Chapter 291: Enjoying
For an entire minute, Lucas just looked at his mate without blinking. It was not like he belittled his mate, but he had to admit that she was not that sharp regarding many things. She still didn’t have any idea why only immortal beastmen could approach her till now. It was because as her mates, they didn’t let any weaker male near their mate. Then she saw the snakelings as nothing but innocent babies but the latter were feared as well as respected by everyone in the snake tribe. Beastmen revered strength and the little snakes had that. These were only some of the instances he could remember as of now. In conclusion, his mate was ignorant of most of the things happening around her or she was just good at brushing it away and acting like nothing.
Nonetheless, Lucas couldn’t help but admit that his mate was never ignorant of matters regarding them. She was way too observant of each one of their moods and fluctuations in emotions. She could see right through them if they were lying but only confronted them when they seemed too upset.
"Lucas?" called his mate gaining his attention, "What happened?"
He sighed, "Lexi talked about something that made me upset"
Lyra nodded, "Would you like to talk about it?" She didn’t want to force him to explain anything and hoped that he would open up by himself because she could clearly see that he was disturbed. She didn’t like seeing her ever-cheerful Lucas, so sad.
Lucas held his mate’s hand and smiled when he felt her grip tighten. He took a deep breath before parting his lips, "Lexi was talking about Elena and how the latter still loves me. And when I was about to leave having enough of her nonsense, she suddenly talked about removing my spousal mark from your body. I...couldn’t hold back and yelled at her"
Lyra frowned in displeasure. That fox princess was a piece of work. How could she talk about spousal mark removal in front of a mated male? And that too for the friend that never loved the said male? Yes, Lyra could see that Elena’s so-called love for Lucas was nothing but an obsession. The latter just wanted to own him and didn’t really care for him. If she did love him, then she wouldn’t bother him like this. Loving someone can be easy for some but for most, it is very difficult. But even through that difficulty, wishing only the best for our loved ones is what we should do. It is alright if our loved ones don’t reciprocate our feelings because seeing them happy is what should matter. Be it with them or with someone else.
"She is a bitch" Words left her mouth before she could think and that made her eyes widen. Her mate, likewise looked at her with his eyes filled with shock and mirth.
"Wow..." Lucas muttered while chuckling, "Such colorful words...."
