Chapter-53. For us

[Ezra]

As I entered the dining room again, the first thing I noticed were the two flower pots placed in the middle of the table.

I squinted my eyes.

Aren't they the same flowers Xanthea had in her garden?

I looked at Raven. He cocked a brow, gesturing towards Asher who was in the kitchen preparing something.

"How does he always know what others need the most?" I asked, taking my seat.

Raven shrugged.

"Beats me. I have been needing government funding for my research for a long time, but the money still hasn't miraculously shown in my account. Seems like the Alpha of our pack loses all his clairvoyance when it comes to me. Wasting my money on my own research isn't fun," Raven said, raising his voice for Asher to hear.

"You want to dig the graves that neither of us thinks is intelligent to temper with. Why would he fund you? Be grateful he isn't trying to stop you." I said. "Anyway, what's he doing now?" I asked.

"Probably making some camomile tea that helps mortals relax," Raven said, texting on his phone.

"Does it?" I asked, and Raven shrugged. "What kind of alchemist and healer are you if you don't know this much, Mr. Perfect?"

Raven landed an annoyed glare at me before he looked at his phone screen again.

"I am the immortal kind, dear brother. But what is going on with you?" He asked in a nonchalant tone.

"What is going on with me?" I asked, prodding at the pasta in my soup with the spoon.

"It is actually not unusual to see you soothing our bride. You were the same with all our previous brides, too. But something seemed off right now," Raven said.

I didn't reply because he was right. I acted on my impulse again.

"I am starving. I am going to dig in," I began stuffing my mouth with the soup and pasta, relishing on its deliciousness and ignoring Raven's words that left a bad taste on my tongue. "There you go, closing up again." Raven commented.

"Ummm... this eth swoo gud..." I spoke with my mouth full of pasta.

"Exactly what I was talking about," Raven sighed. "Ignore me, change the topic, but don't talk about it. When will you change, Ezra?"

"He doesn't have to change," Asher said, walking closer to us. Shifting his gaze on me, he continued. "Just don't get too attached to her," he said casually, but it sounded like a warning.

My hands holding the spoon froze midway as I looked at him. He placed the camomile tea near Xanthea's meal and took back his seat.

Finishing the food in my mouth, I frowned at Asher.

"Just because I soothe our bride doesn't mean I am getting attached to her. There's just one woman for me and she'll forever be. No one can take her place," I said in one monotonous breath.
