Chapter 6

Author: Vino
I thought Rowena would give up by then, but to my surprise, she kept showing up at my door over the next few days.

I could not take it anymore, so I finally agreed to meet with her.

She looked thinner. Her face was pale, she had dark circles under her eyes, and her clothes hung off her like they were too big.

When she saw me, she quickly showed me the mark had been removed.

She smiled, trying to please me, and said urgently, "James, I've had the mark removed. I'm free of it now, so we can start over!"

Getting rid of the mark was risky. One wrong move, and it could have been deadly. Not many would dare to try removal.

Not to mention that the mark was carved deep in the skin. To get rid of it completely, she would have to cut out that part of her flesh.

I saw the raw wound and frowned.

I was surprised she went through with something like that, but that was about it.

When I did not say anything, Rowena thought I was touched by her gesture and quickly pulled out two fuzzy things f

    Chloe set up a dreamy and perfect Bonding Ceremony for me.Since I was allergic to pollen but loved flowers, the place was filled with lifelike fake flowers.I was wondering how Chloe knew what I liked when suddenly, a wolf howl echoed from outside.A servant told me that a wild wolf girl from the wolf clan had reverted to her animal form and was clawing at the iron fence outside.I was taken aback. Beastmen only reverted to their animal forms when they were really upset.Rowena did not turn when she found out the truth about Hank, but she did when she saw my Bonding Ceremony.If this were the past, I might have thought she cared more about me than him, but now, I just thought she was acting foolish.What was the point of all that when she did not appreciate me when she had me?Chloe and I exchanged rings to the sound of everyone's well-wishes, and then we kissed.After the ceremony, as we headed to our new home, we saw a giant silver wolf locked in a big iron cage outside.F

    Rowena's eyes bulged at the sight of the snake necklace on Chloe's neck.She stared in disbelief at Chloe's stunning face as the branding iron dropped from her grasp."Are you Chloe, the serpent clan's princess? What are you saying? Weren't you supposed to marry Hank? He's already bound to me, so what are you doing here?!"Watching Chloe extend her hand to me, Rowena felt a surge of dread.Chloe smiled, and she raised her eyebrows playfully as our fingers interlaced."I never said I wanted to marry Hank. I've always wanted to marry James. He's the one who made the potion, after all. Only you dummies like that phony beastman Hank!"Rowena felt her heart jump. What did Chloe mean by that?Everyone was shocked. Whispers started spreading, questioning if Hank really made the potion that won the competition.Hank turned ghostly white and tried to cough to cover his nerves, but I spoke up before he could. I turned to my parents, who had just come downstairs."Father, Mother, remembe

    I looked at my messed-up, bleeding hand and started to laugh.Rowena's heart squeezed tight, and her face went all panicky. "Why are you laughing?"I was laughing at how dumb I was, letting myself get hurt to earn the silly, shallow 'love' of my parents and Rowena.Every time Hank acted sad, they always believed him, despite being my parents' real son and Rowena's childhood friend, whom she had promised herself to.Hank had set me up time and time again. Everyone thought I was the mean kid who picked on my little brother and stole his ideas.I balled my hands into fists so tight that my nails dug into my skin, and I looked up at Rowena with fierce eyes."I did nothing wrong, and I won't apologize."Rowena's eyes narrowed, hurt by my defiance."Rowena..." Hank suddenly yelped. "Ow! My hand really hurts."Rowena did not waste a second. She turned and started rubbing Hank's hand.Worried Hank might get cold, she dashed to the car and grabbed a fox fur coat, wrapping him up snug
