"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 response will cause my death.
Winston drew a beautiful smile to his handsome face.
Even if I could not completely see his smile because of his beard. His smile was radiant, lighting up my heart with warmth and joy.
I clasped my chest because I was overwhelmed by his glorious smile, yet he thought I was sick again. He held my other hand and looked at me with worry.
"What’s wrong?"
I can’t just say the truth, so I said, "I think I can feel better if I am not in this room."
Yes, I will feel better if there is some fresh air that can cool my body from getting heated because of his face. However, my chest will explode really soon because of Winston's unpredictable moves.
"W-why are you stripping me?" I asked.
I hold on to my underwear as if I were holding on to my life. I have been asleep for three years! Of course it's bushy down there!
"It’s okay. I have been taking care of you. No one touched you other than me."
I am supposed to be weak, so I can’t hold my underwear tighter. I gave up and let him strip me. The heat of embarrassment rushed into my face. I can’t believe that while I was in a coma, Winston personally took care of me. He acted normal seeing my body bare, so does that mean he sees my body every day, every moment he desires?
Did he really just take care of my body, or does he take care of himself too?
T-that’s unexpectedly lewd!
But wait, wait, wait!
Aaaahhh!
Who would want a bushy place?
I crossed my legs as I wanted to hide it, but Winston suddenly pulled me up and carried me on his arms.
"Sir, how much is the rent here? I feel like I can live in your arms!" I asked internally at the same time I was squealing inside my head.
My mind is screaming as I one by one fulfill one of the items on my bucket list!
He kissed me! He smiled at me! He calls me his wife! And now he carries me in his arms.
But my mind screams louder in joy after he puts me in the bath tub and helps me bathe.
Who? Who! Who is the god who made this possible?
Let me know, and I’ll worship you forever!
"I’m sorry. You might be really uncomfortable around me," Winston shared.
It instantly woke me up from being dazed, and I realized that I was making weird faces because I was working hard not to show how happy I am right now.
Let's forget about being rational! I don’t care if he has some sort of motive behind these acts! I can just die for him anyway. Let me just enjoy this moment!
"No. uh. W-why are you bathing me, though?"
"Ah. Since you want to go out, you have to hide your scent."
I immediately raised my arm and smelled my armpit, wondering if I really smelled that bad, and I looked at him confusedly when I didn’t smell any foul smell in me.
"You smell fine. This water will help you hide your healer’s scent."
"Am I not welcome here?"
I asked the most obvious thing in the world. But I only asked that because I thought the Lycans would finally be less hostile towards me after I became his wife; in the end, they were not.
"Not yet. Don’t worry. You’ll be safe with me."
He assured me with his gentle smile before he continued bathing me. His gentle touch really feels new to me, and it really filled my heart with joy.
The warm water that he poured all over my body brought calmness and refreshed my mind.
Every stroke of his hands on my skin brought a tingly feeling to my chest, and I yelped as he gently pressed his palm on my bushy area.
"W-wait!"
"Lycan’s sense of smell is very strong. We can’t leave any area unwashed." he explained while looking at my flushed face. He then picked me up and let me sit on his lap instead, thinking this would make me feel more comfortable.
"W-winston. Th…This.. Ugh!"
I stuttered as I worried that Winston would be the one who got uncomfortable because I was the one who was getting wet down there! I was about to panic even more, but suddenly he put the small bucket on my hands. I was not holding it with strength, as he was actually supporting me and helping me pour the warm water into me.
I was a little disappointed that he didn't continue to touch me, even if I was the one who panicked because of it. I just low-spiritedly washed myself while I was sitting on his lap.
"I’m sorry."
I apologized inadvertently.
Winston’s expression remained bright. He hugged me then and kissed me on the neck.
"It’s okay. I am your husband." he whispered. He then put me down and let me sit on the toilet. I flinched and instantly covered my face with my hands, which was pretty useless since I didn't entirely cover my eyes and still peeked through the gap between my fingers.
"W-what's going?"
"Ah, my clothes got wet."
Without warning, Winston flexed his abs in front of him. It was just his upper body, but it was enough for my mind to go crazy.
Also, I would like to thank the bathroom's lighting, which was so bright that I could clearly see the details of his muscles, his belly button, and his nipples.
Please, oh Lord, don't wake me up with this dream!
This is what I am dreaming of!
Unlike being forced to mate in a dark, smelly place, this thing is much better! It really fills my heart with lewdness! I mean, joy!
My heart, my mind, and my soul felt like they were in chaos as soon as Winston leaned into me and started sniffing me all over.
He then said, "You don't smell anymore. Let's go."
Winston threw his shirt on the floor and carried me in his arms again.
Me, who hasn't returned to the right mind yet, shamelessly replied, "Yes, Daddy."
Winston stopped walking and looked at me blankly. That's when I realized what the embarrassing words I said were.
Oh god! Please dig the ground for me! I'll jump to my grave right away!
I covered my face with my hands again, but this time I didn't have the shame to even peek.
"Haha, you can't call me Daddy. William will get confused."
"Y-yes. I'm sorry."
"Just call my name."
I don't know if whispering is a thing for a lycan, but he said those words in a hushed tone. Winston is not much help at calming my heart; he repeats his words more slowly.
"Just call my name, My Luceethe."
Three years have unfurled like the pages of a quiet book since the day we exchanged our vows, promising each other a life woven with shared dreams and laughter.Winston and I were not the only ones whose lives were transformed into beautiful, peaceful passages on our page; the Lycans' quality of life also significantly improved.Although there are still rare occasions when we run into difficulties, we can see that we are getting better and stronger. Additionally, in that brief period, the Lycans successfully rebuilt the house that had been destroyed during our conflict with the healers.The Lycans are still reluctant to accept outsiders, but as a sole healer coexisting with them, I have come to appreciate the way of life I had been dreaming of.I can now interact with them whenever I want and freely admire and appreciate their beauty.I am on cloud nine, but as time passes, the quiet whispers of worry become more audible, like a constant murmur in the background of my life—Winston and
I should be saying my wedding vow by now if only these attention seekers didn't ruin our wedding ceremony.I could not help but sigh as I watched the Lycans leave the community hall, forgetting that I was supposed to be the main character of today's event.I can do nothing but continue to move in the same direction as they are.Contrary to them, who carelessly tore their formal wear to pieces, I carefully walked outside, taking care to protect my wedding dress' delicate details.I do not worry that a battle will break out right now.I am sure that the barrier my son built would prevent these healers from entering our territory, even if they bled while banging their heads against it.Now, the only issue was why this new clan of healers was arriving here on my wedding day.Why do they have to bother me on a day when I should be happily enjoying my time?Anyway, at the time I went out to the community hall, Wakkin showed off how he had changed as the Lycan leader.Wakkin's growl reverber
The early morning sun painted the room in a soft, golden tone as I stood in front of the mirror, my pulse pounding frantically in my chest. My hands trembled with a mixture of eagerness and unrestrained delight as I smoothed down the delicate lace of my bridal dress.I couldn't believe that my wedding day was actually here.I know Winston and I are already husband and wife, but doing the ceremony and experiencing the wedding is a whole different level of excitement and feeling.I couldn't help but bounce on my toes, the excitement bubbling up inside me like a champagne cork ready to pop. Every breath I took seemed to tingle with anticipation, and I had to remind myself to slow down and take it all in."Do not ruin the ceremony just because you are excited," I told myself as I stared at myself in the mirror.I worked hard to make this wedding happen, so I must be patient and enjoy it to the fullest.Originally, Winston planned a simple wedding in which we would exchange vows, eat toget
After the death of our dearest child, there is no way we can move on immediately, but we are trying. Also, the whole territory of the Luca Clan grieved for William's death and carried the will that our son left in everyone's heart. We have to rebuild the clan and make it stronger.In the days that followed, the Lycans tentatively stepped back into their old routines, navigating the balance between the past and the present. We rebuilt our homes, which had been destroyed by the battle, and restored the laughter we lost.Everyone is trying and working hard, and my husband was one of the lycans who was working particularly hard."Win, take a break for a moment!"I shouted without even knowing where exactly my husband was. All I know is that he is toiling away inside the construction site, helping to rebuild our mansion."Wait, I'm coming!" Winston answered right away.I glanced up to see him on the third floor before he jumped down to approach me.My jaw dropped as soon as I saw how his a
The lycans are finally prepared to start the party and give out their gifts.The covered court filled up as more Lycans joined us. I think everyone inside the territory came to greet my son at his impromptu birthday party."Happy birthday to you!""Happy birthday, boss William!""Happy Happy birthday to you!"They made a mess of singing the birthday song. I could hear the deaf tones more, and they also sang their own lyrics. It's funnier in that way anyway.When it came to crowd attention, William, as I recall, was very shy.As far as I remember, William was incredibly reserved in front of a group of people. But that shy side of him has long since vanished, as evidenced by the excitement with which he jumped and danced to the messy birthday song that was being sung for him.I happily sang along despite the messy singing."Blow the candle." I said.My son was still catching his breath as he finally behaved in front of his birthday cake. He smiled broadly while the orange glow of the ca
It took three days for William to be satisfied with the "play" he requested. We only spent one day at the amusement park and spent the following days doing everything William requested, such as visiting a marine theme park, visiting a kindergarten, pretending to be a normal human family, racing cars at a circuit, and shopping.Overall, Winston, William, and I were happy with our unexpected family outing.It was not all about play, but we smiled, laughed, and finally had time to talk to each other about everything we had missed.It was the first time we felt like a real family.I wish this moment would never end, but that was just wishful thinking on my part.I know what will happen in the end, but it is extremely difficult for me to accept."Shall we go back to Luca Territory?" William suggested.Winston and I looked at William with a surprised look because he asked about returning home out of the blue."What do you mean?" I asked."Mean by what, mom?""W-well, why are you asking to g
We will all die. Knowing that is the best information we could have—except for knowing when.Because we think that tomorrow or some time in the future will be close enough, we might put things off so much. And it always surprises us when we realize we are running out of time.It really took me by surprise—devastatingly!How am I supposed to accept that my son will leave me soon?Indeed, we are finally together.We are even flapping our wings in rhythm, as if we are having our best time.We appeared stunning with our wings.I looked at my son's and my husband's faces.Their expressions looked bright and relieved, as if nothing was wrong with our current situation.They smiled as they elegantly moved in the air.Am I the only one suffocating in my own hopelessness?I do not like the new reality we are living in, but I also cannot keep harping on how bad things are.No matter how much I won't accept it, I guess I just have to do what they want.I will see to it that William gets to see t
I was lost for words.I stared at my son, hoping that he was just throwing a bad joke. But his melancholy eyes, which were hidden by a fake bright smile, proved that none of his words were intended as a joke."Why are you so surprised, mom?" he asked. "You also do the same.""What do you mean? I am not dying at all.""It's because you only resurrected my father and a few others.""What?""I don't know about my father, but I care a lot for the clan. I don't want it to die out."Although his words were harsh, William looked at his father as if he was relieved. I suppose he does not hate Winston all that much, or has he ever hated him? Strangely, my son would always lead me to get concerned and anxious, as I no longer could tell what was running through his mind.He matured a lot.My baby grew in a flash."Second awakeners can revive the dead, but the price is that part of our life span would be taken out," William said. "They will come back to life like a butterfly.""Like a butterfly?"
The glow of the moon was faint, yet it still predominantly illuminated the night sky.The night is beautiful, and it even becomes more august because of the howling of the wolves around while the elves and vampires also join in, screaming out their joy.Finally, the battle was over, and the survivors had prevailed.We have all the right to rejoice, even if we murdered a lot of creatures.Greed, purpose, motives, and whatnot—I don't care what the others were celebrating. What was important to me was that, at long last, no more clan would prey on my lycans.Even though there are still other healer clans, I am confident that they will not attempt to come to the surface now that everyone is aware of their vulnerability."Finally, we can live in peace." I mumbled. I am still tightly hugging Winston in his naked humanoid form. I think I am getting used to seeing these wolves get naked after their deathly battles. I don't feel flustered seeing the wolves naked anymore, but of course, even if
