Chapter 2 The Silver Wolf Mate Chapter 2 The Silver Wolf Mate Ardenia splashed around in the water for a bit , finding it impossible to look straight at herself . I should've known better than to look . This is a double blow to the soul ! 079 +10 Free Coins Beating her chest in despair , she watched the flesh on her body jiggle with every thump . The face she'd seen reflected in the lake- " hideous " didn't even begin to cover it . A waffle of a face , flattened like it had been run over by a wagon wheel .
Her features were sunken , her cheeks sagging with uneven lumps of fat , and folds of flesh hung from her chin like a turkey's wattle . Honestly ... unforgettable . Utterly unforgettable ! Tears streamed down her face as she thought about it . No wonder ... on this Beastworld , where the ratio of males to females is one to 500 , the original Ardenia still managed to end up with only five unwilling mates . It'd be a miracle if anyone actually wanted her ! There was no way she could accept looking like this . The longer she observed herself , the more she noticed something wasn't right .
Pressing her right hand to the pulse of her left wrist , she quickly reached a conclusion - she'd been poisoned . That explained everything : the swelling , the distorted features , the grotesque shape of her body . The toxin had spread through her system over time , making her look frighteningly ugly . She was still lost in thought when a sound came from behind her . Ardenia jumped , her heart lurching . Please tell me there isn't a python in this water . I hate snakes !
Her body began to tremble uncontrollably , and before she could react , her foot slipped , and she plunged headfirst into the river . After flailing for what felt like forever , she finally managed to roll her plump body over . Just as she lifted her head , she found herself staring straight into a pair of golden eyes . The man before her was tall and broad - shouldered , with a pair of wolf ears twitching atop his head . His long white hair was drenched , droplets of water sliding down the strands - and dripping along the ridges of his abs , all the way down . Gulp . Ardenia swallowed hard .
Good grief ... is this not basically Alucard of Castlevania himself ?! The man was none other than her silver wolf mate , Vesper Wolfe , " Get lost !!! " Vesper said coldly , his brows knitting in irritation . So she didn't get her way with Calder and came here to pester me instead ? That made two people that night who'd told her to get lost . Ardenia's temper flared . She took a few steps back and jabbed a finger at him . " What , you own this river ? " " Nope ." Vesper replied curtly , " In that case , why can't I be in it ? " she shot back . 1/3 13:04 Tue , Dec 30 GO .
Chapter 2 The Silver Wolf Mate +10 Free Coins Just as she finished , a sudden itch spread across her scalp . She raised a hand to scratch - and immediately wished she hadn't . Lice . Seriously ? The original Ardenia had lice ?! Vesper's cold chuckle confirmed he'd noticed too . " Snow , tell me , what's the difference between you and a half - formed ? " Damn , this guy's tongue is venom - tipped ! Even though Ardenia had only just arrived in this world , she knew from the original Ardenia's memories that being called a half - formed was a vicious insult .

It referred to therians who'd failed to complete their shift - creatures without level , without self- sufficiency , and with pitifully short lifespans . Every tribe had a few of them , surviving only on the charity of others . Ardenia grinned . " Of course there's a difference . " " What ? " Vesper asked flatly . " The difference ," she said with a smug tilt of her chin , " is that I have you guys . " What , think you're the only one who can throw filth around ? Sure enough , Vesper's golden pupils shrank into tiny pinpoints .
Ardenia didn't let him get another word in -she summoned a vine into her palm and snapped it across his face with a sharp crack . " Next time , watch your mouth . " Vesper had originally intended to teach her a lesson , but the moment he saw the vine curl from her hand , his expression shifted . His eyes glinted faintly with something like surprise - or was it approval ? " You've awakened an ability ?! " It was rare for females to awaken any kind of ability - there were barely a handful across the entire Beastworld .
Yet here Ardenia was , and judging by that vine , hers was a wood - based ability - one of the rarest kinds . D* mn it , Ardenia thought . That slipped out . I got too worked up . In this unfamiliar world , the fewer people who knew what she was capable of , the better . Ignoring his question , she turned and heaved herself our of the water , muttering under her breath as she Trudged away , " If you didn't look like Alucard , I'd have smacked the manners right out of you . " Vesper said nothing , though his twitching ears betrayed his irritation .
It took real effort for her mountain - sized body to move , but after struggling along the path guided by the original Ardenia's memories , she finally reached her den . She barely stepped through the entrance before retching violently . 2/3 13:04 Tue , Dec 30 Chapter 2 The Silver Wolf Mate +10 Free Coins This is where I live ?! The stench was suffocating - like a garbage truck tearing past in midsummer , hot air thick with rot blasting straight up her nose . " Ugh- " She doubled over , gagging until she vomited up bile .
The cave was pitch - dark , its walls slick with grime , the ground scattered with bones and half - burned scraps of unidentifiable meat . Several animal hides were thrown around in a heap , something visibly crawling across one of them . In that moment , even Vesper's venomous tongue didn't seem so unfair anymore . There was no way she could sleep in that hole , so she found a bare patch of ground outside and made do for the night . The original Ardenia's cave sat a good distance from the tribe .
Because of her ugliness and size , she'd rarely left her home , and since she'd cry suicide to get her mates ' attention every other week , the chieftain had eventually assigned her a cave at the far edge of the territory - far enough not to bother anyone else . At dawn , Ardenia returned to the river . This time , she scanned the area carefully . After confirming no one was nearby , she waded in to wash . She peeled off her beast - hide skirt and tossed it into the water , then began scrubbing herself thoroughly .
Her folds of flesh made the process exhausting , and she realized for the first time in her life that even bathing could feel like labor . With no soap or shampoo , she grabbed a handful of Honey Locust leaves from the riverbank and crushed them against her scalp . Huh , not bad . Even in this primitive world , there are plenty of natural resources around . Inspired , she let her energy flow with her movements . Cool , clear water curled around her fingertips and gently filtered through her hair , washing away the lice one by one . She was delighted - until she sensed something wrong .
Her cultivation technique felt ... compressed . Diminished . Fortunately , she could still use it - barely . Once she was finally clean , Ardenia climbed ashore again . There was no salvaging that cave ; just the thought of tidying it made her stomach turn . Her wet hide skirt clung to her body uncomfortably , so she formed a hand seal , conjuring a soft breeze to wrap around her . Within moments , her clothes and hair were dry . That's better , " she sighed with satisfaction . No sooner had the words left her mouth than a voice sounded behind her .
She turned to see Vesper standing there , tossing a mountain goat to her feet . " Today's meal , he said curtly . Right - five mates , each taking turns to feed her . One animal a day . But one a day ? Sheesh - she can really eat ! Poison aside , the original Ardenia clearly wasn't blameless here .
