Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 500: Abigail’s Forgiveness
Arielle lifted Abigail’s body to stand on her own two feet. Luffy rushed to get rid of any remaining uneaten fruit to make way for Abigail. Arielle and Luffy then tried to calm the woman on her bed.
"Luffy, get me some water," Arielle said.
Luffy took the glass that was lying beside the bed and opened a jar filled with clean water that was used for Abigail to drink. Arielle gave Abigail a glass of water and told the woman to calm down.
Both Arielle and Luffy were silent. They did not want to disturb Abigail who was trying to regain her composure.
"Arielle ... I’m sorry ... I ... already know about you," said Abigail, making Arielle feel tense.
What did Abigail already know? Arielle wanted to ask, but she refrained herself.
She just stroked Abigail’s back, waiting for the pregnant woman to drink again and controlling her breath. The limp Abigail leaned her head on Arielle’s shoulder.
"Abigail?" called Arielle who was worried if Abigail suddenly fainted.
"Arielle ... Maxieno has told me everything," Abigail said, making Arielle’s body feel cold.
Arielle wanted to ask what Abigail meant, but her feelings had given her the answer. Surely, it was that Maxieno had told the woman everything about Arielle. All about who Arielle’s husband was and what Ronan had done to her mate, Xavier.
"I’m sorry." In the silence of the cave, those were the only words Arielle could say. She had no excuse or alibi of her own. Even though she was completely unrelated to the tragedy ten years ago, Arielle was still the wife of the man who was responsible for the death of Abigail’s mate.
"At first, I was very angry, Arielle. Even I plan to seek revenge. Yesterday, after I came back from meeting Xieno, I only put on a good face and attitude, but my heart burned with hatred until Otis told me that back then you still haven’t met your husband."
"I knew from the start that you were a good person, so after hearing that you weren’t there during the tragedy ten years ago, I was really relieved. I can’t hate you, but I really hate your husband, Arielle... I cried all night because I felt guilty for thinking that I would get my revenge. I regret having such bad thoughts...." Abigail said while sobbing.
Arielle was silent in her place. All she could do right now was to hold Abigail’s hands gently. Arielle certainly couldn’t blame Ronan either, because what her husband did was to protect his kingdom. Wasn’t the dragon clan the first to attack the palace? Ronan just wanted to protect his people.
However, Ronan didn’t know that the dragon he had killed also had life. His mate was pregnant. Now that Xavier was gone, Abigail had to endure ten years of pregnancy alone without anyone’s help and protection.
"Abigail... I also want to apologize for my husband’s actions," Arielle replied.
Abigail shook her head. "Arielle, can I ask you a favor? can you ask you husband to return Xavier’s head?" she asked.
The last time Abigail saw her mate was when the blue dragon Xavier arrived at the castle in a headless state. Abigail, who was pregnant, looked everywhere, but she still couldn’t find her lover’s head. Until she reached the point of depression, Maxieno arrived and said that Xavier’s head had been cut off by the King of Northendell. The man brought the head back to his kingdom.
Arielle wasn’t sure about that.
"I feel... I don’t have much time, Arielle, and my children will be out soon. I just needed my mate presence, and the one who could calm me down was Xavier. At least I want to sleep with Xavier for one last time."
"Abigail! What are you saying?!" Arielle scolded her after hearing Abigail’s pessimistic tone earlier.
Abigail understood Arielle’s frustration, but she knew her own body better. Abigail held her pregnancy for ten years alone so that her children could hatch immediately without incubating. Abigail didn’t want her eggs to be targeted by any danger because Xavier wasn’t here to protect them. That was why Abigail kept delaying her spawn period. As the time passed by, she couldn’t hold it in anymore. Her stomach cramped every night, and she almost passed out.
Abigail had always dreamed of Xavier and believed that she would never be able to keep her pregnancy again. She wanted to hold on to the end, and the only one giving her strength was Xavier.
"Arielle... I beg you... I need Xavier... for one last time..."
"I know Abigail, but you also have to endure it a little longer for the sake of your children... You can’t speak pessimistically like that. Your children need you, Abigail..."
Abigail’s tears flowed on her cheeks again. "I know... I want it too, but I’ve already got my call. Arielle... our instincts are much stronger than humans. We knew when death would befall us... and I... couldn’t take it anymore. I don’t know how long I can last, but it won’t last long."
"Abigail ..."
Arielle also cried and hugged the woman. Seeing Abigail so fragile reminded Arielle of her old self. Abigail looked so desperate. The woman even knelt in front of Arielle, making her surprised. She tried to lift Abigail not to beg her. She really didn’t deserve to be asked for something like this...
"Arielle, I beg you..." Abigail asked desperately.
"I don’t care if Xavier’s head is only his skull. I also don’t care if it’s just the skin, but please Arielle.... Ask your husband to return Xavier to me... Ten years, I have lived without him, only replaying our dreams and memories. I just want to see him again, Arielle. I want to see the warm, dashing blue of Xavier... Please, Arielle..."
Arielle nodded. Ronan was a man full of pride. She tried not to interfere in her husband’s business, but seeing Abigail pleading desperately, Arielle didn’t have the heart to refuse. Even without Abigail on her knees, she would certainly help the woman!
