Trapped in Beast World: My Husbands Are All Animals! Novel

Chapter 213 Who is That? "Okay!" Calder squeezed her hand tight, and his heart finally slowed down from its frantic pace. 47 +10 Free Coins What was he so afraid of? Ardenia was so good to him-there was no way she'd turn her back on him just because she knew about his past. Those wandering therians who once abused and sold him-he was going to end them today! Ardenia was thinking along the same lines. She didn't know exactly who was after her Calder, but the only one allowed to mess with Calder was her.

When Calder carried Ardenia ashore, the docks were already crowded with therians, split into two rival groups. Ardenia only needed one glance to get the picture. This had to be the East Shore of Demon Abyss, the place where Calder had been trafficked all those years ago. The woods around them were dense and tangled, with a thick, toxic mist everywhere. The ocean, bright blue just moments ago, had turned black, with wild waves thrashing under a howling wind. It was almost terrifying. No wonder he didn't want her to come here. "King Calder.

Queen." Two elders from the sea clan came forward to greet them. Calder nødded, signaling them to fall back. But as soon as he looked up, he saw the half-man, half-eagle therian already staring at Ardenia. The look in his eyes was sleazy and disgusting. Calder frowned and pulled Ardenia behind him. "Why so possessive?" the therian mocked, then sat down on a rock with a sneer. "Who is that?" Ardenia asked. "That's Syrkon, the leader of the wandering therians from the East Shore. During the years I was missing.

his group controlled this coast, running a sea salt business and trafficking any of the sea clan members they could catch-including me, back then..." Calder trailed off, the memories clearly painful. Wow, this guy's stacked up a ton of bad karma. So Calder had come back to deal with Syrkon. But there was something Ardenia didn't get-if the two sides hated each other, why was the sea clan still trading sea salt with Syrkon's group? 1/2 14 A 111 O 13:01 Wed, Jan 21 M. Chapter 213 Who is That? She asked Calder about it. 47 +10 Free Coins Calder's checks flushed red. He looked embarrassed.

"The merfolks were limited on land, but we can't resist the pull of the tides. Syrkon hunts merfolk during tidal shifts to sell them. We trade sea salt to ransom our people back..." Ardenia was speechless. Seriously? "No more sea salt. I won't give you any of my territory either. Get lost!" Ardenia pulled Calder behind her. This stunned everyone, especially those from the sea clan. Wait, what's going on? The queen's protecting the king now? Calder's eyes got red with emotion again, but he held it in. Syrkon perked up when he saw Ardenia.

He'd already noticed her, but he hadn't expected her to stand up for Calder. A female who turned the tables like that was new to him. "Interesting. All the females I've seen just hide behind the males. But you actually dare to stand up like this. Don't you realize that, by acting this way, the one next to you won't be able to protect you?" "Who says I can't protect her?" Calder's scales flared, his voice booming through the air. Syrkon was forced to retreat, and in the next instant, the two of them lunged at each other.

It was rare for merfolk to pick a fight on land, but that was exactly what Calder did. Even Syrkon couldn't help but feel some respect for this new king of the sea clan. Still, he seemed to forget his kind were naturally weak against Syrkon's eagle powers. Syrkon spread his wings, blocking Calder's attack, then dove at him with razor-sharp talons, giving Calder no chance to breathe. But Calder wasn't weak-especially not with Sea Emperor blood in his veins. It let him move freely on land.

He let go, pushed off with his legs, and launched himself into the air-his tail flashing as he transformed mid-leap. Syrkon sneered, "So you're just going to jump into my mouth? If you lose, it'll cost you even more to trade with me." He wanted this merman, and he wanted his female, too. Syrkon was fast, and he was certain that his speed was too much for any sea clan member. If Calder wanted to die in front of his female, he'd be more than happy to grant his wish. Calder narrowed his eyes. He could see Syrkon had taken the bait.

With a sudden burst of speed, Calder soared several feet higher, aiming straight for Syrkon's talons. 2/2 Liam Prescott
