Cindy’s POV
Lica triggered something in me. She must be right; I mean, as Clover, Vlad must have thought that she lacked something, and as a human, Mike actually wanted to be more intimate with me, but I never allowed that to happen. I always have reservations with him when it comes to that matter. I realized I didn’t love him. But no matter where I look at it, isn’t it just right to be faithful to one’s mate or girlfriend? Shouldn’t they ask for anything that wasn’t in me the moment they had me? Alder never asked me to do anything, and even if I hadn’t marked him yet, he still didn’t take it against me to look for another woman.
Before I think about those things, I should focus on myself. I had to know what was going on with me or whether I was really a witch or not. But that incident made Alder certain that I was. If that’s the case, why did my father never tell me about it? If he knew that it was suppressed or had been hidden from me intentionally, why? Am I under some kind of threat or danger?
I want to remember my mother. All I know is that I have one because no one comes out of this world without it. I mean, everyone was conceived by a man and a woman. Since I had my father, my mother should be around, too. The reason for her leaving me or us is a mystery. Not until Lance is back, and I talk to my aunt. I just hope that she knows everything about me and my mother.
“You’re still thinking,” Alder said. He excused himself earlier to check on the trainees. After what Lica did, the rumor spread like wildfire, and they were curious about the reason for her detention. I’m sure that they were wondering what she did to deserve it. But for some, they didn’t care, especially those whom she had bullied. I don’t know why she was acting like that. But according to Sheena, she had been acting like that since they were kids. She tried to be considerate and respectful to her since she was older, which was actually the reason why she just let her do anything to her as long as she was not badly hurt.
“I can’t put myself to rest. When is Lance going to come back?” I asked frustratedly, but he just smiled and sat beside me.
“Be patient; he’ll be home soon. You know he has a mate waiting for him, so he made sure to work faster than before but give an accurate report.”
“I didn’t want to just sit here; I want to know everything already.” I replied and sighed, “You know what? I miss the day when I was the CEO. Everything I want and need will be handed to me immediately, no matter what it is.” I added, and he laughed.
“That’s why you’re so impatient.” He replied, “I was never hands-on with our company, but I made it a point to check it from time to time. I never get the chance to ask anyone to do this or that; they just send me the report.”
“You’re a king; you must have asked them to do things for you and have been very impatient, too,” I replied,
“Yes, but somehow, I know that what I asked them to do is not as easy as one, two, and three. You have to be patient, my love, huh?” I sighed deeply before I nodded my head. I will just agree with him now because I know that, no matter what, I am a very impatient person. He smiled and kissed me.
“Lance will be back later,” he said, so I couldn’t help but smile. “You’re that happy?” he asked again, and I nodded. “Stay that way; you are very beautiful when you are smiling like that,” he added.
“Then you will have to make me,” I replied and kissed him. Being alone with him is the best time of my life. Making out from time to time or whenever we saw fit was what made me love him even more. No, I am not a s*x addict. I just felt love whenever we did that. I mean, I do feel he loves me more than anything else, but when we are making love-passion, love, loyalty, and faithfulness-I feel them.
We missed lunch because I never let him leave our bedroom. I made him make love to me one after the other. Oh, I couldn’t wait to get pregnant with him. His touch and kisses made me want him more, and I understand how he felt before, and now that I have the same feeling, it becomes more intense. “My love, I couldn’t get enough of you,” he whispered.
“Me too, Alder,” I replied,
“I love you, my love.”
“I love you more, Alder.” Then we kissed again. He suddenly stopped before he looked at me. My forehead creased because I knew that someone had mind-linked him.
“Lance is back,” he said. “We better get up and have our lunch before we talk to him. I told him to go and see Sheena first so we still have time to take a bath. That idiot will surely leave their bedroom longer than I asked.” He added and carried me to the bathroom, and we bathed together.
“Did you just say that she’s not my aunt on my mother’s side?” I asked. We were in the King’s office with Charles and Lance, who had just told us that my aunt was my father’s sister.
“Are you certain?” Alder asked, and he nodded.
“It was the main reason why I had to stay a little longer. I wanted to make sure that information was correct,” he replied.
“My father is a human. I know that! I never saw him do something unusual in his whole life. I know because I never left his side.” I told them.
“Did you manage to invite her to visit the palace?” My mate asked,
“No, she doesn’t entertain visitors. I also found out that no one had ever seen her, but I still tried to make some arrangements so I would be able to have a word with her.”
“And?”
“Negative, no matter who I asked for help. I even went to the human territory and asked the most influential person there, but she still didn’t let me meet her.” Lance replied with his head down.
“What do you think, my love?” Alder asked,
“I am going to go there myself,” I replied,
“You don’t look like the Cindy she once knew; will she give you a chance to speak with her?”
“She will; I had to make sure that she would. I wanted to know my childhood, and her stubbornness will never get in my way.” I replied, and he laughed. “What’s so funny?” I asked,
“I already know that you will be saying that, but I still couldn’t believe to hear those words from you.” he replied, “But to be serious, when do you plan on leaving?”
“The sooner, the better.”
“How about tomorrow?” My mate asked, and I smiled at him. I’m sure that he is going to come with me.
“Perfect!” I replied.
