Chapter 150
“How much did he lick and bite you that even after several days, his possessiveness still lingers like this?”
Duke Blois’s pheromones were not only strong but stubborn. They had seeped into every corner of her body, leaving no place untouched by his scent. So Aesir began layering his own pheromones over them.
Starting with her hair, he gradually slipped his hand beneath the blanket and released his pheromones inside. Duke Blois’s scent was still stronger, but once enough of his own scent clung to her to be clearly noticeable, he bent his upper body low and examined Sia’s face from close range.
The small mouth that drew shallow breaths looked quite delicate. When that mouth had bitten him, it had tickled so much that he had scratched the spot harshly. Even when several scales had come loose and caught at his fingertips, he hadn’t been able to stop.
“Ha, so that’s why it was ‘human, human’ all the time…”
Humans certainly had a strange charm. Even though her body was so fragile that he doubted whether she could bear a healthy child, that very fragility kept stirring something in him.
“Hm…”
He touched the faintly pulsing pale nape of her neck with his fingertips and fell into thought. If she hadn’t been sick, he might have already sank his fangs into her nape and injected pleasure fluid, spending the night with her. Feeling some regret about that, Aesir lingered by her side for a long while before finally leaving the bedroom.
Since he had thoroughly provoked both the wolf tribe and the cat tribe, he now had to prepare for what was coming.

Meanwhile, Sia was having a strange dream. She was aware that she was dreaming.
“…This is what they call a lucid dream, right?”
Muttering to herself, she looked at the place where she stood. The ground, white and soft like clouds, felt comfortable even beneath her bare feet.
Instead of standing still, she began to walk. She didn’t know where this place was, but it was so beautiful and cozy that she wanted to look around. As she wandered without direction, a sweet scent drifted from far away. It smelled like perfectly ripened peaches, and she couldn’t resist.
“Smells delicious…”
She had always loved peaches, but she especially loved the canned peaches her mother sometimes made. When she ate the sugar-soaked peaches chilled, even her pain would disappear…
Perhaps she loved them even more because her mother only made them when she was very sick. Only then, only for her. Following the overly sweet scent like peaches soaked in syrup, she walked until she saw a beautifully arranged table.
A white canopy fluttered in the breeze, and beneath it a table was set with various desserts and tea. Sia approached on her own, feeling as if everything had been prepared just for her.
As she was about to sit, she thought of Nox, who always pulled out the chair for her, and her expression fell.
“I wish he would come back soon.”
It even felt awkward to pull out the chair by herself now. Still, she bravely reached for the desserts in front of her. The first thing she picked up was a small plate of neatly sliced peaches. After popping one into her mouth, she let out a pleased hum and reached for the other sweets as well.
While she was eating without thinking, a cat’s meow sounded from somewhere. Sia put down her fork and turned toward the direction of the sound. The cry felt strangely familiar, and as she stared, a cat suddenly jumped out from the bushes.
Her eyes widened as if they might tear.
It had the same black fur as Nox, but its appearance was clearly different. Recognizing the difference, Sia called out the cat’s name in a delighted voice.
“Cola!”
“Meow!”
The Cola who had never even shown his tail when she searched for him suddenly appeared and ran toward her. With his tail raised, he rubbed his whole body against her legs and even pushed his head against her as if greeting her.
The moment Sia lifted Cola into her arms, she met the gaze of someone who was already sitting across from her.
Or rather, she wasn’t sure if it could be called meeting their gaze. She couldn’t make out the face clearly, yet she could feel the presence watching her.
“I am pleased to meet you like this…”
A voice she had heard somewhere before echoed from all directions. Sia immediately realized that the being before her was God of this place.
