The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 363

Ember saw an elf woman with her child playing in the flower field. The woman was wearing the usual clothes of the elf clan while the child was wearing clothes that the white tiger clan members wore. The child sure was a white tiger as he didn't have pointed ears like his elf mother and neither did he look like her.

"Watch out, son. You will hurt yourself," the woman shouted as she watched her son running and jumping around the field happily.

"I won't, mother," a child replied who looked like a human child of age of four to five.

"Seems like her mate is a white tiger," Ember mumbled.

But then a man came to them and lifted a child. "Father," the child clung on the man's neck and asked cheerfully, "You are back, father?"

"Hmm," the man replied as he patted the child's head gently.

"Will father play with me?" he asked.

The man nodded and put the child down only to be dragged away by him to the flower field.

It shocked Ember. The man didn't look like a white tiger but she was sure he was from a fox clan. His features and his signature clothes gave out his identity. Ember had already learned to identify all the different clan members now and she was sure she was not mistaken.

"How come a fox is the father of white tiger? Even the mother is an elf," Ember mumbled once again, which was heard by Baruel's wife.

"Umm, about that, Lady Ember?" the woman started and Ember looked at her.

"Her name is Rina. She is the daughter of the chief of the valley elf clan," the woman informed. _{freēwēbnovel.com}

"Is there something I am not understanding here?" Ember asked.

The woman explained, "Rina's first mate was a white tiger but he died due to some reason. At that time she was already carrying his child and then gave birth to him. Later her current mate, the fox clan member persuaded her and she ended up having him as her mate."

"Second mate?" Ember asked, though she had already heard that in agartha females can have multiple mates.

The woman nodded. "She had a child with her and one needs a mate to continue living this long life."

"Her first husband died then it's fine to have another companion for life," Ember agreed and asked, "Does that mean she now doesn't love her previous mate?"

"It's not the case. The bond mates share is the bond between their souls and it's painful when one leaves. It was not easy for her either. She was broken for long but her second mate persuaded her. She is fortunate to have another mate who cares and loves her the same as her previous mate. She must remember him but you can not do anything for one who is gone. The ones who are left need to continue living."

"But I heard males can't do the same, right?" Ember asked. She was sure she would never have another mate but she also could not imagine Draven having another mate. In her opinion she was the only one he should always have.
