The Werewolf King's Bride Chapter 10: Perfect

(From Blue's Perspective)

As soon as he left, he seed to have taken the warmth with him, the sa warmth he had brought with him before. The place felt emptier now.

I let out a sigh and got rid of the too-comfortable satin nightgown.

In my mind, I thought about all the things I read about early nightgowns. I read about a lot of things and I rembered everything. This was the problem I had been facing since my childhood. If I read sothing attentively, I could rember it line by line, word by word. It would seem like a cool thing, but it was frustrating for . First of all, because no one listened to .

Then whenever I thought about sothing or ca across sothing I knew about, these lines would keep flooding in my mind. It was getting harder every passing day not to get tired of myself for this.

I sat in the tub, trying not to think about anything too much for fear of those lines reappearing. I did not want to think about anything anymore. All I wanted and needed was to relax, sothing I had not done in the last fourteen years.

But I still tried to relax by putting all of my weight in the bathtub, and filling it with hot water. Although the hot water made feel warm, it did not feel as safe as Detrius's warmth.

I was definitely going insane over him. I told myself over and over that he was a stranger. However, it did not work. To my horror, my mind kept drooling over the stranger, who was also handso and sinful.

I looked down at my body, which was completely scar-free now. No matter how many tis I looked down at myself, I was always surprised to see it without a bruise and feel no pain.

After a while of sitting there, I was finally able to relax and calm down. My limbs felt like they were in heaven, and my mind was also at ease. My lips automatically curved into a smile.

Even though there was a lot of confusion and uncertainty, I was able to relax. I closed my eyes and let the warm water whisk away to another world.

I had no idea what had happened. The sound of the door opening startled awake, and my heart began to race.

I had fallen asleep in the bathtub.

"Don't tell you fell asleep in the bathtub," he said.

I nodded guiltily even though I was not sure if it was my fault. The pleasure and relaxation were too much to handle.

"Dear lord, Blue. You'll catch a cold for sure," he said and started to co closer.

"No, no, no," I said panicking. "Don't co here. I'm... naked."

"Oh, right," he said, realization hitting. "Get out of the water quickly. I'll co back after five minutes."

I nodded, and he walked away. He appeared to be concerned about . Was it because he genuinely cared about ? I was not sure. Even though the answer was obvious, I was hesitant to accept it.

As I stepped out of the bathtub, I wrapped myself in a towel. I felt a bit cold suddenly. I stood in front of the mirror, observing myself. I looked different now with all those bruises gone and without a frown on my face.

I kind of looked... alright. I wanted to continue observing myself, but then his words ca back to . He said he was going to co back in five minutes. I did not want him to see naked.

I went over to the closet and opened it, only to be greeted by a slew of gorgeous gowns. But the only problem was that they were not the type of clothes I wore. They were all gowns, expensive and stunning gowns that could take anyone's breath away.

I was curious if I had to wear these here. I was taken aback by the thought. How was I supposed to walk in these long, heavy dresses? Would I look weird?

A knock ca on the door and I looked back, panicking. "Are you done, Blue?" his deep voice ca through.

I was glad that he did not just walk in. I would not even be able to tell him off as I was at his place, he was not in my place. At least, the thought of him being respectful made feel relieved.

"No," I replied. "Um, Detrius?"

"Yes?"

"Am I supposed to wear one of these dresses?" I asked hesitantly.

"Yes. Don't you like them? I can get other dresses if you want."

"No, I like them. I'll be out in five minutes."

"Okay. I'm waiting."

I wore a light blue dress that reached my knees. The front of the dress was adorned with cap sleeves and pearls. It looked adorable, but I was not sure if it would look the sa when I would wear it.

The appearance was not the primary reason I chose it. It was the only dress that felt light on my body, so I went with it.

I wore it, taking care not to tear any part of it. I did not want to cause a scandal. The zipper was a bit hard to reach, but I managed eventually. I had no intention of calling him for this. It would be strange and embarrassing.

As soon as I put it on, I realized I was correct about its comfort. The fabric did not itch, and because it was lightweight, it made feel comfortable.

I combed my wet hair quickly. I looked for a hairdryer but quickly realized that I would not be able to find one here. If I was right, this world was not as developed as my world. There was not even electricity or anything like that. It was like they were ancient like the tis of kings and queens.

There were so costics on the dressing table. But I did not use them. Not because I did not want to, but because I was not sure if they were the sa as in my world. What if I used them wrongly?

"Blue?"

"I'm done," I declared, checking myself in the mirror to ensure I did not look like a frog. Hopefully, I did not. I looked approachable, which was enough for .

I opened the door and found him standing there. He was talking to one of the guards, but the mont I ca out, he tilted his head towards and his black eyes t mine.

I gasped quietly as a wave of chill rushed through my veins as he stared at . For so ti, his gaze did not move mine. Then he started to look up and down at . I felt uncomfortable, especially with the guards observing everything. I wanted to bury my face in the pillows knowing perfectly that they had turned into the shade of a ripe strawberry.

"Do I look okay?" I asked.

"You look... perfect," he said and my cheeks heated up more than it felt like they could burn anything down.

I smiled and he offered his arm. I hesitantly placed my fingers through his arm, feeling too timid.

"They are waiting for you in the dining room," he said.

"Your family?" I asked even though I knew the answer myself.

"Yes. They are looking forward to eting you."

"Are you sure I look okay?"

"Just relax. You look amazing," he said making my heart beat faster.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, Blue. They will love you."

"I hope so. So it is true that you're marrying ?"

"You have asked this a lot. My answer is always going to be the sa, Blue. Yes, I'm going to marry you," he replied and I kept my gaze forwards as we reached the stairwell. Everything was perfect here, but his words... they were_ everything to make things perfect.
