'Setting the mission aside, out of all her Beast Husbands, Danton was definitely her type.'
The gentle Beastman from the Mer Clan looked down at her, his light blue eyes tinged with red.
After a long moment, he murmured, "He was right. I have truly failed in my duties as a male."
Evangeline's brows knitted. Unhappy with his words, she leaned in and crushed her lips against Danton's.
Danton grunted, thrown off balance by the sudden force of the kiss. As he leaned back, his slender hand instinctively wrapped around her waist to keep her from falling. Evangeline didn't pull away until his pale, thin lips were stained with the color of blood.
"It wasn't you who failed," she said. "It was the old me. I was the one who didn't deserve to be your mate."
"But look, everything is getting better now."
