Calvin asked casually, wondering why she was making this a big issue. “What matter is that I didn’t let happen to you, and here you see, you’re absolutely all right. So, stop creating a scene.”
‘How do you are able to this, Alpha Calvin? One moment you make me feel special, and in the other moment, you make me feel that I’m no one to you except the mother of your pup…. Our pup.’ Ethlyn thought, looking at Calvin painfully.
“Now that you’re finally awake. Come on, get ready quickly. It’s a party for your sister, remember?” Calvin reminded her bringing her from her thoughts. “You have to wear this sky blue dress because Rose is also wearing a dress in the same color. For the twinning purpose, you know?” He added, selecting the dress for her.
“From next time, I will get the matching dress for you both because Rose loved twinning all the time.” Calvin kept speaking while Ethlyn kept staring at his face, watching his talk about Roselet with a smile on his lips. If she wouldn’t have been their daughter, then Ethlyn would have definitely been jealous of her.
‘I like his voice.’ Cinder purred. ‘Or maybe I like him. He is not that bad which you had thought about him.’ She added, looking at Calvin with dreamy eyes.
Calvin snapped his finger in front of her, bringing her out of her dreamland again.
“What are you thinking so hard?”
“Uhh.. Umm.. I was thinking, how did you manage to wake me this soon? I mean, I was drugged, right?” Ethlyn asked meekly.
“Oh, that… That was so easy. All I had to make you smell my used socks. That I’ve been wearing from last month.”
“WHAT?”
“Yes!! Not just that. I also had to make you smell my boxer, and guess what? It worked. You awake just like that.” He said, enjoying her anger.
“What the fuck!! You’re lying. This is not possible.” Ethlyn yelled at him angrily. She felt like vomiting at the thought of smelling used socks. In the next moment, Calvin started laughing at her state. “I won’t leave you, Alpha Calvin.” With this, she ran behind him.
“Really? Can you even catch me? Useless woman?” Calvin teased and started running, teasing her more. But catching Calvin was impossible for Ethlyn because he was quicker and faster than her.
“Aaahhh!!” She cried in pain when her knee hit the bed by running around.
“Damn, you can’t even run properly, useless woman.” Calvin reached near her scolding her, and then the moment he bent a little to check her knee, Ethlyn grabbed his fully from his top.
“Caught you.” Ethlyn grinned at her accomplishment. “Aaahhh!!” She cried when Calvin grabbed both her thighs and turned her body into a 360-degree turn, throwing her on the bed.
He smirked before speaking, “You are barely twenty-two or twenty-three, and I have been training for the last twenty-four years.”
Ethlyn was still in shock at Calvin’s move. “What… what’s your age, Alpha Calvin?” She asked because Calvin didn’t look like too old to her. Maybe because he had maintained his figure, and also, werewolves grow old more slowly than humans.
“I’m Thirty-two.”
‘He is nine years older than me.’ Ethlyn thought. ‘In that way, even his younger sisters will be older than me.’
“Now, get ready quickly instead of using your mind unnecessarily.”
“But you didn’t answer my question. How did you manage to wake me this soon?” Ethlyn questioned.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
“One of my uncles, Uncle Oliver, is too good with the herbs. So, he keeps inventing medicines and poisons for us to fight against our enemies.” Calvin replied, shrugging his shoulder.
“Uncle Oliver…. umm.. Isn’t he the Werewolf King, Oliver Weasley, Mate of Rebecca Cornell?” Ethlyn asked.
“Was.”
“Sorry?”
“He was the Werewolf King, not anymore. The new Werewolf King is Steve Weasley. A lot of things changed in the last five years.”
“But I had heard that he is blind. Then how can he be a king?” Ethlyn questioned. “Is he not blind anymore?”
“We’re already running an hour late,” Calvin said, widening her eyes.
“WHAT?”
“Yes, be quick.” Saying this, Calvin walked out of the room that he had allotted to her. ‘Alpha, the CCTV footage of the mating ball of that night is here.’ Damian mind linked Calvin when he was going to get ready.
‘I will be there in a minute.’ He replied and closed the mind link. Calvin knew the footage of the hotel had been deleted, but now that he had a doubt that someone spiked Ethlyn’s drink, he wanted to see what exactly had happened during the ball. At first, he had planned to visit on his own to get that cassette of that footage, but when he realized that he couldn’t leave Ethlyn alone during shopping. He asked Damian to get the cassette from Steve Weasley, the werewolf King, to whom all the cassettes of the mating ball were sent so that the King and queen would know about how many werewolves found their mate in all and whether in all reports matched with the footage.
‘Ethlyn had left the ball early, so we don’t have to watch the whole footage near the bar.’ Keanu said.
‘I hope so. Seems like we are going to enter the party at last.’ Calvin joked, but it wasn’t his fault. Always the important work comes at the end.
