Carnivals: Claimed By The Deranged Alpha Prince [BL]-Chapter 330: Jules

Jules pov

I scratched the kitten behind its ears and it purred and bared its throat some more, making me laugh softly at the cuteness of it all. I haven’t gotten the time for the cute kitten till right now since after we arrived from the demon clan, I had instantly gone into heat and had only finally been able to resume my normal life today. Thinking of the fact that I actually had a heat was still a little embarrassing and I’ve still refused to let myself think of all those things Blaze claimed I did while in the middle of my heat.

"What are you gonna call it?" Kim asked as he noticed my presence on stepping in here. He walked up to me and crouched before the cat and he reached out to strike the kitten as well. Kim was the one who cared for the kitten throughout the time I wasn’t available and I had already thanked him for that.

"I’m not sure." I responded honestly before picking the kitten up and rising to my feet. The kitten purred as I placed it against my chest, snuggling into me and making my chest squeeze tight. I knew my mind hasn’t been playing mind tricks when it kept pushing at me to take it along with me while leaving. It had been the weakest and smallest out do the rest of the kitten there but I ended up liking it at first glance. It reminded me of myself in a way, I had been that way in the midst of my family; but at the end of the day, I had ended up rising up and also achieving great things.

"You should call it ’Jules’." Kim suggested and I glanced at me as my mind pondered on his suggestion. It didn’t sound bad the more I think about it right now.

"You think so?" I asked and Kim nodded as he stroked the kitten again before dropping his hand.

"Of course. No one calls you Jules anymore and I kind of like that name. If you call it that, that name will live on for now." Kim explained and in a way, his explanation was very logical. I also liked that name and in a way, I’d never part ways with it because now it’s significant to me since I lived the most significant part of my life so far while answering that name.

"You know what? You’re right. I think I’ll really call him Jules." I informed Kim who instantly appeared pleased.

"That’s good. I approve of it." He breathed out and after a few seconds, we both laughed softly.

"You okay though?" Kim asked after about ten minutes had passed. I hummed as I nodded my head in response.

"Of course, I am. Apart fron me finding out that all my council members hated me and were planning on killing me, I’m perfectly fine." I responded and Kim let out a grim laugh as he shook his head.

"Still can’t believe that was real." Kim breathed out and I couldn’t agree more.

"Tell me about it." I mumbled before we began to leave the room after I returned the kitten into its litter box. I’ll come pay it a visit tonight before I go to bed, it’s about to become my best friend from the looks of things.

The thoughts of best friends made the past briefly flash before my mind but I didn’t let it settle for too long before shoving it away, but not before a flash of pain pulsed through my mind at the thought of Elio. I still miss him so much and I still feel guilty about his death. He never deserved to die. He literally had a wish which was to live a comfortable life and give the same to his family and that was the end of it.

Kim noticed the change in my mood and nudged my shoulder.

"Everything good?" He asked quietly and I nodded while clearing my throat to try getting out the lump that had gathered in it right now.

"Yup." I breathed out before trying to change the subject.

"And you? How are you feeling?" I asked and Kim rolled his eyes before shrugging.

"Why do you ask? I’m doing perfectly fine." He responded almost immediately but I stared at him harder, trying to read his face, but the expression on his face was easy and giving completely nothing away.

"Are you sure?" I asked after about a minute and Kim nodded again.

"Of course I am. Why wouldn’t I be?" He questioned and I rolled my eyes. I didn’t want to mention the obvious but since he was acting oblivious, I decided to go ahead.

"Roy and his boyfriend." I stated but Kim kept on staring at me like he was expecting me to say something more.

"And...? Are you gonna say anything else?" He continued and I narrowed my eyes at him, making him roll his eyes as he placed a hand on my shoulder.

"I’m serious, Labs. There’s nothing on my mind about Roy and his boyfriend. I have no opinion on their relationship and it’s none of my business." He breathed out and he sounded extremely earnest but I didn’t buy it at all. I knew he was only lying right now. I wanted to press him harder and get him to admit the truth to me, but I ended up deciding against it.

"Ugh, fine." I mumbled, knowing that in no time, he was gonna break. I didn’t know why Roy suddenly emerged with a boyfriend, just when he was very obsessed and into Kim. It wasn’t adding up to me and it made no sense to me, but that’s for me to wait till it gets unraveled.

"We’ll be having dinner tonight and Roy and his boyfriend are gonna be in attendance. Are you gonna be fine with that?" I asked and Kim hummed as he dropped his hand.

"Of course. Why wouldn’t I be?"
