(From Blue's Perspective)
He left dumbfounded, thinking about what he had just told . He was strange. I did not understand why he could not talk a bit more clearly.
One thing about him that surprised a lot was that he could not just read my mind. He always knew what I was talking about, even when I would not make things clear. I wondered if he truly understood that I ant him by the lion.
I was nervous about tonight's event. He was going to introduce to all the werewolves. They were surely going to hate . I was a human, after all. He said that I would not have to do anything, but just be there. I wondered if he truly ant that.
I decided to take his word in this case.
I lie down on the bed, thinking about surviving. Even if I managed to go through tonight's event, there were going to be other things next as well. The day after tomorrow, I was going to marry him right when I would turn eighteen. I had never thought about marrying this early. Honestly, I never thought about marrying as I always had a feeling that soday Father or Draven would kill .
But as it did not happen, and I managed to live, I had to marry him.
Marrying him did not seem like the worst thing that could happen to . He was handso, perfect, and also was good towards . But there was also an intriguing part of him that always frightened . Yet as he did not mistreat , I thought perhaps I could accept him as he was, and then one day, maybe I would understand him and the aning behind his mysterious words.
Max would be jealous of seeing the luxurious things around . I wished he was here, too. But part of wanted to slap him in the face. He could have put an end to our misery, or at least he could try if he had the courage to go to the police. Even when I tried to go to the police, he stopped , saying that it would destroy our lives. As if our lives were not destroyed already!
I heard the door opening. Detrius said he would not be here till evening. I sat up on the bed to see who it was.
I did not expect her to be here. It was Evelyn, Detrius's sister. She was exquisite, just like her mother. She smiled at and ca to sit beside .
"I'm leaving after your wedding. I might not get much ti to chat with you, so I thought that this is a perfect ti. Were you sleeping?" she asked.
"No. I was just lying down," I replied.
"Tired?"
"No," I laughed. "Detrius took on a tour around the castle. Perhaps that's why I'm just a bit fatigued, not so much though."
"He has shown you everything?"
"Kind of. But he did not show the roof. He said he will show that to later," I said.
"Good. Have you been to his study?"
"Yes. It's very beautiful."
"He spends most of his ti there. He likes to be alone, you know."
"He told that. He said I can go there any ti," I said.
"He said that?" she asked as if it was sothing very hard to believe.
"Well, he said that he would like to spend ti with , so if I want to, I can be there."
"That's new. He never lets anyone enter the study room without business. He sotis lets Mother go there, but not always. Especially when he is in a foul mood, everyone stays away from him."
"Oh," I mumbled. "Does he get really angry?"
"When he does, he is really hard to face. But he will not hurt you. You're very precious to him. It's clear in his eyes every ti he looks at you or talks about you."
"He talks about ?" I asked, surprised. Why would he talk about ? There was no reason for soone to talk about .
"He tends to keep things private about him. But he told us about you two months ago. That was when Uncle Victor told him to marry a princess. He refused and said that he had already chosen you as his Queen."
Two months ago? So he was telling the truth. He truly knew for a long ti. But was he keeping an eye on ? How did he even see ? His sister did not seem to know much about this thing, so I decided not to ask her.
"Oh. I didn't know him that ti," I said.
"He said that you t him only yesterday when he brought you here," she said.
"Yes."
"Can I ask you sothing, Blue?"
"Yeah, sure."
"Don't tell him about this," she said.
"Don't worry. I won't," I promised.
"Good then. Well, did he force you to co with him?"
I thought about it for a mont. That ti I had wanted to run away from him. But he knew what I wanted to do. He told that he would take care of , he would not hurt and he also said that I would not be able to get too far away from him. He would perhaps force to co here with him if I tried to run away. But I did not.
I ca here with him willingly. It was not called forced for sure.
"No. I have co here willingly," I replied.
"But why? Why would you co with a stranger?"
I did not know what to tell her this ti. I could not just tell her about my family and the things they did to . I could not tell her that I wanted nothing more than to get away from that family. And for that, if I had to go away with a stranger, I would.
"That's a secret between us," I said. "We would like to keep it this way."
"As you wish. But you can trust and think of as a sister."
"I know, Evelyn. It's just I would like to cherish our secrets," I said with a smile.
"So, have you two... I an, done anything?"
"Done anything?"
"You know, mating."
"No," I said quickly, blushing furiously. "We didn't do it."
"Nothing at all?"
I shook my head, not knowing how to mutter a single word about this. Her question made think about how it would feel like to be in his embrace fully, how it would feel to kiss him. My own thoughts scared . I did not know if I wanted to do it or not, but to my horror, I was actually considering it.
He kissed on the forehead and brushed his lips against my ear, but he never tried to kiss on the lips. But he always ca very close to that I would start to feel self-conscious.
"Anyway, so where are you going?"
"rrick and I are going for traveling. This ti, Ava will co with us too. We'll co back after six months, perhaps and then we will set out again."
"Detrius said you two love traveling."
"We do. We t this way. I was traveling to a waterfall and rrick was there, too. Then we traveled together and you know sparks flew. So here we are now," she said, grinning. "We were very young.
I was eighteen, and he was nineteen. And here we are, after five years, we are still very much in love."
"I hope I get a family like this too."
"Oh, Blue, you have already got a family. I know my brother. You might not believe this, but you are the person he cares about the most, more than anyone else. He will stand up to anyone for you. You might think that as we are his family, he is very close to us. But that's not the case.
If there is a fire and he can only save one person, he will choose you without any kind of hesitation," she said. "Do you know why? Because he wants you. He feels so kind of pull towards you. Wolves are hungry, Blue. And the Alphas are even hungrier.
They get what they want and when they get it, they make sure to take care of it and let no one else co in between the Alpha and his precious thing. My brother might look very frightening and I won't lie, he actually is like that. But to you, he is softer than cotton.
All you have to do is be his only and gain his trust, be with him, and then, he will give the world to you and protect you from whatever cos in the way."
