The Werewolf King's Bride-Chapter 542: Secrets?

(From Blue’s Perspective)

"I did change," he said.

"… Yes, you do not really want power. But honey, you desire to have most among the people of the same class as you," I said. "Among the rulers, don’t you want to have the most power?"

"… It’s not about wanting. It’s just… I feel like I need it," he said. "But that doesn’t mean I want to use you because of that, or something. If I had to use you to have the most power, I would rather have less."

"I know. It’s because you love me," I said.

He lay down on the bed and stared at the ceiling. "Before, yes, I was power-hungry. I won’t say I am not anymore. But it’s not mandatory now," he said. "That time, I did not have something I held dear. I had no hobby, no love, nothing at all.

Power was the only thing that made me work. I wanted it. I wanted more and more."

He was the type of person to crave power that way. Anyone could understand that if they spent even a little time with him. He had a controlling nature. He wanted power in a relationship too. It was less than before now in our relationship, but it was certainly there.

He got angry whenever I told him to do something that he did not want to and he would also get angry if I did something he did not want me to, or if I did not listen to him. He wanted control. These types of people always wanted power.

"Is that why you want to control me?" I asked.

He jerked his head up, then lay down slowly again. It was a question I wanted to ask him for a long time. I had never asked him directly before.

"I don’t know," he said. "I am not sure if it’s because of that. I just feel like if I can control you, I can make sure you never try to leave me."

"… You have severe separation anxiety, you know that?"

"I know. I know you will not leave me, but there is this…"

"I don’t make you feel that way with my behavior, right?" I asked. "If I do make you anxious in some sort of way, you need to tell me right away. I always try not to. I always try to make sure you know that I love you and I will never leave you. However, it’s not all the time that someone can be sure of their actions. You need to tell me if I make you feel like that ever."

"You don’t. It’s me. It’s my mind. I just feel that way. Even if you stayed hugging me all day, every day, it would make no difference. The anxiousness would still be there," he said.

I felt guilty. Maybe I should not have gone shopping alone that day. I did not want to make him feel that way. A line might not work in our relationship. Our relationship needed no boundaries like a normal relationship. I should not have tried to create one in the first place.

He was suffering. If I had to stay by his side all the time to make him feel less anxious, I would. I would not do what I did again. It was a mistake that I would never dare to make again.

"You looked beautiful today. Really beautiful," he said.

"You don’t mind if I wear those revealing dresses?" I asked.

"No. Why would I?"

"Not even a little?"

He was a jealous man. So, it would not be a surprise if he did not like it.

"No," he said. "You look beautiful no matter what you wear. Even if you wore lingerie, I would not mind, as long as you are my wife and just mine. People can only watch after all."

"Your mindset is admirable," I chuckled.

"It’s the first time someone has said that to me," he laughed. "I never thought I would hear it."

The next morning, after waking up around ten, I got ready and went to my office. Dion always woke up in the morning, so Dem took him. My hair did not grow anymore. Probably because I did not let my inner self free again.

I worked for one hour, sipping my tea when I heard the footsteps. My hearing was a lot sharper than before. Not as much as werewolves, of course, but definitely a lot more than humans.

Dem entered my office with a giggling Dion in his arms. "Did you miss Mommy? You haven’t seen Mommy for four hours," Dem said.

"Baby!" I said, rather loudly.

Maybe my voice brought my dear son back to the reality that he had not been with his mother for four whole hours. As soon as he heard my voice, he started crying.

"There you go. It looks like he knows your voice," Dem said.

"Aww, my little baby! Did you miss Mommy?" I took Dion in my arms and hugged my little boy. I showered him with lots of kisses.

He did not calm down for a long time. "Are you sure he is not hungry?" I asked.

"No, I fed him like thirty minutes ago."

"Maybe I should try feeding him a little more."

It worked. He calmed down right away.

"He is just greedy, this mischievous thing," Dem said.

"He is not you."

"He is my son."

"It’s his food, Dem."

"He is not hungry, I am sure. He just wants attention," he said.

"Well, that’s like you," I chuckled.

"That said, I have come to tell you that King Ford wants to meet you."

"How come he notifies you rather than me?" I asked.

"We have been talking just a while ago. I said I will let you know," he said.

"I have noticed it before. You two really have some kind of secret," I said.

"Secret? Just because I am friendly with him doesn’t mean we have secrets. Besides, what kind of secrets?"

"That’s the fact. You are being friendly. It’s not usual," I said. "Well, whatever, I don’t really care. I trust both of you. So, it doesn’t really matter."

"We don’t have secrets."

"Yeah, yeah," I shrugged.
