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

Chapter 22 Two Beasts and One Heart " So , my little female , how do I compare to that snow lion from earlier ? " Ardenia didn't answer . She was too busy savoring the solid warmth beneath her fingertips . Master above , look at your disciple now - actually getting handsy with a man ! " If you won't speak , I'll take that as you think I'm better . " He leaned closer , lips hovering near hers . The air between them was already charged ; a kiss hardly seemed too much at this point . It's not like I'd be losing anything , she thought .

If even Niall doesn't mind , what's there for me to be shy about ? He pecked her lips like a curious bird , showing not a hint of disgust . Holding her round face gently in his hands , he let out a weak laugh . " I'd love to keep going , but ... looks like I can't . " His voice grew faint , his body trembling until , in a blink , he was back in his fox form - curled up and trembling , eyes full of reluctant frustration . What a perfect chance . I almost had her ... if only this body weren't so useless . Rage simmered in his heart .

When the Moon Tide Festival comes , I swear I'll find whoever drugged me and tear them to pieces ! Ardenia sighed under her breath and carefully moved the unconscious fox back into his nest so he could rest more comfortably . No sooner had she done that than Halden appeared . She glanced at the leopard sprawled on her bed and didn't know how to respond . Is everyone getting riled up because of what Deria said ? " You really want to dissolve the bond ? " Halden asked , sounding almost wounded . Ardenia tilted her head , question marks practically popping above it .

" You're the ones talking about dissolving the bond , not me . " " It's them - not me ," Halden said quickly . He moved closer , brushing his face against her hand like a big cat begging for affection . The moment he did , his ears shot up . That fox's scent ... His eyes narrowed . He got to her first ? D * mn that sly fox . His fluffy tail wound around her leg and slid upward before she could even speak . Then , without waiting for her reaction , he wrapped his arms around her . " Don't chase me away . " Ardenia looked down at him and sighed inwardly .

I swear these two have a thing for ugly girls ! 14:34 Tue , Dec 30 Chapter 22 Two Beasts and One Heart : 73 +20 Free Coins Still , she couldn't deny that she was touched . Given how she looked now , neither Halden nor Niall had shown the slightest disgust . Men were visual creatures , after all - and for them to treat her this way stirred something in her heart . " I'm not chasing you away . But let go first . " Halden's face lit up immediately . He loosened his tail but quickly added , " Then ... can I sleep with you ?

" In the original Ardenia's memory , Halden had been the quiet type , but the one before her was anything but passive - fighting , competing for her attention . She sighed again and pulled a pillow and blanket from her pocket space . Halden's eyes gleamed when he saw how soft they looked . " For me ? " Ardenia nodded . He planted a happy kiss on her cheek . " Thank you , my little female . I love it . " Then he lay down beside her . At first , Ardenia felt awkward , but after a moment , she told herself it was fine .

Just as she began to drift off , Halden's arm slipped around her , and his warm breath brushed the top of her head . Her face flushed instantly . " I know Niall's here . I won't touch you . Don't worry ," he murmured , his gentle voice rumbling above her . Her cheeks burned even hotter . It was the first time she had ever shared a bed with a man - she was just bashful . " I ... I've never slept next to anyone before ," she admitted quietly . Halden chuckled , his chin grazing her hair . Maybe he was holding her too tightly , because she gave a small , breathy whimper .

The sound was so soft , so sweet , that his whole body went rigid . His breathing grew heavier for a moment , but seeing that she didn't seem to mean anything by it , he forced the rush of heat down and held her more carefully . Ardenia's body still glowed faintly green . She had been detoxifying herself nonstop these days , using acupuncture day and night . The results were showing - when she woke the next morning , she noticed her animal - hide skirt had grown looser again . Sure enough , with the fat - burning technique , I've lost a lot of weight !

Standing before the mirror , she studied her reflection and couldn't help feeling satisfied . Her skin tone had improved too - no longer mucky , but a healthier shade of tan . She tied her hair into a half - ponytail and secured it with a sandalwood hairpin . Her waist had 2/3 14:34 Tue , Dec 30 Chapter 22 Two Beasts and One Heart 73 +20 Free Coins slimmed considerably , and as the weather grew warmer , she decided to shed the heavy animal - hide top , replacing it with a light cotton blouse she pulled from her pocket space . 3 Austen
