Chapter 17 Still not in love

Chapter 17 Still not in love
Leondra took Henary to a rather eerie forest. The forest seemed deserted, with not even a single wild animal in sight.

"I will train you here," said Leondra with a smile.

Henary looked around the forest, calm but quite creepy.

"This forest seems uninhabited, except for wild plants," said Henary.

"That's right, and in this forest, the power of witches will weaken, and they may not even be able to use their powers. So they won't be able to stop you," explained Leondra.

"But, Leondra. We are also descendants of the wizard clan, so automatically your power and mine won't be able to be used," replied Henary.

"That's if they are pure descendants of wizards, but we are different. I am the same as you. At first, my mother was just an ordinary human," Leondra tried to explain everything to Henary.

"Really?" said Henary enthusiastically.

"If that's the case, let's practice now. I can't wait," he continued.

Leondra chuckled softly, seeing Henary's enthusiasm.

"Not now. Maybe the day after tomorrow we'll practice here. You just recovered, I don't want anything else to happen to you. And we also need a strategy," replied Leondra, stroking Henary's head.

Actually, this forest was commonly used by vampires to perform vitual. The power of vampires would double in this forest.

"All right, I'll obey your words," Henary replied with a slight smile.

"That stupid wolf will definitely not give up, even if we manage to get the witches to not seal your power. He will definitely find another way to prevent you from obtaining that power," explained Leondra.

"I didn't expect Alpha Almarjaf to be that evil," muttered Henary.

"Actually, I also have a bad feeling," said Leondra without looking at Henary.

"What is it, Leondra? Tell me," said Henary, holding Leondra's hand.

"That stupid wolf is coming here," replied Leondra, looking at Henary.

"Aren't we in Vampire territory now? It's impossible for Alpha Almarjaf to come here, that's like declaring war on the Vampires," said Henary.

"You forgot that Xiof is still helping that wolf. That witch can use her powers to make a potion so that the wolves' scent won't be detected by the vampires for a long time, and it's very likely that he will find us here," explained Leondra.

"Isn't there any other place for us to hide?" said Henary with a worried look on his face.

Leondra sighed. "It's useless for us to hide, he'll still try to get you. I can sense that the stupid Wolf already knows everything about you."

"Leondra, but I don't want to go back to Alpha Almarjaf. That Wolf has hurt me too much. Isn't there a quick way to take all my sealed power?" asked Henary.

"There is one way. You must marry the man you love, then have intercourse. That is the quickest way I know," Leondra replied.

Henary stared at Leondra, as if he didn't fully believe what she was saying.

"If you don't believe me, I won't force you. But that's the truth," said Leondra.

"And the reason your parents arranged your marriage is because they owe the Wolves a debt of gratitude," she continued.

"Why do you know so much about me?" asked Henary, staring at Leondra.

"Do you want to know the truth?" Henary answered with a nod.

"Do you remember the young man who helped you escape from the thugs?" said Leondra with a small smile.

"Yes. Of course I remember, he was very kind to me. Don't tell me that man was you," replied Henary with a surprised look on her face.

"That's right. That was me, and at that time I was already very interested in you," said Leondra with a smile.

"But why did you suddenly disappear?" asked Henary with a sad look on her face.

"If only you hadn't disappeared, maybe you could have helped me stop my wedding to Alpha Almarjaf," she continued.

"That's what I regret, because I couldn't help you. At that time, I was serving a sentence for breaking my family's rules. I couldn't go anywhere," explained Leondra with a look of regret on her face.

In fact, at that time, besides serving his sentence, Leondra was also meditating to increase his strength because he was going to be made king.

"It's okay, I didn't know you were also in trouble. But now we meet again, and you're helping me again," replied Henary, hugging Leondra tightly.

"Yes. After I was freed, I came back to look for you. Hearing the news that you were married broke my heart," said Leondra.

"But I never stopped watching over you. It's just that I couldn't act quickly to help you because your power was still weak. When I heard that you were going to be killed, I didn't think about my own life and decided to save you," he continued.

Leondra wasn't entirely lying; she really didn't care about her life at that moment.

"Leondra. Thank you," Henary whispered.

"I won't force you to return my feelings. It's enough that you're by my side, and I know you're okay. That's more than enough," said Leondra as she held Henary's shoulders so he would look at her.

Henary was silent because he was also confused about his feelings. Leondra had been very kind, but his heart was not yet fully able to love her.

"It's useless for me to force you if your heart is reluctant to do so. I want you to love me sincerely," said Leondra.

"I'm sorry, Leondra. I can't return your feelings yet," said Henary softly.

"I know that, that's why I offered to be your mistress. You've been with that stupid Wolf for too long," replied Leondra with a chuckle.

"But I don't love Alpha Almarjaf anymore either," said Henary.

"You can call him a stupid wolf if you don't love him anymore. Don't respect him, because he doesn't respect you either," grumbled Leondra with an annoyed expression.

"Okay," replied Henary with a slight smile.

"I'm serious, I really don't love that Wolf anymore. Especially since he betrayed me with another woman," she continued.

"Then, if that Wolf had never betrayed you with another woman, would you forgive him and go back to him?" asked Leondra, who got no answer from Henary.

"Damn it! Henary didn't answer, which means he's really going back to that stupid Wolf," Leondra fumed inwardly.

"If Henary knew that Earl was dead, he might give Almarjaf a chance," she continued, clenching her fists to hold back her emotions.
