My Mate Is A Witch
Chapter 10

“I… I’m sorry. ” She muttered and started leaving his room, cursing herself inwardly for entering his room. ‘I shouldn’t have walked into his room in the first place.’, She thought.

“You’re sorry for drooling me?” He asked from behind her, making her halt her steps. She turned around before answering.

“No. I…I..”

“So, you like seeing me half naked.”

“Yes. I mean NO. I didn’t like…”

“Oh! You loved seeing me like this.”

“Noooo.. I … I…”

“No? Do you want to see me fully naked? I don’t mind removing the towel.” he said and slowly started removing it.

“Oh. MY. GAAAWWDD. You’re mad. You have gone mad.” Caroline cried out loudly in frustration and quickly ran away from there while Artemis laughed loudly. He had already heard the footsteps of Caroline in his room, so he thought to play a trick with her before she left his room, and he must admit that he was satisfied with its result. He smiled, recalling Caroline’s reaction after seeing him half naked.

“So tell me about your family.” Artemis asked, munching the breakfast.

“From where does that question comes all of a sudden?” Caroline asked because she was taken aback by that question of Artemis. She knew that she couldn’t lie to him because of his nose, which could smell lie anytime.

“Now that I’m going to marry you. I should know about all your family members, shouldn’t I? So, tell me.” Artemis said, sensing the reluctance to answer his simple question. He narrowed his eyes and started waiting for her to speak. ‘What are you hiding, Sarah? Tell me. What is about you so mysterious?’ He mentally thought.

“Don’t you think that you are taking everything too seriously?” Caroline gave him a weak smile by saying this, but Artemis eyed her suspiciously.

“I’m taking everything seriously because I’m serious about you, Sarah. I won’t ask again if you don’t want to tell me.” He said with a poker face.

“Umm.. my dad is a game programmer. And my mother… she sews and knits clothes for babies.” Caroline answered half-truth, hiding the fact that her parents actually own companies related to their work. Also, she didn’t go to the other works in which her parents were involved.

“Oh,” Artemis muttered. “I bet that your mother would have knitted sweaters and other things for you and your siblings.” He guessed to sense to check lie if Caroline would speak any.

“That’s true. She is too good in it.” Caroline said, nodding her head. “Not just my siblings but also all my cousins have worn the knitted sweaters, socks, and other things that were knitted by mom.” She answered with a big smile on her lips.

‘She is telling the truth.’ Bolt howled happily.

“I’m looking forward to meeting your mother soon.” Artemis said in pure admiration. “And what about siblings?”

“Two twins, identical brothers and two twins fraternal sisters,” Caroline replied. “They all are younger than me.”

“I see. Are they b***d-related to your parents?” Artemis asked

“Yes. They are. Everyone in the home knows or says in the entire family tree knows that I’m the most loved one.” Caroline said with a given smile on her face. “Not that I used to feel insecure of that fact that I’m adopted or anything like that. It’s just that my grandpa says that I’m the light of my parent’s life.” She said with pure happiness and started missing her parents.

“Also, grandpa says that the person who bought mom and dad closer was ME.” Caroline giggled when she said that. “Normally, a baby is the symbol of love between a couple, but as per grandpa, I’m the reason for their love story.” Caroline wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes after saying this.

“You know, nothing last forever..”

“What do you mean?” Caroline asked in confusion, thinking he was going to that her parents or happiness wouldn’t stay for forever.

“I mean, nothing last forever. Will you be my nothing?” Artemis asked in a serious tone on which Caroline picked the fork before threatening.

“Next time you will say something like this, then consider yourself DEAD. Do you understand that?”

Hearing her, even Artemis picked a fork and attacked the fork that Caroline was holding, “Let’s commit the perfect crime: I’ll steal your heart, and you steal mine.”

“You’re impossible,” Caroline said, shaking her head in disbelief, and soon a big smile formed on her lips. When her eyes landed on Artemis, he was smiling too.

After breakfast, they started their day by visiting Tibidabo, a local mountain with a beautiful church and amusement park from where they could see spectacular views of the city and surrounding countryside. After that, they visited Maremagnum shopping mall; Caroline got some of the memories of this place for her family members and suggested Artemis to the same.

By night they settled in the train to their stoppage, San Sebastian.

‘She is not human.’ Bolt said with confidence.

‘I know. No human can cover so many places in a day without getting tired. I’m a werewolf. That’s why I’m able to cope with everything with your presence, but I can say the same about Sarah.’ Artemis muttered, looking downward at the woman who was sleeping by placing her head on his chest and holding him close to him. ‘I think we already know what she is!’ he added.

‘A witch.’ Bolt said bluntly, on which Artemis nodded his head.

‘And if I’m not wrong, then she already knows about us. Witches are smarter than other creatures.’
