The King's Wife Is The Alpha's Mate
37 The Hansleys' Wolf Cub (2)
Anne pinched the bridge of her nose. Her face looked worried and she let out a long sigh. "Gosh… what do we do now…?"
It was a look that Sophie didn't want her mother to have, so she quickly raised a hand. "I'll find him! Don't worry about it, Mama. I'll make sure to correct what I did wrong."
Anne glanced down at her daughter. "Hmm… do you really think that you can do it?"
"Yes!" Sophie promised. "Lee and I sometimes go out for a walk together and I know his favorite places. I will look there."
Anne shook her head. "So, you and he are close. Then, why on earth you suggested your father sell him as fur pelt???"
Sophie pursed her lips and wiped her tears. She was so embarrassed when she remembered her words earlier. "It's because sometimes I think you love him more than you love me."
"Gosh… no, Sophie. You are my daughter. Of course, I love you more," Anne said quickly. She came to Sophie and rubbed her hair lovingly. "How could you think I love him more than I love you?"
"Well... because you just said that sharing blood with someone doesn't always mean you love that person."
"Huh?" Anne batted her eyes in surprise. Sophie just used her words against her in a way that she didn't expect. "Oh… you mean, what I told you about Lee's mother doesn't love him even though they share blood? It's true, but it doesn't mean all families are like that."
She looked at Sophie in the eyes and spoke sincerely, "It's just like most people get married for love and they have a happy and loving family. However, some people get married for other reasons than love, and they will build a family that lacks love and warmth. That's what happened to Lee's parents. There is no love in his family. So, that's why he left."
Sophie batted her eyes and looked at her mother with newfound respect. "So.. does that mean, you and father got married for love?"
"Yes," Anne replied with a smile. "We got married for love. That's why we can provide so much love for this family that someone like Lee can come and even get some of it too."
"Ohh… Mama… you are so kind," Sophie wrapped her hands around her mother's neck and hugged her. "I will also marry for love, like you and father. So, I could have a happy family."
Jack suddenly burst out laughing. "Gosh… Sophie, please don't say that. You are only five. I don't want to imagine you thinking about marriage. Not now, please… hahaha. I am not ready yet…"
Anne glared at her husband for ruining the solemn moment between her and Sophie just now, where she could make Sophie understand why they cared for their wolf cub.
"I'm sorry…" Jack cleared his throat. "Sophie, didn't you say you wanted to look for Lee?"
Sophie let go of her mother's neck and looked up to her father. "Yes."
"Good." Anne smiled and looked at her daughter. "Now, I want you to keep your eyes peeled and your ears extra sharp. I'm sure that you'll be able to find him because you're my daughter."
"I won't let you down, mama!" Sophie smiled at her mother before she stepped out of the house and ran into the forest.
It was really difficult for Sophie to actually find the wolf cub because it was incredibly fast and could hide in a lot of places without being seen. Not to mention when Sophie tried to listen to her surroundings, it was dizzying.
She tried to look for Lee in several places where they sometimes went together. She searched those places, but unfortunately, she still couldn't find the cub. So, Sophie decided to look deeper into the woods.
There were several owls hooting and even insects like grasshoppers chirping and rubbing their legs. It was so confusing, but Sophie did her best to concentrate and focus. She closed her eyes and tried to remember what a wolf cub sounded like.
Sophie finally heard the sound of whimpering and she quickly followed down the trail of the forest. She didn't know where to look first, but then she saw the wolf cub in what appeared to be a small cave. The wolf cub's blue and green eyes glowed in the darkness and Sophie sighed in relief.
"There you are," she said.
The wolf cub growled at her angrily and retreated further into the cave. It was a little scary for Sophie, but she knew that the wolf cub actually knew who she was and wouldn't bite her.
"Hey, I know you're mad at me," Sophie frowned and knelt on the ground to look the wolf cub in the eyes. "And I'm sorry… I don't even know why I'm apologizing to a wolf cub, but you need to come back with me."
The white wolf cub shook its head. Then it looked away - looking very displeased with Sophie.
"Grr…" Sophie stood up. "We can do this the hard way or easy way."
The wolf cub looked at her with suspicion in its eyes and only bared its teeth at her. But before the wolf cub knew it, Sophie actually leaped in the cave to grab for him. The wolf cub immediately yelped and tried to get away.
He might have scratched her accidentally if he bared his claws, so, unfortunately, the wolf cub found himself gathered in Sophie's arms.
"Phew, you're really heavy," Sophie commented. "Probably because you eat all the meat in our house. Fat wolf."
The wolf cub glared at her.
