It Is Her Whom He Loves

"What?!" Sophie's eyes widened and she looked at him in shock. "Sleep with you?"

"Yes." Leland nodded. "A marriage can be rendered null and void if the husband and wife do not perform their marital duties. That is why I will have to ask you to fulfill it with me only once and then I will not bother you any further."

The Alpha knew that he stormed out from the room earlier and couldn't take in the news properly.

However, now that he made a decision to never consider actually gaining love from Sophie… he was adamant about establishing the mate bond just so he could protect her.

It was necessary in his eyes because there were too many enemies surrounding them. A temporary mark was not enough because the Alpha realized that his own men sworn to protect Sophie couldn't even do their jobs properly.
