Before I could hit him a second time, Michael had already wrapped his hand around my fist. He lowered his head and looked at me helplessly. “Alright, stop that. Tell me, what did you overhear that made you have such a nightmare?”

Thinking about this, my expression became a little unnatural. I shrank back into Michael’s body and said, “I heard that His Majesty, the King, wants you to marry a royal member of the royal Lycans as your wife.

“What else?” Michael’s expression remained unmoved.

“And, uhm...” I looked at Michael’s expression and hurriedly said, “I also heard you reject His Majesty. I know you won’t do that, but...”

“But what?” Michael asked.

I had no choice but to say, “But he’s still the Lycan King, and he’s your father. I don’t want to put you in a difficult position. Even though I’m touched by what Brandon did for Courtney, and I believe that your heart is with me, I don’t want you to go to that extent. I’d rather we get your family’s approval. I’m a little depressed that I can’t do this.”

These were my truest thoughts.

No matter what, Michael was the priority, and I couldn’t give up or compromise.

But in addition, I wanted more. I wanted the blessing and recognition of our family. I wanted Michael and I to appear in front of everyone like other mates in the world.

Michael’s expression relaxed. He put his arm around my shoulder and made me lean in his arms more comfortably. He said, “I understand.”

Michael sighed softly and gently pecked the top of my head.

I pressed on the muscles on his shoulders and felt that my body and mood had calmed down.

Michael said, “I can understand your worries, but Cecily, I brought you back to the palace to make you a Princess Consort, not to worry about these things.”

I looked at him. He was calling me a ‘Princess Consort’. This form of address made me feel like I was being cherished.

Michael paused for a moment before continuing, “These are things I should handle. We are mates and I shouldn’t let my family put you under so much pressure. Just trust me. I’ll take care of everything.”

Michael lowered his head and looked at me deeply. “My princess, what you need to do is to stay here and wait for me to bring everything to you.”

I laughed at Michael’s words and said awkwardly, what do you want to give me? A pumpkin carriage and crystal shoes?”

“If you want it, it’s not impossible.” Michael combed my hair with his fingers. “I can give you everything as long as you’re mine.”

“You’re good at calculating. Am I not all yours?”

As I said that, I looked at Michael, but I was stunned by the serious look in his eyes. He was not joking with me, and the promises he made to me were all true.

For some reason, I was touched by whatever Michael said at this moment.

I slowly put away my playful expression and looked into Michael’s eyes as I said, “Michael, you just said that we are mates. No matter what, I want to go through thick and thin with you. I believe in you, and you believe in me.

“I know there is a limit to what I can do in this matter. After all, I cannot change my background. But if there is anything I can do to relieve your pressure, let me share it with you.”

Michael blinked and then pulled me into his arms.

This was a silent acknowledgment. A warm current surged in my heart. It had nothing to do with desire, only pure love and trust.

“I’ll tell you about my family,” Michael said softly.

I looked at Michael with some curiosity. He had never taken the initiative to mention his family, and tonight was an excellent opportunity.

“My grandfather was the Lycan King. The war against the beasts that he started and ended laid the foundation for the current situation, and what my father did was inherit his legacy. However, in reality, defending is always more difficult than attacking.”

Michael sighed and said, “That’s why my parents weren’t mates. They married for political reasons. My father married my mother to consolidate his rule. To a certain extent, my grandfather was also a b*stard. He betrayed his daughter for his political interests.”

“But would your mother be willing to do so?” I asked, puzzled.

“She-wolves don’t have the right to choose.” Michael shook his head. “And in politics, marriage is just a game of power, and most of the power is in the hands of men. My grandfather could manipulate my mother back then.”

I silently nodded in agreement. If I had looked at the time when Michael’s parents were together, it would have been almost 200 years ago. Back then, she-wolf’s status would have been even lower than it was now. She didn’t even have the chance to escape by degrading her reputation as Sasha did.
