Chapter 147 - Wild Beast

I ask myself.

"what is this warm feeling?"

I open my eyes, to see that I'm in my bedroom, I then look to my side and see Hope curled up next to me, I then think to myself.

"the academy must have granted her an emergency family leave."

I look to the side of the bed and Ellena sleeping sitting down on a chair while holding my hand, I then ask myself, not remembering what happened after Ying killed the creature.

"how did I get here."

I sit up and touch my ribs.

"huh, I guess I got healed."

I sigh and even though I get out of bed slowly, so I don't wake up Hope, Ellena still manages to wake up, and gleefully sits up from the chair to hug me.

"I was so worried about you, when Ying and Celeste brought you to me in such a bad condition."

I ask.

"what do you mean brought me to you? didn't they take me to healers?"

she shakes her head.

"when they couldn't do anything to heal you, Celeste brought you to me and I tool care of you."

I ask curiously.

"what do you mean."

she whispers so Hope doesn't hear in case she wakes up.

"remember when I took care of you wounds in that cave we were hiding?"

I smile.

"on, okay I see."

I kiss her.

"thank you, my love."

she then starts sobbing.

"I thought I was going to lose you."

I hug her tightly and say.

"it wouldn't be my first time dying."

"was your death on you previous life quick?"

I reply.

"yeah I didn't suffer before dying."

she pulls away and then clears her throat to say.

"well anyways, King Dave wants to speak with you and everyone else regarding that mission they had you do."

I reply.

"okay."

she then says.

"oh and your friend Celeste is downstairs, sleeping on the couch."

I respond.

"has she been waiting long?"

she answers.

"she's been here ever since she brought you, and has been here waiting for you to wake up."

I ask.

"how long was I out?"

she replies.

"for a day or so."

I then apologize to Ellena.

"I'm sorry for making you worry about me."

she hugs me once again and says.

"I'm your wife, it's pretty much my job to always worry about you."

after kissing once again, I make my way downstairs, to a sleeping Celeste, I sigh and think to myself.

"maybe I should let her rest."

Celeste instantly replies, making me jump in surprise.

"it's fine, I'm already well rested Master Collin."

I take a moment to calm myself and reply.

"it's still scary that you can read minds even when you are sleeping."

she gets up from the couch and start hugging me tightly, while sobbing into my shoulders.

"idiot, I thought we lost you."

I gently stroke the back her head and say.

"but thanks to you, I'm still alive."

she lifts her head, so that we are making eye contact, she then says with a flushed face.

"you know, when I thought you were dead, a feeling of regret came over me."

I then think myself.

"oh no, what is up with this development."

she continues.

"when you were, in your bed recovering, me and Ellena had a little talk."

I ask nervously.

"what kind of talk?"

she replies with her face turning bright red.

"well the thing is, after Ellena healed you, uh you were up an moving for a couple of hours before passing out."

confused on what she is going on about, I ask.

"okay I don't remember any of that, but what does that have to do with this little talk you had with Ellena?"

she continues with her face still beet red.

"after telling me that you were healed I went to check on you and or some reason you turned into a wild beast."

I ask in a serious tone.

"did I transform into a werewolf."

she shakes her head while covering her face with her hands, trying to hide her embarrassment.

"no."

still confused I reply.

"I don't understand."

she leans in close with her face and plants a kiss on me and says.

"I don't understand what happened, but you went wild on both me and Ellena."

I finally get what she is saying, and my mind gets filled with guilt.

"No, not only did I betray my wife, I also did it while in the presence of another woman."

I clear my throat, trying to get what she was trying to tell me.

"so what did you and Ellena talk about."

she answers with a serious expression.

"about you taking in a second wife, and she was okay with it."

I ask still shocked about this unexpected development.

"she did?"

I then hear Ellena answer from behind me, with a formal tone.

"yes I'm okay with it, since I come from royalty, I fully understand about someone of your stature having multiple partners."

I ask.

"are you sure?"

she makes a cute pouting face.

"when she brought it up at first, I was against it but."

I swallow feeling even more nervous and ask

"but what?"

she answers, twirling her hair nervously.

"when you went multiple rounds with both us, while we were both present, it made me realize that I'm okay with it, as long as it is Celeste and not some random woman."

unable to utter any words, I just look to ceiling wondering to myself, questioning life, and crying in my soul.

"if there is a God, can I ask you something? do you hate me? if not why can't I remember something so amazing?"

Ellena walks up to us to kiss me and says.

"so from here on out, please take good care of us."

Celeste then clears her throat.

"so why don't we head on out and see King Dave."

she pauses and I manage to hear her silently say to herself.

"darling."

she then opens up a portal and says.

"okay Master Collin let's go."

I hold her hand and reply with a smile

"there is no need for the Master part, just call Collin."

she sighs.

"alright, Collin let's go."

as we step inside the portal, I hear Ellena shout.

"I'll see you both later."

I then think to myself feeling overjoyed.

"I can die happy now."
