The Villainess Wants a Divorce:Beast Husbands Regret It to Tears-Chapter 168: Bewitched

No matter what, she must find her father.

She can’t let him bear such pain alone.

She has to find him, even if it means scouring the entire forest to bring him back.

As long as she finds her mother, perhaps she’ll know where her father went!

Because only her mother would know best where her father would go to find her.

However, her mother’s whereabouts remain a mystery, without even a name left behind.

But at least there is now a clue.

The fox mark is the key to the truth.

Judging from the Beast Seal, the mother should be a female from the Fox Clan.

The Fox Clan has always been mysterious, with no fixed abode, rarely intermarrying with other tribes.

If she could find traces of the Fox Clan, perhaps she could follow the clues to find the truth.

And within the entire wilderness, the only one likely to have information about the Fox Clan is The Beast King, Ian Brighton.

After all, his consort, Elara, is from the Fox Clan, with a distinguished background.

Seraphina Caldwell’s mind was occupied with finding her mother, unable to sit still.

Her thoughts were in turmoil, the idea revolving in her mind repeatedly.

She must act quickly, she can’t wait any longer.

She flung open the beast skin curtain blocking the door and turned to find Wyatt Yardley.

Hoping to ask if Ian could help inquire about her mother’s whereabouts.

Though Ian is from the Elephant Clan, his esteemed status and extensive connections might yield some clues from the elders of other tribes.

But in her haste, after just a few steps, her vision suddenly went black as she collided headfirst with someone coming in.

The person was tall, and she couldn’t stop in time. Her forehead banged against his solid chest with a thud.

The pain made her stagger back a step, rubbing her head with her hand.

Seraphina was already in her mating season, restless and uneasy inside, her body burning with anxiety.

With the collision.

Her body reacted faster than her mind, her hands instinctively wrapping tightly around his waist.

His chest pressed down on the fire within her.

The momentary comfort made her unwilling to move away, only wanting to stay holding on like this.

Kaelan Hawthorne stood there stunned.

His hand hung in the air, originally intending to push away, but hesitated and didn’t fall.

His gray-green eyes were wide open, full of shock.

This was the first time Seraphina had actively embraced him.

Not accidentally bumping, but truly throwing herself into his arms, wrapping him tightly.

Seraphina suddenly came to her senses, only then realizing she was pressed tightly against Kaelan.

Her cheeks blazed with heat.

She pushed him away, quickly stepping back a few paces.

Kaelan was clearly unprepared, his body tilting, tumbling backward heavily onto the beast skin-covered bed.

"I’m sorry! I..."

Seraphina hurried forward to help him up, her face still burning fiercely.

But she stopped midway.

Kaelan supported himself with one hand, revealing the swirls at the top of his head.

Just then, a pair of fox ears emerged from his hair.

The ears twitched slightly.

Now, it wasn’t just the ears twitching, Seraphina’s heart trembled too.

She stared at the ears, her gaze unable to move away.

Kaelan’s face turned a shade of red, the pink at the tips of his ears deepening.

His gaze was a bit chaotic, avoiding looking directly at Seraphina, yet he forced a smile.

"It’s okay, really."

"If you like being a little overbearing, that’s fine too..."

A fluffy red fox tail quietly poked out from behind him.

The tail was long and soft, slowly wrapping around his legs, then the tip hooked around Seraphina’s calf.

The soft touch, with its warmth, drew Seraphina’s full attention.

Kaelan was already alluring, his features handsome with a touch of enchantment.

Now with the ears and tail, his eyes appeared even gentler.

To Seraphina, who was in a sensitive period, it was simply irresistible.

Like being enchanted, she involuntarily took two steps forward.

Her fingers slightly trembling, the tips tentatively touching the fox ears.

The fox ears quivered softly, and in that moment, Kaelan’s hands also started to tremble.

Before Seraphina could withdraw her hand, Kaelan suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist.

He was already supporting himself with one hand.

As his arm weakened, he could no longer support himself, falling backward with force.

And as he pulled Seraphina with him, she was dragged onto the beast skin bed, falling heavily into his embrace.

"Um..."

Seraphina cried out in surprise, her body suddenly losing weight in mid-air.

She hadn’t had time to react when her lips unexpectedly collided with Kaelan’s lips.

Kaelan’s body stiffened at that instant.

Then, with his free hand, he suddenly grabbed the back of her head.

Seraphina shuddered all over, her cheeks blazing, fingertips tingling.

She wanted to push him away, but as she raised her arm, it suddenly lost strength.

Instead, instinctively, she gently wrapped her soft arm around his neck.

Her mind was blank.

The thoughts of questioning, of pushing away, had long vanished.

Kaelan’s kiss was too soft.

What further confused and disoriented her was the pair of furry fox ears rubbing against her palm, again and again.

Seraphina’s fingers remained on his soft fox ears.

Her mind was already blurred, unable to distinguish reality from dream, knowing only the instinctive desire to be closer to him.

The unique heat of the mating season surged into her heart in waves.

The unease made her whole body hot, her heart frantic.

In such a state, Kaelan’s hand quietly reached for the string of her beast skin clothing.

Yet she was completely unaware.

Not only did she not stop him, but instead, she involuntarily leaned closer into his embrace.

Suddenly, a loud bang, as the curtain was abruptly pulled open.

Then, Gideon Larkin’s shout exploded.

"Kaelan! Did you use an Illusion Technique on her?"

Seraphina snapped awake.

She raised her head, looking sharply toward the door.

Gideon was rushing over, his eyes red.

The next second, he punched Kaelan hard on the shoulder, with such force that Kaelan grunted.

His body, already in an unstable state, was knocked staggering backward, tumbling off the bed.

The pair of fox ears pressed tightly against his head, the tail withdrawing instinctively.

Yet Gideon was relentless, rushing forward to kick him hard twice more.

"Do you remember how you used to despise her? Back when she was ostracized by the clan, isolated by everyone, did you ever speak a word in her defense? Now you’re using your Fox Clan mind-bending tricks to charm her! Hypocrite!"

"Stop it! Gideon!"

Seraphina couldn’t care less about properly dressing, hurriedly crawling off the bed.

She grabbed hold of Gideon’s arm poised to strike Kaelan.

"He didn’t deceive me, it was... it was me who went to him. I wasn’t controlled by an Illusion Technique, I did it willingly!"

Gideon was taken aback, glaring at her face.

He slowly turned his head, staring at her blankly.

"Seraphina..."

"Why are you speaking for him? Don’t you know how he treated you before... You defied the clan rules for him, but he never said a word to defend you... He’s not worth you doing this!"

Before he could finish, Kaelan, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly spoke up.

"My feelings for her are no less than anyone else’s. Why can’t I?"

He braced himself against the ground, slowly standing up.

His fox ears and tail had already withdrawn into his body, returning to human form.

He stood there in the dim firelight, his gray-green eyes staring straight at Seraphina.
