---- Promise me.


    Thold his hand in mine and give it a firm squeeze.


    Rest assured Lordie.


    I promise you.


    Zariyan is first my mate and then your daughter.


    I will always protect her.


    That''s like my boy.


    He pulls me into a hug and I hug him back.


    Feeling like home.


    There was no lie in my words.


    Even if he hadn''t asked me to.


    I would have still protected her with my everything Zariyan Volkov was a mess.


    And T am afraid a Cret like me isnt afraid to get his hands dirty.


    ---- eee Chapter 290 I wake up in an unfamiliar room.


    Furrowing my brows, I crane my neck to a side to only have a searing pain burn my neck.


    Ah shit! What the Fu- Don''t jerk your neck for a few days.


    Its gonna be fine.


    I look up to find him sitting there on his study table, signing some papers and pure fury rushes inside me as I remembered what happened before I lost consciousness.


    T get up from the bed to rush towards the mirror and tears sting my eyes as I find two puncture marks on my neck.

    But why...

    Don''t don''t you dare touch me! ---- Hurt shes in his eyes.


    But it was gone the very next second.


    Putting on that usual face of indifference, he clenched his fists to look down at me.


    See Zariyan.


    I understand that you are angry- Stop it Damian! Stop it! You dont understand shit! Just let me be! Don''te close to me! What you did...


    I can never forgive it! ver! You forced me dammit- Tt was just marking,Zariyan.


    Stop creating a fuss out of it.


    Mates do it the first time they meet.


    I still waited months for you to get ready.


    He wasn''t even sorry for it.


    This asshole.


    He spoke as if it was the most casual thing to do in the world.


    T don''t care what others mates do! I didn''t wanted you to do it! Undo it! Remove this mark from my neck! I scratch my neck to get rid of it when he shakes his head in a no.


    T''s not some tattoo that can be removed.


    It''s a
