Chapter 526: The Woman At His Side (Ch.527)
’I approve wholeheartedly.’ Neveah’s wolf consented almost imdiately, without even giving the idea a single mont ot thought.
And her words were said with such insistence and absoluteness that her voice rang through Neveah’s already aching skull from the aftereffects of Devirld’s power,
It added to the sharp pangs of pain spreading through Neveah’s head, making Neveah even more restless and overwheld.
Neveah shook her head slightly, in an attempt to shake off her wolf’s influence on her mind.
’Veah, why exactly are you hesitating? Don’t you dare shut
out!’ Neveah’s wolf hissed, sensing Neveah’s intentions before Neveah had even realised them herself.
Neveah lifted her mind block at that exact mont, shutting her wolf off so she did not say anything more and a asure of silence was restored to Neveah’s mind.
Just a asure of it, Neveah’s thoughts were still a large enough ss even without her wolf’s influence.
King Jian’s proposal, what he called the third option sounded like a very terrifying experint to Neveah.
Of course, there was a part of Neveah that did not want to think beyond the fact that the two n who ant the world to her were willing to be by her side.
But Neveah was never one to jump headfirst into anything, she had learnt the hard way to always consider the possible repercussions of her every action and every choice.
It was easy for King Jian to overlook all other considerations, he was King, he could always do as he pleased and no one dared question him.
It was easy for Xenon to not have second thoughts, Xenon was one who only ever did as he pleased, when had he cared for backlash?
If no one else would think about the fact that this two n were not ordinary n but the two greatest pillars of the Asvarian Stronghold, how could Neveah not?
’Putting my heart out there for one is daunting enough, but two? And what would this an for the stronghold? Was this a solution or signing up for more trouble?’ Neveah thought in dismay.
"Veah... " Xenon began to say but Neveah cut him off before he could complete whatever he had to say.
These two n were so convincing, impossible to resist, Neveah could not even think clearly anymore with her thoughts and emotions moving faster than she was capable of comprehending.
"I... this is... just a lot for
to take in right now, I’m sorry." Neveah stuttered out,
Neveah was on her feet in the next mont and hurried away, not waiting to hear whatever else they had to say.
Her heart was beating at a very rapid rate and Neveah needed a mont away to catch her breath before she blacked out.
Neveah did not dare et Xenon’s gaze as she hurried past him and back through the forest to retrieve her horse.
Neveah could feel her wolf’s presence in the back of her mind, slamming into her mind block and demanding release.
Neveah knew better, if she let her wolf out at this point, her wolf would force her to retrace her steps even if it ant seizing control from Neveah.
It took Neveah a short while to get to where she had left her horse and Neveah was glad for the fact that neither Xenon nor King Jian had followed her.
The mont Neveah sucked in a deep breath, her resistance weakened and her wolf slamd through her mind block, sending a sharp ache through Neveah’s skull.
Neveah lifted a hand to cradle her head, a quiet groan of pain escaping her.
’What exactly do you think you are doing? What happened to ’running away’ is not your forte?’ Neveah’s wolf confronted when Neveah finally gave in to her completely.
"Do I not get a mont to think away from them? I cannot even be sure if I am thinking this way because I want to or because they have gotten so deep into my head..." Neveah murmured with another quiet groan of pain.
’You know as well as I do Neveah that you are already completely entrapped in whatever web they have spun...do not delude yourself.’ Neveah’s wolf called her out.
Neveah bit down on her lip, she could not deny that every fiber of her being was demanding for her to go right back in the way she had co and tell them that she would not have it any other way.
That she would cherish both their hearts for the rest of her existence and would not fail their love, and that was precisely why Neveah was doing the exact opposite.
’Whenever things seem to be going so smoothly for us, sothing happens not long after, reminding us that the Creator never shows us his rcy.’
’Look what happened with narx, how invested did we get? What was the result of it all?’ Neveah reminded her wolf in a blank tone.
’The mont we marked Xenon, we made the choice to let go of the darkness of our past and give happiness another try.’ Neveah’s wolf countered.
"We?!" Neveah hissed.
Neveah could not believe her wolf was roping her into a decision she had made all on her own, completely independent of Neveah’s opinion or thoughts towards the matter.
"We?! Did you say a word to
before you did what you did? I think you ant, You...you marked Xenon without my consent." Neveah reminded her wolf.
’And what?! I only did what you wanted to do but was too cowardly to actually make the move. In the process, I saved him... for good!’ Neveah’s wolf defended her actions.
Neveah sucked in a deep breath, lifting a hand to rub her temples.
"Forgive , I spoke out of turn...as much of a radical as you can be, we are of one mind..." Neveah apologized quietly.
"I just...we are happy here, are we not? King Jian’s place... Xenon’s place, is Dragon Keep. What becos of the life we have built here? Are we truly to return...to a dragon keep once again?" Neveah asked the question that truly weighed on her heart.
Neveah’s wolf was quiet this ti, she had no words to counter Neveah’s statent.
Dragon Keep was the Dragon King’s place...
What more could be said of the woman at the side of the Dragon King?
