Chapter 4
258 Words
Chloe still failed to understand that the stronger the werewolf's body became, the deeper the wolfsbane embedded itself within him. The constant meat strengthened his already superior physique, while the herbs gradually restored injuries deliberately inflicted by Countess Elizabeth.
The ruthless werewolf played the part of a loyal companion, concealing his violent nature as he slowly earned Chloe's trust. He told her that only the Moon Fruit could maximize their power when they bonded.
That Moon Fruit existed solely in my possession within this town. I had fought through countless trials and risked everything to acquire it before reaching adulthood.
Chloe's delicate appearance, along with her soft blond hair and innocent blue eyes, made her easy to favor. In contrast, my long black hair and violet eyes often caused people to view me as something dangerous.
She influenced Benjamin and turned the townspeople against me.
"You should give the Moon Fruit to Chloe."
"Yes, Chloe is so pitiful and so well-behaved."
"Chloe has suffered enough. She is the best choice for the witch ruler."
But I was an orphan too.
Still, without hesitation, I handed the Moon Fruit over to Countess Elizabeth.
In return, the wealthy Countess Elizabeth gave me an amulet that could block any curse and a silver gun loaded with 100 silver bullets.
The next day, Chloe proudly displayed the strength she gained after intimacy, along with the werewolf's power, deliberately revealing the Crescent Mark on her lower abdomen.
I only smiled in silence, fully aware that irreversible wolfsbane had already taken root in her.
