NovelEnglishChapter 154: Why Won’t You Mark Me?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Why?” I heard Michael’s question after I finally stopped what I was doing.
I stared blankly at the whiteness on my hand.
‘Why?’ I wanted to ask the same question.
‘Why did you stop just now? Why didn’t you want to mark me?’
I turned my back to Michael and felt like I was embarrassing myself by asking Michael this question again.
Michael had made it clear to me in his behavior, hadn’t he?
I had been so naive. I had thought I had it under control with Joanna, but I hadn’t. Joanna was right. Michael had no intention of marking me.

“Cecily, what’s wrong?” Michael reached out and pulled me over to face him.
I looked at him silently. We both knew what had happened. As mates, it was only fitting that I wanted his mark, but he wouldn’t give it to me.
Now it was Michael who needed to give me an explanation, not me.
Michael looked into my stubborn eyes and touched my hair. I didn’t hide. I just kept looking at him.
Michael sighed. “I thought we had an understanding on this. Cecily, I don’t think you’re ready for me to mark you. I don’t know what made you do this tonight, but I hope you’re willing to be marked and not for any other reason.”
“Of course I am. You’re the one who’s been looking for an excuse to say no,” I said.
“No, it’s not like that, Cecily.” Michael shook his head and kissed me on the forehead, and he said helplessly, “I’m always willing to mark you, but you aren’t even sure of yourself yet.”
My heart wavered a little after what Michael said, but it quickly became firm again.
I said, “I’ve already thought it through. I’m yours. I want to be marked by you.”
I tried to get close to Michael and kiss his forehead and lips.
Michael only gave me a few light kisses before he pulled away from me. I looked at him in disappointment.
What Michael said was completely different from what he had done. He said he wanted to mark me but kept rejecting me. I didn’t know if he was telling the truth. I knew he wouldn’t give me what I wanted, which was all in line with what Joanna said.
“You never intended to make me your mate, did you?” I tried my best to make myself say this in a calm and gentle tone, but I knew that where Michael couldn’t see, I was so nervous that my hands were shaking.
“Of course not! Why would you say that?” Michael’s brows furrowed deeply. “You are the only one to me. No one can replace you.”
“But that doesn’t mean you will mark me and make me your official mate,” I said.

I hope that all your choices are from your heart and not from any external factors. I hope you can give yourself to me wholeheartedly without any scruples. The royal Lycan mark is sacred and irreversible, and I want us to think about it before doing it.”
Michael’s reasons were ridiculous to me at the moment.
He had been trying to get me into bed when we first met, and then he rejected me for various reasons. And he kept saying that I wasn’t ready, and then he said, ‘I hope we think about it’ whether it was him or me.
Or was it clear to him that he didn’t want me to be his official mate?
He was the noble Lycan Prince of the royal family, and his mate was supposed to be the noble Lycan Princess of the royal family. How could a werewolf of ordinary birth like me be with him?
I felt tired from the inside out.
Although Michael and I were very close, I felt we were very far apart. I didn’t know what he was thinking, and I didn’t know whether he was telling the truth or not.
Robert was once my mate, but he abandoned me and chose Alison, and in the end, he wanted to have both of us.
Would Michael now have the same idea? He knew he couldn’t abandon his mate arranged by the Moon Goddess, so he wanted to keep me firmly in his sphere of influence from the beginning.
Michael was undoubtedly smarter and better at it than Robert.
