Chapter 225: The Mating Mark

Gu Mengmeng looked down and let out a surprised ‘Eh?’.
Pushing the bowl of water (?) to one side, Gu Mengmeng stared at her collarbone in shock for a while. She rubbed it, before rubbing her own eyes to make sure that what she saw was not a hallucination.
A realistic black wolf was standing on her collarbone, raising its head high to howl at the moon. The combination was an extremely ingenious one, her collarbone was the cliff, while the wolf had its own pride alone.
Gu Mengmeng looked at the pattern on her collarbone then looked at Elvis, before looking down at her collarbone and Elvis again. Repeating this for a few times, Gu Mengmeng frowned and became angry, “You did a tattoo on me when I was asleep?”
Elvis did not know what a tattoo was, but he figured out she was referring to the wolf mark on her collarbone.
Seeing that she was probably not fond of it, Elvis actually felt very hurt.
Not wanting Gu Mengmeng to notice his feelings, Elvis pretended to be calm and answered, “This is the mating mark, you will have it after mating.”
Gu Mengmeng decided that it should not be a tattoo indeed. No matter how deep asleep she was, it would be impossible for her to not feel the pain of tattooing. Moreover, new tattoos took dozens of days for the swelling to subside, she would not have felt painless touching it right after tattooing.
So she let out a sorry smile and said, “I’m still half asleep and can’t think clearly. Don’t mind my blabbering.”
Elvis forced out a faint smile and said quietly, “It’s no wonder you didn’t like it. After all, you prefer snow foxes to black wolves.”
Gu Mengmeng almost bit her tongue. The newly wed husband discussing your ex right after the wedding night? Was he going to bring up the past?
“Who… who said I don’t like it? I like it so much, look, how cool is that.”
Elvis hugged her into his arms, lightly rubbed against the mark on her collarbone and said, “I am actually very satisfied that it ended up here, although not right on the heart. After all, I expected it to be on your ankles or arms, I didn’t even think that it could be this close to your heart.”
Gu Mengmeng looked down at the wolf on her collarbone and felt warm with the thought of this being the symbol of Elvis. She asked, “Don’t you agree that you looked so handsome standing here? The wolf kings I saw in movies all stood like this, how mighty and powerful!”
Elvis’s hand touched Gu Mengmeng’s collarbone and said, “As long as it’s on your body, I am already satisfied… regardless of the position.”
Gu Mengmeng leaned into Elvis’s arms, looked at his finger caressing her collarbone and asked, “Regardless of the position? Don’t mating marks have a fixed position?”
Elvis held Gu Mengmeng’s hands and embraced her entirely. He kissed her on the cheeks and answered, “The position of the mark depends on the significance level of the male in the female’s heart. The nearer it is towards the heart, the more affection she has towards him. In normal families, female forms the core, followed by the first partner, the rest was then decided by the position of the mark on the female’s body. If a male could leave his mark on the female’s heart, even the first partner in the family might have to fear this male.
“Oh…” Gu Mengmeng did not know why but she felt a sense of guilt. Although the position of the mark was not something she could control, she still felt she owed something to Elvis for not leaving it on her heart.
