The Animal Princess
짐승 황녀님 (외전증보판)
Synopsis
※ This work has been republished following a title change.
The man I wed upon our reunion after eight long years was a sovereign of peerless, absolute power. That was the very reason we were destined to part.
“Please, grant me a divorce.”
“Was this your intention from the start? To live like a creature of the wild for all to see, simply to tarnish my name?”
I gave a slow, deliberate nod, yet the Grand Duke showed no shadow of hurt. If anything, the obsession he felt for me—the woman he claimed as his first love—seemed only to coil tighter and deeper around his heart.
“You shall have me. In exchange, I shall seize everything else in existence but myself.”
Furthermore, he seemed to have never forgotten the whims of my girlhood—my mention of preferring a man who would surrender himself to me under the cover of night.
“Caerleon, this is a side of you that no other soul must ever witness.”
“The same holds true for you.”
A soft, dry chuckle escaped his lips, and I moved first to press my mouth against his, tangling our breaths together. It was a struggle to endure the heat of his touch; his hands, barely keeping a simmering madness at bay as they constricted around my waist, were so searingly hot they threatened to leave brands upon my skin.
