The Werewolf King's Bride

I kept it a secret from her, lest she should hate me. But now it was all over. She told me she loved me, yet I could not calm down.

I broke the hug and held her face with both of my hands. She looked very red as if she was breathless. Even her whole body was hot as if it was a fever.

The doctor said that nothing major was wrong with her. But she told me not to do it with her tonight, even if she woke up and that she would come to check up on her tomorrow morning. I could not even read her thoughts since she was wearing a silver accessory.

Silver was a dangerous weapon for werewolves and if the heart of a werewolf was pierced with a silver weapon, death was inevitable. And silver prevented all types of powers, even my mind reading did not work at the presence of silver.

"You seem to have a fever," I said. "Want to lie down?"

"Hmm," she nodded.

She looked very innocent. I could not believe I yelled at her. When I was angry, it was hard to control myself, but to think that I lost it in front of her...

"I\'m sorry," I said.

"... W-Why?"

"I yelled at you," I said. "I\'m really sorry. I shouldn\'t have reacted like that."

"It\'s... alright. You were angry...," she muttered. "But I hope... you won\'t be like that if possible."

I was right. She was afraid. I did not know why I was not able to control myself at all. I knew I should not be like that with her, yet I could not control myself.

"Lie down," I said and pushed her gently by her shoulders.

"My whole body hurts," she mumbled.

"Is that so? Want me to massage?" I asked.

"No... I can\'t tonight..."

"I don\'t mean that," I clarified. "We can\'t do that anyway tonight. The doctor told me not to."

"Oh? But she said that nothing is wrong with me? Could it be that I\'m too weak?" she asked.

"Maybe," I said. "Your body is frail and weak. And your swordsmanship practice should be off for a few days."

"Is it because you couldn\'t find any other trainer yet?"

\'No, it\'s because I want you to go in front of other men as less as possible. It seems like most men fall for you as soon as they see you. Even the old librarian fell for you... I fired him though.\'

"I will find another trainer for you as soon as possible," I said.

\'A woman... I need to find a woman.\'

"O-Ok," she mumbled.

Her voice was trembling as well. Something was definitely wrong with her. I could not believe the doctor left her in this state and said that nothing was wrong.

I stormed out of the room as soon as possible. I heard my wife calling after me, but it did not matter. I needed to find the doctor as soon as possible. How could I leave her at that state?

"Call Emma Reerba as soon as possible and send her to my room."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The servants left and I waited in front of my room. Even my head was hurting right now. Perhaps it was because I was worried about my wife.

Emma Reerba was that bastard\'s sister. He even did not go back home. Who knew where that piece of shit was? I would surely kill him the moment I would see him again. How dare he look that way towards my wife!

"Dem..."

"Don\'t worry and lie down," I said. "Don\'t get up and don\'t talk too much. It looks like it hurts for you to talk as well."

"But..."

"The doctor is coming here, so don\'t move or talk much," I said. "Just lie down."

She did not say anything again. I could hear her sharp breathing. For some reason, I could help but panic. What was happening to her?

She had a weak body, but it was the first time I saw her like this. Was that because some blood left her body? But would the effect be like this?

That time back at the magic tower when she started feeling sick, Luc was thinking something weird. I could not help but get angry and almost revealed the fact that I could read minds.

How could she have black mana inside her? She was not even a werewolf. There was no way that could be true.

Luc was always suspicious about everything. He was right sometimes, but there were also times when he was wary of something for no reason. I liked the fact of being wary of most of the things since there could be traitors everywhere, but he was too much this time.

My wife\'s personal maid had somehow found out about her condition and came running. She looked like she could cry at any time.

"Your Highness! How is Her Highness?" she asked as she gasped for breath. "Can I meet her? Please let me go to Her Highness."

That maid had been clinging to her since the beginning and she was the most trustworthy one as well. Her thoughts were pure and full of concern for my wife as well.

The moment I gave a small nod, she ran inside as fast as she could. I could hear her sobbing from the inside.

"Your Highness, how are you feeling? Where does it hurt?"

"I\'m fine. Why are you crying?" Blue chuckled. "It\'s just my whole body hurts a bit."

\'I won\'t mind killing His Highness if something happens to Her Highness. Her Highness is such an angel. Did His Highness yell at her again? He is good to her, but sometimes he is very mean to her. If it\'s true that Her Highness is in this condition because of him, he can go to hell!\'

To be honest, I flinched hearing this. I had never heard anyone trash talk me for someone else. If it was some other time, she had to die for thinking about something like this. But since she said that out of concern for my wife, I forgave her. Rather, I was quite pleased. To think she would go against her king, her own kind for the queen who was also a human- it was pretty impressive.

But was it true that I was mean to her? It was true that I yelled at her once or twice, but did it hurt her very much? I should refrain from getting angry at her for no reason as much as possible.

"Your Highness, you\'re such an angel. Nothing happens to an angel. So, you will get better soon too and then we will go out in the garden together to look for squirrels," Ruby said.

"Haha, we found one last time, remember? It was so cute," Blue chuckled. The sound of her laughter was blissful and calming. "But perhaps it did not like me much."

\'I will just kill the squirrel. How dare it not like someone as beautiful and wonderful as my wife?\' I grumbled in my head.

"Your Highness, if someone is bothering you, you can tell me," Ruby said in a determined tone. "I will beat them up or kill them if you wish so."

"No one is bothering me."

"Are you sure, Your Highness? Is it because of that Ezekiel? I warned him, yet he crossed the line. I would be glad if His Highness ripped his head off," she grumbled. And I could not help but agree with her at this point.

Blue did not say anything. I could hear her sharp breathing again. It seemed it was hard for her to breathe as well.

The doctor arrived. She seemed like she was out of breath as she ran all the way here. That damn woman was wearing a silver accessory again. Now I could not read her mind again.

"What took you so long? I called you years ago!"

"My apologies, Your Highness," she bowed, truly apologetic. "I came here as soon as possible. Where is Her Highness?"

"In the bedroom," I said.

As I tried to enter the room, she held her hand in front of me. I almost slapped her hand away.

"Your Highness, please stay outside. Let me check Her Highness first, then enter please," she said.

My wife nodded at me and I was forced to back away. I went outside and the doctor closed the door in front of me. I could not help but worry.

If something happened to her, I did not know what I would do. Perhaps I should just kill everyone who had seen her so I would be the only one to ever remember her face.
