Chapter 52 - Marry Me

"Pardon! For a minute I heard that you want to marry me." an awkward laugh left her lips but it died when she saw his expressionless serious face. He tilted his head as he looked at her, failing to understand why she was laughing!

"You.. are you serious?" she asked as she choked on his words. His eyes narrowed on his face as if he was trying to ask what was so funny about it! And nodded his head.

"Do you think I was joking?" she felt more embarrassed when he asked it that way and she shook her head.

"No! I am not sure how to reply to you! I still don't know why you want to marry me!?" she replied as she took a deep breath.

The man's eyes, which were darker than whirlpool, looked back at her but he did not say a word. The more she looked at him, the more she felt that she would lose her sense of thinking! 

She coughed to clear her throat but he did not take away his gaze. Heat started to rise on her cheeks but she did not know how to explain that to her savior.

"I want to go back and take my revenge. I did not think about getting married any time sooner!" she finally replied as she looked back at him and collected all her strength. 

"Everyone of you, leave!" His words came out so cold that the maids shivered. They bowed their heads and left after a few seconds.  The door was closed with a thud bringing her back to her senses. His gaze stayed on her all this time but Finally the man opened his mouth with a cold smirk,

"What if I say that I will help you in every way to get your revenge? And I will make sure that they will suffer as you want. The whole empire will be yours. And the ministry, in which he worked would bow down in front of you?" Hazel's heart palpitated the way he talked about it.

If anyone else would have said that, she would have laughed at him. But the man standing in front of her had such a noble aura that she was sure he had the capacity to do so! He had the capacity to do anything he wanted!

"Why do you want to marry me? Moreover, why do you want to help me?" she asked as she knew being with him was playing with fire. A man of his caliber could not be interested in her on a whim? But no matter how she thinks, she did not seem to remember meeting him ever. Even in her past life, she was sure that they had never crossed paths!

The man's gaze flickered when he heard her question. No matter how many times he ignored it, she seemed to be hellbent on asking him the same question, until her query was solved!

He closed his eyes but when he opened it, his serene blue eyes were gone and left were the golden blazing eyes that were full of flames that could burn her too.

"I have told you many times that I owe you my life!" came his voice, but it was not his own. His hands slowly started to change, his elegant and long fingers were changed with paws and his face started to fill with furry hair.

In the blink of a second, the handsome and cold man standing in front of her changed into a beast she could recognize even in her dreams yet she was not able to believe that it actually happened in front of her eyes.

Her lips parted but not a single voice came out. Her eyes were so wide open as if it would fall any second on the floor. She continued to look at the scene in front of her in disbelief. Moving her hands towards her cheeks, she slapped herself hard.

"Slapp" the sound of her slap rang in the whole room. But her frozen body still did not move an inch.

"You!! What are you?" a human or a beast!?' She may seem silly but her mind was still not ready to accept that a human turned into a beast in front of her that was also in the blink of her eyes.

The beast tilted his head and looked at her with his blazing eyes. It took slow and lazy steps towards her but she instinctively took a step back when she saw him moving towards her.

"Owwwww" he howled in a soft tone as if complaining to her for her cold and rude behavior.

She was dumbfounded at the way he showed his right over her, yet she controlled her fears and stood there silently. 

Satisfied with her obedience, the beast left a soft moan and tried to smile. But it only showed his bare canines that froze her to death. Cold sweat started to fill her body and she gulped.

She always wanted to meet the wolf again but never in her thoughts had she known that she was with him all this time. The beasts are deadly and the nobles are cruel! Yet he was both at once! Could she trust a man like him?

He looked at her fear filled face as he stood in front of her. He knew she was not ready, that was why he was controlling himself. But her adamant self was not ready to give up and now she was behaving so scared that he did not know how to coax the little girl in front of him.

He tilted his head and then opened his mouth. Her mouth turned agape and she was about to scream when he took his tongue out and licked her hands with his calloused tongue as if he was trying to show her that he was pretty docile when it comes to her.

"Do you want me to pat you, little friend?"
