The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 481

Ember and Morpheus looked around the entire palace premises to decide where to grow the gigantic tree for Morpheus to build his nest.

"It's really difficult to decide," Ember sighed and turned to Morpheus. "Did you like any place?"

"I'm not sure," he replied, as if he wasn't keen on having his nest around here. It would be difficult to stay away from her if he had to stay close by. All he could do was curse Draven.

Ember thought for a moment and turned to face him. "Carry me to the top of the palace. From there, I'll see which spot looks better."

Carry her? Morpheus screamed in his mind. That meant she would be so close to him, and…

"Ember, just decide on whatever place you feel is fine. No need to think so much about it."

"That won't do. It's the place you'll be living, so it should be the best one," she insisted, stepping closer to him. "Carry me now, don't waste time. I have my lessons with Lady Helia soon."

Morpheus sighed inwardly. He almost held his breath and finally carried her in his arms. His majestic wings unfurled, now golden in color, and even his hair turned gold as he flew away with her.

In a moment, they reached the topmost part of the palace. He placed Ember down and finally exhaled. Ember simply looked at him and said, "Don't close your wings." _{freёweɓnovel.com}

Morpheus stopped and watched as she walked behind him.

She gazed at his golden wings and said, "Truly beautiful, even better than the previous shade you used to have." She moved her hand to touch the shiny golden feathers, but Morpheus sensed her intentions and immediately turned around, leaving her hand hanging in the air.

She gave him a look, as if she had been wronged, and said, "I was just checking how they feel to touch."

"You can't just touch the wings of a beast," he said in a restrained voice.

"Yes, you've said it before," she replied. "It's just that whenever I saw Aureus' golden wings, I always wondered how they felt. But you said I can't touch the wings of a male, so I didn't dare ask Aureus to let me touch his wings."

Morpheus' expression turned grave at the thought of his mate liking another male's wings and even wishing to touch them. Even if that male was his nephew, it was not acceptable.

"But I know a female can touch her mate's wings, and you are my mate. So why can't I do it?" she asked, her expression saddened. "Do you still not consider me your mate? Do you still mind that I am human?"

Morpheus felt helpless in front of her. She was his mate, and saying 'No' to her was as impossible as not breathing.

"Only once," he let out a shaky breath. Read the latest on Freewebnovel

Ember felt delighted, still not knowing why he didn't want her to touch his wings. "Then turn around."

Morpheus turned around, his majestic golden wings wide open to let his mate see them. At the same time, all the nerves in his body tensed up, even before she touched his wings.
