The Werewolf King's Bride Chapter 69: Theory

(From Detrius's Perspective)

She had been staring at as I was eating. It was not uncomfortable, but the way she was calling cute was frustrating. Why was she calling cute? Was I not cool? Could she not call cool or handso? Anything was fine but why cute?

I did not rember doing anything so she could call cute. Precisely saying, cute and I were two opposite things. There was no way anyone could call cute. And I was sure that no one would call that except the wife of mine.

She had a different view of things. She even called my blade cute. It was shocking. It was scary even for a knight.

Because of her, I had to sit on the bed to eat just so she could take a good look at my face while I ate.

"You're cute," she said. "But you take quite a lot of food in your mouth at once. How can you chew?"

"I take normal proportion. It's just you who takes too less," I said.

"It's just habit."

"Habit?"

"I an, back at my old ho, I could not have much food to eat. So I used to take less food in my mouth so it would take longer to finish. It felt like eating too much, you see," she said with a smile.

'Don't smile saying sothing like this. It's not okay at all.'

"So tomorrow you're going to have tea with Aunt, right?" I asked, trying to change the subject. I did not want to see her like that anymore. It was depressing. And there was a huge chance that I might get angry suddenly. I did not want to scare her off.

"Huh? Yeah, that is what planned," she said, "unless she changes the ti again. By the way, did you try to find out if she was actually sick?"

"I did. I heard that she was in her room all the ti though she usually spends most of the ti shopping or gossiping with other noblewon. I heard there is even a group of noblewon who do nothing but gossip about literally everything. But she might have pretended to be sick. There is a chance. So, we got to be careful," I said.

"You're right," she said.

I had finished eating. I went to wash up. She seed busy thinking about sothing. It seed sothing serious.

Even after I ca back, I found her the way she was when I left. She seed to be deep in thought. For so reason, I did not want to disturb her.

"Dem?" she called out suddenly.

"Yes?"

"The dream I had today- it was about a strange incident," she said. "And I feel like it has sothing to do with you."

"What do you an?" I asked and sat on the bed beside her.

She snuggled close to mine and wrapped both of us in the blanket. She rested her head on my shoulder and I placed my arm around her. Heat was radiating from her and her seductive scent filled my nostrils.

'Control- I gotta control.'

"Seven years ago..."

I almost coughed out loud. Did she figure everything out? If that was the case, then it was pretty fast.

"... one day, I treated a wolf. It was a long ti ago, but I rember the wolf's color. It was reddish and very pretty. I stayed with it for a long ti. Then at night, I fell asleep beside it in the forest.

I had covered it in a blanket that ti. But when I woke up, the blanket was around . Perhaps I was sleeping so deeply that I did not notice when the wolf left or soone took the wolf," she said. "And you said you saw for the first ti seven years ago, right? Luc told that sothing happened to Evelyn seven years ago. She was missing.

Then when she ca back, she was not okay. And no one knew what exactly happened to her."

I did not even know what to tell her. To think she would figure out this quickly and all by herself was impressive. But I wanted to tell her myself. I thought she would not like the fact that I knew about her that long ago, yet did not talk to her that ti. So, I was taking my ti to prepare myself. But it seed she already almost figured it out.

It was all because of that punk Luc...

"I have a theory about it."

"What is it?" I asked.

"I think the wolf was Evelyn."

*cough

"Are you alright?" she asked worriedly.

"I'm fine. Keep going."

"As I said, I think the wolf was Evelyn though I don't have any idea how she ended up there. I an, you told that only Alphas can do so. But I have a theory about it too," she said. "Seven years ago, you were seventeen. You were not the Alpha then, right?"

"I wasn't."

"Then that ans, your father was alive back then. And as both of you have your father's blood aka the previous Alpha's blood running in yourselves. It ans any of you could be the Alpha. But as Evelyn likes traveling and she would do anything to just travel, perhaps she gave up the throne herself.

But as back then, the Alpha was not decided and both of you had Alpha blood inside you, Evelyn could enter the other world though I don't know why she would do that. It can be that she was curious as she likes to visit different places. So perhaps she got hit by a car or sothing, I don't know. Let's just say she got injured sohow and then I found her as I was a regular in that path.

And the person who took her was you."

"How are you so sure?" I asked.

"As I said, it's just a theory. And I have a feeling that I'm not wrong."
