The Werewolf King's Bride

My heart broke hearing her words. Our relationship- I did not want it to be like this. My wife was my everything. What was I even going to do if she thought that way? There was no way I would betray her. No matter what it was for, she was not going to be someone I would ever betray.

"Then stay with me," I said. I knew I should have said something more. I should have told her that I would not betray her. But for some reason, I could not just say it.

"Yeah," she mumbled.

I knew that I was a morally questionable guy. But even then, I had some morals that I followed. Like even if I would force her to be with me even if she ever did not want to, I would not use my force on her if she said no. When I was angry, I sometimes did try to do it with her, more than usual. But whenever she said no, I stopped. And there was another thing I followed.

I would not betray someone I loved.

Since I loved truly only one person, I would not betray her no matter what. In my mind, I could convince myself that I would not. But I could not tell her that. If words were not the answer, I would make her believe this with my action. I hated to be in doubt.

I wanted her to be with me knowing perfectly that her husband was trustworthy and would do anything to protect her, and that even if the world was against her, her husband would even destroy the world for her. Because that was exactly what I would do.

"Ahem!"

Hearing someone cough, she pushed me away quickly. "Ruby? Yes?" she said, far too loudly than necessary.

I had to hold back my laugh with much difficulty seeing her so flushed that her face and upper chest were bright red.

"My apologies for disturbing you, but I actually need to know if Her Highness wants to take the strange nightwear," Ruby said.

She was talking about the shorts and the t-shirt that she came here wearing. She had been using that to wear at night since they were very comfortable. Ruby had been calling them strange, no matter how many times my wife corrected her.

"Yes," she nodded.

"Well, then I will leave. Please feel free to continue."

My little shy wife covered her face with her palms. It had been more than two months since we were married. Yet, she was very shy. I wondered how long it would take for her to ease up completely.

"You don\'t have to be that shy," I said, trying to remove her hands from her face.

"I am not shy!" she said boldly even though her ears were full red.

Every time I looked at her petite body, I always thought about one thing. This body was hurt by her family. They tortured her, hit her. I wondered how much she cried that time, how much it hurt her. It must have hurt a lot.

I hugged her and kissed her shoulder. \'You did well, really well. You held up well, darling.\'

"Dem? Why suddenly...?"

"Can\'t I hug my wife?"

"For no reason?"

"Hmm, for no reason," I mumbled. "I love my wife so much that I want to hug you, kiss you all the time. I want to touch you always."

"... You really do not care about anything else, do you?"

"No?"

She chuckled and in the hug, wrapped her legs around me. She had never done it before. I was kind of taken aback. But this sweet gesture was too sweet for me. Yet, I craved more.

"So, you want to be spoiled now?"

"You always spoil me all the time," she muttered as I pulled her up.

"Well, it\'s my hobby," I said. "By the way, aren\'t you shy anymore? The maids are still here."

"Since you said you don\'t care about anything else, I decided not to as well. At least, for once," she muttered.

"That\'s good," I chuckled and kissed her on the side of her neck. Her natural scent was better than anything else. I was very glad that I was the only one who could take this scent.

No werewolves could get the scent of an Alpha. And as she was my mate, no one could smell her as well.

"You smell as good as always," I muttered.

"I didn\'t use any scent though..."

"I like your natural scent the most," I said. "It\'s something I can\'t even name. But it\'s really amazing."

"It\'s the first time I heard this, you know," she said.

"Of course! I am the first one who has ever held you like this and can take your scent like this."

"Yes, yes, I know."

I carried her like that in our room. The maids glanced at us once and then quickly looked away. Most of them were beet red as if they had seen something they should not have. But it was normal, was it not? Blue and I were husband and wife after all. It was very normal that we would act intimate.

Though my wife had been daring for a moment, I could see how red she was. But she was adamant not to give up. It was adorable. Her trying so hard was really pleasing to watch.

"If you don\'t give up, I will carry you like this around the palace."

"What...?"

"It\'s true."

"I-I won\'t give up," she said shakily. "You can do whatever you want to."

"Then, I will gladly accept this."
