The Crown's Entrapment

Chapter 808 My Name

As soon as Seth received the report that Lena had joined the convoy going to the South today from Alpha Calypso, he immediately embarked on a journey to meet the convoy halfway to see her.

He was aware of the existence of the second batch of the caravan carrying their supplies, but what puzzled him the most was why would Lena join the convoy in this cold weather in the first place. Things would be extremely uncomfortable for her if he recalled, and yet as soon as he saw her there with her beautiful smile that simply brightened up the gloomy mood of the winter, it was more than enough for him to inwardly rejoice and feel rejuvenated, batting away any and all doubts in his mind.

Truly, her mere presence alone was like the sunshine that kept giving warmth to his life.

The moment he arrived, Seth immediately talked to the royal guards through the mindlink to relay his instructions to Lena. How he dreamt of talking to her directly through a matebond link like this, but for that to happen, he had to mark her first, and he wanted Lena's consent before he did that to her.

With his instructions given, he could only sigh out his frustrations as he waited for Lena to climb on top of him in his wolf form. How nice would it be for her to climb on top of him in a different scenario, he wondered…

[You and your dirty thoughts,] Saul teased him.

Seth only chuckled at his wolf's pitying tone. He always daydreamed about their mate, but that didn't mean he wasn't doing anything else. [Patience is a virtue.]

[That old saying is getting annoying!]

Seth chuckled at his wolf's growls in his mind as he waited for his mate to settle on his back. But before he could prepare himself to start their journey, Lena said something that made his whole body tense up.

"I missed you so much, Seth," she whispered. "I'm glad you came to pick me up."

[Did you hear that?] Seth immediately muttered to his wolf. [Isn't that a good sign?]

Looking at him, he had some rabbits and some vegetables on him along with some coconut shells. Lena simply shook her head, as she then watched him prepare everything quickly as if he was afraid that she would starve far too long if he didn't work fast enough.

"You don't need to move in a hurry, Seth. I'm not that hungry yet anyway," she said with a smile. "Do you need help?"

Shaking his head, Seth sat beside her and said, "I'm done already. I just have to cook this and everything will be ready in time, milady."

"When will you drop the formalities?" she mumbled with a pout, taking a sip of the coconut juice she was just given while she was speaking. "I mean, I told you to call me by my name: Lena."

"Hmm… I'll drop the formalities when it's appropriate to do so, milady," he answered with a smile while roasting the rabbits.

"And when will it become appropriate?" Lena questioned with a frown.

Seth didn't reply. Instead, he simply handed her some meat. "Here. Eat first, then you can ask me anything you want," he replied with a grin. "Careful though. It's still hot."

Blinking, Lena shrugged before quickly eating through everything even though she wasn't really that hungry. She didn't really care as much, but she halted when she felt Seth's intense stare boring into her.

She turned to him. "Stop watching me and eat too."

"I'm full already just looking at you," he lovingly muttered.

Lena felt a lump suddenly make itself stuck inside her throat, so she quickly drank some water to try and clear it. "So, tell me. When will the appropriate time to call me by my name come, huh?" she asked out of nowhere to loosen the tense mood.

"When you're already my woman and my official mate and wife, Milady," Seth answered with a serious face and tone.

Lena gulped, her gaze refusing to break as she firmly replied, "Then how about calling me by my name now, Seth? Starting now, I want you to call me Lena…"
