Chapter 259 More Disdain VPN 52 +20 Free Coins Ardenia could not stop shaking. She had always found hyenas revolting, but now her hatred had turned visceral. "Cearra is exactly what you would expect from a classic mainland female. She bonded with a few powerful mates from the Mammoth Tribe, and suddenly, she thought she ruled the world. She ignored every boundary. Changed forms whenever it suited her. Slept with males from every tribe nearby. No one ever held her accountable, so she just kept going. That inflated her ego beyond repair.
"The Leopard Tribe only had one real fighter, and that was Leorak. He kept to himself. Always honest. Always quiet. The kind who became everyone's target. Whether he joined the Wolf Tribe or not, this would have happened eventually." While Niall spoke, he wrapped his arms more tightly around her. "You should not carry this on your shoulders. You did nothing wrong. Just focus on recovering and getting settled in." "I know. I will speak to Father soon." Ardenia's heart ached for the cubs. Cearra did not deserve to be called a female. She was a predator with no soul.
Niall's hand moved slowly along her spine. He hummed something low and tuneless. His only wish was to lull her back to sleep. She was still carrying, still exhausting herself, and it pained him to see it. Tonight, he had no intention of laying a finger on her, but she had other plans. That greedy little thing still had not had enough. After all this time, she had not lost interest in him at all. "Why do you have to look like this, Niall? If you were even slightly less handsome, I might be able to resist." "Is that flattery or mischief?" "Both. You have not made me happy in forever.
I cannot throw myself at you?" Ardenia yanked his shirt over his head. That little fox's skin was porcelain white, practically luminous. He was slim in all the right places. Lying there, he looked like something crafted by a sculptor. "You are so outrageous," Niall muttered. 1/4 19:46 Thu, Feb 12 VPN 52 Chapter 259 More Disdain He rolled her to her side, making sure he did not press against her belly. "Ardenia." "What?" He leaned close. His voice dropped to a whisper. "Do you enjoy being with me?" "Is that not obvious?" She tossed the question back without skipping a beat.

+20 Free Coins His hand slid beneath her skirt, tracing the curve of her thigh. That stupid leopard Halden had played some kind of trick on him earlier that week. Whatever it was had left him drained for days. He had always felt confident in this area, but lately, doubt had crept in. That was his fault. Niall let out a quiet chuckle. He inhaled her scent like sugar melting into heat. "Your body already answered me, sweetheart." "What does that mean?" Ardenia always relaxed around him. Her bare shoulder peeked out just enough. Her posture shifted.
Her gaze turned soft, as if her whole body surrendered. Niall's pupils turned bright red. His breath grew shallow. She accused him of being a tease, but truthfully, she was worse. Every single day around her felt like being trapped in mating season. She was too warm. Too tempting. "I will take excellent care of you," he rasped. His breath brushed against her shoulder. His tail curled over her waist. He dragged his tongue slowly along the edge of her ear. She gasped in quiet bursts. Niall shut his eyes, basking in her warmth. He was deeply in love with her. That much, he knew.
Colin came back from washing up and headed straight to his nest. He had deliberately avoided Niall's den. Instead, he slipped in from the kitchen path. 2/4 19:46 Thu, Feb 12 Chapter 259 More Disdain : VPN 52 +20 Free Coins But Niall's voice echoed loud and clear. Colin's brows furrowed. Why did that fox sound so needy? He understood the appeal of being spoiled, but did he really have to whimper like that? Colin whimpered too. Quietly. Discreetly. Not like this. That little fox was shameless. Colin groaned and clutched his ears. What he did not realize was that Niall was doing it on purpose.
The little fox had heard Colin's steps. That was exactly why he turned up the dramatics. After all, Colin had stolen a kiss. It was time for revenge. Irritated and restless, Colin marched back into his own cave. He did not bother lying down. His gaze went straight to the charm dolls sitting on the stone platform. One was for her. One was for him. "Ardenia." He whispered her name, reverently. He thought back to that moment on the mountaintop. His heart had almost exploded from joy. That was what it felt like to be chosen in secret. He had been picked.
The more he thought about it, the less he resented Niall. She belonged to them. And now, she belonged to him too. He had already made a promise. He would stay calm. He would not stress her out again. His mind spiraled with emotion until it wore itself out. His body slumped. His eyes closed. Sleep finally took over. Ardenia slept straight through to the afternoon. Halden and Vesper had been gone since morning, still caught up in whatever they were doing. The Leopard Tribe had been moved to the open slope next to the Wolf Tribe. There was plenty of room. Perfect for building nests.
Quincy had been busy too, helping the mothers with their cubs. The whole Wolf Tribe felt like it had come alive again. The Leopards had not just surrendered. They had become part of the pack. Once things had settled, Leorak went looking for Halden. 3/4 19:46 Thu, Feb 12 Chapter 259 More Disdain : He wanted to see Ardenia in person. Hawthorne had already told him everything. VPN 52 +20 Free Coins She had saved his life. Without her, he would be buried right now. He could not let that go unspoken. He needed to thank her properly. Ardenia had just finished her shower.
She stepped into clean clothes, feeling fresh again, when she heard the front gate shift open. Colin opened the door. Leorak stood there, flanked by the surviving Leopards. They all dropped to their knees. Two neat rows, lining the courtyard. 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.
