Chapter 170 (Feelings)

Alex got quite surprised but he did already expect this.

He knows this is who Catherine was. She was not a woman that would always like to get protected... A strong and independent woman... that's who she is. Right from the very start she never did use anything to make him protect her... looks? body? No! She didn't want to offer any of that.

It was his choice and a coincidence that somehow both of them have the same enemy... She never wanted to rely on anyone. If she ever did the Black Widow Organization would already be raze to the ground by the Dark Wrath before he arrive in the city.

What got him confused is how she accepted on being his woman. Her reasoning was vague to understand. What she said before, even she herself didn't understand how... deep inside her heart he is treated as its most important person in the world, as if he was apart of her. A heart that found its other half.

Alex smiled and said, "Is that so? I will leave it to you girls to protect me then."

"My feelings is the same as what she said... I guess, Catherine loves you a lot." Alex said with a meaningful smile.

"I didn't think it was this serious, but she is right." Selena said.

"Hm, Hm, just leave it to this princess to protect you." Clara nodded.

"Hehe, that's my sister for you... you are really lucky" Eva giggled.

"That's right, I also don't want to keep getting protected. Although it's quite ironic with my situation right now. Still, in the future I won't let it happen again." Violette said.

"Cough* Cough* Although I want to be protected by you... But I don't want to always bother you with it." Kiara faked a cough and said.

"Heh! With me around? I see who dares touch you! I'm the only one who can beat you up." Scáthach snorted.

...

"See? they have the same idea as me. Not to break this mood and not to be harsh but I think I have the right position to say this. If you are only with him because of his power and looks I think you should fix that and love him with all of your heart. Because if you don't... and even have the slightest though of betraying him. I, myself will end you." Catherine said seriously.

He got surprised but he didn't say anything. He was also curious of what would the others say.

"Kyahh, so scary! Hehe, don't worry I've already grown to love him." Clara giggle mischievously and move towards her and cling to her arm.

"I'm serious, you know." Catherine said looking at this girl who is clinging on to her.

"Haha, she is just trying to lighten up the mood. As for me don't worry I don't know if it's lust or love... but if its not love I will try... err... no I will surely learn to love him. It's not even a week before we met. And I don't want to rush things up." Eva laughed and also went to her other side and link their arms.

"Hmm... I think Eva is frustrated so it's pretty sure it's lust, Haha. And about me you also don't need to worry about it, for this past two weeks being with him. I'm already used to his presence and I can't even imagine life without him anymore." Violette laughed.

"What did you say? Humph! Says the one who seduced him at the very moment they met. You can't hold your lust huh? Haha." Eva also countered with a laugh.

"Heh! Then how about you, Selena? I'm pretty sure its lust." Violette also included Selena. As they are the quite mature women in this group.

"Yeah! Pretty sure of it." Eva nodded.

"I disdain fighting both of you. Of course, mine is love. I love him at the very start I just don't know why when we met a couple of days ago this familial love turned into something more." Selena shrugged.

"Okay-okay stop! Let's hear what the others have to say?." Catherine said and turned to Alexia, Kiara, Rose, and even Zeth was included.

"I'm sure you already know my answer." Alexia smiled

"I see," Catherine nodded.

"Then how about you three?." Catherine continued.

"I'm still his temporary girlfriend. I will learn to love him don't worry." Kiara said

"At the start, I only wanted him to protect me. You should know that I was always getting bullied by everyone around me. So, when he protected me I appreciated it but I still didn't love him at that time. Still, I offered my body so that he will keep on protecting me. I didn't have any other choices with my state back then... I couldn't think straight.

The more I spend time with him and the others. I felt guilty because I saw how the other girls like Alexia with their eyes full of love when they look at him. I thought that I could never beat them but still... I'm sure he has noticed what my purpose is and yet he didn't say anything. He even treated me equally like how he treats the others.

As the days goes by I felt even more guilty... and one night I had this dream where I was really powerful. I could beat everyone who tried to bully me until I reach the very top. But I noticed something different between that dream and reality. In the dream he wasn't there I tried to search him with all my power but it all amount to nothing.

That's when I realize that I need him. I love him. If he isn't there anymore I don't know what would I do. I may have power but a part of me is still missing. After I wake up from that dream I treated him full of love since then until now."

Rose completely explained what her feelings for Alex was.

The others were quite surprised but no one said anything because the words in their mouth are better left unsaid. He smiled when he heard her answer. He didn't expect this. Although he knew what her feelings are at the start and how it suddenly change... he didn't know about the dream.

"I guess... that's good." Catherine smiled

Finally, the last one, Zeth.

"Cough* I think we should not include her for now?." Catherine faked a cough and wondered.

"I think it's fine... Zeth what do you think about him?." Alexia said and as she went to Zeth's side.

"Oh? It's fine. I like him." Zeth said but her expression still didn't change.

"I think that's acceptable for now?." Alexia asked the others. The others nodded in response... it seems Zeth didn't quite understand emotions for now.

"Cough* Cough* Should I say something?." Alex faked a cough and asked. He felt that he should say something when he heard what their feeling for him are.

"We know already! You don't need to say anything! I'm pretty sure you would get another woman sooner or later. Sho-sho! We want to take the pills already! I'm really envious of Catherine right now." Violette rolled her eyes and shooed him away.

The other also ignored him while rolling their eyes as they proceed to quickly consume a pill for each of them.

"Hey! I promise okay? No woman for now!."

"Like we believe that..." His woman said in unison.

"Heh! If you dare to go look for one again. I would be the first one to kill you before I kill myself." Scáthach looked at him with piercing gaze, she didn't need to take the pill. As there would be no effect for immortal like her.

"What are you looking at with that eyes of yours... I dare you! If I feel that Yandere vibe again. I will punish you.

Scáthach snorted in response.
