NOVEL WEB Chapter 68
Chapter 68: Planning A Trip Back
“But he also said that he was suspicious of you that night because you didn’t have any werewolf scent. So why did you cover your scent in some way? Were you hiding from something?”
Now I was even more confused about David’s identity. He had appeared at Aunt Carol’s house early in the morning but seemed to have a close relationship with the pack’s Alpha and knew a lot about us.
At that moment, I saw Aunt Carol coming down the stairs. She was still wearing the nightgown we had first seen her in, her hair a little untidy but with a particularly languid naturalness.
David also saw Aunt Carol, and he went up naturally, put his arm around her waist, and exchanged a kiss. They looked like a young couple who had just fallen in love. The air was filled with pink bubbles.
“Oh, the child is still here. Don’t be like this, David,” Aunt Carol complained, but I could see that she enjoyed being intimate with David.
I waved my hand to show that I didn’t mind.
“Here, let me introduce you. This is my mate David,” Aunt Carol said. “He left the pack for a mission some time ago. He just came back last night. I haven’t had the chance to introduce you.”
I saw David’s hand had already slid onto Aunt Carol’s butt. They had been touching each other since the moment they saw each other.
“If I knew you had guests, I would have come back earlier,” David looked at Aunt Carol lovingly and said.
“Don’t worry. The children are very well-behaved.” Aunt Carol patted David’s arm and said, “I’ll make breakfast for you, okay? What do you want to eat?”
“I’ve missed your omelet while I was out.”
Aunt Carol giggled. “I’ll make it right away.”
“I’ll go with you,” David said.
I was about to sneak away when Aunt Carol called my name. “Cecily, why don’t you come with us?”
I noticed that David was giving me an unkind look and said, “Uh, no. I’ll wake Kate up in case she misses breakfast.”
“Okay,” Aunt Carol said.
I watched as Aunt Carol and David disappeared down the stairs. I couldn’t wait to knock on Kate’s door. I didn’t care if it would wake Kate up.
When Kate opened the door for me with her sleepy eyes, it was apparent that she was still asleep. She wasn’t the type to wake up early.
“What’s up? It’s so early still.” Kate yawned and fell back onto the bed.
I sat down next to her and tried to shake her awake.
“You never said your aunt had a mate!” I growled in her ear.
I was shocked to see David this morning. In my heart, Aunt Carol had always been a beautiful image that only existed in my dreams. “Please reading on ‘NewN0vel’0rg’ I never thought she would show such girliness when she was in love.
Kate’s buzzing voice came from under the pillow. “Didn’t I say that she married into the Ancient Woods Pack? What’s so strange about her having a mate? Wait, you mean you saw David?”
Kate seemed to wake up immediately. She sat up from the bed and stared at me, wide-eyed.
“Yeah.” I nodded and said, “I just opened the door this morning and saw him. I was so embarrassed.”
“Why did he come back at this time?” Kate scratched her hair with a worried expression.
“Why did he come back?” I looked at her in confusion.
“After he came back, maybe Alex would come here occasionally. By then, my identity would be difficult to hide,” Kate said.
What did this have to do with Alex? I was even more confused.
“David is the Beta in the pack, and his brother is the previous Alpha. So in terms of blood relations, Alex is his nephew,” Kate explained.
“Then, isn’t Alex your brother?” I asked in surprise.
Kate glared at me and said, “He’s the kind of brother I don’t have blood relations with!”
I smiled sheepishly.
Kate continued, “But it’s not wrong to say he’s my brother. When I visited my aunt as a child, I always hung out with him, but we were too young then. We didn’t have the consciousness of a man and a woman.”
Kate turned her gaze to me and said hesitantly, “Cecily, I think…”
“Let’s go back today. How about it?” I said what Kate wanted to say on her behalf.
Kate looked at me in surprise. I smiled. “I wanted to tell you this morning, but I forgot because I was too shocked to see David. I’ve already thought about it. I love Michael, and I want to go back and explain everything to him.”
“That’s great.” Kate hugged me. “I’m so glad you’ve thought this through. You’ll be happy, Cecily.”
“I just hope he doesn’t tear me apart,” I muttered.
“He won’t,” Kate said.
