Chapter 64: Chapter 64

Upon hearing my question, Rex's bruised face contorted into a frown, and his red eyes turned fiery cold. "That motherfucker." He cursed in a voice filled with rage and walked towards me, anger evident on his face.

I eyed Rex in bedazzle. When Rex left the forest, he left in one piece, with no wound on his face, unlike now.

Although Rex's clothes looked clean, there were a few wrinkles on them, and his face was bruised as if he had just fought. And it can only be linked to a certain someone who had just sent his image to me a few minutes ago.

"Rex. You went to fight Oswald?" My eyes widened in disbelief. Although I knew Rex and Oswald didn't see eye to eye, I didn't expect them to fight each other this soon.

Suddenly, a thought flashed past my mind, and it made my mood change. However, I tried to stay calm. I stared at Rex's face intently in a bid to catch the trace of any emotions that flashed past his eyes. "No, you didn't involve Wyatt and Asher, did you?" I asked in a grave voice, my eyes fixated on Rex's face.

Wyatt had been nice to me ever since I came across him. Although Asher had been a flirty person ever since I set my eyes on him, he hadn't done anything bad to me, and he had actually treated my injuries. Rex really can't fight with those two, or else my heart will bleed with guilt.

Rex's face fell, and he smacked his lips together. His red eyes stared at me with a gaze filled with grievances, making me feel as if I were stabbed in the heart. "Filippa, I'm here with a bruised face, and all you cared about was those two?" He cried out in a pitiful voice.

I felt my heart soften immediately. I quickly grabbed Rex's hand and shook my head to disagree with his notion that I didn't care about his bruised face. The next minute, I nodded my head again to tell him I cared about Rex attacking Asher and Wyatt. "Rex, I cared about you. It's just that those two are innocent, except..."

"I know. I didn't bother with them." Rex interrupted with a knowing sigh.

"Asher carefully sat down and kept snacking on popcorn until the show ended. His expression was as if he were watching an interesting battle." Rex explained.

This time there was an amused yet helpless expression on Rex's face, as if he couldn't believe Asher had chosen to watch and snack on popcorn instead of trying to save his Alpha.

My lips parted in shock, not believing that's the type of person Asher was, but upon remembering how Asher had leisurely strode into the forest after things ended when Rex 'kidnapped' me, I believed that he must've done according to what Rex says.

I couldn't help facepalming myself. Asher is really a leisurely and unbridled person.How bad that I wasn't given the chance to watch such a show! I could have made use of popcorn as well!

Now, thinking about the reason Oswald sent me a picture immediately after the fight ended, did Oswald think the fight was related to me? Or did he think I knew something about it? Perhaps he thought I had sent Rex to avenge me.

Serves him right! What a pity that I didn't know about the fight when I sent a reply; I could have made use of more words! Huff!

"Let's help you get your wound attended to." I conveyed this to Rex, who nodded cooperatively.

I made Rex sit down on a dried log and begin to attend to his wounds using his first aid box.

After the fight with the rogues, Rex began to bring a first-aid box to the training in case I got injured.

All through the disinfecting and treating, Rex didn't make a groan; instead, his red eyes were fixed on me so intently that I couldn't help blushing.

Rex suddenly leaned forward and kissed the corner of my lips, stunning me so much that I froze for a second.

Rex's eyes softened, and his lips curled slightly. His expression filled with fondness as he caressed my hair. "After you leave here, let's get married, okay?" He conveyed in a patient voice, his hand still caressing my hair.

I blinked in surprise. Although I understood that this day was to come, I didn't realize that it'd be fast. I bowed my head and twisted my fingers in uncertainty. It's too fast to advance this quickly. "Rex, I…"

"I won't let you push me away, Filippa. I'm determined to have you." Rex proclaimed in a firm tone. His head was propped, his jaw clenched, and his eyes were blankly fixated on me.

I lowered my head and sighed. I knew Rex would do anything to have me as his wife, which was the reason he had purposely told me about his obsession with having me. Even though I wanted to tell him that I hadn't made up my mind to have a marriage this soon due to my situation, I didn't say anything to Rex.

I knew how sensitive Rex was; raising a rejection topic was enough to trigger his emotions, which I couldn't do at our current location.

"I'm done treating the wound, Rex." I conveyed and focused my attention on returning the things to the first aid box. I didn't bother replying to Rex until I stood up.

Rex suddenly hugged me from behind and planted a gentle kiss on my nape. "Did I scare you, baby?" He whispered in a soft tone that made me calm down.

I shook my head and fiddled with my fingers. I raised my head to stare into Rex's eyes.

"I'm not scared, Rex. I just feel that it's too fast. Can you give me some time to think about it?" I implored in a soft tone. We have just met for a long time, and I think for us to advance into marriage, we need to know each other better.

Rex nodded his head in agreement, making me sigh in relief. Suddenly, Rex frowned, and his grip on me tightened, causing me to wince.

Suddenly, a maniacal smile lit up on Rex's face, and I couldn't help shivering in fear. "You're intending not to leave the power axis pack, right? You still like him, don't you?" Rex articulated sharply, and I know he was talking about Oswald.

My face contorted into a frown. Although the love one has for one's mate couldn't disappear just like that, after what Oswald did, my dislike is more than my likeness for that damn alpha!

"No way! I don't like that jerk." I cut in with contempt; I could feel Maia having the same feeling I did, and I was more relieved. After all, that jerk dumped us after using us, which he held no remorse for.

Rex's taut body relaxed, and he let out a relieved sigh, which showed that he was pleased by my words. Rex separated from me and ruffled my hair playfully.

I glared at Rex and smacked his hand away before brushing my hair with my fingers to neaten it.

"Since it's the weekend, we'll be training all day and night. A minute late, and you'll see yourself." Rex's lips curled wickedly as he threatened in a cold voice.

I rubbed my nose gently, frightened out of my mind by Rex's threat. Of course, getting on Teacher Rex's nerves as his student is one of the worst things to do. That's a death wish on its own.

Suddenly, a thought surfaced in my mind. Ever since Rex and I reconnected, Rex has always spent his time in the Power Axis pack. As the vampire Lord, won't his actions incur the displeasure of the vampire tribe?

"Rex, how about the vampire clan? Won't they be dissatisfied? You're spending all day with me?" I inquired seriously and worriedly.

If it's all because of me, Rex is running to and fro the two tribes; it isn't necessary; I could choose to leave the power axis pack anytime anyway. I don't believe Oswald will stop me after all the stupid things he did.

"For the future queen, it's worth it." Rex shrugged indifferently and picked up the first-aid box.

"Rex..."

"Filippa. I can't hear a rejection." Rex interrupted with a firm tone, and I could only sigh.

Rex discussing this gently means he's still thinking about our past. What if he simply decides to abduct me and lock me up? I won't be able to fight back anyway.

"Fine." I glared at him while feigning anger.

Using that chance, Rex took a step forward and ruffled my hair again...I plopped on the chair, panting heavily, drained from head to toe. The hostel was quiet and lonely because Arya was not present.

I didn't realize how much the presence of Arya warmed this hostel until now. I kind of missed her presence.

The thought made my eyes widen slightly. I couldn't believe that I was the one to think like this.

'Filippa, we're healing.' Maia whispered, and I couldn't help agreeing silently.

I touched my chest while thinking that things had really changed for me. I've smiled more, cried more, worried more, expressed more, etc. in the past few days.

‘Maia, you’re right.’ I nodded in agreement.

I sighed and took out my phone, but everything online was also quiet. No one was talking about the issue with Oswald and me anymore, and I've received no piling messages either.

All the insults sent to me had been deleted by their respective senders.

I couldn’t help tapping on Wyatt’s chat interface. I was kind of hoping that my absence at Wyatt's mansion would make Wyatt ask me what was happening, but my hope was dashed instead.

I placed my phone, stood up, and walked into the bathroom to take a bath.
