Chapter 397

"That's not true! mother will believe me!" I turned to the other girls, and smiled sweetly " Don't you think so loves? " I blink at them.

" Yes. Mother will believe you, " Elit smiled at me while the others made cute faces at me.

" Mother?" the man who was still standing beside the gate asked " I thought you said your priestess is dead? who's he calling mother?"

"Mother's not dead!" I glare at him "she went on a trip, and when she returns, she will buy those sweet things for me lie she does whenever she leaves," a tear slid from my eyes.

I've gone from acting to the real deal. Talking of the priestess made me recall those days with mom.

Whenever mother leaves the palace, she will buy those sweet sticks for me on her return, and I always look forward to the day she returns until she didn't.

That was the first time I knew grief. Even as young as I was, I was able to deduce exactly what was happening even of Father tried to shield me from the truth.

"It's okay," Ije consoled me. "Have you seen what you've done dear sir. You cause him sorrow," 

The man looked at us for a long time as if trying to decide what to do with us "you can all come in. I have three spare rooms for you all to sleep in," he gestures for us to come into the town.

" Sister is it safe?" I blink up at her "won't mother look for us if she comes back and didn't see us at the mountain?"

That was the mentality I had when I was little. Even knowing mother won't be back, I still sat outside for days waiting for her return. 

i will sit there and wait her out despite the coaxing words from father who tried everything in his powers to get me to come into my room.

For one complete moon cycle, I sat outside waiting for her to show up and tell me Father played a prank on me.

I always expected her to walk up those stairs, the sweet sticks on her hands, and a smile on her face, bit nothing of that sort happened.

Mother didn't return, and she never will.

"Don't worry little boy. It's safe in there, we will keep you all till your mother comes for you," he smiled at me.

"Sister, is he saying the truth?" I look up at Ije "will we be safe in there?"

You're over acting this Blacky, get going already. 

Reddy says a bit too impatient.

Impatient much?

I internally rolled my eyes at him.

I can't bear watching you touch another. The faster we go in, the less restless my inner being will be.

Staying out here might make it show up because another is holding on to you.

Reddy's inner voice was really clipped.

My wolf is getting really restless with you in another's arm. He wants to have you back in his arms where you belong.

Blondie said.
