While still in bed, Winston held my hand tightly. He kneeled on the side of the bed, and he gently touched his forehead with my hand. I could feel his slight trembling, as if he looked really relieved that I had regained consciousness.
He is my love, right?
Why is he acting like this?
I slowly regained my vision, and finally I could clearly see the most handsome man I've known.
But a beard?
My darling grows a beard!
Wait, is growing a beard part of Lycan's ability?
He has a bushy beard that looks fluffy like his fur when he is in his wolf form!
Aside from his soft gazes and gentle gestures, the facial hair that makes him more manly caused me to feel more bemused.
Am I being thrown into some sort of alternate universe?
Is this person really my love? My Winston?
Yes, my heart raced from the warmth I could feel from the hand that was holding me, but I couldn't help but ask, "Why are you speaking so dearly to me?"
His golden brown eyes, which I last remembered were cold and distant, looked at me with concern.
What's with the odd gentleness?
Where are the eyes that could kill me at any moment?
But this is not bad either.
His unfathomable, golden brown eyes contrasted exceptionally with his light toned face and manly, bushy beard. His eyes were so deep and expressive that you could get lost if you stared long enough.
If before I could die with his cold and piercing gazes, now I feel like I am being drugged. I feel the ecstasy of his gentleness and addictive touch of warmth.
"What?" I asked again, since he didn't respond to my question. He just looked at me with trembling eyes, and he bit his lower lip after opening and closing his mouth without letting out any words from it.
What is he hesitating about?
What happened after I collapsed?
Wasn't he the one who violated my body?
Did I miss something?
I was musing on my current situation while staring at Winston's somewhat different face, but suddenly someone tugged on my clothes, which successfully got my attention.
"Mama, are you still sick?"
I frowned as this little kid that looked like a four-year-old kid kept bothering me since a while ago. The kid is a Healer. He can't call me "mama" in front of Winston, or else he will misunderstand that I had a child from somewhere else. There is no other man I will sleep with! Only with Winston!
"Ah, my wife, this is our child. I named him William."
Winston introduced the child. He picked him up and let the child hold my left hand, too.
Everything he does and says confuses me.
First, he acts gentle and concerned; next, he calls me wife; and lastly, suddenly, we have a child?
How can we even have a child if we only did it recently?
My belly is flat as usual!
How does he think Healer's pregnancy happens? Is he part of the 10% of the world's population who is clueless about sex education?
My Winston, it's cute, but we can't have a child this instant!
"Mama!"
I reflexively moved away from the child, which caused him to ask, "Mama doesn't like William?" The kid is also quite cute, but sorry, little William, I am not your mother.
Winston noticed I was uncomfortable around the child, so he picked him up again and patted him, comforting the child while gently saying, "Mama is still sick. She will like you."
I clasped my chest because of the adorable side Winston showed me. I hope he could take care of my child like that—such husband material!
Meanwhile, the people who are also present in the room that I almost forgot existed come rushing to me to check what's wrong with me because I was clasping my chest.
Fools! This is just how much Winston's attractiveness affects my heart; it can't help but beat so fast just watching him!
Maybe I almost died while we mated because of how overpowering his body is. Although I didn't fully enjoy his body that night because of our environment and set up, I am still blessed to have received his greatness.
I still don't know why you call me wife, but please, we can now do what my real bed fantasies are! Now that I am clean and looking beautiful again, you can violate my body again! You can fall for me too!
"She just regained her consciousness; let her recover first," an old man in a white robe said. Maybe he's a Lycan doctor. Anyway, is he telling Winston to leave?
No! What if he comes back after a long time? I haven't cleared my name yet!
I stretched my arms up and yelled, "Don't leave!"
Winston passed the child to the doctor and gently said, "Everyone leave; I'll take care of my wife."
He then patted William's head before everyone left me and Winston alone in the room.
“What are you doing?” he asked.
I pulled every wire and tube connected to me because it was annoying me, and Winston tried to stop me, but I already pulled everything. He looked troubled, hesitating whether he should leave me and call back the doctor or stay with me.
I sat up and looked at him seriously.
I inquired, "Please tell me what's going on,"
Only Winston could tell me what really happened and why he was acting strangely.
"You can't remember?"
"I do. But why are you calling me your wife? Why are you talking to me gently? Who is that child calling me mama?"
Winston held both my hands, and I could feel his cold hands trembling. I hope he stops this confusing behavior and explains everything to me now. How long did I lose consciousness because everything seemed strange?
But instead of an explanation, I heard him apologize.
"I'm sorry."
I keep my silence as I wait for him to complete his statement. I can't keep myself from being confused all the time.
"I'm sorry for all the vicious things I did to you three years ago."
My eyes instantly grow wider as I repeat his words.
"T-three years ago?"
"Yes, it's been three years. I'm sorry."
"No! Stop apologizing! Tell me what happened!" I exclaimed. Due to my shock, I even dared to touch his cheeks, pressing my palms on his soft and bushy beard.
Winston didn't move my hands off him; instead, he moved my right hand, and his lips gently touched my palm. I flinched, and I felt electrified by the touch of his lips.
This is one part I didn't enjoy when he violated my body. That time, he just literally inserted his into mine and pounded me. He didn't caress or kiss me. He just put his thing with the goal of simply erasing my powers. I can't even consider that sex. I feel like what he did was like injecting his fluid into me, and it's done.
If, by chance, we can mate again, I hope he can show me what real sex is. There is a reason sex is called making love; I want to feel his love in bed.
I was lost in my own reverie again. I shook my head to wake up and looked at him sternly, hoping he would tell me what really had happened. There is no way he will suddenly become soft toward me after falling into a deep slumber. I am not the sleeping beauty!
"I made a mistake. I hurt you and forced you to mate."
I rolled my eyes internally, as I never wanted to consider what had happened as our mating.
"Did you find out that I was not lying to you?"
"Yes, because of what I did, you lost your power.”
“O-okay?”
I hesitated whether to correct him or not, but for now I need to know more about my situation before I can tell him I never lost my powers.
“William is really our child; he is two years old now," he continued.
"He's two? He looks four."
"He is healthy and was born between Lycan and Healer, so his body is a bit different."
"Ah, really?"
I clenched my hands and trembled in excitement. I bit my lower lip to hide the smile on my face. No wonder William looks so adorable; he has Winston's genes!
I am no longer frustrated about our blunt sex; at least it has beautiful fruit!
Meanwhile, Winston thought I was shaking in fury and disgust at what had happened, so he sat on the bed and massaged my hands as he said, "He is a good child. Don't hate him."
"No, I-."
I was about to tell him that I was actually glad about it, but his lips suddenly touched mine. I instantly froze, and all I could do was watch his lips draw a gentle smile after giving me a peck. He didn't move away from me and talked too close to my face. I could even feel his breath!
What's going on?
His eyes were looking at me intimately, which caused my mind to be more chaotic and my heart to hammer into my chest.
He wrapped his arms around me as he whispered, "Don't hate me, too. I am your husband."
"Don’t hate me too. I am your husband." he whispered. The warmth of his breath sent shivers up and down my spine. His words hit me like blows to the stomach, each one robbing me of breath. Did the gods pity my poor, loving heart? Did the gods change the way the world spins so I could experience this gentle and alluring side of Winston? Or is it only my mind that’s playing tricks on me? Will he really become my husband? Since this was way too shocking for me, I failed to respond to Winston’s words. He smiled gently again before he tucked me in bed. He said, "Recover your health first. We can slowly catch up to each other." He patted me as if he were putting me to sleep, but I opened my eyes wider as I refused to wake up from this good dream. I am fine even though Winston was cold and rough, but experiencing this gentle side of him is bliss. "Is this making you uncomfortable?" he asked. "No. I slept for too long, I don’t need to sleep anymore." I sternly said, but Winston's res
It already drains my energy just preparing to go out, but I never regret anything that happened a while ago. After the rollercoaster of my emotions, Winston finally took me out to walk around his mansion inside Lycan territory. It's a place where I had the hardest time sneaking in. Lycan has a really good sense of smell; even if I change my appearance through disguise, they can always tell that I am not part of their clan. Additionally, everyone here hates the smell of Healers so my nature as a Healer increased my difficulty in blending with them. My dream is slowly getting real, but I feel something is iffy. "Winston . . . Where are we going?" I asked, as I hesitated at first, if I should call him by his name or not. "To the garden." he replied while carefully holding my left arm to support me as I walked. My love is so concerned for my health that we are walking like snails. I would never get bored walking slowly with him, but I feared he would get bored soon. What if he sud
Rowan growled at me as soon as I intentionally called them demon wolves. I acted like I mistook them for those ugly-looking wolves in order to gather the information I needed.Demon wolves are vicious wolves who have a strange eating habit, as they could eat anything as long as it's meat. They were purged a long time ago because of how vicious and violent they are. They were a threat to all races, so everyone agreed to exterminate them. There are only a few rumors that those monsters are still somewhere lurking in the dark, but who cares about them? In recent times, their names only used to scare little kids.I can't believe I'll be using these non-existent monsters to scare a real wolf.It's a good thing that this Lycan uses more of his muscles than his brain.I covered my face because I was still working hard to squeeze tears out of my eyes while the gullible Rowan pulled his claws away from me and defended his clan instead."We are not the carnivorous wolves! The Luca clan has dign
In response to my insistence on stopping Rowans execution, Winston carried me in his arms, and he jumped out of the window to rush over to the plaza.I was unconscious for only three hours, so its still afternoon, and here they are trying to kill someone under the good weather."No! Stop!" I exclaimed as soon as I saw the executioner raising his ax to initiate the execution.Are they living in medieval times? We are in the modern world! Why can't they execute their people in a less brutal way? Do they not know about execution by lethal injection? It's a peaceful way of executing, and it's less messy.Anyway, whatever I was grumbling about about their brutal way of executing their people, I still disagree with Rowan's execution.Rowan even looked like he was near death, even though his neck was still intact. It was only this morning that I saw him in his healthy state, but now his handsome face and his well-built body are covered in blood and bruises.The confidence I saw in him this m
The afternoon sun lit up my room with its warm light. Tiny specks of dust seemed to dance in the shaft of sunlight that slanted through my window.My gaze was on the window, even though the most handsome man was resting in my embrace.Winston fell asleep after whining about me not being allowed to hug anyone else. It was my first time listening to his childish words, as he later shifted his sentence to "Don't hug anyone else but us, your husband and son."I should be glad for the sudden affection I am receiving, yet why did I feel skeptical?You know the feeling. I've dreamed of being close with Winston since I first met him ten years ago. I first tried to get into their clan, but I failed, so I took care of them in the background. got caught, got violated, and surprisingly became his wife. He became gentle and caring. He kisses, hugs, and takes care of me. He even said that he like me. This means I finally succeeded, but why do I feel kind of empty?Why? I am even staying inside thei
Is this deja vu? Why do I keep waking up beside a handsome, half-naked man? Is this my daily routine now? I stared at my gorgeous man sleeping. I'm not sure if this is the day I collapsed or the day after, but what matters is that Winston's abs, intricate figure, and flawless face are once again blessings to my eyes. But wait? Why did I collapse again? I pressed my temples because my healing powers are really taking their time to ease my headache at this moment. I think it's related to my sudden collapse that my power is kind of off right now. "Ah! Right! William!" I jolted up to look for William, which caused Winston to wake up. I was about to run aimlessly in search of William when he stopped me at the door. But seriously, Winston doesn't have to put effort into stopping me because he already froze me in place because he followed me entirely naked. I thought he was half-naked like the first one. Damn! I was curled up next to him like that? I thought I was the only one who ha
I stay in the bath tub, staring at Ains unblinkingly, trying to process what she had just told me through sign language. She said, "Everyone is here. Some are disguised as wolves, some are humans."Who's the "everyone" she's talking about?Her team?What for?Isn't this dangerous?I then form the letter 'L' with my right hand, touch my thumb to my chin, and wiggle the longer 'L' leg up and down as I furrow my brow and ask her, "Who?"Ainspenser responded calmly and slowly signed her response to me. She said, "All the leaders are here."I blinked my eyes multiple times, trying to understand what she meant. Ainspenser is the leader of the human members inside the organization; does that mean my other friends are all here? But why?The confusion is pretty obvious on my face, and I also have to react without sound because the device on Ains will record it, so Ains effortfully detailed everything to me with her sign language.[Three years ago, your power exploded. If you look at the north
"Wow, he sleeps comfortably for someone who caused my heart to go into chaos," I said while playing with my fingers on his long beard.After we bathed together, he went straight to bed without even bothering to put on clothes. I only wrapped him in a blanket because if not, I'd overdose on his sexiness. There's a limit for my heart to take and keep up with how I could freely see his body.I simply watched him sleep, as I don't feel sleepy anymore after the extremely long sleep I got. So all I do is talk to the sleeping Winston and play with his beard while hoping it's his fur instead."Is this why you have such an unkempt beard?"Winston really is a busy man. I don't know what kind of affair his clan has these days, but he looked stressed and exhausted due to his duty as their alpha. He also has to take care of me and William. I guessed maybe his busy schedule caused him to forget to take care of himself."Oh, Sorry." I apologized as Winston suddenly bit my finger that was playing on
