Why Is It Called Monkey Blood Medicine

My mother claims my husband has cheated on me and pushes me to get a divorce. I want to collect evidence before proceeding with anything—if it's true, I have to uphold my rights. Yet she causes a scene at an art exhibition I've worked on for three years, humiliating me in public and making me sound like a gold digger. "How are you any different from a prostitute when you're holding this dumb exhibition with a man's money? I didn't raise you to be a gold digger! How can you be so revolting?" She slashes the million-dollar paintings in the exhibition, claiming that she's doing this for my good. She wants me to see the error of my ways and return to the right path. Meanwhile, I clutch my bloody hand, which she slashed with her blade. I say, "You say you want me to return to the right path, but is that what it really is? You want me to divorce my legally wedded husband, who's a CEO, without a penny to my name. "Then, you want me to marry a 45-year-old cheap man who has a child and no money? He even wants me to support him!"

He hunted me through the dark, took me down hard, and claimed me with teeth and blood. His mark lives in my throat now, a connection that won't disappear. He's everything I should fear. Savage, uncompromising, a man who takes without asking. Yet the bond calls to something wild in me, my body singing for him even as my mind recoils. To his pack, I'm fresh meat. Something to be tamed. But I have claws too, and I'll use them. Even when he forces me to become part of his territory. Even when the moon turns full and he swears I’ll come to him willingly. I hate him. I crave him. And the wolf in me suspects I was always meant to be his.
