Lyca finally gave her consent to Dylan. Spending time with Marceline while looking for answers about werewolves, Lyca learned more about werewolves. She was aware of the 'marking' between mates.
She was not clueless about Dylan's feelings. She finally noticed it. She was not simply attracted to him. There was this bond connecting them and it grew further as time went by. She could feel how much Dylan was yearning for her because she also felt the same way.
This 'mate and bond' thing was real and she was experiencing it by herself. She became more attached to Dylan. And her body was aching for his touch.
Meanwhile, Dylan was still absorbing her words. He didn't expect that Lyca would finally give it a go, urging him to mark her.
"Are you sure about this, Lyca? Once I do it… there is no turning back…" Dylan softly asked her, caressing her cheeks. He stared at her intently, his eyes not leaving her face.
