Chapter 121: Reasons Not To Mark

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

I noticed this a few days ago. I felt closer to Michael emotionally, but I thought it was because we had more contact. But Michael didn’t seem to be implying that at the moment. And what about Lycan and marking?

Michael pretended to be dissatisfied and complained, “You’re so passionate every day. You’re almost squeezing me dry. I didn’t realize you had such a lewd side to you!”

I couldn’t bear it anymore as I listened to him twist the truth. “Explain what you meant.”

Michael said, “I’ve been keeping you locked up for the past few days. Are you dissatisfied? Do you still think I’m an unreasonable tyrant?”

‘Aren’t you?’ I didn’t dare to retort directly. Instead, I only glanced at Michael.

“I’m not a dictator, Cecily.” Michael sighed. “I do things for my reasons. I don’t expect everyone to understand me, but you’re my mate. So I demand that you maintain your trust in me. Do you understand?”

I nodded. In my heart, I still wanted him to explain what had just happened.

Michael didn’t continue to keep me in suspense. He said frankly, “You saw it the other day in the forest. I lost control.

“My wolf took control of my body and acted according to its will. On that day, I almost attacked you. I realized the seriousness of the problem and stopped it in time, but its power was too strong. I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to control it the next time it comes out.”

“You stopped it?” I said in surprise. “But Sasha said that you’ve never taken the initiative to leave that state and that there might be a reason for it.”

Michael’s gaze softened. “Silly child, how could Sasha know it as well as I do?” I’ve lived in the same body with him for so many years. We’re both fated to be together, but we’re also enemies. I’ve been trying to find a balance with him all these years. This kind of confrontation is always between him and me. External forces can’t help.”

I thought about it and felt that what Michael said made sense. Just like Mia and I, Mia was in my body. Usually, only I could talk to her and communicate with her. This kind of symbiotic pattern was not something outsiders could participate in.

“But, you did play a great role that day.” Michael changed the topic and continued, “Although the person who stopped the wolf in my body was still me, it was also under your stimulation.

......

“When you suddenly appeared before me, I could feel that my wolf was very angry. This is because its origin was endless power. Under the drive of anger, it would want to release its power through all means, such as killing that b*stard or marking its mate.”

I recalled the scene that day and said in embarrassment, “You can mark me.”

“No, I can’t do that.” Michael shook his head unexpectedly.

‘Why not?’

I looked at Michael in surprise and suddenly remembered the lie I had told Michael a long time ago. I told him I couldn’t accept his mark to avoid intimate contact with him. Since I returned, I hadn’t explained this to him again.

I was about to speak, but Michael spoke first. “It’s not because of your lame excuse. I’ve always been very familiar with your physical condition, but the wolf in me is special. If I didn’t control my beast in time that day and let it use its nature to mark you and your wolf, then you would probably be killed by me.”

“That’s impossible!” I thought Michael was being alarmist. “No werewolf will die by his mate’s mark.”

“That’s because you are all werewolves,” Michael said. “There is a certain risk associated with the Lycans and werewolves. You can think of it as two glasses. Nothing will happen if you move the water back and forth between two glasses of equal height. But if you exchange the water between a bucket and a glass, if you’re not careful, the water will easily drown the glass. That means danger.”

“So that day, it wasn’t I who saved you, but you who saved me.” I slowly digested Michael’s words.

After listening to what Sasha said, I thought I was the one who treated Michael differently.

According to Michael, I didn’t have any special abilities that could control the wolf in Michael’s body. It was just that the relationship between Michael and me was slightly affected because of my former mate.

“To be precise, you saved yourself,” Michael said. “But only you can do that. I would have completely torn them apart if it were anyone else.”

“What about what you said about me turning into a Lycan?”

“This involves the evolution of werewolves. We have people in the royal family who study this issue. You must have heard about the theory of evolution from your education in human society,” Michael said.
