She Belongs To The Devil

Fenris specifically asked if the letter was from Adeline because even though Nigel didn\'t say it, he was sure that Wyverndale wanted help from the werewolves. And Adeline was the one who could have asked for help from the werewolves.

"Yes, Adeline was the one to send the letter. From what I heard, father\'s health is degrading and Adeline has not yet told him about the war. She is handling everything related to it." Nigel pursed his lips and sighed.

The fact that he was not there at Wyverndale always haunted him no matter how much he denied it and no matter how much he tried to think of Aberdeen as his new home.

Fenris also felt sad to hear that King Dragomir\'s health was degrading.

After an awkward silence for a while, Fenris asked again, "And how is that Devil Prince? Does Adeline talk about him in the letters?"

Nigel gave a glare to Fenris for talking about Theodore but it was already too late.

"Devil Prince? What Devil Prince?" Suddenly, Wulfric was also interested in the conversation.

Fenris disregarded the glare from Nigel and answered, "The Prince with whom Adeline is engaged."

"What? Adeline is engaged?" Wulfric furrowed his brows and pouted, "Why didn\'t the two of you never tell that to me? You two have so many secrets that I don\'t know of, it\'s not fair!"

Fenris rolled his eyes and said in a monotone, "You\'ve not even met Adeline. Why do you care?"

Wulfric noticed how Fenris\'s mood back-flipped when he asked if Adeline was engaged already. He had a sinister grin on his face when he taunted Fenris even further, "Oh, I get it. Someone already stole Adeline, right? Are you calling him a Devil Prince because he stole the very woman for whom you were really willing to change yourself?"

Fenris was in no mood to be teased by Wulfric, that also because of Theodore. He turned his head to face Wulfric and glared at him.

Wulfric instantly jumped to the side and shouted, "Whoa, boy! Dim that golden glow of your eyes. There\'s no need to get provoked at such small things. I was just trying to have a little fun. Tsk! You\'re not fun anymore."

Fenris then glanced at Nigel and questioned him seriously, "Are they still together? When are they going to get married?"

Nigel also took a step away from Fenris and replied softly, "Yes, they are still together. I don\'t know when they are going to get married but I think they will do so soon enough."

"Give up on Adeline already! Find someone else like you always used to." Wulfric tried to poke Fenris with his words again but then he noticed that Fenris was ready to punch him.

"Just give up!" Wulfric shouted again and ran away while laughing madly. He enjoyed testing the limits of Fenris. Ever since he showed the signs of turning, Wulfric would try to provoke him on purpose.

Fenris sighed and tried to calm himself down. He would always get angry and easily irritated, another downside of the early werewolf phase.

Fenris then asked his cousin, "Nigel, didn\'t you feel like ripping the throats off of those old geezers when they were talking badly about Wyverndale? Even I was angry from the way they were talking. How did you manage to stay so calm?"

"It takes time and a lot of willpower to control the anger." Nigel gave a sad smile to Fenris and added, "And also ever since I harmed Adeline in my rage, I consciously try to avoid putting myself in such a situation. The guilt that you feel afterward is too heavy to bear."

"That was one eventful day! Thankfully the Devil Prince was able to heal Adeline." Fenris chuckled and whispered, "If Adeline\'s fiancé was someone else then maybe I would have been persistent about winning her over. But there is no way that I can top that Devil. There is no one better suited to Adeline than him."

Nigel smirked at how maturely Fenris had started to behave. "So you\'re not hung up on Adeline anymore?"

Fenris sighed again and said, "Well, agreeing that someone else is better than you is a different thing and getting over the woman you desired is another. But I do hope that I will stop feeling this way for Adeline."

Nigel gently patted Fenris on his shoulder and tried to console him, "We tend to find love in the most unexpected place. You will find someone who will love you enough to make you forget about Adeline."

Fenris stretched his arms and tried to change the topic, "I wonder when I will turn into my werewolf form…" A slight smile appeared on his face when he said, "I am really curious to see how I will look. And I am curious to know how it feels to transform into something completely different."

Nigel also smiled and excitedly shared, "Well the transformation itself is really a painful process. But once the pain is over, you will feel like your soul has been freed. Oh, the happiness you feel when running through the forest under the moonlight…"

Nigel took in a deep breath and said, "I hope that you will break through soon. Maybe you will transform in the coming full moon."

The two of them were already close to Nigel\'s quarter. And they went inside the quarter. Fenris wanted to spend some time with the twins to blow off his steam. Those bundle of joys would do that job perfectly well.

"You\'re back." Rhea gave a warm smile to Nigel and greeted Fenris, "Hey Fenris, nice to see you after days! Don\'t be a stranger just because you are turning, okay?"

Fenris smiled and nodded, "I won\'t. I am just crammed with all of the training sessions and whatnots. So I didn\'t quite get the time to visit as often as before."

"Okay, enjoy yourself with the twins." Rhea glanced at Nigel who was already lying down with the twins and said, "I will go and get some fresh air. I have been dying to go out." 

"Sure. Take your time," Nigel gave a smile to his wife and resumed playing with the twins.

After Rhea went out, Fenris also sat down on the bed and picked up his niece. "Hey, Niylah! I\'m sorry that your uncle didn\'t come to see you. You missed me, didn\'t you? You missed me, right? Right, baby?"

Niylah was giggling and was trying to grab Fenris\' hair.

Nigel was happy to see that Fenris was back to being his usual cheerful self.

Soon, they were joined by Wulfric. He could not stay away and miss out on all the fun. He stole baby Ramon from Nigel\'s hand and showered him with kisses. "Hey, little wolf. Want to ride on uncle and go to explore the forest?"

Nigel folded his arms and gave a glare to Wulfric.

Wulfric defensively shrugged his shoulders and tried to brush off what he just said, "What? I was just joking! Why would I make a toddler ride on my back? That also in my wolf form! I have never done that before, trust me."

Fenris silently chuckled and whispered, "He did that once."

"What? He did that?" Nigel furiously shouted at Wulfric and was ready to kick him.

Wulfric instantly jumped out of the bed and ran away while still holding Ramon.. And Nigel ran after him to get his baby back from that careless man-child.
