Chapter 279: Hit Me With Your Best Shot, Honey [5]
[ZULA]
The king walked into Kawai with his sleeping Erasthai in his arms and for a moment, the Lycans thought he had killed her. It wasn’t something they could put past him, given the way that she had left and how he was never one to forgive defiance targeted against him.
He was the devil for a reason and the woman was crazy if not stupid to go against him. However, when they saw him smiling as he admired her from in his arms, they were unsure of what to think.
The man who had never smiled at them, the man who never cared to even acknowledge anyone’s presence other than Sadako’s was now smiling from ear to ear with the woman in his arms.
It wasn’t that hard to tell that she was his greatest weakness, and if she wasn’t already, that’s what she would be; at least that much was certain.
That night, Zaffuto lay his Erasthai on his bed, the one place he had avoided for the longest time. He hadn’t slept for years and didn’t even know what sleep felt like. He had never had a reason to sleep.
But as he looked at her, the queen of his heart, the girl who didn’t think he was a monster, he couldn’t resist the urge to lay beside her, to keep her feeling safe. He however had a feeling that it wasn’t his protection that she sought.
And maybe that was why he slept beside her. Or maybe it was because he was scared she would wake up and not find him beside her, which was strange for a man who never cared.
Or maybe he just wanted to sleep on his bed for the first time in so many thousands of years, right? Whichever it was, there was no denying that the king was leaning towards the girl in his bed. Pergola this wasn’t as bad, right?
