All Chapters of The Beast's Ugly Wife: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

The streets of the Nightmoor pack were completely empty and silent, which was normal at four in the morning. I thought that would guarantee a peaceful walk to the temple, but apparently not. The she-wolf spent the entire way jumping from one side to the other, forcing me to sneak through the shadows, as if we were fleeing from something invisible.Well, not entirely invisible. Twice, I had to hide in one of the alleys between the houses, my heart skipping a beat when the guards who seemed to be patrolling the streets passed by us. One of them even stopped to sniff the air for a moment, suspicious, but apparently my wolf friend had a scent almost as faint as mine, because he seemed to drop it the moment his colleague called him, so they could continue their walk.“Could you slow down a little?” I murmured, as she darted toward another cluster of shad

Only one candle remained unlit after Wayne had violently closed the trapdoor, leaving only a faint light in that place, especially since I was still lying on the floor of what they called the chamber.Sniffling, I squirmed until I finally managed to sit up, my back hitting the side wall of the chamber a few times. My arms and wrists ached almost unbearably where Wayne had held me, and having my hands pinned behind my back like that was only making things worse. Tears began to well up, and, able to hear only my own heavy breathing within those walls, I stared at the small candle near the ceiling, since it was the only thing I could really see in there.I jumped when what seemed to be a tongue slid across the part of my ankles that wasn't fastened. It was only then that I realized that, amidst all the confusion, the she-wolf had managed to remain hidden behind th

“You don’t know how much I’ve wished I could really talk to you all these months… And now, finally… Oh, Holly.” This time, she really started to cry, her arms wrapping around my chest and pulling me into a tight hug “Oh, my baby. I’m so, so sorry. You had to endure so much alone… I should have been able to protect you better…”“I… I don’t understand,” I murmured, for a second beginning to wonder if I was trapped in a dream, the longest one yet “You… I mean, that little one… I mean, she was clearly in service to the Goddess and was very intelligent, but... She was just a wolf. How could she…? I mean, how could you be one of us?” I asked, but the way her cry and the she-wolf’s wail sounded alike was unsettling me “Why didn't you try to explain this to me? Not with words,

“Oh, Goddess…” Elowyn whimpered, breathless, when they finally parted “I prayed so much to be able to feel your kiss again… I love you so much…”“Elowyn…!” Garrett pressed their foreheads together, staring at her as if she were about to disappear. “How… How is this possible? I searched for you everywhere… And those bodies… The woman smelled of you… Even the smell of your blood…” he lamented “Please, tell me this isn’t just an illusion. I can’t bear to lose you again…”“They cornered me.” she cried “I don’t think they ever meant to attack the pack. They wanted to take you away from us. They knew I wouldn’t use a dangerous spell while Estelle was with me.” Elowyn’s voice broke &ldqu

Oh, Goddess. I missed that face so, so much. That impatient frown, the way his lips would purse when he was about to scold me.Him.I missed him completely, as if half of me was missing."Swear!" he said through gritted teeth, but not angrily.He seemed… Distressed. Fear wasn't a word I was used to using when it came to Noah, but… that's how he seemed at that moment. Fearful and tormented, as if he had been tortured.“Tell me!” he insisted, one of his hands molding my face, while that look on his face made my heart ache; Why did he seem to be suffering? Who had hurt him? “Promise you’ll never run away again. Promise you’ll never abandon me again.” His voice was even deeper than usual, his intonation making it sound like he was begging, not ordering.Part of me knew something was wrong. There was a reason why I couldn't promise him that. Something between us, separating us. But, at that moment
