“Cas-pian…”
And he looked back to see that she was biting her lower lip as though she greatly enjoyed that kiss. 
He smirked again and whispered in his deeply seductive voice, “I like my name even more ever since I started hearing it from your beautiful lips. And I like it even further when you say it in that hushed tone.”
Anastasia had no idea what Caspian was hinting at yet.
So he dropped some more hints, “Wife, weren’t you asking me what the first night meant? Let me show you.”

Conquering His Cold Heart

“We’ve tied her up in the dungeon,” Zenon replied to the King and started to rush downstairs. 


Caspian ran by his side and asked, “It’s a woman?” 


“Yes, Your Majesty.” Zenon also informed the King, “But regarding her origin, things are a lot complicated.” 


Caspian stopped in front of the old door of the dungeon and asked in a throaty voice, “Complicated how?” 


And Zenon briefed him so that he wouldn’t go down to the dungeon and resort to violence right away, “She’s not from Xanmar, she’s a native of Sorvando. I also talked with her parents about their lineage. It doesn’t look like they are related to the werewolves in any way. They have been residing here for generations, so I believe them.” 


Caspian retracted his fangs upon hearing Zenon. And he asked in a little calmer voice, “Then how did she become one? Or did you capture a wrong girl in haste?”
