Chapter 13

Author: Strawberry Candy
Henry looked at me, his dark, fathomless eyes reflecting me in my wedding dress.

“I’m afraid this is a dream.”

“If it is, I never want to wake up.”

He lowered his head and pressed a reverent kiss to my ring finger.

In that instant, a streak of black light seemed to flash across the chapel’s dome.

Only I knew it was the manifestation of Henry’s excitement.

His tail probably thrashed so violently beneath his trousers that it might have snapped.

That night, Henry finally let go of all res

  • The Tattoo Artist   Chapter 13

    Henry looked at me, his dark, fathomless eyes reflecting me in my wedding dress.“I’m afraid this is a dream.”“If it is, I never want to wake up.”He lowered his head and pressed a reverent kiss to my ring finger. In that instant, a streak of black light seemed to flash across the chapel’s dome. Only I knew it was the manifestation of Henry’s excitement. His tail probably thrashed so violently beneath his trousers that it might have snapped.That night, Henry finally let go of all restraint. The room lay in shadow, and he pressed me against the floor-to-ceiling window, the lights of Riverton flickering like stars beyond the glass.“Claire…”“Yes?”“I want to get another tattoo.”“Where?”He gripped my hand and pressed it to his lower back, mirroring the spot that corresponded to mine. There, with each of his breaths, a faint outline of a feral totem emerged.“I want to tattoo your image. I want to carve you into my bones forever.”With a low roar, the familiar bla

    Henry strode in wearing a black trench coat, looking almost out of place amidst the grandeur. Yet, he seemed utterly commanding. Behind him marched two rows of men in black suits, each carrying ornate gift boxes. Some even bore several heavy mahogany chests.The display dwarfed the occasion when the Grants had come to propose marriage.The comments exploded:“Holy hell! Is this what a fierce beast’s entrance looks like?”“Dragons hoard jewels, while this beast hoards gold! This must be the fortune Henry amassed over a thousand years!”“I knew Henry was a hidden tycoon!”Dad froze, his hand trembling as he pointed at Henry.“You… who are you? Who let you in?”Henry calmly moved to my side, instinctively shielding me behind him. Facing Dad’s fury, his expression remained detached and slightly arrogant.“I’m Henry,” he said. “Claire’s boyfriend.”He snapped his fingers. Immediately, the men behind him opened the chests.Gold glimmered, almost blinding me. Bars upo

    Henry had already dressed neatly and sat by the bed, watching me.He held a cup of water in his hand, his gaze clear, all traces of his non-human features fully restrained.Only the way he looked at me betrayed what he was.“You’re awake?”He helped me sit up and fed me the water, his movements so practiced it felt as though he had rehearsed them countless times.I took a sip, and my throat finally felt less raw. My gaze drifted unconsciously to his collarbone.There was a new tattoo there.Red, still swollen from being freshly inked, but unmistakable.It was my name.The characters were rendered in the most ancient, wild cursive form of script, like an old, binding sigil.My fingers trembled as I touched it.“When did you… get this?”Henry caught my hand and rubbed it gently against his palm.“Last night, after you fell asleep.”“Did it hurt?”“It was better that it hurt.”His eyes darkened, and a satisfied smile curved his lips.“Pain makes it unforgettable. It rem

    None of us said anything for a while.A deathly silence filled the air.Then the comments stirred up again:“You’ve got real guts, weak male.”“Breaking in at a time like this. Are you tired of living?”“Henry just barely stopped himself from killing someone!”“Run, you idiot, run!”…Ethan looked at the intimate way we were standing, then caught Henry’s murderous expression.His brain finally finished loading.“Holy—!”He pointed at us, his jaw nearly hitting the floor.“You—you two actually—”He looked at me. “No wonder you only wanted the motorcycle and not the money!”Then he looked at Henry. “No wonder that security guy kept staring at me. Turns out he was checking whether he’d been cuckolded!”Then his expression flipped completely, bursting into wild joy.“That’s amazing! I’m finally free!“Who’s this guy? He looks fierce. Can he fight?“Not bad, Claire. Solid taste!”My head throbbed.“Shut up.”Henry looked at him coldly. “If you’ve got a problem, ta

    The kiss ended, and my legs went weak. I could only hang onto Henry as he steadied his breath.“Now that you’ve drawn me to you, don’t even think about running,” he whispered possessively.I laughed between gasps. “I won’t run. Even if you try to push me away, I won’t leave!”Suddenly, footsteps echoed outside.“Strange… I clearly saw her run this way just now.”It was Ethan.Henry’s eyes darkened, and he moved toward the door.I grabbed his arm. “Don’t. Let him keep searching.”He looked down at me, a wicked smile forming at the corner of his lips.“Fine. As you say.”We huddled in the supply room like two schoolchildren caught doing mischief.The tension between us thickened again.Henry’s hand unconsciously brushed against my lower back, the spot of my new tattoo.“Does it hurt?”“No… not anymore.”“Claire?”“Yes?”“I… I’m not a normal man…” he whispered, voice tinged with unease.“I know.”“You do?” Henry’s eyes widened in surprise.I pointed at the air.

    Henry’s eyes blazed red, his chest rising and falling violently, as a beast roused to rage.“You like him that much?” he asked roughly.I barely opened my mouth when Ethan’s distant voice rang out, “Claire, where are you? The auction is starting!”I shivered in fright.The ferocity in Henry’s eyes deepened.He suddenly leaned in, bringing his face close to my ear. His warm breath scorched me, sending shivers down my spine.“Do you want to be with me?“Even if it’s just as your secret lover… I’ll accept it.”My mind exploded.What was he saying?L-lover?Before I could react, Henry released me, stepping back half a pace. He resumed his usual cold demeanor, though the faint tremor in his fingers betrayed his emotions.“I’m sorry… I overstepped.”He turned to leave.“Wait!”I grabbed his sleeve with all my strength.Ethan’s voice grew louder in the distance.With my heart racing, I pulled Henry toward the nearby supply room.A loud “bang” echoed as I slammed the door
