Chapter 166: Home 5

"The mate of your heart and soul? I understand she's your soulmate. But when did she become your heart mate?" The Master Wolf narrowed his eyes and scanned Versailles from head to toe.

He was certain King Ramose didn't have any relationships with females before her appearance. And he never saw the female serpentine in any of the beasts' gatherings before the Battle of Wars.

So when had she slithered her way into Ramose's heart to become his heartmate?

Versailles felt uncomfortable under the brown wolf's scrutiny. 

She wasn't a commodity, so why was he evaluating her like one?

Afraid she'd speak impolitely to the beast, she turned to her mate.

"Ramose, I want to go to the Main Hall. Will you take me there?"

"You don't need to ask. Just say it and I'd be more than happy to lead you." Taking her hand, the Werewolf King turned and pulled her along.

Master Ouyang's frown deepened when he saw the Werewolf King's behavior.

'Just a mate. Which wolf doesn't have one? But the way Ramose is treating this female serpentine is...above the treatment of a mate to his soulmate!' 

Disgruntled and dissatisfied, Master Ouyang leaped forward and blocked the Beta wolves' path.

The Betas exchanged knowing glances and helplessly sighed. They stepped back and allowed Olsen to take the charge of the situation.

"Ma...Master Ouyang, is something the matter? If it isn't urgent, can you excuse us for now? We still need to remain by the Wolf King's side and uncover the culprit behind the incident." Olsen awkwardly scratched his head.

He sensed the Master Wolf didn't have any good intention in stopping them and wanted to find an excuse to escape his questioning.

Unfortunately, the Master Wolf didn't have any intention of letting them go without getting the answers to his questions.

"Olsen, you will be honest with me. Where in the Nar did that serpentine come from? Why is the Werewolf King so attached to her? I know that she's his mate. However, the mate bond isn't so binding that a werewolf would be forced to follow his mate's orders like a slave. Who is she?" The brown wolf coldly questioned.

As Ramose's only family member, he felt he had an obligation to keep an eye on the black wolf and make sure his mate didn't play him like a clown. Especially when he'd never interacted with females before and had no idea of their various schemes and plots.

Someone as innocent as the Werewolf king could be played by the serpentine without him even realizing it.

"Ahh...Master Ouyang, I'm not sure I have the permission to divulge or speak about the Wolf King's private affairs. As his Betas, besides fulfilling our duty of lessening his burden, we're obligated to never divulge the Underworld King's affairs without his permission. Then, if you'll excuse us..." Fearful of accidentally revealing matters he couldn't reveal, Olsen hurriedly excused himself and flashed past the brown wolf before he could react.

"Olsen...!" Master Ouyang's face flushed with anger as he stared after the escaping Beta in disbelief.

On seeing their comrade escape on his own, the other Betas felt resentment. The situation wasn't right and they couldn't remain until Master Ouyang focused his attention back on them. They exchanged another glance and stealthily backed away. 

"Julian, you speak!" Master Ouyang was still glaring in the direction Olsen had disappeared, his brown eyes flashing with murder as he hollered over his shoulder.

But even after giving the command, he didn't hear the Beta's voice. Now more than displeased and enraged at the contemptible behavior of the Betas, the brown wolf turned with a ferocious expression on his face.

"Julian!"

But what greeted him was an empty land. All the Betas had already slinked away while he was still focused on Olsen.

"Grrrrrr!"

Bristling with fury and boundless anger, the Master Wolf darkly growled and slammed his fist on the ground. Red rocks and debris flew in the air, but none landed on him, seemingly held off by his dark aura.

"Good. Very good! These Betas dare to turn their backs on me without fear. They dare to leave without permission. It hasn't even been 7 ice nights since that serpentine had arrived, and yet, the Werewolf King's Betas dare to shield and hide her while knowing they'd be going against me!"

"Master Ouyang, what happened? Why are you so angry? Is everything okay?" Right at this moment, the delicate and concerned voice of a female sounded from behind the Master Wolf.

Master Ouyang turned his head and his complexion immediately softened by half when his gaze fell on the female beast.

"Luciana, why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the inner chambers of the Crimson Palace?"

Luciana stopped and her expression instantly turned awkward. She bit her lip and wordlessly lowered her head, seeming pitiful with a wronged expression on her face.

The Master wolf was immediately alarmed by her aggrieved expression.

"Luciana, what's wrong? Tell Uncle Ouyang. Who bullied you? But that's not right. In this entire Underworld Palace, who has the guts to dare wrong you?" The brown wolf frowned.

"Master Ouyang, I...am I a nuisance? Is that why the Werewolf King banished me from the Crimson Palace without a valid reason on the Serpentine Queen's order? Am I not doing my duty well?" Luciana covered her face and cried tearfully.

"What did you say? Ramose banished you from the Crimson Palace?" Master Ouyang was shocked.

What was he hearing? Ramose banished Luciana, who for over 10 years, took care of the Crimson Palace? That too, on the Serpentine Queen's orders?

"Master Ouyang, don't blame King Ramose. It's not his fault. As a good mate, if his soulmate isn't satisfied with the other females in the Crimson Palace, what can he do besides banishing them? She just entered the Underworld Palace, so it's understandable if she feels a bit uncomfortable with the other female beasts."

It sounded as if she was helping the Serpentine Queen explain her situation, but subtly, she was hinting that upon her entrance to the Underworld Palace, the Serpentine Queen had already begun instigating Ramose against those around him.

Master Ouyang's eyes turned cold. He already found the Werewolf King's servile behavior before the Serpentine Queen displeasing to his eyes. Now that he heard she'd also controlled and compelled him to banish an old acquaintance like Luciana from the Crimson Palace, his original displeasure for her instantly turned to one of extreme dislike.

"Ramose might be blind with heat. But that doesn't mean there's no one to control her ostentatious behavior. So what if she's his mate and Queen of the Underworld Palace? As long as I, Master Ouyang, am around, she can forget about controlling the Werewolf Clan! Luciana, come with me!"

The brown wolf turned and coldly raced towards the Main Hall of the Crimson Palace.

Upon the wolf's charge, the teary and aggrieved expression on the Gold Blood's expression disappeared and a cold sneer graced her lips.

"Banish me from the Crimson Palace? Hmph! Serpentine Queen, that isn't within your capability!" Recomposing her expression, she chased after the brown wolf.

Ramose led his mate into the Crystalline Hall, the main hall where he discussed important matters with his Betas, and had her sit on his throne.

Versailles's eyes brightened as she looked around the Main Hall, the fresh scent of saplings and green plants making her feel nostalgic. 

When she was still in the Sybil realm, her only source of income was growing and selling herbs. She hunted small games, but those were to fill their bellies. Since she set foot in the Nar realm, she'd never once seen a single green plant or a blade of grass.

But she never expected to find the green she'd missed in the least likely place of all, the Underworld Palace. Truly, it was fortunate that the other races couldn't enter the Underworld Palace, otherwise, the wonders and wealth of the Werewolf Clan would've garnered them the deep hatred and envy of the entire Nar realm.

They would've been flattened long ago.

"Ramose, this is the Main Hall?" She absentmindedly asked.

Ramose's lips curled upward on seeing her enamored expression.

"Ahem! Yes, it's the Main Hall." Of course, it wasn't the Main Hall. This was the place where he conducted official affairs. But Ramose wasn't going to tell that to his mate.

The Main Hall of the Crimson Palace, the place where the Queen of the Underworld Palace oversaw management was on a separate wing. It was less spacious and more crowded than the Crystalline Hall, with little to no lighting.

It was built for the female and Queen of the Werewolf King because, though she was the Queen of the Underworld Palace, the Queen was still a beast brought from outside. She came from another race and didn't deserve treatment equal to the Werewolf King.

The previous Werewolf Kings saw no issue with such an arrangement. And neither did the Queens that had lived a life ten times worse than the one they lived in the Underworld Palace.

However, King Ramose didn't view his mate as a lesser beast or a beast deserving of a lesser treatment than him.

He viewed her as the mate of his heart and soul, his equal in every sense of the words.

And as his equal, how could he possibly send her to a rathole?

"Hmm! The Main Hall is beautiful! Since the lighting here is a little good, I think we can grow more plants. I want to grow some medicinal herbs and green vegetables. And maybe some fruit as well. If there's space left, we'll also plant some flowers to brighten it up!"

Since this place was her home now, she could do whatever she wanted!

"Good! We'll do as you say." Ramose obediently stood beside his mate and basked in her joyous mood. He nodded or hummed in agreement at her every suggestion. Her glowing eyes and excited chatter made him feel comfortable and content.

As long as she was happy, he was satisfied. 

"Ramose, what kind of plants do you like? I'll make an effort to grow them if I get time and space later." Versailles turned and looked at her mate, her red-gold hair glowing a radiant fire-color under the lightening of the Crystalline Hall.

Ramose stared in a daze. By now, he should've grown numb and used to his mate's beauty. Unfortunately, such was not the case. Every time he saw her, he found himself sinking further into her web of love and enchantment.

The more he saw her, the more beautiful he found her. And the more beautiful he found her, the harder his heart pounded and sunk into her love.

Ramose was certain. In his entire immortal life, he would never be able to extricate himself from his mate's love.

And truthfully, he never wanted to come out from this blissful and ethereal feeling called love.

Because this feeling made him feel alive.

"Light, how about we focus on making a little cub instead, hmm...?" He shamelessly grabbed her waist, embraced her from behind, and whispered into her ear, his hard member rubbing against her thigh.

There was no need to say what the wolf wanted.

Versailles blushed and glared at him, pushing on his chest in displeasure. In her mind, she couldn't help cursing at the insatiable need of her mate.

Da**! We just mated last night. He wants to do it again?

But the Wolf King felt his body warm up even hotter at her feeble protest. He leaned into her neck and kissed her earlobe and trailed down to the throbbing pulse on her soft and smooth neck.

"Mmmm...Ramose..." Versailles's knees grew weak. She felt her head spin from the tingling pleasure and powerlessly leaned into her mate's embrace.

But just when Ramose tightened his grip on her waist and wanted to carry her away, an ear-splitting shout resounded from the entrance of the throne room.

Da**! Who the Nar dared to interrupt his good deed!?

Burning with furious rage, Ramose turned to glare at the entrance.

"Haha..." Versailles laughed delightedly. Her mate's disgruntled look amused her. But this immediately earned her a pinch on the waist.

"Ouch!"

"Behave!" Though Ramose said so, he couldn't help but gently rub the place he pinched to soothe the pain away. It couldn't be helped. Her aggrieved look pulled on his heartstrings.

"I'll deal with you later..." He vowed darkly in a tone thick with desire and stepped away.

"Ramose! Ramose!"

Right at this, Master Ouyang came bristling into the Crystalline Hall with the Gold Blood, Luciana, docilely following behind.
