Chapter 257 The Conversation About Vespera
Thorin kept staring at Corvin with wide eyes and an open mouth. This night was giving him shock after shock. First he found Eve, then he lost Eve; he found her home, found that she had a daughter, but Eve did not remember him. And Corvin was telling him something that was beyond his comprehension.
Vespera was a sweet, polite, kind girl. She even agreed with him not to force their mate bond. They both gave each other space to find true love. He knew Vespera was in love with him and wanted to spend her whole life with him, but she was never pushy. True, she tried to kiss him once and pleaded with him to kiss her, but that all ended up badly. He somehow ended up using his power without even wanting to.
And now Corvin was telling him that she planned to drug him. That was impossible. Vespera was never going to do anything like that. Could she? No, Thorin was sure of that. She was never going to do that. She was not even capable of doing that. She was a strong wolf, yet she never even tried to hurt a fly.
But again, tonight she was ready to slap Eve and kept shouting at her for just soiling her shoes. Vespera was not someone who cared about material things. She had money, a lot of money. Why would she care about a pair of shoes?
“Wh…at? N…o! Ho…w? That is not possible. You must have heard something wrong,” stammered Thorin, shocked.
“No, I am not wrong. I hear the thoughts of her friend,” replied Corvin.
“Thought of her friend, what?” asked Thorin.
“You know, the day she found you in the college corridor and called you her mate?” asked Corvin. Thorin nodded, and Corvin continued, “That day she asked me not to read her mind, not to use my powers on her. And after that day, even if I try, it’s like someone, something pulls me back from her mind. I want to, but at the same time don’t want to read her mind, hear her thoughts. Eve is the only one immune to my powers. I really want to hear everything, but I hear nothing. It’s completely blank. But in the case of Vespera, some invisible force keeps talking to me not to get into her brain.
“So, when we sensed Eve standing before Vespera, when you almost ran after her. Vespera looked at her friend. I saw a small packet in her friend Graceline’s thoughts. I saw her handing her the packet. And Graceline kept laughing at the back of her head, thinking that Vespera was finally going to kiss you, make you hers. I think she was going to try to sleep with you. Then you have to marry her. You cannot run from her after that. You know that, right?”
“What? No, no, no! You are wrong. That is impossible. Vespera can’t do that. She is so… so nice. Everyone likes her. Everyone who has met her likes her. Have you ever heard anyone complain about her? She even agreed to all my nonsense. She agreed to let me go if I ever found true love. She agreed that she will not let the mate bond pull us back or bind us in a stupid agreement. We are free to do anything we want. We are just friends. She knows that. The night she asked me to kiss her, and after I used my power, she stopped pestering me. She fell back into the role of friend. She has been patiently waiting for five years. Why would she do this now? You are wrong. Or maybe I took her for granted for a long time, and she is just fed up. That’s why she acted this way. Maybe I should talk to her,” Thorin kept thinking aloud and trying to make Corvin understand that he was misunderstanding Vespera.
“Thorin! Do you have any feelings for Vespera? Are you feeling guilty now?” asked Corvin.
“That’s the thing, Corvin. I… don’t feel guilty, but at the same time I do feel guilty. I have been upfront with Vespera. I have told her that even if she is my fated mate, I don’t want someone else to find a person for me. I want to find that person for myself on my own. And my heart found Eve. I love her, even though she does not remember me, I love her and will always love her. I have said Vespera that she will be my friend. I treat her like my friend, but after seeing how she was still waiting for me to fall in love with her, I feel a little guilty. I want her to find someone else because after finding Eve, after kissing her again, I have realised one thing, I am never going to love anyone else. If not Eve, there will be no one else.”
“So, what are you going to do? What about Eve? If she does not remember you, what are you going to do? And what about Vespera? Are you going to talk to her? Are you going to ask her about the drug?” asked Corvin.
Thorin covered his face with his hands and rubbed it harshly, as if something heavy was sitting on his face, and he was trying to get rid of it. But even after wiping, the heaviness was still there.
“I… I don’t know. First, contact every spy and ask them the details of their finding method. Ask them how, even after five years, they had no result yet; in the few days that we arrived, we found Eve. Next, put someone on Vespera. Get the details about her elder sister. I have never paid attention to Vespera. It’s high time we find out everything about her,” ordered Thorin.
“What do you mean?” asked Corvin.
“Did you just hear what I said about Vespera, how I described her?” asked Thorin.
“Yes, what about it?”
“Now that I think of it, no one has ever said a bad word about Vespera. Whoever meets with her only has good words to say about her. Are we missing something? We have been living on this earth for so many years, yet we have had fights, we have cursed our friends, we have had enemies. But Vespera… there is no one. Even Irani and Halsha. Those girls don’t like anyone, yet they like Vespera. Do you think something is wrong?” asked Thorin.
“But Vespera didn’t like Eve. She was snapping at her. She was outright ready to slap her,” said Corvin.
“Well, Eve is so frustrating. First she kept herself hidden, and now she says that she has no memory. Moon Goddess! What am I going to do with her?” shouted Thorin, furious.
“So you mean to say that Vespera trying to slap her was a good thing?” teased Corvin.
“Shut up! If Vespera had touched her, I swear to every god there is, I would have ripped her arms off her body. But who is Eve? We have never seen her in the office,” said Thorin.
“We will find it out tomorrow. Let’s go!” said Corvin. Thorin looked at the house for one more second and walked off with Corvin.
