Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 608: The Ancient Curse (Cecillia’s Point Of Views)

I didn’t know how to react. The man kept insisting that we were mates. He held both sides of my face to keep me looking at him.

"Look at me and don’t panic."

I nodded, then the man stood up and walked a few steps away from me. His hand gestured for me to look into his eyes. And within seconds, the man’s body had grown drastically. His back was bowed with a face that was fully transformed into thick hair as dark as the night.

A wolf. A grown man had turned into a giant wolf. My feet felt cold with fear. My body was unable to move because it felt like my feet were stuck deep into the ground.

The wolf took a step closer.

I crossed my arms in fear of being attacked by the beast. Until something soft touched my face.

The wolf rubbed his face against mine.

(Cecil)

I could hear a voice echoing inside my head.

(Can you hear me?)

The voice was quite familiar. It sounded like the voice of a mysterious man whose name I still didn’t know until now. I stared at the giant beast in front of me. His red eyes that glisten in the night remind me of the mysterious man’s irises.

(You... are... a werewolf?)

Werewolves were a clan of humans who could transform into wolves. The wolf nodded and put his head on my lap. He gave me a wink that made my heart flutter.

(Do you believe we are mates now?) He asked.

Oh, yeah... I almost forgot that we were talking about that. I braced myself to touch the side of his face with a trembling hand. Even though I had many animal friends, I had never gotten close to wild animals. Yes, wolves were wild animals, while so far I had only played with cats, chickens, cows, horses, and several other tame animals in the castle.

The wolf growled gently then closed his eyes like he was asleep.

"But, I am a human while you are a werewolf. We are different. A special creature like you can’t have a human mate."

(Of course, it can, and it’s you)

I still wanted to deny it. We were both totally different creatures. A special creature like him always treated humans lower, so... there was no way I would be the mate of a werewolf.

My hand touched the side of the wolf’s face. His warm body made me feel comfortable. Even though this mysterious man was now in the form of a wolf, I could still see his crooked smile that I often saw.

Being mates, we both had to go through a marking procession. It was a procession of giving a sign for the male to his partner. Besides, did it mean I have to marry him?

(You want me to marry you first?) The wolf asked with a mysterious male voice echoing inside my head.

"Stop reading my mind. I need a place to think to myself."

(You can’t. You’re so open and I can read everything like an open book)

"I don’t know. I’ve only met you a few times, but you suddenly said that we are mates. I don’t want to believe you, but it feels... there’s this strange feeling that makes me always want to believe you."

The wolf moved away from my body then turned back into the mysterious man. I looked up to see the figure of a man who was now standing towering in front of me.

The man held out his hand. "Follow your instincts, and I will make you a free woman in this world."

Free? Did that mean I didn’t have to go back to the castle anymore? Then... I didn’t have to worry about being interrogated by father and mother every night anymore? Did that mean I am free to run around without being followed? Did being free mean I could do whatever my heart desires?

Free... what price did I have to pay to get it?

"Cecillia, be my mate and I will make you happy forever."

I looked at his outstretched hand. I still didn’t know the man’s name. I still didn’t know who his parents were and what he did for a living. Then... what did he do until he got the mate of a human?

"I am-"

I stood up quickly then pulled his neck and gave a kiss on the lips to stop him from talking. I knew that my actions were very impolite and that kissing like this should have been done by a couple who loved each other, but I wanted to silence the man.

Even though my curiosity was gnawing at me, I didn’t want to hear his name. I didn’t want that man to be hurt by my father.

Then, I felt a tight embrace pulling my body closer. He hugged me tighter, making our bodies touch each other.

I didn’t want to think about anything. His soft lips moved in a strange way, leaving me breathless. I could only moan softly when his big hands touched my neck to force me to look up. His kiss was wet, and it awakened something in me that I couldn’t explain.

"W-what are you doing!?" I shouted in surprise when he touched something that should not be touched by other people.

The man seemed not to understand my words. He pulled my neck once again and kissed me again instead. I held his hands to keep them on my waist and not go down any lower.

I didn’t understand why a kiss made me feel almost crazy. His breath was a little heavy as he released his lips and gave a lot of soft kisses on my neck. It felt like numerous butterflies kissing my body and took me flying high with the scent of wood that enveloped me.

I flinched in surprise when he did the same thing as before. Giving soft bites on my neck, which strangely became very sensitive every time the man touched me.

"Ah..."

"Cecil, give me your answer," the man whispered right in my earlobe.

I didn’t know what kind of answer I should give. I wanted to always be in his warm embrace. I also wanted to be free, but I was afraid of the consequences that I had to pay to get that freedom.

"Sir..."

"You can call me..."

I shut the man’s mouth again. This time, I only used my palm.

"Please don’t tell me your name. Even though I’m very curious, I don’t want to hear it."

"Okay, call me whatever you want."

I pushed him away for a moment to get some fresh air so I could think clearly.

"Give me time until next month’s full moon. I’ll give you my answer," I said firmly.

The man didn’t blink as if he could already read that I would give such an answer.

"Okay... I’ll wait patiently."

He bent down slightly and placed a soft kiss on my lips, making me close my eyes again.

"I will return you to the castle tonight. One more month. I will wait another month."
