Chapter 118 Will You, Laila?
Samuel’s POV:
At last, I said the words I’d kept hidden in my heart for over ten years.
Her response was exactly what I expected.
She looked panicked, shocked, and unsure.
“Marshal Vance, you shouldn’t joke like that.”

She tripped over her words. “It sounds … impossible. Before the Vagen Battlefield, we hardly talked. How could you even like me?”
How could I not?
She was stunning. There was no one else like her:
When I was ten, I went with my elder brother to check the kingdom’s border defenses. That was when I first saw her.
She was just a small figure standing behind Kain, but she faced the Rogues at the border without fear. She even moved to shield the younger maid behind her.
That image planted itself in my heart.
Back then, I didn’t think too much about it.
Later, at Moonlight Academy, I saw her again. She had grown up, shining like a polished star.
She was the best young Alpha in our year. She was strong in battle and even challenged upperclassmen on the training grounds.
Everyone at the academy talked about her. People wanted to team up with her or compete against her.
And that blurry feeling in my heart slowly turned into something clear and burning.
I even made a quiet decision. When she came of age, I would formally ask her and her family to let us become mates.
But when I was eighteen, a calculating she-wolf tricked me and got into my bed.

Chapter 118 Will You, Laila?
That incident forced me to face the truth.

Any she-wolf who bonded with me would have the core power of her wolf spirit eaten away by a curse from my bloodline.
So I stepped back.
How could I bring that danger to Laila?
Still, I couldn’t fully let go.
Right before I left for the Vagen Battlefield, I went to Luna Diana and asked her for three years.
“If I can find a way to control or break this curse, please … give me a chance to pursue her.”
She refused.
Even then, I held on to a small bit of hope-until I heard she had become mates with Holt.
My heart turned cold. I buried my feelings.
Dear Moon Goddess, I almost wanted to thank that fool Holt.
He couldn’t see the light in her soul and ended up breaking their bond.
And just like that, hope came back.
Now the biggest problem between us was that damned bloodline curse.
“Fine. I’ll stop joking.”
Seeing how shaken she was, I sighed softly and spoke more seriously.
“Laila, just like you, I need a contracted mate. There’s a dangerous curse in my blood. It’s a secret of the Royal Court. No one else can know.
“And because of this curse, I can’t truly bond with a she-wolf.
“But I’m already twenty-five. If I don’t choose a mate soon, people will start to question me.”
