"You said you wanted to take me as your mate. Is it because my mother and Aunt Luci were friends, so you want to take care of me?" Eric raised his head, his gaze serious.
Max's black eyes held a hint of confusion: "You want to be my mate; what does that have to do with my mother?"
But he wasn't the Eric of the past. He was just a "beast of burden" from another world...
These were words that Eric could not bring himself to say aloud. No matter how rustic and simple beastmen were, it would be difficult for them to accept something like this, which resembled black magic.
Max seemed to see right through his thoughts. He suddenly stepped closer, his voice extremely low: "I know you aren't Eric, so the fact that I want you to be my mate has absolutely nothing to do with anyone else."
Boom!
It was as if a loud explosion had gone off inside Eric's head; his entire mind went blank, his body feeling empty.
