“This is the easiest way, not the only way.” Michael narrowed his eyes and said, “We have a more peaceful way, but that is very troublesome. Many royal Lycans would rather kill the other party in a duel to solve this problem quickly.”

“For a royal Lycan, killing an ordinary werewolf in a battle is not easy.” I pointed out this point, “This is unfair. You kill a person’s mate and want that person to become one of you.”

“Please, I’m not the one who set such rules.” Michael showed a nonchalant expression and said, “This is a natural choice and a natural result. We’re just following other people’s way of doing things.

“Cecily, you must know that it’s already not easy for a Lycan to find a mate. You can’t expect us to let our loved ones go just because they already have a mate when we’ve finally met them. It’s not in line with our nature.”

“But have you considered that person’s feelings?” I raised my doubts. “She’ll lose her mate and feel pain because of it.”

“We will choose to give that person a mark at that time. A Lycan’s strength is enough to cover the trauma she has suffered; from then on, she will no longer have any ties to her previous mate. The new mark will cover the old one. The strong will replace the weak. That is the rule,” Michael explained.

‘So, why don’t you mark me?’

I knew that my situation with Michael was different from what he said. He did not take me from Robert. I had rejected Robert and accepted Michael. He did not have to mark me to get rid of my pain.

…..

But if marking me could bring strength and wash away the past, as Michael had said, and I was weak when I rejected Robert, why didn’t Michael mark me to heal me? Or was he not sure it was going to be me at the time?

These questions twirled on my tongue, but I swallowed them.

Instead, I asked the question I had always cared about, “Now that we’re talking about Robert, I’ve heard some things about Robert from Kate.”

I carefully observed Michael’s expression, knowing he was unhappy that I was talking about Robert. In fact, I didn’t always want to associate my life with this scum.

Robert and his high school self were like two different people. I couldn’t recall why I was infatuated with him in high school. His once dazzling deeds had turned into a dark figure in the forest in my heart.

But still, if my current mate Michael was going to deal with him, then I couldn’t just sit by and watch.

“What did she say to you?” Michael’s tone turned cold.

“I heard that Robert would go to the werewolf court…”

Before I could finish, I saw Michael fidgeting with his hair, so I swallowed the rest of my words.

Michael sighed and said, “Baby, I don’t want to discuss that b*stard with you. I wanted to kill him in the forest, and my wolf wanted to do the same, but you stopped me. I respected your opinion and let him live. Since I didn’t kill him then, I didn’t want to bother him as long as he didn’t bother me anymore.”

Michael didn’t seem angry, but he explained patiently to me, which made me feel he could communicate.

I asked, “Do you know who did this?”

Michael’s face tightened, and he said unhappily, “I can’t be sure, but there’s a good chance it was Samuel, and he was there that day.”

Samuel? For a moment, I didn’t know who this person was.

Sasha had only said a few words when we first met. I had always thought that the guy who looked like a performance artist was a maverick. So why was he involved in this matter?

“I haven’t introduced Samuel to you. He’s my father’s man. My father sent him to work with me. In fact, he’s more like my father’s spy. If there’s anything, he’ll report directly to my father. I don’t even have the authority to order him around,” Michael said calmly.

“Then, can you do anything to prevent this from happening?” I asked.

Michael lowered his head. This time, his gaze was no longer gentle and doting. Instead, it was filled with vigilance.

“You’re pleading for mercy for that b*stard?”

I could hear the pain in his voice. Finally, I said sincerely, “I’m not asking you to let him go. I just can’t watch someone’s life completely ruined because of me.”

Michael turned his head away and refused to look at me. His face was filled with anger.

“Michael, listen to me, okay?” I softened my tone.
