Part 75

~~~

"Now, that you guys all know the truth, I guess I'm finally done with this bs," Rys said as she gently rubbed her temples. After a long time, she finally said it, and she didn't expect them to take it so nicely.

If she should have known, then she should have admitted it earlier. The black haired girl chortled to herself as she gave her vampire a hug. Bled, with a smile, returned it.

Howl looked away in jealousy.

"But are you not going to choose from one of us?" he asked with a small voice.

Rys pulled away from the hug and gave the werewolf a look. As much as she wanted to call Howl "her werewolf", she couldn't. In reality, he was Candy's werewolf, and that, Rys couldn't deny at all.

Howl wanted the girl to choose from one of them. That couldn't happen. It means that she's going to reject the others if she's going to choose one. And coming from his mouth, that was a surprise!

Rys shook her head. "I'm not greedy at all, Howl, but you see. If I pick one among you, then the others will be rejected, and then they will feel the pain."

Howl gritted his teeth. "But is it much better than seeing your mate in someone's arms?"

Rys got taken aback. What does he mean? Wait, was Howl jealous right now? She wanted to ask that, but she quickly remembered that it was all just because of the bonds.

"I don't know."

"All I know is that you will feel the pain eternally if you reject your mate," the black haired girl softly whispered, recalling the time when her vampire Bled collasped in the classroom.

It was a painful sight.

Rys breathed out as she gave her vampire a sad and guilty look. Bled noticed it and immediately was swarmed by sadness. He didn't want to see his mate this way.

Quickly, he glared at Howl in accusation.

"You know that I don't care about your ass, but can't you see she cares about you? I already felt that pain before, and boy it was so painful. She doesn't want you to experience that too, so shut up and listen to her."

Bled's eyes turned red. "Besides, you are not jealous, right? You are not affected of me holding Rys because you only care about Candy."

"Right?"

Howl gritted his teeth. This again? He already admitted he loves Rys. Did this vampire want him to confess in front of her. If he wants, well he will do it right now.

"I do-"

Rys let out a weak laugh. "Of course, he does."

"Howl loves Candy. If he feels jealous, then that's just the mate bonds thing."

No.

No, Howl wanted to say but couldn't. He was too late. Rys had believed that he wouldn't ever learn to love her. But he did, right at the start, but he was so stupid to grasp that fact.

Bled slipped a smirk when Rys wasn't looking at him. He knew it. Howl was too defeated to even defend himself. Bled knew that if he even confesses to her, Howl would be thrown a lot of questions that he couldn't even answer.

"Thank you for your help, guys," she said to Pinkie and to the other people with a grateful smile on her face. And it was true, she was grateful because finally her life was okay. Although not so okay like before, it was still okay.

     "No probs." Pinkie smiled.

     Colena grinned at her, patting her in the shoulder. "It's okay. Just don't ever make contact again with that stupid fellow witch of mine, and your life will go great."

     Rys chuckled. Yeah, right.

      "Anyways, I learned that your mate is Pars eh?" she added, curious.

      The black haired girl nodded without a thought, concluding that Pinkie must have tell her. "He's kinda stupid and calls me Ry-rys despite telling him not to call me that."

     Colena laughed. "That's true. In the academy, he's such a naughty kid."

      "Academy?"

     "I'm a teacher there, and he's my student," she explained with a smile.

Rys mouthed oh and soon waved good bye to the people. Bled and Howl was left alone as she let them enter her house. And of course, her mom and dad was there to greet her.

"You're late again," her mom said.

"And you brought boys," her dad continued with a narrowed look, but it faltered when his wife rushed to Bled with a happy look.

"Rys's boyfriend!" she exclaimed in happiness as she ran towards blushing Bled. Blushing? Aw, he's so cute, but damn mom! She just called Bled her boyfriend.

But he isn't.

Embarrassed, she turned away as her dad confronted his daughter, "You got youself a boyfriend without my permit?!"

Howl, not liking what was going on, replied for his mate with a displeased frown on his handsome face.

"Bled is not her boyfriend."

"So are you?"

Howl exhaled, shy. "I hope so."

Quickly, everyone's eyes turned towards him especially Rys. She was so shock that her eyes almost bulged out from its socket. Who is this man? Is this really Howl? She let out a nervous chuckled as she stammered.

"I heard that wrong."

Howl shook his head. "I don't think so."

"Mate," he whispered.

Mate, it echoed throughout her mind. That word that she'd never thought Howl will use it on her, he used it on her.

With such love and tender.

It went more worse when Bled joined in the conversation with determination in his face. "I'm going to be Rys's girlfriend in the end!"

Rys's parent's reaction: ('⊙ω⊙')

Rys's mom whispered to her husband, "Did I hear that right?"

"I don't know too myself" was his reply.

Rys's face went red to hear that. Bled's statement was expected, but Howl? Why, Howl? Was he still Pine? She glanced at Howl, and he was looking at her with a red face.

Adorable but confusing.

Rys's dad sighed. "Okay, that's shocking, but don't add us to those sort of things. Rys, you take care of the boys. You pick whoever you think will be a great man for you."

"Um."

"Rys, you can choose both! Haha, it's better if you also add Hash to your harem. Such a charming lad," her mom added with a smile.

"Um."

Her mom winked at her. Aish, greedy mom!

That was it. She was so full of embarrassment that she grabbed both of the man and pulled them towards her room.

Closing her door, she turned towards them with a sigh of relief. "Don't mind them. They're evil."

Bled grinned while Howl smirked. She didn't know why but then she later realized that only three of them were in a locked bedroom.

Gosh, those two!

Quickly, she threw them out in the window, and they both died. And the story ended. As Rys lived happily ever after with Dragon.

Just kidding. (That's the way how author-kun want to end this story ;3)

Instead of doing that, Rys sighed as she pushed the men outside her bedroom.

"Wa- wa- wait, Rys!"

"You both go outside too! Evil!" After locking the door, she headed to the restroom for a moment of shower.

***

Outside, Bled suddenly smirked at Howl. "Finally admitting, huh?"

    Howl rolled his eyes. "Yeah. This time, I will not reject her and act like an idiot werewolf."

     "Nice." He grinned.

     "Too bad, I'm the best mate for her."

     Howl scoffed. "Currently."
