If not, how could he torture his lovely wife? He could see imaginary fumes emitting from her ears in anger. Looks like she was really angry with the person who hurt her. What would she do if she gets to know that it was her brother? And how could she be so cute to forget everything when he was in pain? Only she can do it. His wife. His little wife.
Such a little one. He loves her. Yes, he loves her so much.
"I love you, Wifey," he said all of a sudden at her making her freeze in her actions. His voice reached her ears making her feel shocked. His cold breath fanning on her chest as his chin was pressed down her bosom. She could feel his skin even with her clothes on. His breath made her hair stand at the end.
Adira looked at him with surprise. Her eyes widened with shock while her jaw dropped to the ground.
Her little heart started racing loudly, and his ears caught perfectly as he laid his head on her chest. Her every beat made his blood run faster which made the poison spread even faster. His little brother was asking for attention.
Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath to control himself but failed again. Because when he inhaled he smelled her roses and sandalwood smell from her body making him go insane.
Why the fuck he was getting tortured like this?
He was afraid he would affect her with the poison in his body if he kissed her.
Gulping a huge lump, he decided to close his eyes.
Adira felt a weird sensation run through her body. When she heard his words.
"That's not the answer to my question," she said after some silence.
Zaros opened his eyes and took a deep breath. Her rose and Sandalwood smell hit her nostrils, which calmed his nerves.
"Promise me you won't confront that person," he requested her.
Adira looked at him suspiciously.
Why was he behaving like this?
Was he someone close to her?
With her brother's protective nature… it's more possibly looks like it was his doing.
She wondered if it was really her brother then what she would do.
She doesn't have an answer for that.
[We don't know the situation. Let's ask him what happened before we get to the conclusions.] her wolf said to her.
Adira nodded her head to her wolf and decided to listen to him and his explanation.
"I will promise," she said.
But Zaros looked at her with suspicious eyes.
"I said I won't do anything to that person," she said with her narrowed eyes shutting him up.
Who said his wife was cute? Scratch that… she is an angry young woman who can scare her husband, who happened to be the king of Vampira.
"I went to meet my sister but she was sleeping. I don't want to disturb her. I went to her because I found a lead to my big sister's death. I wanted to share that with her," he can see she was almost close to sleep. He wanted to add more words to his words before he tell the thing to her.
Adira got annoyed at his exceptionally long speech. Why was he dragging this so much? Even her face and eyes said the same thing to him. He just wants to drag this out as late as he can.
"It's my brother, right?" she asked directly looking into his eyes.
Zaros panicked.
How did she get it?
His wife was smart!
"Listen completely before you ask questions. You do know that I don't like others disturbing me when I speak," he said trying to intimidate her. But Adira just rolled her eyes at him.
He doesn't want to plan or plot something against this pair of brothers and sisters when they did nothing to him or Lenora. He wanted them to stay happy and blessed, unlike him and Lenora. Zaros knew the pain of losing a sister he doesn't want that to happen to any other brother out there. And he doesn't want to be the reason for their breakup.
He knew how protective Maximus was of his sister. He understood that at their meeting banquet. That was also because the banquet made him feel regretful about his behavior.
"So, I am returning back to you after knowing she was asleep. On the way, I saw your brother," he said eyeing her as he sat straight observing her expressions.
"Then we both went into a garden to have a chat. We are having a chat in his royal gardens, as we continued to walk. Then things got out of hand about me asking justice for my sister and him asking justice for you. I punched him, and he punched me. We had a fight. Then this happened," he said pointing to the scratch.
He looked at her nervously.
Adira wanted to say something but nothing came out. She was so speechless.
They fought for something so silly in the nick of time that almost led to each other's death.
Her face was screaming saying that 'you both are so stupid. I am so done with you both,'
Zaros wanted to face-palm himself. The anger she showed earlier which was replaced with something peculiar emotion caught him. He doesn't know whether he should laugh or cry.
Wait… does that mean he won't get hugs?
She really has big boobs. He wanted to bury his head in her big boobs and fondle them.
Her hugs were so comforting.
Was he going to miss her big boobs and her hugs?
Her body was soft like plushieee~~
This can't be happening! How could he bear that!
Zaros cried without tears at her words. No~~~~~~~
Damn!
He wanted to cry without tears. This was so cruel. He looked at her with a pitiful expression that made Adira's expression contort into something else.
"You can sulk by yourself. I am leaving now. I have things to attend to," she said before getting up from bed.
