"Oh, no!" My eyes widened in shock as I realized what I had just done. I stared at the bite mark I had left on His Majesty's neck. "I'm so sorry, Your Majesty!" I quickly lowered my head, my voice trembling with guilt. Titus chuckled softly, his warm breath tickling my skin. "What are you apologizing for?" he asked, pulling me closer to him as we lay on his massive bed. He began planting gentle kisses on my shoulder and neck, each touch sending shivers down my spine. Our bodies had barely separated, yet he was already covering me with soft kisses, making my heart race. I was torn between the warmth of his affection and the guilt gnawing at me. "I marked you. I wasn't supposed to do that. It's one of the rules they told us upon entering your palace. We aren't supposed to mark you or form a bond with you, as it will hinder you from fulfilling your duty to the other concubines," I explained, my voice filled with remorse. "Please, allow y me to break our bond," I offered, even though I had no idea what it might cost me.

He chuckled again before placing a tender kiss on my lips. "You don't have to do that. Marks have no effect on me," he said, his tone reassuring yet vague.

I frowned in confusion. "You've lost me, Your Majesty. What do you mean by marking doesn't work on you?"

Titus sighed, a hint of sadness flickering in his eyes. "Do you think you're the first woman who tried to mate with me during intercourse?" He said it casually. "I've been walking this earth for thousands of years, and never once have I met a mate or marked anyone. I have no mate, Sage. That's my curse." Reality

sank in quickly. Of course, he had other wives. I wasn't the first to try to mark him. The weight of his words pressed heavily on my chest.

"But... how is that possible?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

It seems like he didn't hear what I just said. He turned to me with a frown on his forehead. "Wait a minute. You got your wolf?" he asked.

I held my breath upon him mentioning my wolf. "It seems that way, Your Majesty," I replied nervously.

He then looked me in the eye, as if he were searching for something. It took me by surprise when he suddenly grabbed my nape and smelled my neck.

I was holding my breath as I watched him. My heart constricts when I notice the disappointment in his

eyes.
