Wait. I don't quite get it. Is he or is he not a female Lycan? Because I thought he was worried that he wasn't and that Hwa mistook the scent for the little brothers scent.
No, he is NOT a female ! He is a male ! That's why Hwa sy "it's different from our first time" ! The first time, seolhyun seduces him with is brother (female lycan) 's pheromone but the second time, he didn't use it !
And he's father confirmed he wasn't a female. I think he just wanted the two adopted siblings to be mates, because one is a male and the other a female pureblood, that's all.
And I think it's a quesiton of fated pair if Hwa is drag so much to Seolhun and it has nothing to do with if they are male or female.
He is female. My theory is when they were young Seolhyun met Hwa and marked him as his mate. Males can’t mark a female but they never said a female can’t mark a male. When Seolhyun marked Hwa it must’ve angered his lycan clan since female lycans are rare. I’m sure they already had plans to have him paired with one of their own pure blood male lycans. So, inorder to severe the mark they tried to kill Hwa but instead he survived with injuries and was hospitalized. Because of this Hwa’s parents found out what was going on and they were ready to go to war with Seolhyun’s family in order to protect their son. However, to avoid casualties both sides came to a compromise which was to severe the mark Seolhyun made on Hwa by erasing both their memories. The lycan clan then lied to Seolhyun that he is male and had him stay with his male lycan brother hoping the male scent will mask Seolhyun’s female sent and hide him from potential pursuers. All while Seolhyun believes his brother is female. Despite all the efforts, they didn’t account for the possibility that a female marking her mate was a strong bond that couldn’t be easily erased by a memory spell. Years later, Seoulhyun and Hwa met again.
They are so perfect together!
