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

Chapter 258 Things to Handle : VPN 52 +20 Free Coins Ardenia had always possessed a tender heart. Now that Leorak had just sworn allegiance to the Wolf Tribe, something this tragic happening right after would no doubt weigh heavily on her. She would surely blame herself again. Colin already understood that tonight did not belong to him. The moment Niall lifted Ardenia into his arms and walked off, Colin circled back to the riverbank. Several items still remained where they had been left. That female had given everything to bring those things into the world.

It was only right to gather all of them properly. By the time Niall brought her home, Ardenia had already fallen asleep against his chest. Niall could barely take it. She had collapsed the second her body touched the grass-lined bedding. Niall must have rearranged the nest for her. It smelled freshly prepared. It felt warm and comforting. A gentle floral fragrance lingered in the air inside the cave. It truly was the ideal space for rest. Niall fetched a bowl of hot water, gently wiped her hands and face clean, and freshened up as well. Once he was done, he curled up quietly beside her.

"Goodnight, Ardenia." She did not respond. Her sleep was deep and unbroken. When she finally opened her eyes, Niall was still fast asleep. At some point during the night, his beast form had surfaced, and his fluffy tail now lay sprawled over her belly like a plush blanket. Outside, the sky remained dim, but the horizon had begun to brighten. Ardenia rose on tiptoe and slipped into the bath. She still could not understand how Niall had tolerated how drenched in sweat she had been. She really had drained herself completely the day before.

While removing her clothes, she noticed her stomach had swollen even more. It was clear she would not be able to move around like this much longer. As she stepped out of the bathroom, she caught sight of someone standing in the open clearing where they typically dried grain. It was Colin. He was sorting the harvest they had hauled back yesterday. There were so many sugar canes piled up in the corner, they nearly reached his chest. 1/4 19:45 Thu, Feb 12 Chapter 258 Things to Handle : "Why are you still working?

You could have left that for tomorrow." Ardenia leaned against the nearest tree, wearing a gentle smile. VPN 52 +20 Free Coins She had just bathed, so her hair was down. The rose scent clinging to her skin was especially vivid. She had not worn a shawl. Just a single long dress. The softness in her expression was impossible to miss. Colin froze. His hands stopped moving altogether. "I figured I would wrap up before resting. Ardenia, are you alright?" He was clearly referring to the incident involving the Leopard Tribe. A dull throb struck her chest.

Ardenia knew this was the harsh nature of survival. The powerful endured, and the weak suffered. But those cubs... Every time she thought of them, the ache grew sharper. Cearra was a female too. Yet she had betrayed her kind. She had taken innocent lives. No excuse could justify that. "Give her head to Leorak." Colin gave a slow nod. "Understood..." Ardenia did not linger. Tonight was Niall's. She had to respect the rule. Even if Colin had done exceptionally well. She had noticed his efforts in recent days.

From someone who had known nothing and earned zero, he had managed to pull off a passing score. That progress made her proud. A mate had to be trained, and it had to be done with patience. As she turned to go, Colin abruptly stepped forward and blocked her way. "Ardenia, may I kiss you? Just one. I promise it will be just one." A kiss landed on her forehead. Then one on the tip of her nose. And lastly, one on her lips. "Get some rest." "Alright!" Colin nodded vigorously, beaming from ear to ear as he made his way to the bath.

2/4 19:45 Thu, Feb 12 Chapter 258 Things to Handle : VPN 52 +20 Free Coins When he came back, Niall was already awake. He was lying in the grass nest, visibly upset. you not like me anymore?" Ardenia blinked. "What?" "Where is this coming from?" "Do Niall let out a small huff. "Ever since that guy arrived, you have not looked my way. Even though tonight is supposed to be mine, you still let him kiss you. Ardenia, do you not find me attractive anymore?" He paused. "Or..." The little fox bit his lower lip, his voice dropping.

"Or is it because I am not as big?" He did not have the natural advantages of the snake therian. He certainly was not like Halden... For the past two days, Niall had been quietly insecure. He really just said he was not big enough. How could anyone recover from hearing that? "Did you sneak a look under Halden's pants or something?" Niall looked visibly awkward. Someone like Halden did not require proof. It was self-evident. "Niall, if something else is living in your body right now, just blink. I will figure out how to rescue you. This is not the Ardenia I know. You used to be confident.

You always told me you had tricks to keep me happy. What happened? Why are you suddenly being sentimental?" She really was such a handful. Ardenia laid down next to him. She genuinely liked being around him. The little fox was always attuned to her feelings. They clicked so naturally. She simply could not wrap her head around why he kept comparing himself to Halden, who was clearly above average in every way. "You really do not mind?" Niall took her hand and gently guided it downward. Ardenia politely helped him measure. In the end, her lips moved, forming a single word without sound.

3/4 19:45 Thu, Feb 12 Chapter 258 Things to Handle Niall finally smiled. He had been right. "Ardenia, are you truly alright?" He pulled her close again, concern flooding his eyes. "I really did all I could..." VPN 2 +20 Free Coins Niall pressed a kiss to her forehead. "I know. I saw it all. Halden and Vesper will protect the surviving Leopards. Ardenia, you were remarkable." "You are only saying that to cheer me up. We were lucky tonight. Niall, how could she be so evil? We are both females. Even if there is competition between tribes, how could she sink that low?

Those were cubs..." 4/4 Editorial board Editorial Board: Our editorial team works behind the scenes to refine each chapter, maintain consistency, and deliver the best reading experience.
