Chapter 69: Do you accept me as your mate?

The light surrounding Leonhardt and Liliana did not dim at all. It continued to appear and grow stronger.

Their light slowly merged, creating a vortex around them. The lines on the floor that had initially been invisible now began to glow, following the combination of the two colors of their wolves. At first, they moved slowly, until they changed with a speed visible to the naked eye.

Leonhardt held Liliana’s waist even tighter. They were lost in a passionate kiss, completely oblivious to their surroundings, while the light beneath their feet continued to shimmer until a perfect golden circle was formed.

Slap!

In an instant, the two of them vanished from the room. The light surrounding them slowly faded before disappearing completely.

No one knew where they had gone except Leonhardt himself. Even Liliana was unaware of it.

They arrived in a garden illuminated perfectly by the moonlight. There was no one else there, only Leonhardt and Liliana.

Leonhardt opened his golden eyes and carried Liliana to the bed in the middle of the garden.

Liliana’s vision was already blurred. Leonhardt’s intoxicating scent had completely taken over her senses.

Leonhardt’s hands moved to lower the canopy around the bed before he kissed Liliana again and pushed her onto the bed.

He whispered into her ear in a hoarse and demanding voice. "Liliana Draven, do you accept me as your mate?"

Liliana wrapped her arms around the man’s neck and nodded. Although Leonhardt’s scent was enough to make her lose consciousness, she could clearly hear everything the man said.

"I... Liliana Draven, accept you as my mate. You have the right to me from now on."

Leonhardt firmly held Liliana’s face and kissed her reddened lips again.

His kisses descended to the hollow of her neck.

He could smell the scent of another wolf on Liliana’s body, but it quickly disappeared when he heard Liliana’s breathing grow heavier.

His hands moved to remove Liliana’s clothes one piece at a time.

"I will mark you as mine. Do you allow me to?" he asked softly.

Liliana nodded. Her hands reached for the man’s sturdy shoulders, helping him remove all the clothes concealing his perfect body.

Leonhardt’s movements were slow, very slow, as though he were afraid of breaking the girl beneath him. Moan after moan escaped their lips, filling the beautiful and silent garden.

"Leonhardt," Liliana finally said, no longer able to restrain herself. "Faster. I want more," she pleaded. "This is too slow. This really isn’t enough for me."

Leonhardt raised his head and looked back at Liliana. His hand, which had been moving along the perfect body beneath him, stopped.

"Are you sure you want me to do it harder?"

Liliana swallowed heavily. "I’m sure. Please, give it to me now."

Silver continued to tremble within her. She wanted more than this. She wanted the wolf belonging to the man who was now moving so carefully inside her to give her that mark immediately.

It had already been half an hour, and the man was still moving steadily without the slightest change. It was truly torturous for her.

"You want me to give it to you immediately?" Leonhardt lowered his head and slowly kissed the girl’s neck. "But it will hurt terribly. If I lose control, neither you nor even I will be able to stop it."

Liliana nodded and wrapped both arms around the man’s neck. "Do whatever you want. Don’t hold anything back."

"You don’t know the power of imperial blood, Liliana. If I do it, you will die."

Liliana’s hands, which were holding his neck, went rigid for a moment.

Silver roared within her. "Liliana... you won’t." Silver lowered her head until it touched the floor. "I have a way. Although my power doesn’t respond to it as perfectly as Vincent’s, once you are united with him, I will be able to help you perfect your bond with this man."

Liliana looked into Leonhardt’s golden eyes. She could see that the man was struggling to restrain the surge of desire within him. This man... was truly different from the rumors. Different from her other mate.

Her eyes trembled for a moment before she kissed the man’s lips. "I am your mate now. The Moon Goddess has allowed me to become your mate. And you accepted me willingly even though I have been marked by another wolf. I truly allow you to do it. My wolf allows you. She has her own way."

Leonhardt’s golden eyes gleamed. A satisfied smile finally appeared on his lips. "Don’t regret it. This was your request, Liliana. Even if you beg me later, let your wolf heal you with all her strength."

Leonhardt was not foolish. He already knew that Liliana’s wolf could heal her if she were injured because of him. But he wanted the girl to surrender herself willingly, believing that he truly would not force her and would only lose control because of her request.

Liliana’s hands tensed again. She bit her lip tightly when she suddenly felt the man’s force.

Her mouth opened wide as she felt it. She could not say anything as the man began moving again without changing his expression. She could feel him completely filling her.

Leonhardt gave a low smile. "Liliana, you were the one who asked for this. I did not force you. You will have to endure it for the next few days," he said.

Liliana’s body trembled. Her hands grabbed the sheets beneath her, which suddenly crumpled from the movement of her body caused by Leonhardt’s sudden thrust.

She could no longer think clearly. Her mind seemed to stop functioning as the man controlled her body completely.

The man’s movements remained steady, as though he were approaching his peak, but Liliana knew that this was not his peak.

She gripped the man’s shoulders with her sharp nails. "L-Leonhardt, this is really..."

Leonhardt gave a low smile as he watched the girl’s face, which could no longer properly control its expression.

"Liliana... I have released my pent-up desire with your permission. You were the one who asked for it. I held it back with all my strength earlier. And I can’t simply stop until you satisfy me."

He thrust himself into Liliana’s body again, making the girl moan even louder.

"Leonhardt... this is too deep."

Leonhardt did not hear her at all. He changed Liliana’s position and moved deeper.

Those descended from the imperial bloodline always possessed strength far beyond that of ordinary alphas. He had been blessed with this power since childhood. Moreover, he possessed the purest imperial blood among all his siblings.

Therefore, whether he was facing an enemy or even lying in bed, once he released the restraints on his body, most of them would die without even having the chance to beg.
