She Belongs To The Devil

Theodore toned down his demonic aura to the minimum. He did not want the werewolves to notice his aura and he definitely did not want them to chase him thinking he is some kind of an evil spirit.

"Wulfric… is that you?" Fenris looked around again and kept on shouting in the background.

Theodore gritted his teeth and almost flicked Fenris for being annoyingly loud. "This brat! He won't stop shouting!" He sighed and thought, "Maybe I should just teleport somewhere else."

Theodore then teleported himself to the inner boundary of the Palace. He looked around to see the beautiful Palace which was very lively. The maids and servants were running around, all of them seemed to be in a hurry.

He keenly observed the surroundings for a while. He could see the wolves casually walking or running every once in a while.

"Hmm… it looks like the wolves don't seem to be a secret inside the Palace." Theodore pressed his lips into a thin line and then thought to himself, "Or is it not a secret in the whole Kingdom?"

He clicked his tongue and dismissed the curiosity, "Ah! Whatever. For now, let's find my dearest puppy. I wonder how he is doing."

Theodore smiled to himself and then slowly walked ahead, although he did not have any particular location in his mind.

After walking for a while, a young man in his full Royal attire walked past Theodore. And when he was out of sight, Theodore heard two of the maids talking while looking in the direction that man went.

"Our Crown Prince is growing up to be such a handsome man, isn't he?" one of the maids whispered in the other maid's ear.

The other maid nodded her head in agreement. "Yes, he is better looking than the elder Prince."

"But I think Prince Nigel is the most handsome one among the three Princes." The maid looked a little sad and whispered, "It's a shame that he is already married."

Theodore stopped in his track when he heard the maids taking Nigel's name.

The other maid smacked her head and gave a disgusted look. "Don't you dare say that the Prince from another Kingdom is more handsome than our Princes."

She furrowed her brows and continued, "The King already seems to favor him more than his own sons. I wonder if our Crown Prince feels threatened by that outsider Prince."

She then glared at her friend again and warned her, "So don't you dare praise Prince Nigel in front of me."

Her friend rolled her eyes and scoffed. "He is a werewolf. It's not like he is going to return back to his own Kingdom. So he is already an insider. You shouldn't discriminate against him just because both of his parents aren't from Aberdeen."

She crossed her hands defensively and then argued, "Besides, the King is not favoring Prince Nigel. I heard that he is giving more importance to Prince Nigel's training because he is the strongest werewolf after the King himself."

Theodore smirked and then began to walk ahead. "Puppy is doing well I see. He adapted to his new body and new home soon enough."

After roaming around for a while, he reached closer to the quarter which was a little further away from the main buildings at the center of the Palace compound.

His eyes then fell on a man with a familiar build who was slowly emerging out of the forest. He smiled broadly and thought, "If it isn't the man I was looking for…"

Theodore would have instantly gone to where Nigel was if he was not accompanied by the other two men, the King and Fenris. They seemed to be discussing a very intense matter.

Theodore kept on waiting for Nigel to separate from them.

Nigel finally said his goodbyes to the two of them and then headed towards his quarter. Theodore silently waited for Nigel to come closer to him. And when he did, he whispered so that only Nigel could hear him, "Nigel, it's me, Theodore. Are there any other werewolves in your quarter other than your wife?"

Nigel swiftly turned in the direction from where he heard the very familiar voice. But he did not see anyone there.

He furrowed his brows and then whispered to himself, "What the… Did I just have an auditory hallucination?"

"No! I am right beside you, puppy," Nigel heard the same voice coming out of thin air.

Seeing that Nigel was still confused, Theodore tried to clarify him, "I am using an invisibility spell right now. Take me to a place where there are no werewolves, will you? I have some classified information to share."

"Oh!" Nigel smiled in a direction where Theodore was not standing and then said, "It's nice to hear your voice after so long, Theodore." And he excitedly added, "Follow me."

Nigel led Theodore inside his quarter and to a meeting room that was made soundproof for the purposes of holding secret meetings. All of the quarters had at least one soundproof meeting room so that the unwanted werewolves wouldn't be able to eavesdrop.

Nigel locked the door and swiftly shot glances all over the room. He didn't see Theodore anywhere so he asked, "Umm… are you inside, or did I lock you outside?"

And Nigel heard a soft whisper, "You locked me outside, puppy. Open up!"

"Sorry, my bad." Nigel chuckled to himself and opened the door for Theodore. He waited for a few seconds to make sure that Theodore would have enough time to get inside the room.

"I'm in," Nigel heard the whisper again, so he hastily locked the door.

He was dying to know what that classified information was. And as it was Theodore who had come to see him, he was more interested to know how his beloved sister was before hearing anything else.

Nigel saw a soft mist hovering a little further away from him. And in no time, Theodore materialized in front of his eyes. The Devil Prince looked like he hadn't aged a day since the last time they had seen each other.

Nigel's happiness knew no bounds seeing someone who wasn't from Aberdeen. He had missed his family who were back in Wyverndale. And even though Theodore wasn't his family, Nigel felt the same warmth that he would have felt after meeting his family members.

And his feet involuntarily took him closer to Theodore. Before he could remember that Theodore despised being hugged, Nigel ended up hugging the Devil.

This time, Theodore didn't mind Nigel invading his personal space. Rather, he also felt the same way as Nigel, as if they were already a family.

Theodore's lips curved up to form a smile and he gave a few stiff pats on Nigel's back.

Without Nigel telling him how he was feeling at the moment, Theodore understood it. And he genuinely expressed how he felt, "I missed you too, puppy. I have to admit that Wyverndale is not the same without you. And neither is Adeline."

They pulled off from the hug. And before Nigel could say anything, Theodore looked into Nigel's eyes and said, "A war is coming.. And your sister needs your help."
