Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 473: Arielle Is Ready For The Marking
Ronan stepped forward, putting his feet on the green grass. The twinkling fireflies gave him additional light. Even so, the moonlight was bright enough to light up the night as if the moon was right above them.
Ronan paused to confirm that the girl in front of him was his wife. The girl turned and ran towards him, then hugged Ronan’s neck tightly.
"Ronan!" Arielle shouted. Ronan enthusiastically sniffed her to make sure that the girl was really his wife and not just a hallucination. His tail was moving left and right with his tongue licking the girl. It made Arielle laugh out of amusement.
"I miss you, Arielle. Why are you taking so long? Are you healed now? Let’s go, we have to go home!" Ronan asked while biting Arielle’s dress to come with him.
Ronan’s eyes were blurry. He tried to fight it. He didn’t want to lose his consciousness right now. Then, he remembered about his agreement with Amadea.
"I know what you need. It’s a full moon night, right?" the girl asked.
Ronan could only nod.
"Then, come with me."
Ronan was silent for a moment. This felt weird. Arielle in front of him was the real Arielle, but the girl looked so healthy. She didn’t look sick at all. Her complexion had returned. If the girl had recovered, why didn’t she visit him right away?
Arielle, who didn’t feel Ronan’s presence behind her, looked back. She could see the doubtful gaze radiating from those red irises. The girl came back to Ronan slowly while hugging him tightly.
"I know. I will explain everything. But, we have to calm Amadea who is in your body first, so we can talk without being disturbed."
Ronan nodded. The two of them passed a lake that Ronan had never seen before. He stopped for a moment to see the reflection of the full moon that was so beautiful on the surface of the water. He looked up, and for the first time, his eyes lit up at the beauty of the full moon.
Ronan had never seen a moon this round before. It was so big and sent sparkling silver light, making the surface of the water reflect the light like a collection of crystals.
Ronan followed Arielle again until they arrived at a small hut in the middle of the forest.
"Where are we Arielle?"
"I’m staying here for the past few days."
Ronan looked at the hut made of wood. It was not worthy of being called a place to live. The door was very small. Ronan couldn’t enter it in his wolf form. The place didn’t fit, and Ronan couldn’t change his form into a human anymore. Even in his human form, Ronan couldn’t quite pass through the door without bowing his head.
Arielle stroked the side of Ronan’s face, then whispered.
"Wait here a moment."
Arielle entered the hut and returned with a potion with a familiar scent. Suddenly, a part of him felt very calm. Ronan kept sniffing the scent, and he had managed to dominate his consciousness completely. Ronan was able to transform into his human form again. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Arielle wrapped Ronan’s naked body with a blanket. Ronan didn’t need that. He then jumped at his wife and hugged her tightly, making Arielle almost fall backwards.
"Arielle... what happened to you???" asked an impatient Ronan.
Arielle pulled Ronan’s hand into her hut. The place was very small, but it looked very neat. A wooden dining table with one chair was placed near the fireplace. Beside it was a simple kitchen, and near the entrance was a bed made of wood.
"Ronan, forgive me for keeping all these secrets to myself. Now, I will tell you everything without exception."
Ronan pulled Arielle to sit on his lap. He positioned himself on the small bed while hugging the girl that sat on his lap. His face was buried in the crook of Arielle’s neck.
"Arielle, I don’t understand any of this at all."
Arielle gently caressed Ronan’s hand, which was hugging him tightly.
"We are at Birwick Mountain right now."
"Birwick Mountain? So, where is all the snow? Is this the deepest part of Birwick Mountain?"
Arielle shook her head. "This area is nowhere near Birwick Mountain. This place is another dimension that is locked by Amadea so that no human can enter it. This is the Birwick Kingdom once conquered by King Theodore, the place where he took Princess Cecilia as his concubine."
"I had visited this place twice through my dreams before. I met Lord Otis who also helped me to recover. Lord Otis is bound by the dragon clan and Birwick Mountain, so he cannot leave this dimension for long. He communicated through my dream."
"Lord Otis told me a lot from the beginning of why Northendell was snowing, to the curse that the descendant of King Theodore got. Right now, the two of us are working together to erase Amadea’s past hatred and grudges."
Ronan just listened attentively.
"Actually, I was invited by Lord Otis to stay in the castle relic of the Birwick Kingdom, but the dragon clan rejected me because I am your wife," Arielle said while laughing, imagining the protests of the dragons when she said that she was married to Ronan.
"Those damn dragons."
Arielle rushed to cover her husband’s mouth.
"Shhh! You can’t say something like that. Since Amadea died and the werewolf’s population began to decrease, Birwick Mountain was ruled by the dragons. They have a fairly sharp sense of hearing. It is possible that later, there will be a dragon crossing over this forest and accidentally hearing your words. It will be dangerous. You are a smuggler here," Arielle said, making Ronan smile.
He looked at his wife who was explaining about how Lord Otis taught her about calming Amadea’s wolf by mixing the Snowdrop flower with a little of her blood. The Snowdrop flower was identical to Princess Cecil, thus with a little blood blessed by the Moon Goddess, Amadea immediately recognized the scent of his mate.
"That’s why, I want to apologize. I can’t go back right now, Ronan. Until I completely mastered my power."
"Your power?"
Arielle nodded.
"These past few days I’ve been able to regulate the flow of mana in my body, so it won’t be dangerous anymore if you want to mark me now."
Ronan swallowed his saliva. He still didn’t understand what had happened, but Arielle suddenly took off her shirt and offered her shoulders.
"Ronan, I’m ready now."
