I Reject a Lycan For a Rogue

Chapter Eight.

Aiden's POV

Two days have passed, and the princess is doing an outstanding job for sure. She is really taking good care of me. I now feel good. I have regained my strength and the wound is almost completely healed. I am so thankful that I am regaining my strength. Tonight I will get away from her, I know now since I am getting better, she will try to fulfil what brought her here. Maybe she wants to take me to the king. I will not let her.

“Hey Woffy you look great now, you are recovering so well. And in no time, we will part ways.” She says. “I have enjoyed this time with you, for sure, but I need to get away from here. I have stayed for far too long.” She adds.

I am grateful that she didn't let me die. I am even able to sit, resting my body on my fore paws. It's wonderful, at least, I feel so refreshed and good. She brought me closer to achieving my dreams.

“We need to go for a walk now, you have to exercise before your muscles becomes stiff.” She says smiling to me. Her smile seems genuine, it illuminates her beautiful blue eyes. Did I say beautiful? No way. “You wouldn't want that, do you?” She adds standing up. Again, she shows me almost everything from behind. She really needs clothes. But how am I going to tell her when I am confined in this form.

“Come, let me help you.” She says. Before I know it, she is already helping me up. She holds my abdomen and steadies me, she is so patient since I take time for my legs to stand well on the ground.

I wobble a little, and she catches me before I can fall.

Why is she this good? I even have doubts if she is a bad person.

“So now Woffy since you know this place so well, can you please show me somewhere beautiful."? She kneels before me and asks. Her being right in front of me, makes something stir in my belly. Maybe it's just the hunger, I say to myself. But these two days, have made me change the perspective about her just a little. However, my trust towards her is still insufficient.

Royals are never to be trusted, they made my only friend turn on me so, it doesn't hurt to be cautious.

I narrow my eyes towards her and groan just a little to show that I don't like the idea. “I know you don't like me, honestly, no one does, so it isn't a surprising to me.” She says as she stands up. I close my eyes because I don't want to see what I am not supposed to. She walks far away from me, she continues walking. I see her shoulders heaving up and down. I think she is crying, oh no, I didn't want to make her cry.

I cannot even make her calm down. I am damned in this form. I feel so useless right now, I hated seeing tears. I follow her slowly behind, I have no idea of what to do. I just stand behind her, for moral support, I guess.

“Hey, you are here, so did you change your mind.” She asks, kneeling before me again. She wipes her tears and pretends to smile to me. But it's evident how hurt and sad she is. I know the exact place to take her. Maybe she will cheer up a little, I know it makes me come down. But how will I make her follow me? Of course, if I walk away she will definitely follow me. My heart feels so different seeing her cry like that. I will try to make her smile, even if it's just for a bit. It will make me calm too.

I start walking away towards the direction I want her to follow me.

“I am following you now Woffy, how I wish you could turn so that I could just know your name. We will be partying ways soon, so how will we go our separate ways without knowing each other."? She says as she follows me. She likes talking so much, I observe. The first day her words were irritating me, but now, I feel different.

I feel entertained, at least I have someone to talk to even if it's just for a short while. I have been alone for four years, it has been so long since I had actual human company. My friends have been raccoons, rabbits, which are always my food.

So I decide to take her to my favorite place. When I get there, I just stand waiting if she can see what I see here. It's nothing big or scenic, but for me, it's amazing. I hope she sees what I see.

“What's here Woffy, I see a bunch of trees, nothing more.” She says. “There is nothing here Woffy, why…” She stops speaking all of a sudden.

“Wait a minute.” She exclaims. “This is gorgeous.” She says running towards my favorite place. A tree which is different from the others. It's huge, with just two wide branches. The leaves are wide and left that you can hide in there and no one can ever find.

She climbs with ease since it's the easiest to climb. I cannot look at her because I see one of the cloth she is using to cover herself up falls off due to her excitement. And I don't know if it's the top one or the bottom. I just hope it's the top one. Because the bottom will be disaster.

She looks so happy, it's like she forgot about all that was making her cry. And that was all that I wanted, even though I don’t know why.
