An Jin jumped in fright, quickly getting to her feet and running from under the unsteady tree to his side.
Gu Yin lowered his head, his gaze fixed silently on her swollen lips. His expression was dangerous, his jawline tight.
The red was so glaring it made his entire body tremble with rage.
He reached out and scrubbed at her lips, trying to violently wipe away the other male's scent.
"HISS..." The skin on An Jin's lips nearly split.
Gu Yin froze, but the fire coiled in his heart only burned hotter, threatening to set his entire serpentine form ablaze.
The only reason he had been willing to accept Ling Hong was that the Wolf Beast seemed docile, easy to control, and wouldn't compete for affection. But now, it was clear he had been careless.
As a wandering Snake Beast, Gu Yin had a need for control and possession so intense it was terrifying. It was an instinct etched into his very bones, one that could never be erased.
