Chapter 63: Visiting Luc (4)
"... Are you kidding me? Tell me 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 comes to chatting," he shrugged.
Luc was completely wrong about this. Demetrius 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 some personal matters," I said. I had no wish to tell them what we talked about. After all, those were the moments 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 come visit me a lot, Blue.
I'm bored and tired with all the work."
"Of course, I will. I'm bored as well. Demetrius said he will get me a sword, so until then..."
"A sword? Why?" Luc asked, surprised.
"Uh, well, I liked his blade. So he told me that I should have a sword myself. He is going to get me a teacher as well. Since he is busy, he can't teach me 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 me 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 me that?" Luc shouted. "Come 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 same 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 time though. I'll come 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 someone other than Demetrius 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 handsome face to calm down!'
It was indeed a good decision to come to Luc. Because of him, I found out a lot about Demetrius and how he was. There were some 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 me after Evelyn was found? Was there any connection between all of these? Was it because of Evelyn that he met me for the first time?
I did not remember much of when I was eleven. It was a long time ago after all. I could remember almost everything I read, but not the things that happened to me in my life. I needed an answer.
But I would not ask him. He told me himself that when the right time would come, he would tell me how he met me for the first time and what made him want me 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 met the beta on my way and he told me that Demetrius 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 me?
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 some reason, I did not like the way Ezekiel behaved sometimes. Especially when it came to Demetrius, he always behaved differently. I did not like it at all. Now I felt like seeing Demetrius even more.
Just one moment- I would be with him in no time.
"I wish to enter alone," I said to him as we reached Demetrius's study.
"... Yes, Your Highness," Ezekiel bowed.
'I'm oddly excited.'
