Chapter 162: Home

***Slightly MATURE At The End***

"Hmm! I never realized it was so beautiful either." Ramose said, his gaze fixed on his mate.

Versailles disdainfully sneered at his blatant attempt to flirt with her. The wolf was anxious because she ignored him. She knew this, but Versailles didn't feel like reconciling with him.

Does ignoring him out of displeasure even require reconciliation?

Versailles didn't know. At the moment, she only felt peeved at Ramose for being so close to another female beast for over 10 years. That too, one that had feelings for him to boot!

"So what if it's beautiful. With the passage of time, it'll turn dull and boring. At that time, one can always find more alluring beauties."

"Huh?" Ramose blinked. Were he and his mate on the same topic?

"Nothing."

That's where Versailles's insecurity came from. Ramose didn't seem to know anything about what was going on around him. He lived in a world of his own, free from the seduction and allure of the other female beasts around him.

But how long would this last? Sooner or later, he would come out of his shell and see the females around him. With the passage of time, her beauty would wear out on him and he would get bored of her. With the passage of time, his interest would wane.

At that time, what would she do?

Ramose was a warm-blooded werewolf. He had needs and desires fiercer than her own. Now that he had a taste of mating with a female, it wasn't going to be easy for him to suppress his desires. The Crimson Palace was already full of female beasts just waiting for a chance to bed him.

She hadn't even solved them yet when an obsessed Luciana was added to the mix.

She didn't doubt the wolf's loyalty to his friend, but she didn't trust Luciana's loyalty to her mate. If the Gold Blood used some tricks and trapped Ramose in the allure of her beauty, what would she do then?

Versailles bit her lip and absentmindedly walked through the Valley of Tricks.

What she didn't know was that the entire time she was lost in her thoughts, the Wolf King had his entire focus fixed on her.

He watched his mate ignore him and felt his heart twitch in pain. He wanted to bring her into his arms and ask her what was on her mind. But every time he stretched out his hand, he paused mid-way, afraid his act would make her even angrier. 

The Beta wolves had already slunk away, leaving the two on their own as they wandered through the Blood Red Trees and Crimson Plants, keeping a companionable silence that grew more suffocating and awkward with the passage of time. 

As they waved through another mass of Flame Veins, Versailles's foot got caught in a vein and she tripped and fell backward.

"Ah!" Surprised but not worried, Versailles was about to change into her serpentine form when she felt warm hands grasp her waist. Then her whole body lifted off the ground and she found herself cuddled in Ramose's arms.

"Light, why aren't you speaking to me?" The wolf buried his head in his mate's hair and clung to her as if she would disappear in the next instant.

Versailles's heart moved. She opened her mouth, but not a word came out. Her shoulders slumped powerlessly and she buried her head in her mate's chest.

What was she supposed to say? That she felt angry and jealous because he spent 10 years with another female? That she wasn't confident that she could satisfy his desire? Or that she felt insecure because he could leave her any day for another female?

Even though the two were soulmates of more than three lives, Versailles wasn't confident that love from a forgotten past would be strong enough to influence the love in their present.

She believed that no matter how many lives an individual lived, each and every one of their lives was different from the other because, in each life, a new feeling and new relations were formed.

A past was a past left behind, whereas the present was the beckoning future. And no one can control or change a future yet unseen, unknown.

Ramose pressed his mate closer to his body, his figure trembling from anxiety and extreme distress.

"What did I do to hurt you? Tell me. If you don't tell me, how will I know? And if I don't know what's tormenting you, then how will I fix it?" Ramose felt certain his mate was distressed because of his actions.

Otherwise, she wouldn't ignore him or be so lost in thoughts as to not see the veins in her way.

The only problem was...he didn't know what he did to distress her so.

He soothingly rubbed her back and brought her down to the ground, the Crimson Plants and Flame Bushes hiding their entangled forms as he lifted her head and kissed her soft lips.

The moment their lips touched, Ramose felt his heart melt and the tension leave his body. He pushed her backward and laid her on the ground, covering her slender form with his lean one. With her beneath him, his body instantly heated up and Ramose felt himself harden.

But he breathed deeply and tried to control himself. She was still mad at him and Ramose didn't want to do anything to further upset her. But the moment her warm and tender tongue slinked out and licked his lips, the little control he was trying to maintain crumbled apart.

"Hmm...Light..." Groaning against her lips, Ramose cupped her face and slipped his tongue in her warmth. A flood of sweetness greeted him and his greedy tongue sucked on hers and inhaled her breath as if he wanted to devour her. Electric currents tingled through his brain and body, and Ramose pressed himself closer to her, desperately in need of a release only she could provide.

"Light...I...I want you!" Ramose slid a hand down and cupped her bosom, gently rubbing and gripping the soft, bouncy mound.

But as if splashed with a basin of ice water, Versailles froze and flung her eyes open in shock.

Ramose, ever perceptive of every shift in her emotions or body language, immediately sensed her body stiffen and confusedly opened his glossy eyes. He released her lips and tenderly caressed her cheek.

"Light, what's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable mating with me?"

"Ramose, you want to mate every time because of the heat in your body, right? If one day I'm not able to relieve your heat, are you going to find another female?" Versailles eyes filled with tears as the fear and insecurity in her heart came out in the open.

Ramose's eyes widened in disbelief. As if struck by lightning, he leaped off of her body and looked at her with horror-struck eyes.

"Light, you...how...how can you say something like that!" Veins throbbing and fists clenched, Ramose hissed through clenched teeth. But the anger in his heart faded as suddenly as it had appeared. In its place was only hurt and a strangled cry.

"How can you? Do you not know how much I love you? So how can you say something like that?" His eyes filled with pain as he looked at her with a broken and betrayed expression.

After everything he said and did, he couldn't believe she thought he would bed another.

Versailles's breath caught. She didn't expect Ramose would react so strongly to her questioning. His sudden declaration of wanting her had touched upon the thorn in her heart and made her say the words she would've never otherwise spoken out loud. 

But the pain and hurt in his eyes made her shudder in horror and guilt at what she'd done. It was only now that she realized that she'd crossed a line. One that had not only hurt him but crushed his heart.

"Ramose...I'm sorry...I...I didn't mean to hurt you...I was just..."

"But Light...you have...you've hurt me." Bitter tears fell from his dark eyes, the heart-wrenching pain in their depths consuming Versailles in self-blame and guilt as her own tears followed.

Ramose stretched out his hand and wiped her tears with a frown. Even at this moment when he was the one hurting and in pain, he still couldn't bear to see her in tears. Just when Versailles thought he'd hug her, the wolf turned and rose to his feet, intending to leave.

She grabbed his hand and pulled him down to her side.

"Light, let go. I'll leave but the Betas will take you back to the palace." The wolf didn't want to look at her. Whether he was still nursing his injury or didn't want to see her tear-filled eyes was a mystery.

"Ramose...didn't you want to know why I was ignoring you?" At this, the struggling Wolf King stilled.

"At first, I didn't want to tell you because I was afraid. I was afraid letting you know will make things complicated and uncomfortable. I was also afraid that you will start developing feelings for her. But if I don't tell you, I know that I'll always think about it even if I don't want to. I'll always be afraid of losing you." Versailles cried tearfully.

Ramose looked at his Serpentine Queen in shock.

Afraid of losing him...?

She was afraid of losing him...?

This was the closest she had ever come to telling him she loved him...

Unaware of how her confession had stunned her mate, Versailles continued to pour out her heart.

"That Luciana, she has feelings for you. The two of you have known each other for over 10 years. What if she manages to seduce you when I fail to satisfy you? What if, with the passage of time, you get bored of me and decide to take bedmates? Ramose, I...I don't want to, and I can't share you with any other female. Even if those females would only be relieving your heat, I can't share you with them!" She hissed.

"Idiot! Who wants you to share me with them?" Ramose's shattered heart mended and melted as he grinned. His mate's fierce possessiveness and close love confession wiped out all of his grievances and bitterness.

She only spoke like that because she was jealous...

This thought, more than anything else, made Ramose feel he stood on top of the realms.

"But Ramose, she has feelings for you! And...and I get tired so easily..." The serpentine bowed her head with shame and resentment.

She was still hung up on the fact that she couldn't satisfy her mate.

"Light, do you remember what I said to you before? I said I want to mate with you because when I'm inside you, I feel complete and content. I also said that you're not only the mate of my soul but the mate of my heart as well." He yanked her into his arms and wrapped his arms around her waist, touching their foreheads together.

"I won't lie. You feel really good, Light. But the reason you feel so good is not because of your body, but because both my heart and soul crave and thirst for you. You feel good because when I touch you and I'm inside of you, that deep and agonizing thirst gets quenched." He rubbed her waist and raised his hands to cup both her bosoms.

With an enamored and intoxicated gaze, he deeply stared into her eyes.

"The reason you feel good is because I thirst for you and you alone, Light. I thirst for your scent, your mesmerizing eyes, your breathtaking fire-kissed hair, your gorgeous and soft body, and your intoxicating breath. Light, I thirst for you to the point where I want to mold you, from head to toe, into my very essence." 

Versailles's breath hitched and she instinctively thrust out her chest. Ramose nipped her lips and massaged her bosom, his heart soaring at her beautifully aroused appearance.

"And Light, I don't need to be inside you to feel satisfied. Just holding you in my arms and feeling your warm breath against my skin, makes me content and at peace. You make me satisfied just by being by my side. As for others, even if they laid naked before me, I wouldn't be interested in dirtying myself by touching them."

He tenderly kissed her forehead and touched their noses together, inhaling her warm breath into his lungs. 

"So Light, don't upset yourself with useless and insignificant beings. Even if you tire easily, I'd want no one else but you. Because the reason for your exhaustion would be my endless and unquenchable love for you. And I promise there will never come a day where I'll tire of you."

"Rea...really?" The serpentine's eyes brightened.

"Really!" The wolf tenderly smiled.

Because tiring of you would be tiring of life....
