Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 603: The Ancient Curse (Cecillia’s Point Of Views)

I bit my lip to keep myself from getting angry. I had to be able to forgive the man because he didn’t know what I had been through.

"Sir?" I called.

"You know the term mate?"

Mate? Of course I knew. It was a term often used when other creatures found their bond partners. I often heard it when my father said that the dragon clan found their partners in a unique way. They couldn’t freely choose their partners like humans.

Their mates had been chosen, while humans had the luck to choose whoever they wanted as a partner. That was why sometimes I felt sorry because other creatures, except the humans, couldn’t marry the partner they loved. Instead, they had to marry a mate, a partner who had been chosen. Not the one they chose themselves.

"I know."

"And you are my mate."

Instantly, I couldn’t think about anything. Did that mean I was his mate? Everyone knew that mate was a term for all living beings in this world other than humans.

"Humans don’t have mate relationships, Sir. Mate is a bond made by the Moon Goddess to all beings other than humans because humans have the right to choose their own partners."

The man drew closer. His arms wrapped around my back. Supposedly, if I acted and thought logically, I should slap him and run away. However, that strange feeling came back and flooded my chest. The feeling of comfort and protection was back. Our bodies were even close to each other without any gaps.

"Are you sure that I am human?" The man whispered right in my ear.

I had to push him away... I had to push that strange man away... men and women shouldn’t be this close when they didn’t have any relationship... I had to...

My body was electrified as the man bit my shoulder. I grabbed his clothes when his lips touched my neck, leaving a wet mark. The man managed to make my legs tremble. It was his arms that supported my body so I wouldn’t fall to the ground.

I saw my palms were now clean of wounds. That man healed all the wounds on my body completely.

"I want to mark you."

No, no, no. I couldn’t be like this. Instantly, all my powers returned, and I regained my rational mind. I pushed his body away then stepped backward.

"What are you doing? That was so rude. I will return to the castle. If you want compensation, please go to the castle. I will explain everything to my parents so that you get what you deserve."

I left the place and went back into the forest. I kept walking straight without looking left and right. The farther I was from the man, the greater the fear arose in my heart. The forest was so dark that it made me feel like I was going blind once again.

Should I just come back and ask for his help? I thought so. I should just go back. However... where did the man go? Why did it feel like I was going in a circle? I couldn’t find my way back, either to the man or home.

My breath hitched, and my heart was pounding very fast. I was full of anxiety. It wasn’t a feeling of comfort and security like what I felt when I was in the mysterious man’s arms. I had never been afraid of the dark because I was blind., but now I was filled with anxiety.

"Sir .... Sir..."

I tried calling out to the man several times, but I couldn’t hear anything other than the sound of the wind blowing the leaves. I used to play in the forest until night, but why did it feel really scary now?

"Ugh..." I didn’t like this one bit. When the hem of my dress got caught on a tree branch, I tried to pull it with all my might.

CREAK!

It was torn apart. The skirt of my dress was torn long to my knees. I lifted my skirt so that it would no longer get caught in the branch. I hastened my steps. I couldn’t cry. I had never cried over things like this before. I only cried when my friend went to go to the war. I only cried when the war killed my friends.

I couldn’t cry, and I wouldn’t cry. I tried to convince myself, but what I was feeling right now was really breaking me down. I started to feel that my face was wet with tears. Even though my lips were tightly closed without making any sound, my eyes continued to shed tears without stopping.

In that dark forest, I could see nothing but the shadows of the trees, which were quite dense. I didn’t care about the part of my cheek that was scratched by a twig. The sleeve of my dress was torn, while my hair ties caught in a tree branch. As a result of my loose hair, I could no longer see the way, making the tip of my shoe trip over a tree root sticking out of the ground.

I prepared to face the ground and get hurt again. With my eyes tightly closed, I waited and waited for my body to hit the ground, but after a few seconds I waited, it never happened.

"This is what happens when you go out alone in the forest at night."

That voice! I opened my eyes to see the mysterious man. His face was barely visible by the poor light of the forest, but his red eyes glowed in the darkness.

"Sir!"

I hugged him tightly. I was really relieved now. I was very, very relieved. Finally... the comfort and safety had returned... and this time, I would hug him tightly without wanting to leave his side again.

"Do you want me to take you home now?" The man asked gently.

My anxious heartbeats were replaced by joy again. I hugged his neck tightly as he lifted me up. I took a deep breath when I felt his big hand gently stroking my back.

"Where are we going now?" he asked a different question.

"Go home. I want to meet my father and mother."

"Alright, I’ll take you there."

"Thank you."

I rested my face on his broad shoulder. The refreshing scent of the wood made me even more lulled. Then, I slowly closed my eyes. Again, I could only say this was strange. I didn’t even know his name.
