(From Blue's Perspective)
A long silence and after that a howler of laughter followed. Luc was laughing like he had never laughed before. It seed if he could roll on the floor, he would.
"... Are you kidding ? Tell you're joking," Luc said while shaking with laughter.
"I'm not," I said normally. "He really talks a lot. Even last night, we talked so much that we forgot to eat."
"What do you two even talk about? That guy is pretty boring when it cos to chatting," he shrugged.
Luc was completely wrong about this. Detrius was not boring at all and when I was with him, I felt completed. Boring was the last thing I would feel.
"We talk about everything and so personal matters," I said. I had no wish to tell them what we talked about. After all, those were the monts I would like to treasure in the deepest pit of my heart.
"Now if I think about the things overall, it's weird. Your husband is being weird. No, he is married now and it's weird. And he is different with you, it's even weirder," Luc sighed. "I just wish to live comfortably right now. Do co visit a lot, Blue.
I'm bored and tired with all the work."
"Of course, I will. I'm bored as well. Detrius said he will get a sword, so until then..."
"A sword? Why?" Luc asked, surprised.
"Uh, well, I liked his blade. So he told that I should have a sword myself. He is going to get a teacher as well. Since he is busy, he can't teach himself," I said.
"... I don't even know what to say. Anyway, congratulations for having a great married life," Luc said.
"You know what? You'll find your mate soon too," I said.
"Who wants to find a mate? I just want to live comfortably and die without regrets," Luc said.
"But you told that you haven't found your mate yet and you're pretty old though I don't agree. So I thought..."
"No, I said that only because everyone says that. I actually don't want a mate," Luc said.
"That's not possible," Ezekiel said.
"I know! I know that's not possible! Why do you have to remind that?" Luc shouted. "Co to think of it, you don't have a mate as well. How old are you again?"
"Twenty," Ezekiel muttered.
"Huh? You're pretty young. You'll see the trouble of having a mate in two or three years. You must be eager to find your mate. You all are the sa after all. Werewolves go wild about having a mate," Luc said while patting Ezekiel on the shoulder who shoved his hand away.
"I... I don't want a mate," Ezekiel mumbled.
"What did you say? I didn't quite catch it," Luc said, scratching his ear as if he was fixing his hearing.
"Nothing," Ezekiel said in his usual cold tone. But I could swear I heard it right- he said he did not want a mate.
"Anyway, it's been quite long. I should leave now," I said. "It was a great ti though. I'll co again."
"Make sure you do. But don't bring your husband here. He is annoying," Luc said.
I just laughed. It felt good to find soone other than Detrius to talk freely. I was grinning like a fool unintentionally.
'Ugh, I miss my dear husband! I miss him a lot! I need to see his handso face to calm down!'
It was indeed a good decision to co to Luc. Because of him, I found out a lot about Detrius and how he was. There were so questions I had for him though...
What exactly happened seven years ago? What happened to Evelyn? Where was she lost? Why did he talk about after Evelyn was found? Was there any connection between all of these? Was it because of Evelyn that he t for the first ti?
I did not rember much of when I was eleven. It was a long ti ago after all. I could rember almost everything I read, but not the things that happened to in my life. I needed an answer.
But I would not ask him. He told himself that when the right ti would co, he would tell how he t for the first ti and what made him want as his mate. If I said I was not curious, that would be the biggest lie ever. Because I was dying to know the truth, yet I was restraining myself from asking him.
'Wow, my self-restraint is sickening.'
I t the beta on my way and he told that Detrius was in his study. I did not even know why I was missing him this much all of a sudden. I had seen him right before coming here. But why was I feeling like I needed to see him right away? Was it because of what Luc told ?
I did not know, nor did I want to know. All I knew was that I wanted to be with him. I wanted to feel his warmth and hug him. It was a normal thing for a married woman to feel for her husband, right?
"Your Highness, are you going back to your chamber?" Ezekiel asked.
"No," I said. "I'm going to my husband."
"Did he call for you?"
"No."
"Then why?" he muttered.
"Because I want to see him as soon as possible. I suddenly miss him," I replied. I did not know why I was getting impatient, but for so reason, I did not like the way Ezekiel behaved sotis. Especially when it ca to Detrius, he always behaved differently. I did not like it at all. Now I felt like seeing Detrius even more.
Just one mont- I would be with him in no ti.
"I wish to enter alone," I said to him as we reached Detrius's study.
"... Yes, Your Highness," Ezekiel bowed.
'I'm oddly excited.'
