every time I woke up, he was awake and there.

When I asked him why he was not sleeping, he just shook his head.

"I am afraid if I close my eyes, I will find out it had been a dream only and that I am still stuck in the void, the darkness," he said. "I don't want to go back there. Not again. Never again."

We returned to the palace the very next day. I had been weak, but I needed to be there. So did Dem. I was confined to bed for at least one month. My recovery was not slow, but there was a need for a lot of recovery to do. It would take time.

I had explained most parts to Evan, Luc, Ruby, Perita, Calix, and Cyan. Perita enjoyed fighting, so even though she lost her left pinky finger, she did not seem to mind.

"It's just a reminder that I have more to learn," she just shrugged when I asked.

Dem needed rest too as he had just woken up from the coma. But he still had to work. He made our bedroom his office for the time being, so he could lie down once in a while and take some rest. He did not want to as he thought it would disturb me, but I insisted.

Doctor Dimitri was making medicine for us and also checking up on Dion every once in a while. Our family now depended greatly on him and he liked having more work to do.

The Duke and Iris were helping greatly. Most people did not know Dem had been in a coma. They only knew he had been injured greatly. Obviously, people did not need to know how I had poisoned my own husband unknowingly. Read latest stories on My Virtual Library Empire

"You managed all of this alone with this little experience?" Dem asked in surprise, looking through the documents.

"I am a natural, I suppose," I said as I fed Dion. Dion needed to be fed every three hours a day.

"This is really extraordinary," he said.

"Don't praise me too much. I might get arrogant."

"Well, there is a rumor that the Queen is a really arrogant woman. The rebels say so," he chuckled.

"You won't believe how I had been…," I sighed. "I even cut a woman into pieces in front of everyone."

"You would never do it for no reason. However, I don't mind even if you do."

"She tried to kill me."

"There you go. What's wrong with killing someone in the process of saving your own life?"

"I could have done without killing her. I just… wanted to frighten others, I suppose."

"You showed enough mercy. You did not kill that damn traitor either."

"He is Flint, Dem… I can't… I know he betrayed us, but…"

"It's all because I had not been there. If I was near, I could have read his damn mind."

"He was not there when you went to the mansion…"

"He left on purpose at that time."

"I know," I said. I stroked Dion's chubby cheeks gently. Whenever I looked at my son, I felt all of this was worth it.

"We just need to make sure we keep the right people around. Taste what betrayal feels like. And make sure to taste it thoroughly. So, you will never want to feel it again and do everything to prevent it."
