Chapter 195
1628words
In the realm where Alpha King Yasha and Gina first met, the love between Zyrus and Christal started to bloom despite the harsh environment they lived in before. Not hours, nor days but months have passed since they got trapped inside. After their heartful talk with each other that night, the full moon gazing upon them, they started to interact with each other once again.
But this time, no more lies. No more heartbreaks.
At least not until the curse takes place.
But it wasn't easy at first. Christal tends to get nervous during the first month they stayed together in that small cave, but who can blame her? Zyrus was way too passionate to show his love to Christal as if he was holding a billboard filled with Christal's face in it in front of her.
There were times where she would get flustered and nervous that Zyrus won't obey the rule they had before.
Christal stares at Zyrus's bare back while he cooked in front of her, her elbow resting on the chair beside her, she couldn't help but think just how can Zyrus control his desire despite being alone with her.
She let out a silent sigh.
'It's weird, am I missing something? why is my mate actually obeying that stupid rule I made by myself months ago?' She curses under her breath, fighting with her thoughts.
It's been several months that they've been together in that place, and although she told him that she forbids sexual contact, she had always thought that the dominant side of Zyrus would eventually give out after a few weeks.
Unfortunately, Zyrus obeyed that rule- too well for his own good.
She remembers the time they first slept together.
{"We.. are sleeping together?"} Christal crosses her arm.
Zyrus chuckles, {"There is no other bed, love. And haven't we made up yet? why are you being sensitive again?"}
Christal groans in annoyance.
There were a lot of angels and demons going around Christal's head at that time, a part of her wants Zyrus so bad that she would dare to break the rule she made herself yet there's also a part of her where she was still a bit traumatized from what she experiences with Charles that even scars were left around her body till today.
'Why would i be sensitive? who knows what you'll do!' Christal thought.
{"Fine, but you shall not touch me."} She says in a firm tone, locking eyes with Zyrus who snuggled on the bed.
He pats the place beside him, giving her a reassuring smile. {"Don't worry, I'll do whatever you want me to do."}
She didn't know at that time how much she'll regret those words afterwards.
Just like that, they spent their nights beside each other, limiting their contact with each other embrace, and Christal would always expect something from the beast beside her- so a lot of sleepless nights slapped her in the face each morning.
It didn't help that Zyrus was refusing to touch her, it made her angrier to herself just how could she think of such a stupid rule before?
There were times where she would constantly bump her head in a nearby tree whenever Zyrus went out for hunting.
She bit her lower lip in anguish, 'Damn it, I'm really such an idiot. Why can't I just throw my pride away even after having this tasty meal in front of me?!'
Christal snaps out of her thought when Zyrus walks away from his spot, pulling out a plate, he carefully lays down the food he had made for her. After making sure it was perfectly cooked, he nods his head in confirmation and turned towards Christal who was currently drooling like an idiot while staring at him.
"Christal?" Zyrus laughs at her.
"It's not fair." She pouts.
"What is?"
"Why are you so perfect?"
He laughs again, not because of her face but because of how adorable his mate was acting. It was not the first time she said those words, yet his smile would always pop up whenever she compliments him like that.
He lays down the food on the table. "My mate is more perfect than i am."
She rolls her eyes.
"What? I'm not lying." He sits down in front of her. "There's no other woman more beautiful than the woman in front of me, I can look at you every day and not get tired of it, now eat your food."
"Yeah yeah." She mumbles due to her sexual frustration and munched down her food grumpily.
The table only had one place currently due to the fact that Zyrus can live on without food for years but not Christal, who has an unstable soul at the moment. She needed food to survive, and because Christal can't cook or even catch prey after several tries, Zyrus ended up doing every chore for her. In the end, he never did once complain
He was more than happy to do everything for her.
"Is it bad?" Zyrus frowns, noticing how she was looking like she didn't like the food.
She opened her eyes, "What? no. It's good, as always."
"Then why is my pretty mate frowning? you've been doing that a lot these past few days, haven't we talked about this before? We shouldn't hold any secrets from each other and be open about everything." He said sternly.
'It's because you won't have sex with me!' Christal screams in her thoughts. But of course, she couldn't say that so she continued stabbing her food and stuffing it all in her mouth.
She then swallows everything aggressively.
"It's nothing." Is what she ended up saying, a little out of breath.
"Christal, I can't help you if you won't talk to me." He said in a worried voice, placing his palm on my right hand.
"It's nothing really, it's not that important. I'm sorry for being rude, I know you've been nursing me like I'm some baby ever since we arrived here. It's already been several months yet we still haven't fought or anything since that day, I should be at least considerate so I shouldn't ask for more."
It was true. Despite being sexually frustrated, there wasn't a time where she had a problem with him. Zyrus was the perfect partner she could ever ask for judging by how they spent their days together in the realm of the Moon Goddess's domain
and she could tell, just how happy Zyrus was just being beside her.
She smiles at him, "You know what. We've been so easygoing these days that i can almost forget everything behind us. But Zyrus, can we really do that? Can we be happy like this when all those people are suffering right now?"
Zyrus frowns, this was something he had avoided to talk about. He knew how bad the mood will turn whenever Christal tries to talk about those things in front of him- it was not because he didn't care for his people that he didn't want to go back anymore but because he had always had this fear where Christal would go somewhere far away once they go back to their world
Just that thought angered him.
He frowns. "Haven't we talked about this before? We can wait until that god appears."
"We can't wait like that, what if I'm wrong? what if the time here is actually the same in the real world?"
"I'm sure it's different." He closes his eyes, a bit irritated.
"Aren't you worried?
"Why should i? I have competent men, I believe in them."
"Right." She lowers her head, reminded of her pack members who are still in the hands of Charles's territory.
And there's that worry where she's confused why she can't feel a damn thing from the soul-binding ritual with Charles after she got trapped inside the realm, she could not feel anything coming from Charles and she hoped it was the same for him.
She didn't want Charles to feel what she was feeling right now. If one can describe it in one word- it would be happiness.
Christal and Zyrus's stay in that small cave mended their relationship back, even making it stronger than before. Because of that, Christal had no reason to upset him thus giving both of them the love they both wanted.
It was the perfect place to fall in love.
But their favorite place to visit was the small lake beside them. Most of the time, they would dip into the water without clothes- just enjoying themselves watching the sunset or even the moon shining above them.
They stared at it in awe, Zyrus arms wrapped around her, her back on his chest.
"I can never get tired soaking here." She smiles.
Upon hearing her, Zyrus returns a smile and tightened her hold around her body, placing his chin on his mate's shoulder. "Me too, i can never get tired of being with you."
She chuckles, "Aren't you saying that word too often?"
"Why? I just wanted to remind you that I'm happy with such a simple thing. If you want to make me happy, just be beside me that's all."
She gulps.
"Then.. touch me."
Zyrus's eyes widened. "What did you say?"
"Touch me!" She turns around to face him, wrapping her arms around his neck. "I don't care about that stupid rule anymore-"
Zyrus didn't let her finish her words anymore as he placed his lips against hers, his built-up desire finally exploding as soon as he retracted her words from before. She kisses him back passionately, pulling away from him, only to lean on his ears.
She whispers in a playful tone. "Should we stop?"
His eyes started to darken in lust.
"Mine!"
