Chapter 57: I’ll do it according to your wish.

The silver-haired man gazed at Liliana with a low smile.

"I finally found you, my luna."

Liliana stared at him in disbelief. Her heart pounded hard—very hard.

The man before her. Vincent Arden. The future alpha of the Arden family. And her other destined alpha pair, the one the Moon Goddess had fated for her.

"What are you going to do?" Liliana asked, stammering.

Vincent said nothing. He walked slowly toward Liliana. For the past few days he had been holding himself back from dragging the girl straight to his dormitory room to mark her.

Liliana swallowed hard. The pounding of her heart grew stronger.

She quickly glanced around, then ran in the opposite direction from where Vincent stood.

Vincent’s steps halted. He froze for a moment.

Is she afraid of me? Vincent asked himself. Isn’t my face handsome enough? he wondered while touching his face with both hands.

Seeing Liliana growing farther away, Vincent’s brow furrowed deeper.

He strode quickly after her.

Liliana did not look back even once. She no longer wanted to be marked by another wolf. She did not want Cassian to drive her out of Pack Draven. That was her family. Her only family.

Liliana shook her head, clutching her chest that kept beating wildly.

Vincent snorted in irritation as he watched Liliana run so fast, avoiding him as if he were a plague.

In an instant he shifted into his wolf form and chased after Liliana, who had already taken her own wolf form to flee from him.

He had jumped straight into this ravine the moment he learned Liliana had fallen because of Cassian’s secret admirer. There was clearly no way he would abandon his intention to mark her today.

His wolf was nearly dying from restraining the desire that had been raging for the past four days. So even if Liliana rejected him, he would not let her go so easily.

Vincent let out a high howl. He leapt high onto the tree roots that grew tall above the ground, moved nimbly, and immediately pounced on Liliana’s wolf form.

He aimed his sharp claws at Liliana’s neck.

"Are you still trying to run from me, Liliana?" he asked in a low voice in the language of wolves.

Liliana blinked both eyes. Her body began to tremble.

"Please, let me go. I promise I’ll find a way to free you from the torment of this mate bond," she pleaded.

Vincent scoffed. "How do you plan to free me? Hmm? By dying right now?"

Liliana shook her head. "Cassian. He’ll help me soon."

Vincent’s face darkened. "You want to make me wait for you even longer? You want to make my wolf die just because it can’t mark its luna right away?"

"Shift into your human form now. I can’t hold it back any longer."

Liliana shook her head again. Tears fell down her face. Her mind rejected this, while her body and Silver began to yearn for Vincent.

"You’re refusing to shift?" Vincent asked. "Do you want me to mark you in wolf form?"

Liliana’s eyes widened, clearly unable to believe what Vincent had said.

Vincent smiled low. "In that case, I’ll do it right away the way you want."

Liliana’s body went rigid the moment she saw Vincent’s wolf’s manhood.

She did not want to do this. Many werewolves said that mating in wolf form was extremely terrifying and torturous for a woman. It could even kill a female wolf if she could not endure the wild desire of her mate.

"W-wait!! I’ll shift into human form," Liliana said quickly the moment Vincent was truly about to push himself into her.

In an instant Liliana changed her wolf body into human form.

Vincent smiled in satisfaction at Liliana’s obedience. He shifted into human form as well.

Without warning he kissed Liliana’s lips with full passion. His body truly wanted to take in all of Liliana’s scent and merge it with his own.

Liliana’s body stiffened, not daring to move. Vincent was truly insane. He gave her no time at all to breathe and kept kissing her. Vincent’s tongue kept exploring her teeth until it felt as if the saliva in her mouth was being forcibly drained by him.

Vincent’s hands did not stay still. They slipped inside Liliana’s academy uniform, making her body tense in an instant.

After he was satisfied kissing her lips, Vincent’s kisses moved down to the hollow of her neck.

He looked up at Liliana, who had now completely surrendered herself under his control.

"Vincent..." Liliana moaned. "N-not here. It’ll be dark soon. Please, find another place," she said breathlessly.

Vincent stopped the kisses on Liliana’s body and looked up at the sky. Yes, the day was almost over.

He looked at Liliana’s already disheveled clothes. He swallowed hard with difficulty. Quickly he stood up and lifted Liliana onto his shoulder as if carrying a sack of rice.

Swiftly Vincent walked away from that place. He had noticed an abandoned nest earlier while searching for Liliana.

Five minutes passed. Vincent’s steps stopped in front of a large tree with a hollow beneath it.

He stepped into the space under the tree. His eyes immediately fixed on the long-abandoned bird nest.

"Vincent, are you sure this place is safe?" Liliana asked, breathing hard. Now her body was truly almost losing control as it rubbed against Vincent’s.

"It should be safe. Besides, you’re with me. Do you think you’ll die easily right under my eyes?" Vincent asked.

Liliana said nothing and simply let Vincent carry her into the nest.

Vincent removed his academy robe before laying Liliana’s body down on the nest.

He wanted to mark Liliana, but that did not mean he wanted to leave her suffering while serving him.

"Stay here for a moment. I’ll cover this nest first."

Vincent quickly climbed down from the nest and covered the tree roots beneath it with a pile of dry leaves.

Last night, because of poor preparation, he and his pack had almost died after entering the forest after dark.

They had kept running to escape the pursuit of snakes. Luckily he had met the crown prince’s pack, who were willing to help him.

After feeling it was enough, Vincent climbed back up to the nest where Liliana lay.

Liliana curled up. Her body kept trembling.

Vincent glanced at her, then quickly pinned her down.

"Have you been waiting for me?" he asked.

Liliana looked up and nodded.

"Give it. Give it to me now."

Silver’s reaction inside her body was different from when she had yearned for Xavier’s and Lucien’s touch. This time Silver truly wanted the man in front of her, as if their bodies had been destined to unite since long ago.

Vincent cupped Liliana’s face.

"I’ll do it according to your wish."
