Illusion
Swana was curious because Curtis did not answer. She began to wonder what Curtis was doing inside, that he wasn't answering her calls.
"Is he injured and passed out in the room?" Swana's question. She remembered that Curtis had experienced a brutal battle. The fight in the Gladiator arena was so terrible. Swana could see Curtier's back that was hit by his opponent.
"Why didn't I notice that earlier. He might be hurt." Swana quickly opened the door Curtis' room.
But when she opened the door, What he saw was not what he had imagined. What she saw, was a man with a bare back and his back to her. Actually, he really wasn't wearing anything so featuring a stunning muscular body.
That muscle-sculpted body was amazing. Swana was overwhelmed by the sight of Curtis' completely naked back.
Swana should have run for her purity and her virgin. Something demanded by all grooms-to-be from the nobility. Strangely, Swana was not afraid. On the contrary, Her body refused to move away. Instead, she craved for Curtis to come closer.
"Ethan..."
An overwhelming heat overcame Swana. She wanted to touch that body. Her hands trembled as if screaming to touch Curtis' body. Stroking and feeling what Curtis' skin felt like. This feeling is really driving her crazy.
Swana's call caused Curtis turned around, facing that girl. Slowly, the man approached. Every step he took was manly and impressive. Swana had never seen a man walk so gracefully and demand respect from all who saw him.
"You are mine, now or ever..." Curtis confirmed his ownership of Swana.
But it wasn't Curtis' statement that bothered Swana. The beauty of Curtis' body and voice were the only things that filled her brain.
Swana even held her breath when she heard Curtis' voice.
"Ethan..."
Swana was really struggling to breathe easily. It was like she was looking at the statue of Adonis in front of her.
'Even Ethan's voice is sexy?' Swana asked herself.
She was intoxicated by Ethan's looks and voice.
Suddenly Swana's vision went blank. She felt everything around her disappear. There were only flowers blooming around her and Curtis.
"Mine. You're mine Swana..."
Curtis said that with confidence and obsession. His hands unhesitatingly touched Swana's clothes and gently pulled them off. Then it was the turn of his face to come closer to Swana's nape. He quickly bit Swana to make a mark there.
Swana's body froze. She seemed to be sucked into an overwhelming pleasure as Curtis bit the back of her neck.
"Ethan... what is this?"
The more Curtis deepened his bite, the more pleasure Swana felt. Swana even unconsciously wrapped her arms around Curtis' neck. She wanted him to deepen what he was doing.
But that did not last long. Swana began to feel more and more pain. The pleasure that consumed her earlier, slowly disappeared.
"Kyaa!"
The stinging sensation awakened Swana. She took a few steps back from Curtis. Her hand held the stinging nape of her neck.
Only then did she realize that what she saw earlier was an illusion. Curtis was not in front of her. There were no flowers blooming. And the heat on the back of her neck had disappeared too.
This left Swana confused.
"What's going on?" said Swana. She was sure that what she saw was real. There was Curtis naked and biting her. But why did everything disappear?
"Am I hallucinating?" That was the only logical reason for what was happening to her. Moreover, she heard from the direction of the bathroom that there was the sound of splashing water. It was possible that Curtis was taking a shower right now.
'Maybe I'm the one who's actually exhausted.'
Swana left Curtis' room. She decided to rest and meet Curtis tomorrow. She was sure that Curtis needed rest too.
As Swana left the room, the man who had been occupying her mind was grinning behind the bathroom door. He, who had returned to human form, was the one responsible for the weirdness that Swana had experienced.
"Don't get confused, it was a ritual to unite you with me, my mate. I just tagged you, Swana," Curtis said.
Curtis clearly did not want to delay marking Swana. The possessiveness of every Alpha of Arta's werewolf kingdom refused to leave them mate unmarked.
Now there was one thing he had to do. One of them is to tell King Arta that he is still alive. He was captured by humans because of a necklace created by a witch. A necklace that could seal the warewolf's power. To do so, he needs his knights to come to this house. Because he still wants to play with his luna mate.
Suddenly, he remembered Swana's reason for buying slaves. The memory fueled his anger.
"Killian..." Curtis said.
He said the name angrily.
"How dare you get engaged to my girl," Curtis hissed.
The Alpha's possessive nature to his luna mate, drive Curtis to eliminate the man named Killian.
"Yes, I need to get rid of that guy immediately so that my luna mate is free."
Curtis grabbed his clothes. Then he jumped out of the window. He then jumped over the fence and ran towards the coastal cliffs at high speed. Once at the highest point, he howled.
The sound of Curtis' howl was carried by the wind. It woke up a red-eyed black wolf that was lying down.
"Curtis... you finally showed up. "
The wolf growled. Its mouth adorned with sharp teeth seemed to widen. He was so excited to answer Curtis' call. Because that meant he wouldn't be bored anymore. Curtis, who was a duke and held the position of commander of the Arta kingdom, would definitely create a storm. One of them was to destroy a kingdom.
In an instant, five knights surrounded Curtis. They were in a kneeling position as if ready to receive orders. And Curtis looked at them with a satisfied look.
"I'm glad you came quickly," Curtis said.
"Give us orders, commander," the five knights replied.
"I want you to do something for me." Before Curtis continued with his orders, he smiled horribly. It made the five knights he hadn't seen in a long time feel tense. They had a feeling that he was about to do something cruel to someone. Or maybe they were told to get rid of someone.
