I didn’t know what came over me. I felt a burning desire I had never felt before in my entire life. A

burning desire to possess a woman. And not just any woman.

Serena.

I couldn’t get her out of my head despite trying to: her brown, wavy hair, her hazel eyes, her rosy

cheeks, her overall bearing, and of course, her lips—those pale pink flesh that I had tasted during our

wedding.

Being a woman, I should be loathing everything about her, but I found myself leaning in another

direction.

Fuck.

I grabbed the chalice on the table filled with my favorite wine straight from Hest, the realm of magical

creatures. The grapes in their kingdom were the best and it was known far and wide. Trying to contain

the woman’s thoughts from taking over my control, my grip of the chalice tightened, and consequently,

it dented.

From my embedded fingers there replaced a gaping whole. The wine immediately seeped out of it. I

cursed under my breath and sent the destroyed chalice flying over the oval table and hitting the wall.

‘Mate…’ my lycan side growled out again, effectively reminding me of my stupidity back when I was a

kid. I should have never created that word and put meaning to it. In my loneliness, the idea of a woman

created only for me entertained my juvenile mind. It was the only light that gave me hope in a life

surrounded by emptiness.

Now my stupidity had come to bite me in the ass. Big time.

Why would my wolf think a woman like that would exist? I certainly killed that idea decades ago.

While in my state of confusion, I felt the mark on my wrist throb. I stared at it feeling disgusted, but that

disgust didn’t last long. My eyes blurred and soon enough darkness surrounded me.

The next thing I knew, my wolf form surfaced. I heard its thoughts and it was crying out one word.

“Mine.”

And it was directed to the woman now sleeping inside my chamber. With my heightened smell, I could

scent her and the perfumed oil she just used in her night bath.

“No!” I quickly yelled, disapproving the sudden idea popping in its head.

Under normal circumstances, my wolf side, lycan side, and I would always have an agreement. Never

had there been a time we argued or even shared different thoughts. I was them and they were me. We

were one and the same. We were one body, one spirit, and one heart. That was exactly the reason why

my bloodline became royalty.

I always had control.

But now, it seemed I wasn’t.

I could feel my beast’s lust on the woman. It was overwhelming. Not only that, I sensed our heart

shifting towards her; caring her, loving her.

I adamantly shook my head and tried to ignore what we…what I was feeling. It was impossible for me

to care for a woman, much less love her. I have sworn my hate on their gender. Sworn to myself that I

didn’t need them to survive.

I was alright with that idea in the past. Until this woman poofed into my life…

My huge paws had effectively destroyed the oval cabinet when I jumped over it and into the exit door.

There was not a smidgen of worry I felt when I crashed through the door and out into the hallway

leaving splinters of wood on my wake.

The need to be close to my new wife was unbearable. It was eating me up, but I tried as much as I

could to gain back my control. It was unfortunately fruitless.

The moment I arrived inside my chamber, I ran straight into my bedroom and scanned for the

whereabouts of the woman.

Despite under the cover of darkness, I saw her sleeping soundly, and just as I expected, she didn’t

sleep in my bed.

‘It’s an easy fix,’ my lycan mind commented.

I neared her; every step my paws took made my wolf side excited. I on the other hand was feeling

horrified. I knew already what my wolf wanted to do to her. It wanted to mark her again; with its teeth

preferably, and it wanted to mate with her.

Just the thought of sharing a bed with her made my insides turn, how much more if we go intimate?

With the last of my strength, I ordered my wolf side to stop. It didn’t listen to me.

With that, I found myself closing our gap. My huge head would likely surprise her if she wakes up, but I

wanted to get a closer look at my sleeping wife.

She was beautiful, my wolf growled. And fit too.

Like all other backstabbing whore in this kingdom! my thoughts stressed out.

In response, my wolf growled louder; clearly not liking my choice of words.

Because of this, my wife’s eyes flung open. She sat up and quickly stared at me. As a human, I

expected her to scream but she actually didn’t.

Instead, she spoke my name.

In response, my wolf howled inside, pleased with her reaction. Before I could hold myself, I licked her.

This got her eyes to widen some more.

“Please don’t eat me!” she cried out. I found it comical so I laughed, or more like grunted in front of her

with my wolf form.

I circled her couch all the while my eyes were trained on her. I sensed her blood rushing to her heart

more than normal. I whiffed her scent heightening too no doubt due to fear. It would be funny to prank

her with this form, but no. Oh no. Pranking her wasn’t what my wolf wanted to do.

I growled again and bobbed my head up, signaling her to stand up.

She immediately did with both hands raised. “Are we going to my realm now?”

My wolf growled louder, displeased to hear her words. “No,” was what it said in my thoughts. “Never.”

“I want her out of here!” I added, but my wolf just ignored me.

Using my snout, I pointed to the bed.

Despite the darkness surrounding her, I could immediately see the change of color on her face to white.

“Why do you want me to go there? I thought we agreed there will be no consummation of our marriage.

The wedding is a fake just in case you forgot!”

My wolf growled in response and snapped its mouth in front of her. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Don’t you dare do that to me,” she pointed out. “I trusted you!”

I was beyond amazed by her suddenly. She stood up on her ground despite how tiny she was as

compared to my towering form.

Maybe I should give her some credit for doing this.

But my wolf wouldn’t budge too. “Mine,” it said and decided to jump onto her.
