"Hold still!?" Zhang Ying shrieked. "I'm not into those things!"
Suddenly, Alana Yanked him up. Zhang Ying thought he was getting his freedom. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case, as Alana tore a part of the bedsheet and forced it into his mouth.
"I need your body, not your mouth," she said, tying him up to the bed.
Once he was secured, Alana got off and began fidgeting in the drawers. Zhang Ying couldn't even look at her, but his eyes were wide in terror.
I swear you'll be the first one I kill if you dare touch me there—
Zhang Ying's thoughts were cut off as he felt something wet and warm on his back. At first, he thought it might be wax, but it didn't harden like wax usually does. Then his mind went to the wild side.
Could it be... no, she wouldn't mark me with her—
However, the familiar metallic smell proved him wrong. It was blood, but it wasn't his blood since he didn't feel hurt anywhere. Just then, some words flashed before him.
[Contract established.]
[The user has been bonded to Alana Silvermane as her primary mate.]
Contract? I never agreed to this. Break it off!
[Contract can only be broken by the other party.]
WHAT!?
[Contracted party has access to your status page.]
Oh... so that's why she did it. I was worried for a second.
Countless scenarios had popped into Zhang Ying's head. Most of them involved him being tied down with Alana on top. He wouldn't have complained about it if he didn't know what kind of woman she was.
But the notification put his imagination to rest. She established the contract to view his stats, to take his two virginities.
Why do I feel sad though... fuck this second head!
It took him a minute to calm down. Once he had his junior under control, Zhang Ying tried accessing Alana's stats. If she could view his stats, he should be able to do the same. Unfortunately, he couldn't.
[User doesn't have permission to view Alana Silvermane's stats.]
[Please read the contract carefully next time before signing.]
[It is advised the user should use their achievement
I would have if I knew there was a contract!
Zhang Ying wracked his brain but couldn't remember signing any document. But the system wouldn't lie to him. He must have agreed to the terms somewhere.
...It happened when I took her hand, didn't it?
"Capture, Release, and Inspect," Alana's voice interrupted his thoughts. "They appear to be basic skills. They're not enough to make you an SSS-ranker."
The next moment, Alana flipped him on his back. She was now sitting on top of him as she removed the makeshift gag from his mouth. She glared at him as if expecting him to answer her.
"Your stats and abilities are all average," she said, now sitting on top of him. "Why did the crystal balls grade you as an SSS-ranker?"
"...I don't know what you're talking about."
Zhang Ying truly did not know he was an SSS-ranker. As far as he knew, the highest rank was supposed to be the S-rank. Not only that, in Alana's eyes, he was a newbie. Why was she asking him questions a newbie wouldn't know?
Meanwhile, Alana got off, tying her hair in a high ponytail.
"Get dressed," she said, tossing a couple of scrolls at him. "Use these."
Skill scrolls.
As the name implied, these were scrolls that could grant unusual abilities to those who used them. Each scroll had some class, level, or strange restrictions. Only those who met the conditions could inherit the ability stored within the scroll.
Although skill scrolls weren't as rare as gold arcana, they were worth quite a lot. Even the most basic skill scroll was worth tens of thousands of Glimmer shards and the ones Zhang Ying had before him were rare scrolls.
While Zhang Ying was staring at the scrolls, Alana studied his status page. He was supposed to be a weapon for her, but how would she use him if she didn't know what made him special?
"There has to be something... wait, his class..."
Zhang Ying was about to open the scrolls when Alana yanked them away.
"What—?"
"Your class. Why does it say Tamer?"
"...because I am a tamer?"
"What's your complete class?"
"…tamer?"
"Argh!"
Alana was about to say something, but held back as she jumped out of bed. She rushed out of the room and returned wearing a bodysuit. She needed someone's help to know about the irregularities he showed. Thankfully, she knew just the person for it.
"Get up. We're going back to the auction house."
Fuck! She's going to send me back.
Zhang Ying tried to think of reasons to change her mind. Alana might be unhinged, but he didn't want to lose her support. Not only because she was someone formidable, but also because she was Silvermane's only daughter. Being close to her would be good for him.
But it seemed Alana ran out of patience and activated [Widow's mark] forcing Zhang Ying to follow her. Zhang Ying could resist her control before, but Alana wasn't playing around anymore as she blasted him with full control. He didn't have a chance but to follow her.
"I'm not abandoning you," she announced as the two left the room. "You're my mate. As such, it would be odd if I didn't give you a proper wedding present, right?"
"...we're married?"
Suddenly, Alana grabbed Zhang Ying's hand and placed it on her chest. Simultaneously, she raised his chin.
"What do you think my heart says?" she asked, staring into his eyes. "Or do you think I'm not pretty enough to be your wife?"
"You're pretty..." Zhang Ying nodded. Pretty crazy, but I can't tell you that, can I?
"That settles it then," Alana said, dropping her smile as quickly as it had appeared on her face. "We're going shopping, for you, hubby."
What have I gotten into...
