The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 209 - 198: Fear (Part 2)

How do I feed these little things?

"Will they bite people?"

She instinctively shrank back, distancing herself from the three little cubs.

The thought of nursing was something she found hard to accept.

They’re not babies, after all.

If they were babies, she wouldn’t be so resistant.

Corbin Crowley noticed her reaction, his expression slightly frowned, feeling strange.

As a Matron, afraid of her own offspring? Isn’t that ridiculous?

His silver eyes darkened, and he grabbed her leg that was retreating, his deep voice laced with danger, "It’s your blood flowing through them, and you don’t dare to feed your own offspring?"

The three little wolf cubs smelled their mother’s scent and stumbled toward her, pink paws tearing at the thin Beast Skin Skirt, about to latch on to nurse.

Luna Sutton gasped, memories of being bitten by zombies in the apocalypse flashed through her mind.

She abruptly flung the cubs away and retreated frantically, her voice trembling: "Don’t come near, I... I have no milk yet."

Corbin Crowley’s silver eyes suddenly turned icy, clutching her kicking ankle, "You’re lying."

When his palm felt her cold, trembling skin, his tone grew more dangerous, "After a female wolf gives birth to offspring, she will naturally have milk, it’s a Beastman instinct."

The three little wolf cubs were thrown to the edge of the stone bed, letting out aggrieved whimpering sounds.

Rhys Blackwood’s snake tail suddenly swept over, curling the cubs into a safe area, his gaze resting on Luna Sutton’s pale face, his expression complex: "Are you afraid of them?"

Even he found such behavior baffling; how could a Matron fear her own cubs?

The cave fell into a momentary silence.

Corbin Crowley lifted the cubs with one hand and stuffed them into Luna Sutton’s arms, his tone was icy, "Afraid to touch what you gave birth to, are you giving birth just for fun?"

The cubs’ wet noses brushed against her collarbone, making her shudder all over.

She wasn’t rejecting them, she actually liked them.

How could she not like her own offspring?

She simply couldn’t accept nursing them.

Ultimately, she hadn’t fully adapted her mindset.

Deep down, she still considered herself human.

At that moment, a series of system warnings sounded in her mind: "Warning, warning, Corbin Crowley’s favorability -5, current favorability 83, Host behavior severely deviates from female instincts, Host should remember, you are no longer human, you are a female wolf, it’s a female wolf’s nature to nurture her offspring."

Luna Sutton clenched the beast skin in her hands, trembling. Every time she closed her eyes, her mind filled with the images of being bitten to near death by zombies during the apocalypse.

The thought of nursing three wolf cubs terrified her.

She didn’t even know what to do.

Rhys Blackwood quickly positioned his body between Corbin Crowley and Luna Sutton, speaking with complex emotions: "When hungry, cubs will bite. First-time nursing should have a male guarding."

Seeing her pale face and trembling all over, clearly frightened, his eyes flashed with empathy and concern, "Luna’s first time giving birth, perhaps she’s not quite used to it yet. Don’t pressure her too much, feed the cubs milk fruit first, it’s the same."

"Rhys Blackwood, move aside."

Corbin Crowley angrily pushed Rhys Blackwood away, pinching Luna Sutton’s chin, forcing her to look at him, his voice rasped frighteningly, "I’m not forcing you to nurse, the cubs won’t starve. What angers me is realizing you don’t like them at all, even fear them. Tell me why?"

When his fingertips touched the tears rolling down her cheeks, his grip suddenly froze, the anger deep in his silver eyes solidified.

Rhys Blackwood frowned, suddenly grabbing Corbin Crowley’s wrist, coldly stating: "You’re scaring her."

"I’m scaring her?"

Corbin Crowley laughed bitterly, pointing at the three wolf cubs gnawing the bed edge hungrily, "Look at them..."

The smallest white wolf cub suddenly darted to Luna Sutton’s feet, biting the beast skin skirt strap dangling down, trying to climb up to nurse.

She reflexively kicked, sending the cub "thudding" against the stone wall.

Realizing what she just did, panic filled her heart, she hurried to catch the three cubs she had flung away.

But Corbin Crowley held her wrist tight, his silver eyes fixedly staring at her, brewing an extremely terrifying storm within them.

The cave lapsed into a momentary silence.

"I... I didn’t do it on purpose!"

Luna Sutton’s eyes darted around, almost afraid to look into his eyes.

"So Luna wasn’t afraid."

Corbin Crowley’s voice became dangerously soft, "She was disgusted."

He gently lifted the three starving wolf cubs, his touch light, his expression was unprecedentedly cold, with deep pain hidden in his eyes.

He never dreamed Luna would be disgusted with their offspring.

In his eyes, they were the crystallization of love between two, to be adored, not abhorred.

System alarms blared in Luna Sutton’s mind: "Warning, warning, Host, Corbin Crowley favorability -10, current favorability 73. Rhys Blackwood favorability -3, current favorability 85. Please take immediate action."

"You misunderstood, I wasn’t disgusted by them..."

Luna Sutton frowned, her voice was very light as she tried to explain.

In this world, females could not transform, they could only maintain a human form.

Having three suckling wolf cubs hanging from her body, just thinking about it felt overwhelming.

The key issue was still overcoming an inner barrier.

Quickly thinking of a plan, she suddenly clutched her stomach and groaned, "It hurts..."

Corbin Crowley’s pupils contracted, his gaze landing on her pale face, the anger on his face replaced by panic.

He began shouting frantically: "Malachi Arcanus, witch doctor, quickly call the witch doctor..."

Rhys Blackwood instantly rushed over, his large hands encircling Luna Sutton’s waist, lifting her up, nervously asking: "Where does it hurt?"

Luna Sutton leaned against Rhys Blackwood’s chest, cold sweat soaking her back, without answering immediately, only feigning discomfort.

She could feel Corbin Crowley’s anger had dissipated significantly.

As she contemplated what to do next, the system’s voice emerged in her mind.

"Ding, emergency task triggered, please complete your first nursing in ten minutes, task reward: Corbin Crowley favorability +15, Rhys Blackwood favorability +10, and unlock Maternal Aura, permanent buff (50% increase in offspring closeness) Task failure results in Host reverting to hideous appearance when transmigrating into beast world, weighing 300 pounds, effect lasts three months."

Luna Sutton’s pupils contracted, reverting to a hideous appearance? Weighing 300 pounds?

That damn system is forcing her to confront her fear?
