---- all others out there, not the other way round.


    I didn''t wanted to steal that light in her eyes, but at the same time I don''t want her getting hurt just because of her ridiculous ideologies.


    She was too stubborn for her own good, she never takes a no for an answer.


    She will do what she has to do and no one can stop her, not even her own father, our very King of this nation.


    Zariyan Volkov is a challenge.


    She is like that most notorious and rogue wolf in a pack who wants to defy her Alpha at every other step.


    She is the wildest to tame and that''s the very reason.


    she needs maximum protection of her Alpha.


    And I am doing exactly that.


    I will root my canines into her nape to bring her back to safety if have to.


    I will hover over her and growl at her till her voice subsides down.


    She has to submit to me for her own good.


    ---- eee And I will make her do it.


    Whether she likes it or not.


    Aghhhhhh Her screams muffle down under my palms as I continue to mark her, my canines root in deeper and I feel her entire body shivering and withering under me in pain.


    I didn''t wanted to do this.


    But this was myst resort.


    She left me with no choice.


    I was tired of her useless talks of rejecting her and giving up on this marriage.


    I was tired of her impractical talks of freedom.


    I have been patient with her for so long.


    I endured all the bullshit she throws at me.


    I even ignored how she made a fool of Lordie and me in front of the entire council by being drunk and staggering around.


    But these talks of rejection.


    I can''t listen to this anymore.


    My blood boils when she even utters that word.


    ---- -_ She was mine.


    Only mine.


    Why doesn''t she fuvking understand it? She cant run from me, from us, or this bond.


    We are meant to bem he future.


    Her present.


    Her everything.


    This is moon goddesses will.


    And neither of us can go against it.


    However, the barter I offered her wasn''t a lie.


    ---- eee = Chapter 287 I will give her a choice.


    But I will leave her too dependent, too vulnerable to go against me.


    Marking is the first stage of consummation of the bond between two mates.


    Once a female gets marked, no way in hell can she stay away from her mate at the night of her heat Her beast, her wolf will crawl out of her very chest if it has to, to reach her mate.


    And that''s exactly what I offered her.


    I tricked her to believe, she had hope when I myself choked out all the light.


    It''s impossible for her to note to me and beg me to take her on the night of heat one day before our marriage.


    No woman in history has been able to survive her heat without her mate.


    They had walked for thousands of miles.
