[TAMIKO]
Marked.
He had an Erasthai.
He had completed the marking.
Oh, Tamiko.
"I love you more than life," Tamiko confessed for the hundredth time to his erasthai who was watching him with hearts in his eyes. Kosta was happy that anyone who didn't know him any better would think that he was worried this would be a dream.
Perhaps it was a dream, but the endless teasing he had gotten from the king and the Lycan Lord was proof enough that this right here was real and not an illusion. The barbarian bore the mark of the crown prince.
It was easily the highest honor anyone in Kawai would ever have, but to Kosta, being the one Tamiko loved was that honor. He hadn't fallen in love with the crown prince or the outcast of Grealor, no.
