Chapter 22 Answer

“You must have bewitched me, which is why I was so anxious to come back, just to see you!” Leon put his arm around my waist and gave me an unexpected deep kiss. When his soft and cold lips touched mine, I felt his enthusiasm and sincerity. Once again, I was captivated by him. The original feeling of being lost instantly turned into cheerfulness, and his kiss, like warm sunshine, melted all the coldness in my heart.

I was shocked by the faint smell of blood coming from his clothes. Was Leon hurt? No, it wasn’t his smell. Perhaps someone was hurt at his hands. Has anyone been tortured by him again?

Queen Catherine coughed gently, reminding us that there were people watching. Leon let go of my hand and turned to look at Catherine. “Mother, I’m glad to see you here!”

“Nice to meet you, my son!” Catherine smiled and looked at us at the same time. “People say that when a boy becomes a man, he will forget his mother because there will be another woman occupying his heart. This shows that this sentence is really true!”

I suddenly felt a burning sensation in my ears. Although Catherine was only joking, I still felt a little shy. “Mother, you will always be my most respected person!” Leon said and bent down to kiss the back of Catherine’s hand.

“You are also my favorite child forever!” Catherine said in a kind tone, stealing a glance at me. “So, my son, aren’t you going to say something to me? When I got up early in the morning, I heard all kinds of voices in my ear. Can you explain it to me?”

“I reported the situation to my father when I came back just now. Of course, if you want to know now, I don’t mind telling you,” Leon said, looking at me. “If you want to hear it!”

It was obvious that he was addressing me. Leon easily saw through Catherine’s tricks and shrugged helplessly. “The slave of the black wolf has infiltrated the court and tried to poison my mate. Mark is dealing with this matter. Last night, the guards caught some suspects related to the slaves of the black wolf. In the early morning, I executed all of them.” Leon spoke nonchalantly.

I knew he must have deliberately avoided some of the cruel facts. Whenever he talked about killing people, he always had a very relaxed attitude. As I had said before, killing people was as simple as breathing for Leon.

“The black wolf is regarded as an evil creature in the wolf clan and a symbol of darkness. Since the black wolf was destroyed, I thought the wolf clan would be at peace from now on. I didn’t think the supporters of the black wolf would still give up. The slaves of the black wolf are all contractors of dark evil spirits, and they think that destroying the Logan dynasty can bring the black wolf back to life. It’s ridiculous!” Catherine added.

I listened carefully to every word they said, such as slaves of black wolves, dark evil spirits, and so on. These creatures that I thought existed only in horror novels actually existed in my life. I no longer remained suspicious of supernatural beings; on the contrary, I firmly believed in them now. Oh, evil spirits! Why were these things related to me?

“Oh, mom. Thank you for the explanation,” Leon said, trying to suppress his inner discontent. Obviously, he thought Catherine talked too much.

Why did he stop his mother? Why should I not know more about the Black Wolf?

I hate how much he keeps from me. And most of them involve him. And every time I could get no answer from him.

In spite of my expectation of his appearance, I was disconcerted when he interrupted the Queen as she was addressing me. He is always so overbearing, and there is nothing I can do about him.

I hate being the passive partner in a relationship.

I became aware of the uncomfortable inequality of status between us. I wish I could talk to him about our unequal relationship. But each time he refused. Perhaps it was because he was a prince that he developed an ego. But I do not want that.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at me. “Now you know everything. Are you satisfied?” I didn’t speak but glanced at Catherine with pleading eyes. Just when she was about to speak up, Leon interrupted her in a cold tone. “Mom, I remember you have tea with Mrs. Bauer at this time every day. Is she sick today?”

“Oh, yes! I almost forgot my appointment with Mrs. Bauer!” Catherine left me with a look of good luck and hurriedly led the maids out of the garden.

“Now, what shall we do with you?” Leon looked at me with condescending eyes. He was angry because I broke his rules again. He remained silent and indifferent, which made him look even more handsome. I couldn’t let him see my thoughts, or he would take advantage of me.

“Sorry!” I pretended to be indifferent and shrugged my shoulders like he did. “It seems like I didn’t do anything wrong, right?”

“Don’t use your cleverness on me, especially through my mother!” Leon said and carried me on his shoulder. Again! And in broad daylight!

“Stop! Put me down!” I flailed my arms and legs wildly on his shoulders.

Leon slapped my ass hard with his other hand, causing me to feel both pain and excitement. “If you move again, I’ll just put you in the grass and fuck you hard!” he said, walking with steady steps.

I dared not move now. After all, he was a man of his word. I wondered how he was going to punish me.

I was really afraid he was going to fuck me up here. But he was a prince, and there was nothing he did not dare.

His overbearing manner occasionally charmed and occasionally frightened me. I feel conflicted and tormented.

To fall in love with such a man is both serene and thrilling.
