My Nine-Tailed Husband

The Beast King had made an agreement with the humans—every so often, they'd send a group of beastmen, each with different skills, for the humans to choose from as servants.In my last life, I had carefully picked a tiger beastman. But when my brother threw me into the Beast Den, that tiger didn't even try to save me. He just stood by and watched me die, all because I was a half-beast born of a beast and a human, a disgrace in his eyes.He told me I wasn't worthy to be his master. I didn't realize it then, but the one he'd always wanted to protect was my half-sister, Maisie Roffe.And now here I was, back on the day we were choosing our beast servants."Come on, Claudia. Hurry up and pick one!"Maisie's sugary voice was sharp as a needle in my ear.I shut my eyes for a second and forced those bloody memories out of my mind."What's the rush? Choosing a beast servant is serious business. You can't just do it on a whim," I replied coldly, my eyes scanning the line of beastmen in fr

Ten days later, they finally let me out, and I noticed right away that Dusty was gone.I searched the entire courtyard, calling out for him, but there was no sign of him anywhere. He never wandered off on his own.A sinking feeling settled in my chest. Something was wrong.Then, behind a rock formation, I spotted a small gray figure."Dusty!"He was lying on the ground, covered in wounds and barely breathing. His body felt cold to the touch. I tried pouring my spiritual energy into him, desperate to save him, but it was like trying to fill a bottomless pit.No matter how hard I tried, it didn't work.Dusty died in my arms. His little body stiffened slowly as the warmth faded away.I buried him under the magnolia tree in the yard, the spot where he used to love playing the most.I closed my eyes, and memories came flooding back—Dusty curled up in my lap, warming my feet… The way he would turn his head in a huff when he got mad…The pain in my chest felt like something had be

Boom!With just a wave of the man's hand, an invisible force knocked the executioner and his giant blade flat onto the ground.The man in white slowly descended in front of me. He reached out with his long, slender fingers and gently tapped the center of my forehead. Instantly, a warm current surged through my body."Are you okay?"He lowered his head, looking at me. His voice was so soft, it felt like a spring breeze brushing past my ears.I stared blankly, then gave a small nod."Who the hell are you? Get out right now!" Maisie's shrill voice snapped me back to reality.The man ignored her and turned to look at the Roffe patriarch instead. His tone was cold. "You don't deserve to know my name."The patriarch trembled all over, his lips moving in a whisper. "He's got a white light surrounding his body, and such overwhelming power... Could he be…""Hmph."With a snort, the man's aura exploded. The pressure alone crushed the patriarch to his knees."I saw everything that happ

By the time I woke up, it was already the third day.Kaelen gently picked me up and started dressing me, then did my hair. I looked in the mirror and noticed the woman staring back at me had a soft, radiant glow, as if she'd been completely transformed.Kaelen cupped my face like it was the most precious thing in the world, and kissed my forehead softly."I promise I'll get back everything that belongs to you."Once everything was in order, Kaelen called for his mount and flew me straight toward the Roffes. From a distance, I could already see a group of people waiting outside the Roffes' gates.One of the elders stepped forward to greet us."I'm sorry we didn't recognize you at first, Mr. Deep. Please forgive us. We got you these as an apology."I followed his gaze. Off to the side was a whole pile of extravagant gifts—luxuries I normally wouldn't even have a chance to see, let alone use.They'd even brought along a few seductive, curvy beast servants, who were shamelessly bat

The Beast King and his beastmen showed up at our door, demanding me to surrender, right when Kaelen was all over me, begging for hugs and kisses.And just like that, we got interrupted."Claudia! Come out and surrender right now, and maybe I'll consider going easy on you. If you don't, you should know that my beastmen haven't touched a woman in ages!"Right after that, loud laughter and howls erupted outside.I could feel Kaelen freeze next to me. The air around him grew heavy.He was pissed.Without saying a word, he stood up and threw on his robe. After giving me a quick kiss on the lips, he flew right out the door.What followed was the sound of things breaking and people screaming for mercy."I'm sorry! I didn't know you were inside!"Peeking through the crack in the door, I saw the Beast King, who had been intimidating moments ago, now grovelling in front of Kaelen, his posture as humble as could be.All around him, the other beastmen were lying on the floor, groaning in
