Chapter 163: She didn’t deny it
Inside Raine’s private residence, Boris was waiting for Lyne to arrive from work when Draki joined him.
"Hmm... I envy you, Draki... You haven’t met your mate yet, so you’re not going through the struggles I’m currently having. I honestly don’t know whether or not to feel happy that Lyne agreed to marry me after killing Danos. It would be nice if she agreed because she likes me, but I guess it’s far too early to expect something like that," Boris mumbled with a sigh petted Draki by the head. He looked at the bracelet he was wearing and added, "You’re lucky, huh... not to have this thing on you..."
"Eh, don’t worry. You’ll be free from that bracelet soon enough. Once the Mirage Trial ends, we’ll be attacking the Convel Society right after on the same day," Mia reassured him as she sat beside Draki. "Who knows? Maybe Lyne might decide to remove that bracelet even earlier before that. It really seems that you’re rapidly gaining Lyne’s trust more than she anticipated. Coffee?"
Boris kept his silence, signaling to the newcomer that he didn’t want the offer.
"Suit yourself then," she shrugged. "So, you guys can really talk and understand wolves? How about other animals?"
"Just wolves. They are a werewolf’s best friend, after all," Boris answered.
"Ah, like how dogs are man’s best friend, except that we can’t actually understand or talk to them," Mia snorted as she handed the coffee to Boris anyway. Unlike Levi, she was already comfortable around their guest-slash-captive.
"Why do you always drink coffee? Caffeine isn’t good to human’s body," Boris scolded like an older brother.
"Is it also not good for werewolves?" Mia countered with a grin.
