Max could not forget Linea's words about the mark on her neck. Does it mean that Linea was the one who transformed into Ivory and seduced Max to make love at the bottom of the lake?And Max had given the wrong mark to Linea. It was not Linea who should have gotten the sacred mark but Ivory. Is that why Max couldn't protect and claim Ivory as his own?"What's going on, Max?" asked Mirielle after she was satisfied with spending time alone. And now, seeing her brother looking glum with his eyebrows knitted together, she knew Max had something on his mind."Don't blame yourself too much, Max. One, Ivory disappeared because I miscalculated. I did not expect Benjamin's men to be able to find Ivory so easily. Second, you did not recognize Linea after she disappeared for so long. She is still a dangerous wolf mage. And I assume the wild wolf that injured Ivory could be Linea."Max straightened up as he heard Mirielle's words and assumptions. It was just an assumption, but Max could not help b

Ivory didn't know how Seth had brought her to the place she knew she was in for the first time.She had known Seth for a long time, but this was the first time she had been to his house. No, this was the first time since Seth got engaged. So it could be assumed that this place was the man's new home.And Seth never changed, still treating her like a long-lost little sister. Or did he do that intentionally so Ivory wouldn't run away again? And even if she ran away again, so what? Ivory would never be in a relationship with a man who already belongs to another woman."You'll be safe here," Seth said as he laid Ivory's body back to normal on the bed.Ivory just looked at the man, who now seemed busy looking for clothes to cover Ivory's naked body, which Seth's jacket had only covered, and now Ivory was confused about covering it with both arms.Seth offered a set of clothes for Ivory to wear, and she immediately put on the clothes, then sat sweetly on the bed."Why are you so desperate?

Ivory could not believe what was happening to her right now. She was already standing with her legs still bound in handcuffs, and several women were wiping her entire body and making sure it was completely following Seth's orders.She had worn a clean white dress—the servants were helping her without knowing what it was all for.Was it as Seth had said that he would marry Ivory? For what? And why does it have to be like this? If Seth wanted her, why didn't he say anything before he engaged with another woman and when they met at the hospital?Ivory couldn't argue. A terrible thing almost happened when she was at Benjamin's residence, where he threatened to kill her three babies. That's why Ivory did whatever Benjamin wanted, including making Max go away and forget about her.Now, she will never even be able to meet Max to explain what happened back then.Ivory could not forget her intense pain when Benjamin grabbed her stomach and threatened to eliminate her babies. She certainly did

Ivory forgot how long she and Seth had been husband and wife. Not once did she allow Seth to get close to ask her to make love to him? Seth also never asked because his desire for the girl was not about intimate things but to have her.Who doesn't know about the legend of a mermaid who is a mythological creature with many advantages? And being the owner of such a creature gave Seth great pride. Of course, that was not all the man wanted, but something big.That said, it was almost the same as Benjamin's wish. Only Seth never even asked Ivory to serve him. Every time Seth came to her, it was to deliver food or chat simply. However, Ivory also did not respond as Seth wanted. Ivory just listened and listened to Seth's story without giving any response.To Ivory, humans are terrifying. They would do anything to get everything they wanted. And for this one thing, Ivory is a victim of endless human desires."Don't be afraid, honey. I just wanted to visit you and bring you some food. You sti

Max woke up suddenly with his forehead and body covered in sweat. He had just had a nightmare that felt so real. It could be that something was indeed happening to Ivory, given that she was now being held hostage by a horrible creature.Max couldn't believe Seth could do such a cruel thing by holding Ivory captive and torturing her. In his dream, Ivory tried to escape and ended up with several scratches on her body.Seth didn't seem to have any lust to fuck Ivory, but only to punish her for what she had done to him. It was possible that for Seth, Ivory had betrayed the trust or promise they had agreed upon.After all, wolves are very jealous. Max was not sure his dream was a true depiction of what was happening to Ivory, but he felt so sick to see what happened to Ivory and Seth in his dream.What if it was? What if what was in his dream was happening in the real world? If true, Ivory is really in big trouble."Ivy, what happened to you?" muttered Max, who could no longer bear not to
