Ultimately, I still couldn’t persuade Michael, and we had sex on the deck.
As I kept thinking that there were still people in the cabin, I was particularly nervous during the whole process. This kind of tension also made Michael unexpectedly enjoy it. His chest was hot from the sun, and his whole body was majestic and powerful, making me feel I belonged to him.
After it was over, Michael and I laid side by side on the deck, reminiscing about the pleasure we had given each other.
“What’s your next plan?” I asked as I leaned on Michael’s arm.
Michael touched my hair and said casually, “I don’t know. Maybe I’ll take you around the world. Is there anywhere you want to go? ”
I frowned. “Brandon just became a new king. Are you sure it’s okay for you to leave everything to him?” I asked, puzzled. “Even when your father was still in power, you still had a lot of work to do.”
“The situation is different now.” Michael lowered his head and looked at me. “Brandon needs to form a new government. He has his system. It’s not good for me to interfere. Furthermore, Brandon knows my personality very well. I have never been willing to be confined within the palace. I’ve done many things for him to inherit the throne. He promised me that if he succeeded, he wouldn’t order me around unless there was something special but would let me do what I wanted.”
I leaned against Michael again feeling complicated.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Lycan Princes, Brandon and Michael, had enjoyed the honor and respect that ordinary people could not have since they were young. They were high and mighty, and there was nothing that they could not get, even if they wanted to. However, from what I could see now, they also had a lot of disadvantages that couldn’t be shown to others. They were born with more shackles and restraints than ordinary people.
Just like Michael, even though he had lived for almost a hundred years, he had to spend most of his life in the palace, working for his father and brother.
Although the most powerful wild beast, the golden wolf, was in his body, making everyone afraid and in awe, he also used many years to fight with it before he could control its power. It was also harder for them to find their mates than others. Even if they found them, they couldn’t be with the person they liked for some reason.
“Yes, I’ll always be with you. No matter where you go, I’ll always be by your side,” I promised Michael.
Michael smiled and pinched my face. “Of course, you have to be with me. You’re already my princess. Where else do you want to go?”
I laughed along with his words, feeling I had been a little silly.
After a while, I worriedly asked, “But do you think Brandon will face any resistance when he wants to form a new government, and the nobles did not recognize Courtney’s identity in Lycan before this?”
“You have a lot of things to worry about.” Michael looked at me in surprise. “Are you thinking of going back to help Courtney?”
“I am not.” I turned over and lay on Michael’s body, pinching his chest muscles. “Of course, I want to stay with you. I feel that they helped us back then. If possible, I want to do something for them.”
“Don’t worry. Although my parents have retired, they will still help the two of them. After all, Brandon is their son.” Michael said, “And I’m not going to stand by and do nothing. If Brandon needs me, I’ll still go back and help. It’s just that I’m no longer holding a position in the palace.”
“Oh.”
“Also, don’t underestimate Brandon.” Michael sighed. “Why do you think he’s so young when he inherits the position of the Lycan King? Although my father has been in power for a long time, he’s not considered old compared to all the previous kings. He gave up his position so quickly because we all felt that Brandon’s special ability was the most suitable for being the Lycan King. He could avoid making wrong decisions and would be a King greater than my father.”
“Special ability?” This wasn’t the first time I’d heard about this, but I was still trying to understand its meaning.
“Some Lycans will unlock their special abilities. This ability will make them stronger than others.” Michael explained, “This special ability can be manifested in various aspects. There are big and small ones. Generally, it can be divided into two categories: physical and mental. The physical ones usually strengthen a certain body part, such as the sense of smell, hearing, strength after transformation, etc. The spiritual ones are all over the place. What I know are tracking, mental communication, and memory disorder.”
“So, how does one get this special ability?” I asked.
Michael shook his head and said, “Even the royal family of Lycan has not reached a clear conclusion. However, it is generally related to a person’s strength and bloodline. The stronger the person is, the higher the probability of this special ability appearing. So far, we have not found the existence of special abilities in ordinary werewolves. We guess that this is because they are not strong enough.”
