The Lunar Curse: A Second Chance With Alpha Draven - Chapter 5: Demanding for My Bride

Master said, the woman I held in my hands, I must protect for the rest of my life.

An eternal prison, a soulless body, a sealed spirit, everything lost.

To resign before merciless fate, or to become destiny!

“I lived in an illusion, I was lost, I could not find my home, I did not have a home… but why does it matter?! Between bowing to the threat of death and a spine that would never bend, I will choose the latter!”

The moonlight caught his eyes, revealing a glint of predatory intent. “Or must I remind you whose touch you truly crave?”
