Chapter 20. Mate Mark?

Elisabeth/Eir’s POV

“A deal? So, I have to follow you back and trust that you let me go in five years?”

“Basically, yes. I need to mark you for it to be believable, but the mark has weakened these last decades, so it’s nothing to worry about. Time is different here. We age differently, so five years isn’t that bad. The next time the portal opens, I will be Alpha. I will be the one in charge of picking up the new batch of girls. I can take you back.”

“Fine, that scribble some mark on me and get that part over, but how am I supposed to know you will hold your part of the deal?”

“Well, it’s a little more than just a mark. I’ll have to bite you.”

A shudder sparkled down my spine; I don’t know why. Bite me? Why does that sound so alluring? No, it’s not! He can scribble something on me if he absolutely must mark me.

“Hah. Nope, that will leave a scar! You can scribble something on me or something, write ‘mine’ even. That should be clear enough!”
