She Belongs To The Devil

Chapter 368 - One In A Million

"By any chance, are you pregnant?"

Adeline furrowed her brows and instantly denied, "P-Pregnant? No!" She didn't know how and why Rhea came to that conclusion. So she tried to emphasize, "We're not even married, Rhea. How can I get pregnant?"

"You know you don't have to get married to get pregnant." Rhea had a smug smile on her face and she was flicking her brows at Adeline in a teasing way. "You two already did it, didn't you?"

"Di-Did what?" Adeline felt as though all the blood in her body was rushing to her cheeks and ears.

Rhea pressed her thumb on Adeline's knuckles and teased her even further, "Oh, darling, you know what I'm talking about. You don't have to be so shy."

Adeline was already nervous and Rhea was making her panic even more. "How could you tell? Can everyone tell that we already… umm… that we already did it?"

Rhea gave a smile as her theory was proved and she answered, "Well, I'm not sure if others can tell but I can somehow. Let's just say that I'm really good at finding it out."

Adeline gulped and tried to reassure herself that her shenanigans with Theodore weren't found out by others back at Wyverndale. "Maybe she found it out because she is a werewolf. Maybe she saw some changes in our aura or something," Adeline thought to herself.

"So… you really aren't pregnant?" Rhea asked again.

Adeline's face dropped a little. And after contemplating for a few seconds, she replied, "I don't know if I will ever get pregnant. Theodore recently said that the chance of us having a baby is one in a million. Humans and angels aren't supposed to mate, to begin with, and…"

"Oh, honey…" Rhea pursed her lips and gave a warm hug to Adeline. "I'm sure you two will get lucky."

"I hope so," Until now, Adeline hadn't been this upset regarding how slim chances they had of giving birth to their own. But when she shared it with Rhea, she almost felt like crying her heart out. "I would love to have a baby boy that looks just like him."

Rhea gently caressed Adeline's hair and whispered, "You will. I know it."

Adeline swallowed the lump that she was feeling in her throat and then took a deep breath in before saying, "Rhea, you should start preparing to travel to Wyverndale. Theodore and I are getting married and I want all four of you to be there, along with the other Royals of Aberdeen."

Rhea pulled away from the hug and then stared at Adeline with her jaw wide open. "You two are getting married? When?"

"After thirteen days," Adeline said with a grin on her face.

"Ahh! I should have guessed this when you said you had good news. I was a little ahead of myself and ended up guessing that you were pregnant." Rhea laughed and then tightly hugged Adeline again.

She rocked Adeline side to side while congratulating her, "I'm so happy to hear that, Adeline. Congratulations! And yes, of course, all of us will be there for your wedding. How can we even miss such a happy occasion?"

"I will be counting you in then." Adeline was beaming to hear that her favorite brother and sister-in-law would be attending the wedding. She glanced at the sleeping twins and thought, "Our father would be so happy to see these cuties."

Rhea then excitedly asked Adeline, "What did His Majesty say about Theodore? And how come the ceremony is going to be held so fast? Tell me everything."

Outside, in the rainforest, Theodore had tied up Fenris to the trees with the chains made out of his mist. Nigel was also standing beside Theodore, painfully watching every bone in Fenris' body breaking and reforming.

Theodore had also concealed the area so that the sound of Fenris' cries wouldn't attract the attention of other werewolves. He didn't want the others to find out about him and his powers, especially since some of them would be seeing him on the wedding day and would know that he isn't a normal human.

"How long is the transformation going to last?" Theodore asked Nigel because no matter how much he disliked Fenris, he couldn't keep on seeing him going through that excruciating pain. "Shouldn't he have fully transformed by now?"

Nigel was nervously biting his cuticles and was thinking the same. "He should have transformed by now. But sometimes, it can even take hours for the transformation to complete. And since this is his first time, it might even take longer."

He sighed and added, "Also, I am pretty sure that transforming without the full moon is making it harder for him. It's like he missed his natural process and directly jumped to the higher level of transformation. He is turning himself out of will rather than because of the effect of the full moon."

Theodore glanced at Nigel and asked, "Should I turn him back to his human form then?"

But Nigel shook his head, "No. The incomplete transformation will make it even harder for him the next time he turns. If he endures the pain this time, then it will be easier from the next time."

Theodore nodded his head and came up with an idea to trigger the werewolf even further. He walked a little closer to Fenris, maintaining just enough distance so that Fenris wouldn't be able to reach him.

And then he cleared his throat to say, "Fenris, you used to be mad for Adeline, right?"

Fenris' teeth had already turned into fangs and he snarled at Theodore and tried to bite him.

"Ha!" Theodore poked Fenris on the forehead and mocked him, "You still like her, don't you?"

Fenris desperately tried to break the chains that were tying up his hands so that he could claw Theodore. But even if the chains seemed to be made out of nothing but air, they were way too strong, enough to hold Fenris in place.

Theodore leaned in and then looked Fenris in the eyes with a very haughty look on his face. "Yes, you do! Then I'm sure that you would want to hear a piece of good news." A smirk appeared on Theodore's face before he said, "Adeline and I are getting married very soon. And you are invited."

Fenris glared at Theodore for a second, even in his half-conscious state, he could tell that Theodore was not lying. The feelings towards Adeline that he had suppressed for years came boiling out in the form of fury. He growled and then used all of his might to try and break free from the chains.

He had one goal in mind and that was to break himself free and fight Theodore. He transformed his hands and legs and tried to pull the chains. It was still not breaking. And he directed all of his rage and his hatred towards Theodore to fully transform into his werewolf form.

And there he was… in his magnificent form.

Fenris' body was covered with white fur while his head was covered with black fur with a small patch of white fur on his forehead that almost looked like a crescent moon.

Nigel took a sigh of relief while staring at the charismatic wolf.

Theodore glanced at Nigel and smiled. And Nigel gave a thankful nod to him.

Fenris was taking his time to catch his breath. His eyes fell on his white paws and he was moving them as if to check if they were real or not.

Nigel came and stood beside Theodore. He lovingly rubbed Fenris' head. He was still all tied up so he looked at Theodore and asked, "I think we should let him run around for a bit. I will run along with him to make sure that he won't run towards the settlement."

"Sure." But before he unchained Fenris, Theodore glanced at Nigel and said, "By the way, I wasn't lying when I said that I was getting married to your sister."

"What? Really?" Nigel exclaimed and hugged Theodore with excitement. "That's so nice to hear! Welcome to the family, Theodore. When is the wedding ceremony…"

While the two were all happy and excited, Fenris was looking down on the ground and was digging a hole with his claws.. He was going to bury the emotions that he had for Adeline.
