Even though Nadia wanted to really learn about the Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolf Clan’s murals to know about her future path, she weighed her options and thought that she would really be killed or captured if she stayed here!
Hence, she avoided them, covered her tracks, and returned to her Clan, the Sunset Mountain Wolf Clan.
However, what she didn’t expect was that the Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolf Clan’s alpha somehow managed to track her back to the Sunset Mountain Wolf Clan!
He then claimed her as his own!
The alpha didn’t even have to fight, but straightaway displayed his majestic undulations that almost made her obediently submit. At that very moment, she knew that she was facing a King-Tier Magical Beast, a King of the Magical Beasts for that particular species!
Instinctively, she couldn’t help but submit, and even the urge to mate with such an existence had been invoked by her blood! She even felt that it was her honor!
However, Nadia, who possessed high aspirations, fought with her urge and instincts and bought three months of reprieve, saying that she would visit the Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolf Clan of her own will.
The leader of the Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolf Clan, the alpha then threatened to exterminate her entire Clan if she didn’t so, and as if he was extremely magnanimous, he repeatedly praised her of her courage and valor, and the luck she had possessed to become a Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolf despite being a Sunset Mountain Wolf.
After that, he left, his voice echoing that he would await her presence in the King’s mating chamber.
"Hmm... Is that why the Sunset Mountain Wolf Clan is desolate?" Davis asked.
Indeed, even the entire Sunset Mountain Wolf Clan boiled at the sentiment that their queen-like existence was being taken away, but they failed to retort or even say anything unpleasant to the alpha.
They all kept their mouths shut, including Chuno and Chudo. They previously claimed that they would make Nadia theirs, but they couldn’t even gather up their courage to look straight at the alpha in the end.
Instead, they felt like worshipping the King themselves!
"Partly yes, and partly no..."
"What do you mean?" Davis became confused.
"Although I know that they would be feeling quite bad since they didn’t raise their voice for me, it’s also because they’re being harassed by the two Lord Beast Stage Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolves sent to monitor me..."
"There’s been a strict curfew imposed in the night, that every Sunset Mountain Wolf should stay in their caves. As for the two who were sent to monitor me, they are males and have at least mated with hundred of my... Clan’s Sunset Mountain Wolves..."
Davis almost blinked.
Hundreds of mates? Weren’t those two just living their lives as kings here?
"So, they don’t dare to touch you?" He asked.
Nadia wryly harrumphed, "I’m the King’s woman it seems..."
"It seems you are really popular, Nadia, required by both me and the Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolf Clan’s alpha..." Davis couldn’t help but chuckle.
"Please don’t jest..." Nadia visibly expressed her sorrow as her face fell, "I’d rather wish I haven’t gone to that Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolf Clan..."
Davis inwardly sighed after hearing her opinion.
Sometimes, specific decisions do cause one to regret to a certain degree. Fortunately, the decisions he took in the past were something he had not regretted... including the massacre he did.
Davis released a breath and abruptly hollered out, "Get your asses out!"
His powerful voice traveled, invoking a storm that wreaked havoc, scraping the valley as dust spread out for a single moment before it disappeared into the caves as the sound reverberated.
No movements or figures were detected as a few seconds passed, but Davis turned his head to look at a single cave where two figures simultaneously shot out, except they were cloaked within the shadows.
Davis looked at them condescendingly and asked, "Tell me, Nadia, how do you want to deal with them?"
Nadia’s eyes flashed in a sophisticated light. She looked at the two uninvited guests and thought about the Clan, her Clan that had abandoned her without even uttering a word of complaint.
Although she could understand that it was in their blood to obey the next evolution in their species line, she still couldn’t help but feel disappointed that no one stepped forward to speak out for her.
Some of the male wolves of her Clan didn’t even object to their mates being taken! And some of the female wolves willfully choose to mate with these two uninvited guests despite having their male partners, and she found them extremely distasteful and disgraceful!
"Master, do you know why I asked for three months’ time?"
"Isn’t it to wait for me?" Davis blinked as he slightly felt narcissistic but also felt that it should be true.
"Yes," Nadia nodded her head, "But it is also if I can see that my Clan would break out of this subservience by themselves... Clearly, they couldn’t, and I’m not fit to be their leader either..."
"They need someone who can lead them to glory, and that is definitely not me..."
"So?" Davis narrowed his eyes.
Nadia’s brownish-black hair fluttered in the wind. She raised her hand and placed her hair behind her ear, "I’m hereby severing ties with them, so the destruction of the clan is no longer my concern..."
"I’m ready to go back with you as your mount... L-Lets just leave..." Nadia uttered, but her voice trembled.
Davis smiled, "Are you scared of that alpha?"
"Not at all..." Nadia shook her head, "I know that master possesses strange methods to subjugate Eighth Stage Experts, so I’m rather assured that you’ll be able to deal with the alpha even if he is at the Eighth Stage..."
Davis’s eyes twitched. He couldn’t kill a King Beast Stage Magical Beast without sacrificing more than a quarter of his soul essence... or so he felt.
Thankfully, the alpha only seemed to be at Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage due to bloodline shackles, which was well within his dealing range.
"Then why do you want to leave? Haven’t you worked hard for protecting them against that Crowned Violet-Winged Condor?"
Nadia’s expression changed, but then, she couldn’t help but laugh.
"Protect them? It was more like I was delaying the inevitable as I didn’t completely offend the Crowned Violet-Winged Condor but instead let sacrifices be taken away... My actions were in vain..."
Davis reached his hand and placed it on her head as she shuffled her hair, "Who said your actions were in vain? If you weren’t there, the Sunset Mountain Wolf would have long migrated and ended up dead in the hands of humans or magical beasts..."
"So what you did was not something done in vain... You have tried to save many as you can..."
Nadia’s yellow pupils trembled as she stood stiff while her eyes became moist. She bit her lips, trying to stop her tears from flooding.
"I... I f-feared for my life..." Her lips quivered.
"It is natural to fear for one’s life... Just as your Clan did when you were being bullied... However, different from them, you actually stood up for them because you stayed and didn’t escape even though you had the power to..." Davis gently echoed.
Nadia experienced a tremble in her mind. She tried to deny, but her voice choked up for some reason.
She silently let out tears and closed her eyes as she sniffled. She looked as if she refused to cry loudly, perhaps not trying her best to attract the attention of the two Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolves who were still searching for them.
They searched left and right, high and low for a few minutes, but were unable to find the source of the voice that sounded arrogant.
Looking at this magical beast cry in human form, Davis really felt that she was extremely humane for a moment.
However, he abruptly corrected himself, ’I first have to stop associating extreme emotions as exclusive to humans... All lives experience emotions... Even the Lightning Elemental with a Will wasn’t very different...’
He inwardly let out a sigh and used his soul force along with his death-like energy to conceal Nadia while he descended towards the two wolves who were still searching for him.
One of the two Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolves looked at the cave holes, thinking that the voice’s owner, a Sunset Mountain Wolf should’ve done from their pent-up dissent.
"Hehe..."
He couldn’t help but laugh at their miserable lives, but his yellow pupils abruptly dilated when he saw a human suddenly appear in front of him, right in front of his eyes as the human sat cross-legged on his muzzle!
His entire body stiffened as his fur coat turned numb!
He dared not move and even tried to blink the human away but couldn’t. The next moment, he knew that it was no illusion!
