(From Blue's Perspective)
Soone was watching . Us. Or, just , perhaps. But soone was out there for sure with their eyes on this place.
"You okay?" Dem asked, placing his hand on top of mine.
"Yeah, fine," I mumbled.
"Tell if sothing is wrong," he insisted.
"I don't know… I feel like soone is watching ," I said.
"Is it because of the lissa incident?" Dion asked. "I also feel rather unsettled."
"Just because of that?" Demian scoffed.
We were having tea in the garden. Bree was hunting rabbits in the forest. I hated it. But she would not listen to .
None of my children could shapeshift. It was because they had black mana in them. Besides, they were more human than werewolves. Sure, they had extraordinary hearing and sight. But the most important thing about werewolves was that they could shapeshift which my children could not. Bree always sighed that it was just a sha that she could not turn into a wolf.
"You don't have to experience shit on full moons," Dem said. "I think it's a good thing that you are more of a human."
"I can't even find a mate since I'm not really much of a werewolf. How can I experience that?" Bree said. "It's a sha, honestly."
"It's not. You literally go crazy," I said. "Not that I would have minded to have children who could turn into wolves. You could carry on your back."
"You are heavy, Mummy."
"Am I?" I asked Dem who shook his head.
"She is just weak."
Dem squeezed my hand a little. It brought out of my thoughts.
"Hey," he said. "I checked. There is no one near."
I had not even noticed when he got up to check and when he ca back.
"We can go inside if you want to," Dion said.
"Yeah. We should do that," Dem said. "Co on."
The maids arranged for us to sit in a living room. I felt safer there. And way more comfortable. I liked the outside, but I hated to be watched. Even the feeling of being watched by anyone other than Dem was disturbing. Sotis Demian did that from his window and it was uncomfortable, to be honest.
I always felt like I was doing sothing I should not even though that was not the case.
"Where did you get this cake? It's good," Demian comnted. He was stuffing himself with two large pieces of red velvet cakes. They were Luc's favorite.
"From Lily's bakery. She used to be my maid," I said.
"You loaned her so money, didn't you?" Dem asked.
I nodded. "She once made a cake and it was so good, so I joked if she planned on opening a bakery. She said she wanted to, but didn't have the money. Then I loaned her so. She gave back all the money soon enough."
"You are too kind, Mum. That's why people take advantage of you," Demian said.
"What do you an? Who took advantage of ?" I asked.
Demian chuckled, but did not say anything. But I was pretty sure his eyes darted once toward his father.
"Don't say such things!" Dem said angrily. "Your Mum might be kind but not weak."
I gently touched Dem's hand. I never told him off in front of the kids. They would think less of him then. I just signaled him to tone it down.
Once Dem slapped Demian over sothing he said. I hated it, but then I thought that perhaps it had been necessary. Dem never raised his hand on our kids if they did not do sothing bad. Even then, not all the ti, because I was the one who talked to them whenever they did sothing wrong. It had been just one ti that he did that.
Demian never said sothing like that again, so I supposed it was an improvent.
Or, was it?
We talked about regular normal things. Dem told Dion that he did a good job in the last mission. Demian acted nonchalant when I said the report he made was very good, but I could tell he was proud.
"You know, Mum, I am planning to go sowhere," Demian said after a while.
"Where?" I asked. Dion did not look surprised.
"I want to visit so mountains and forests," he said.
"I don't believe it," Dem said. "You are too lazy for that."
"I was kidding. I want to go with Uncle Luc," Demian said.
"Where?" I turned to my husband. "Are you sending Luc sowhere?" Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire
"Luc said he wants to take Ruby to Maryland island."
"I asked Uncle if I could co and he said yes," Demian said.
"Seriously, Demian? Luc might just want to have so alone ti with Ruby," I said.
"They have plenty of alone ti in the magic tower if all they want to do is…"
"Demian!"
"Relax, Mum. I'm old enough to know what couples do," Demian said.
"That's not the point, Demian. The point is I don't think it's right," I said. "Why don't you go sowhere else?"
"With who?"
"It's not like you need soone to babysit you," Dem said. "You are not a baby, Demian."
"No. I want to go with Uncle and Aunt," Demian said stubbornly.
Demian would not be swayed. I sent a letter to Ruby and Luc to apologize for my son's careless behavior, who said they did not mind at all.
Well, if Luc and Ruby did not take him, Demian (the stubborn brat he was) would have followed them anyway.
For so reason, I did not feel well about this arrangent. It was not like I did not trust Ruby and Luc with my son. Besides, Demian was strong enough to protect himself if sothing ca up. That was not the cause of my worries.
Sothing was nagging at my mind. I kept thinking that sothing was wrong. My subconsciousness was yelling at that sothing was about to happen.
They would be five days later. I tried so much to stop Demian. I truly tried. I kept saying I would give him more work and would even let him go on a mission with Dion.
But in the end, nothing could move him. And the day of their departure arrived.
