The Villainess Wants a Divorce:Beast Husbands Regret It to Tears-Chapter 163: I’ll Be Gentle

He nudged his chin towards the long-vacant stone house beside him.

"I’ve moved into The Beast Realm too, just happened to end up as your neighbor. I was intending to greet the new neighbor, didn’t expect it to be you."

Seraphina stood at the doorway, a hint of caution surfacing in her heart.

This hostility...

Why is it so intense?

She frowned slightly but internally, clearly sensing no verbal conflicts nor direct offenses.

Yet, every glance, every move from Albert made her uneasy.

In fact, males without official positions but with skills and the ability to live independently could indeed apply to move to The Beast Realm.

Though management here is strict, the doors remain open for the strong.

Recently, quite a few outside beastfolk had come to The Beast Realm.

To prevent chaos, The Council of Elders enhanced patrols, set up checkpoints, and conducted individual registrations and inspections for newcomers.

Generally, only priests or males of Green Rank and above were allowed to reside.

This was an ironclad rule, with no exceptions.

As a Blue Rank Beastman, Albert’s combat prowess was also top-notch within the Elephant Clan.

Moreover, he had been credited for his role in a border mission, granting him a spacious stone house during the move.

However, Seraphina always felt his appearance at such a time was too coincidental.

He shouldn’t have been here. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Besides, between them...

There was never any pleasant past.

Just days ago, they’d met in the Elephant Clan’s tribe, how had he so quickly relocated to The Beast Realm?

Seraphina hurriedly forced a smile.

"What a coincidence... never thought we’d become neighbors."

After speaking, she quickly averted her eyes.

Currently in heat, her body was extraordinarily sensitive, her emotions more prone to losing control than usual.

Just now as her gaze skimmed over Albert’s tail, a familiar itch surged through her fingertips.

This impulse came unexpectedly, making her heart tremble.

She knew very well it was the natural attraction to the powerful male aura during her heat.

But that made it all the more dangerous.

Because the man before her was not her Beast Husband.

She worried that once she lost control, any inappropriate action towards a male not belonging to her would not only be embarrassing but could also provoke Wyatt.

Before Albert could speak, Wyatt stepped out from inside with a frosty expression.

He quickly walked over and pulled Seraphina into his embrace.

His arm circled tightly around her waist, shielding her entirely in front of his chest as if declaring sovereignty.

"I heard..."

Wyatt spoke calmly.

"The only Blue Rank male in the Elephant Clan is already designated as the next Clan Leader."

"Why suddenly leave the homeland, come running to settle in The Beast Realm? Could it be you couldn’t stay there anymore, forced to find another path?"

Facing this blatant provocation, Albert remained unfazed.

"These are just rumors circulated among outsiders, can’t be taken seriously."

He lightly shook his head.

"I never considered being any clan leader. The Beast Realm offers more opportunities, rich resources, life is much more convenient than in the tribe. There’s no harm in seeing the outside world and gaining knowledge."

Saying so, his gaze swept over Wyatt’s hand around Seraphina’s waist.

A moment later, he retracted his sight.

"Convenient?"

Wyatt sneered.

He narrowed his eyes, holding Seraphina even tighter.

"You’d better behave, don’t entertain improper thoughts."

"Otherwise, you’d end up like Silas."

Albert still maintained a light and breezy demeanor.

He spread his hands.

"Why are you so angry? Since we’re neighbors now, living peacefully, helping each other out would be better, wouldn’t it? Why the hostility?"

He paused, his gaze once again falling on Seraphina.

Afterward, he gently nodded before turning to the new house beside them he’d just moved into.

"I won’t disturb you."

"In the future, if there’s a chance, let’s meet up more."

As his words faded, Wyatt suddenly kicked the door fiercely, the heavy wooden door banged against the door frame.

Seraphina was startled by the sudden sound of the door closing.

She had just let out a sigh of relief, only to find herself held tighter by Wyatt, nearly immobilized.

She raised her head, cautiously asking.

"What is it? Did Albert make you unhappy?"

Wyatt didn’t respond immediately.

After a moment, he slowly spoke.

"I was thinking... who could have informed Silas of the news of leaving the Elephant Clan."

He raised his hand, fingertips gently caressing her flushed cheek.

"When we decided to leave the Elephant Clan, we initially planned to visit the nearby Tiger Clan tribe to see your father."

"Very few knew about this plan. Only the Elephant Clan Leader and Albert you met that day."

Seraphina was stunned for a moment.

Thinking it over carefully, what he said made sense.

Indeed, she had run into Albert outside the Elephant Clan’s hall that day and exchanged a few words.

If someone had leaked information, Albert was indeed the most likely suspect.

But she still felt it was too rash to conclude Albert had betrayed them based solely on that point.

After all, there had been others present, and she couldn’t completely rule out other channels.

She was about to speak up for Albert.

But before the words left her mouth, her eyes unknowingly fell on Wyatt’s lips.

Memories of their past kisses suddenly surfaced in her mind.

"Seraphina?"

Wyatt, seeing her dazed eyes, furrowed his brows, assuming she felt unwell again.

"Are you feeling feverish again? Is your body temperature rising? I’ll call Evan over right now to help relieve your discomfort."

Seraphina hurriedly grabbed his hand.

"No, don’t go! I’m fine... I just... didn’t quite catch what you said."

Wyatt looked at her slightly reddened eyes.

How could he not understand?

The heat was making her restless again,

He sighed softly, hugging her a little tighter, pressing her against his chest.

"Listen, when you hear knocking, don’t open it yourself."

"Right now, your emotions are volatile, be wary of strange males. Even if they seem harmless, remember, in your current state, it’s easy to be led astray, even be taken advantage of."

Seraphina replied with a soft "mm," keeping her head low, not daring to meet his eyes.

Yet her gaze involuntarily lingered on his Adam’s apple.

Her fingers crept up slowly, only an inch away from it.

But in the last moment, reason snapped back, forcing her to pull her hand back.

Now even more afraid to lift her head, her eyes were glued to the ground beneath her feet.

Wyatt wasn’t very comfortable either, the suppressed feeling was no less intense for him.

He watched her flushed face, his Adam’s apple bobbing once.

"Seraphina, you don’t have to hold back like this. I am your Beast Husband; our bloodlines are linked, our auras aligned, we can complete the bonding anytime. I will be very gentle, won’t let you feel pain."

Seraphina kept her head down, but she could feel his burning gaze.

She had thought about the bonding.

But she dared not risk it.

Kaelan had almost taken her life that time.

Though he didn’t wield the knife himself, his passive stance nearly had her torn apart by beasts.

Once bonded, there was no turning back.

The kind of binding was etched into bone and blood.

Even if they removed the Beast Seal from their bodies, skin and flesh may heal, marks may hide.

But the resonance of souls would never fade.

The only way was to erase the seal completely from her.

And to do that, it must be endured by her alive, or, at the cost of death by the other.
