Claimed By My Husband's Enemy novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128

(Creed)

Tamers are free souls by nature, Black. They tame people but they, themselves, cannot be tamed. The lack of wings does not stop them from being restless beings, they are constantly flying from one place to another, never settling down. You could offer them the world, and they would not be tempted. That’s how much they value their freedom. That was also the reason why in the past, royal families attempted to cage them, fearing they would escape, Alistair said out of the blue after I gave him a copy of his house key for the third time because he forgot where he placed the damn thing again.

Look at Lady Eloise. Even if Hugo was the strongest and most powerful asshole in our time, she still got away, fled from his dutches, and wandered in different realms. Tamers?” He shook his head. They are the easiest to love, but also the hardest to keep

Why are you suddenly telling me all that?”

I did not need a reminder of how stubborn my own tamer was. knew that better than anyone else.

Alistair shrugged. I once said I will tell you how tamers hoard their most precious possessions. There. I do not owe you anything anymore. I just gave you the answer.

I scowled at him. “No, you did not.

He grinned. Well. I only said I will give you the answer, Black. I ever said I would make it easy for you. You would know if you had become the princess’ most prized hoard. You will feel it The fact that you are looking like a clueless idiot today means you are only a part of her hoard and not the most important yet. He patted me on my shoulder and stared at me pitifully. ‘It’s okay. I don’t really pray but I will try and make time for it. For our friendship’s sake.’

I twisted his arm. “Fuck off, Hendrix. I don’t need your prayers. And no, we are not friends.

Alistair just laughed at me.

My mate categorized people by age. Alistair belonged in her uncles’ category as a prehistoric bastard. And I would rather have my ass kicked than be promoted to a higher category. The age gap between Elianna and I was already too fucking wide. To belong in the prehistoric batch would gut my ego thoroughly especially when I was still recovering from being called an lan

“ancient”

The night Elianna told me about wanting a new ring, I found the answer. I knew I’d become her most precious hoard the second she wanted to claim me properly by giving up her freedom and settling down with me. Three months after she gave me her sweetest ‘yes, here we were now.

Inside our own castle.

Just like her dream wedding venue when she was still a little girl.

I had this built while Elianna was in a coma. I bought the ring even when I had no idea when she was going to wake up. I had been ready to propose the moment she opened her eyes. I was only waiting for the right time although she beat me to it the day she found me in the dark room.

All three of her uncles had an argument about who would walk her down the aisle. Anson and Jacques almost lost their brotherhood because none of them wanted to give in. And then there was Aramides who tossed himself into the argument. It was entertaining watching them wreak havoc to themselves as they destroyed their kidneys by drowning them in liquor while enumerating why they were the best candidate to escort her on her very special day. The three idiots treated each other like enemies for days only for Eloise to declare in the end that she was going to walk her daughter, shutting the men up at once.

And now the two tamers walked hand in hand.

Eloise sobbed while Elianna’s eyes glistened. When I found her the human realm, those chocolate-brown eyes looked haunted. Trapped. It was the first time a human had ever made me curious. I wondered why she had the saddest eyes in the party when she was supposed to be the happiest out of all the women there with her rumored perfect marriage, the marriage I wanted to destroy the second I saw Richards hold her

Those eyes evolved with time. From haunted, to fierce, to this.

She was trapping herself with me for the rest of her life and yet day, she looked the freest.

As if she had found her freedom in me.

Every step Elianna took was a step closer to our forever, a word did not believe in.

Until her.
