Beauty in the beast world-Chapter 266: Killian’s insecurity

Right now, Blake was with Victor in one of the meeting rooms inside the snake castle.

Before Blake could ask Noah and Lucas about their stunts back in the forest, he was dragged here by Victor. The latter said that he had something important to discuss. Today so many wanted to discuss many things with him. First Peter and now Victor. He somewhat wished at least this matter to be a normal one unlike what Peter informed him.

Killing beastmen inside the city’s vicinity was by no chance a simple matter. If traced down, it could implicate their entire family. However, the best thing here was the backing both Lucas and Noah had. Their fathers would surely support their sons if something goes out of hand.

"Sweet girl keeps on having weird dreams" Blake’s thoughts came to a halt hearing Victor’s words.

"Weird Dreams?" The former questioned not understanding what Victor was trying to say, "What about it?"

Victor took a deep breath before starting to explain, "She has this dream or nightmare...and wakes up all startled and anxious. She cries every time this happens and by your reaction, I think this occurs only when she is sleeping with me"

His deduction was right on point because Blake had never experienced something like this with his mate. She always slept peacefully by his side so Victor’s words made no sense to him.

Victor could see what Blake was thinking. Hence he took out the thing that could be related to the dreams that his mate had only when he slept with her. And when Blake saw that, a frown formed on his face, "Why do you have that? Wasn’t that with Lilly?"

"I took it from her without her knowledge" which made Blake glare but the latter continued, "I’m scared about leaving this thing with her. It makes me very anxious" The thing they were talking about was ’Saphhire of Wish’ Victor always felt scared of the unknown and this was regarding his mate, so his worry increased tenfold. This blue glimmering Gem looked beautiful as well as dangerous to him. He didn’t know when it would take his mate away from him and as he had no way of stopping it, the next best thing was stealthily removing this by her side.

When he was bathing his mate, he caught sight of the gem amongst her clothes and took it. Then he hid that in his room until they had to move to the snake tribe. He had no time to store it somewhere and just carried it around with him.

Hence it led to their current situation. His sweet girl had dreams whenever he had the Gem with him.

"What are those dreams about?" Blake asked. He could comprehend Victor’s thought process because all of them were worried about their mate keeping the gem with her. Their knowledge about that wretched thing was limited making all of them nervous. What if it takes their mate from them? This worry never seemed to leave them alone.

Victor on the other side, hesitated a little before answering, "She dreams of you"

Blake blinked his eyes trying to make sure that he had heard right, "She dreams about me? What is wrong with that? Are you jealous or something?" he couldn’t help but think like this. Was this moron just envious of their mate dreaming about him?

"It’s not that snake...." Victor sighed tiredly as though Blake was wrong. He indeed felt jealous whenever his mate dreamt about Blake and she wanted to see the latter as soon as she woke up. But that was not important right now, "She doesn’t dream of you but about a man or Beastman that resembles you"

Blake furrowed his brows as the former added, "And she experiences that dream in a female’s body named...Rosalie, yes that was her name. Also, the man that resembles you was seemingly a snake beastman just like you"

As Blake urged him to say more about it, Victor went on with his explanation, "Sweet girl always wakes up disturbed whenever she has those dreams. It appears more like a nightmare to me. A most terrifying one at that" freewebnøvel.com

"We should discuss this with Darcio" That was the conclusion, Blake came to. Through Victor’s words, he could figure out that the dreams he was talking about didn’t seem normal. Nothing was to be taken lightly regarding that ’Sapphire of wish’

If the gem was really the cause of Lilly’s dreams then it was wise to discuss this with Darcio before it is too late. And Victor agreed with Blake.

"Let’s do that," he said, "As soon as possible, we should discuss this matter with Darcio"

Inside Lyra’s room, she stirred awake when she felt a bright light falling on her face. And when she opened her eyes, a familiar portal caught her attention. A reddish portal spread on the wall across her and Killian stepped out of it.

"Sweetheart, where were you?" Lyra stretched her arms toward him while asking. She had not seen him before and none of her mates too knew about where he had gone.

Killian strode towards his mate and embraced her into his arms. He took a whiff of her soothing scent while burying his face in the crook of her neck, "I had some work outside, it’s nothing important"

That made Lyra pull away from him. She gazed at his face and traced it with her fingers. He looked gaunt and tired, "Tell me, sweetheart. What happened?" she could just tell from his face that something was wrong. Hence, she leaned and pecked his eyelids before repeating, "Won’t you share your worries with me?"

Killian smiled softly and couldn’t hold his urge back from kissing his mate’s lips, "I can hide nothing from you" he didn’t like hiding things from her in the first place. But he had to admit that sometimes, situations made it difficult for him to be honest with her. However, he wanted to avoid doing that as much as he could, "When I saw that rootless beastman Inside our house, it was very hard for me to control my anger" he looked up trying to gauge his mate’s reaction. That rootless beastman was brought to their house by his mate. Whether he did it by hook or crook didn’t matter because she had already accepted that beastman.

So respecting her choice was his duty as her mate and he would do that by all means. Lyra on the other hand could see what he was thinking. She kissed his cheek and softly urged him, "It’s alright, sweetheart. Go on"

Killian sighed as he continued, "I felt Kenna going out of control may be due to detecting my fluctuations in emotions. It was getting very hard for me to withhold it and I didn’t want to harm others. So I went out to calm myself down" As he finished talking, his hesitant gaze met his mate’s eyes while he uttered, "I’m like an unrestrained monster aren’t I?"

Lyra’s eyes went wide, "What made you think like that?" she felt bad seeing him lowering his head as though he had done something wrong. Her palm cupped his cheek as she talked, "Sweetheart, please look at me"

Killian felt ashamed to face her. When he annihilated his entire tribe due to a personal feud, many called him a monster. They were disgusted by his mere sight and wanted him to die so that they could feel safe. He had always thought he would lead his life in solidarity. Getting a soul mate never crossed his mind. But once he found his mate, all of his sadness and doubts flew out of the window. He loved her very much and wanted to show only his good side to her.

So, opening up about his Monstrous powers that could harm others if not controlled properly made him feel ashamed. His soulmate was perfect meanwhile he was far from perfect as he was filled with flaws.

"Killian?" Lyra called making him look at her, "You didn’t harm anyone. You controlled yourself and went out before you could even harm others. That itself is incredible and I want you to give more credit to yourself for that alone. And no matter, what your powers are, remember that I will always love you"

Killian’s eyes wavered as he felt his mate once again kiss his cheek. He was already overwhelmed by her words but she continued, "I love you, not because you are my soulmate...Yes, I have to admit that I indeed accepted you in the beginning just because we were each other’s soulmates. But trust me, I grew to love you, and my love for you makes me feel so happy. I’m very happy with you, and I feel blessed to have you in my life. Don’t you feel the same?"

"I do" Killian was quick to answer, "I feel very happy by your side"

"That’s it, sweetheart" Lyra grinned, "Both of us are glad to have each other by our sides and that’s all that matters"
