NOVEL NEXT Is It The Ale?
After a few moments of kissing in the sky, they descended back to the balcony.
Wanda's eyes were still filled with wonder. "How is this possible?" she asked again, her voice laden with astonishment.
Jerry grinned. "Let's just say I found a way back to you, my Witch."
Pietro, finally catching up to them on the balcony, wore a mixture of relief and annoyance on his face.
In the back of his mind, he had already guessed who the handsome man who just kissed his sister could be, he had seen this body in the Cocoon's chamber, after all.
But just to be sure, he asked again, "Wanda, who's this guy, and why did kissed you?"
Wanda just gave him a beaming smile and hugged Jerry again.
Pietro rolled his eyes but couldn't hide the relief in his expression.
"Sup, Pietro. If you still haven't caught on yet, then I'm Jerry," Jerry greeted, a casual ease in his demeanor.
"I... see. But that doesn't explain how you're back from the dead and most importantly why you were kissing." Pietro frowned.
"Leave!" Wanda scolded in a playful yet commanding voice.
"...Oh well, I'll leave you too alone then," Pietro replied with a smirk.
But Pietro didn't just leave, the guy went around the whole city casually dropping the bomb of Jerry's return, of course, he told Thor and Frigga too, but he didn't tell Odin. Pietro didn't like Odin.
The news spread like wildfire and soon, Frigga and Thor barged into Wanda's chambers.
The love birds perked up, they were catching up on the last few days.
"Is this young man really Jerry Anderson, Wanda?" Frigga inquired with a mix of curiosity and concern.
Wanda nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, I'm sure."
Frigga sighed, still a bit unsatisfied, afraid that her daughter-like girl might be getting deceived.
"How is that even possible? A soul returning from death..." Thor muttered.
They looked at Jerry for the answer, even Wanda.
Jerry exhaled, standing up with Wanda, he answered, "I am not sure but in the beginning, I was a human and then one day I woke up in the creature's body I was previously occupying, and now after dying, I woke up in this body that I was creating.
He sighed, "I don't know whether this is happening due to a curse or boon. But this is definitely happening because of some external entity..."
Frigga was a bit still skeptical but decided to trust Wanda's judgment and Jerry's words for now.
"Well, it's good as long as it's really you, and our Wanda is happy," Frigga remarked with a wry smile, her hand gently caressing Wanda's cheek.
Thor gave a nod as well.
"Then today, we will be having a celebratory feast for the return of Jerry!" Frigga clapped her hands showing excitement, but the grace of a queen was still there.
After exchanging a few more words, they left, leaving Jerry and Wanda alone again.
Jerry looked at Wanda with a playful smile, "So, how do you like my new look?"
Wanda tapped her cheeks with a mischievous smile, "Hmm... You don't look that bad, but your nose could have used some work..."
"Hey! My nose is perfect!" Jerry protested, earning a giggle from Wanda.
"And how does my physique look?" Jerry asked, removing the upper portion of his suit.
He revealed a well-defined, manly chest and godly sculpted abs that left Wanda speechless. The innocent girl gulped.
As the two continued to banter and enjoy each other's company, the sun dipped below the horizon, casting the balcony in a gentle evening glow.
A few maids knocked on the door, they were here to ready Wanda and Jerry for the grand feast tonight.
The couple reluctantly parted with each other for the moment.
As the night came, the celebration hall was filled with people. Jerry and Thor also entered the hall.
Jerry was outfitted in a new suit. It looked similar to Maw's outfit, just the colors were changed to blue and white. The coat was highly detailed, with golden ornate patterns on the shoulders and cuffs.

The color combination looked good on his blonde hair, white skin, and blue eyes.
Meanwhile, Thor was in his usual attire.
Soon Wanda also entered the hall with Sif and Frigga. And her beauty took Jerry's breath away. She was adorned with a red gown, golden accessories, and a beautiful tiara.
"Close your mouth, dude," Pietro said to Jerry, snorting.
Nodding and closing his mouth, Jerry made his way towards his girl.
"You look breathtaking, Wanda! Absolutely stunning!" Jerry blushed a bit.
Wanda smiled, scrunching her nose in embarrassment.
Receiving compliments from a guy was as new to her as giving compliments to a girl for Jerry.
They exchanged a few words with each other, and before long, the king of Asgard, All-Father Odin, entered the hall to officially start the occasion by offering a small toast to Jerry's return.
Soon Pietro was found with a cute Asgardian girl.
"That girl looks wasted on him," Jerry commented and Wanda agreed.
And then he was taken away by Thor's friends and was made to drink ale and eat loads of meat.
Jerry could control how much he wanted to get drunk by manipulating the metabolism of his own body but for now, he chose to enjoy the moment.
His return was celebrated with some good enthusiasm, Jerry wondered if these warriors were more excited about his return or the ale and women that were in the party.
And soon he got to know which one was it when the attention from him went away after a while.
The warriors chugged ancient ales and shouted about the glory and feats of their past battles, they devoured full-course meat, danced, and flirted with the woman of their choice, some with multiple women at once.
The ladies also didn't hold back, they enjoyed the party as much as men did. They also didn't shy away from surrounding their favorite man.
A couple of them even tried to get close to Jerry, pressing their breasts on his arms and all. But Jerry courteously rejected their advances. Wanda felt a little jealous and she pulled Jerry to a vacant corner of the hall.
"You will get devoured if you're with those thirsty girls." Wanda huffed.
"Haha, did that upset you perhaps?" Jerry chuckled, enjoying her reaction.
"And you too, Jerry. You looked quite pleased when they pressed their chest on your arm." As Wanda said that her eyes inadvertently went towards her own bosom, comparing hers with the girls that pressed theirs on Jerry.
Noticing that and feeling a bit mischievous, he went close to her ears and whispered in a soft and sensual voice, "It's yours that I truly want though..."
Wanda pursed her lips in embarrassment.
Perhaps it was the alcohol, but Jerry decided to tease her more and gave a short nibble on her ears. Blood rose to her face, turning her cheeks and nose completely red.
Jerry couldn't take it anymore, she was too cute and his sadistic side wanted to devour her right now and here.
But he controlled himself.
It was not like Jerry was some playboy.
But still... Jerry decided to speak his mind with Wanda.
"I... I can't h-."
"Can't hold back?" Wanda finished his sentence. "Your thoughts have been really dirty since the moment you complimented."
Her breath rate was increasing, she was feeling something in her core as well.
Perhaps, it was the alcohol for her too.
