The Werewolf's Pet

Closer- 2

The moment their bodies touched, Eva tried not to look into his eyes because whenever they shared eye contact, she felt spellbound. Lee Ming inhaled her sweet scent as he held her tighter. "I stayed late because my father and I had some things to discuss and he also wanted me to stay for the entire day" Lee Ming said as he touched Eva's hair. Eva then raised her head to look at him "Ohh. How is he?" She asked. "Very well" Lee Ming answered.
They stayed in that position for a while. Lee noticed Eva was sleepy but pretended not to be so she can stare at his face up close a little longer. He saw how she struggled to stay awake and smiled at her before saying "Go to sleep Eva". With that, she finally gave up and closed her eyes. After she fell asleep, Lee Ming took his phone and messaged Hwang Lu. "Find out Eva's father's condition currently". The text said. After sending that, Lee Ming then went to sleep.

"Li Ming! Li Ming!" Shouted a girl with blue hair and black eyes. Tears rolled down from her eyes as she struggled to be free from the grasp of those who held her hands so she won't run to the unmoving body of the one she loved.  The scenery was a courtroom and in the middle of it, was laid the body of Duke Li Ming. The King looked down at the body of the man he trusted the most in the kingdom. Duke Li Ming. The Duke was now dead and unmoving on the floor. The guards had found the body of the Duke in front of the castle. It was like a planned kill and they brought his body to the front of the castle to show they had succeeded. The King remembered the last thing which he spoke about with the Duke which was the war. The King usually sent Duke Ming to battles because he was the strongest fighter in the whole land. He always sent letters to  Duke Ming if they couldn't meet in the courtroom to talk. After the last battle they had, rumors came that the neighboring kingdom would attack again with more force than they ever had. The King of the neighboring kingdom sought to get the kingdom where Duke Ming's was for himself. They have had several battles with other little kingdoms who gave up after the first battle. But this particular King of the neighboring kingdom was not planning on giving up at all. He had heard the term used for the kingdom where Duke Ming was "The land of milk and honey". This was their way to say that the land has surplus livestock and herbs that's why he wanted to land for himself. The King of Azerath which was the kingdom Duke Ming dwelt, looked down at his loyal Duke and said "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have sent you on his particular battle". The girl who was crying looked up at the King after hearing what he said and raised her voice a little. "Why did you do this to me?". "Don't raise your voice at the King" one of the guards said as they hit her on her back making her fall to the ground. If only the Duke was alive, they wouldn't have dared to touch her. The King signalled the guards not to touch her anymore and he said to the girl "Iva, I'm really sorry. I'm also hurt that this happened". The girl looked at the King with her blurry tear filled eyes and lo and behold, the face of the King was...

Eva jolted up from her bad dream as her head banged with pain. Lee Ming was awoken by her sudden movements and saw her holding her head in pain. "What's wrong?" Lee Ming asked as he pulled her hands away from her head. Eva turned to face him and she didn't know the time she started crying. She suddenly hugged him and said in a low voice "Don't die please. Don't die". Lee Ming wondered why she said those words and finally concluded that she might have had a bad dream. He tapped her back slowly until her crying stopped and she pulled away from him. Seeing how red her eyes were from that little moment of crying, made Lee Ming really bothered about her. "What did you dream about?" He asked as he used his thumb to wipe the tears from her cheeks. "You..you.." Eva was finding hard to say what she had dreamt about. She saw a man who looked exactly like Lee Ming the only difference was that the man's hair was lighter in color a bit from Lee Ming's darkly coloured hair. The man was lying lifeless on the ground and they called him Li Ming, Duke Li Ming. Though the spelling was different, Eva didn't know that. All she knew was that, it was this man beside her. "If you can't say it, it's fine" Lee Ming said patting her head. He saw the fear evident in her eyes but didn't know what to do about it. After remembering what she said earlier, he said "Don't think about it. I won't die. Not now and not any time soon" he tried to coax her with his words and it seemed to work because she finally calmed down.

He looked at the time and it was past eight in the morning. "I need to go to work. You are not going to the company in this state" Lee Ming said as he stood up from the bed and was walking towards the bathroom when Eva remembered the image of the dead body. She quickly got up from the bed and ran to him, holding his arm. "Please don't go anywhere today. Please". Lee Ming looked down at her innocent eyes that pleaded with him and he thought about it for a while and said "If that's what my wife wants, okay". She sighed in relief and let go of his arm. She went back to the bed to sit while Lee took this bath. "Come to think of it, that King looked like someone I know" Eva said to herself. She would be sure of who it was if she saw the face again but she hoped not to have a bad dream again.
