Chapter 122 - The Down Casted Eyes

"It is alright, if we can not communicate. I know you are sure of what you are doing and I trust you enough to not worry about myself when you are the one who is taking a decision."

"..........."

=====================================

They still do not have the real relationship of alpha and luna so that she could understand his thoughts and he could not turn into a human to explain to her. The thought made him feel the flaw of their relationship for the first time.

The relationship of alpha and luna did not bind two wolves in marriage but it also connected them. They could track each other if lost, feel each other's presence from afar and even hear each other's thoughts and feel their emotions.

Too bad! He had never found his mate. Many think that his mate might be human or a witch that was why, instead of being the emperor, he had traveled as a convoy in the human world and the witch's clan to see if he would find a mate there but failed miserably. That was why he offered Hazel to be his mate. It would end their speculations and her voyages forever.

And she was a girl with motives, not the one who only cared about her dress and looks like other humans or fight and possession like witches. He did not have an affinity for any of them.

All he wanted was to go back and rule his empire and make sure that they were living a better life. But before that he would help her in getting her revenge.

"It is alright, if we can not communicate. I know you are sure of what you are doing and I trust you enough to not worry about myself when you are the one who is taking a decision."

Her words halted him for a second when she showed her immense trust in him. The negative thoughts that had started to swirl in his mind vanished immediately. But it made him feel more agitated. The emotions were still not letting him go.

Her grip on his fur tightened a bit when they entered the town. She could see the people walking here and there. The ladies were holding the hands of their kids while having bags in their other hands filled with vegetables and fruits. 

The men were going back from their work while talking and chatting with each other. It was a peaceful atmosphere but she was not sure how they would react when they saw a girl riding a wolf between them.

But surprisingly, no one even turned to look at them as if they were invisible. The kids walked past her. The girls walked so close to her but no one even passed her a glance or tried to touch them.

To her surprise even knights who were taking rounds to ensure the safety and peace of that area did not pass them a single gaze. She blinked when they had already walked past the lane but not a single one reacted.

After crossing a bit more distance, her eyes fell on the line of carriages which were mostly given on rent.

"Hey, there are carriages for rent. We can go and hire one!" she told Richard as she pointed at one of them but he did not stop.

He continued to walk leisurely upto a distance before he started running again and Hazel rolled her eyes. She forgot that he had to behave as a human all this time so he must be enjoying his freedom too.

It only took them a few more minutes to reach the palace with their speed. She could see a large line of carriages at the entrance of the place and a lot of people were alighting out of it.

Passing through them, she scanned their faces. There were all the higher or lower nobles that surprised her. She had thought that many higher nobles would ignore the invitation like in the past but each and everyone had come. 

Even the twin sisters were there whom she had taught a lesson in the market. Though they were looking too meek now than that time.

She saw her father and sister welcoming the guests enthusiastically while her mother was just sitting on the corner table enjoying her drink as if she had nothing to do with them.

"I can walk from here. Just slow down for a minute." she whispered as his speed was still a bit fast. She was sure she would fall on her face if she wanted to jump. It would be similar to jumping from a running carriage. Not to forget that her legs were each on one side. So, even bringing them to one side seems difficult with his speed.

"Since we are already in the palace, I can walk." she added again but the wolf did not slow down or turned to look at her as if he would not hear her. She pursued her lips but did not ask again as she knew that he was ignoring her words.

Soon they reached the inner part of the palace and he ran towards the stairs. She could see the maids running here and there with dishes and other work. The whole palace seemed to be too busy and only she was left with her muddy dress.

Soon they took stairs and walked to their room. She had to hold tightly when he ran on the stairs and finally they reached the room.

He only stopped when they had reached the  bed and she finally stood up. 

"Wow! That was too thrilling. I never thought that it would be so fun. I do not think that I would ever enjoy the carriage anymore." she shook her head as she sat on the edge of the bed when he changed his form and turned into human again.

He shook his head that had been full of sweat while the edges of his clothes had turned muddy like her.

"Then you can always ride me again." she raised her head and looked at his soulful gaze with sparkling eyes.

"Really! I thought that I was fat and you would have been tired with only one ride. But if you are offering me then i would not hesitate to enjoy the luxury once again! Who would have thought that I would get the chance to ride a beast. That is also a ferocious one!" her eyes sparkled and she slapped with joy filled eyes that he blinked.

She was like a kid who was enjoying the new toy that she had not expected to receive.

He had thought that she would shout or scream or would be dizzy once she stood up. As he had ran with full speed, it was not easy for humans to handle it.,

Though he had run at full speed with her before too but that time she was not conscious. If it would have been anyone else they would have been puking their guts out but look at the girl. 

She is looking like she wants to enjoy it again at the very moment.

He shook his head as he still did not understand her. Every time he thought that he knew enough about her, she showed one more side of her that was completely different from the previous ones.

"You should go and get ready. The guests had already come. If you will not go down, they will start talking about you that could affect your plans negatively!" he pointed and she nodded.

She coughed and closed her eyes but when she opened them again, her calm and composed face was back.

"I will go and get ready in a while but before that i wanted to know one thing." she looked back at him with some hesitation as she did not know if she should ask him or not.

Though he had never talked about it, he did show her his real form, so he must not mind telling her. Would he?

She did not know but she was very curious about the fact that she still could not believe it.

"That is not magic. And I do not know any kind of magic." he turned and took out his coat as he replied nonchalantly and she blinked. She wanted to ask further but since he cut her short, she did not ask again and tried to walk towards the washroom to change her clothes and get ready.

But when he looked at her downcasted fell he rubbed his forehead. That was something only a mythical creature should know but he could not see her getting so upset over such a small thing.

He took a deep sigh as he parted his lips and told her,

"Since humans did not know about our existence they could not see any mythical creature if he had shapeshifted to his beast form because of their invisibility veil.

Since you were riding over me, I used the veil to cover you too. But if you would ask me to make you invisible I can not do that!"
