《The Beast's Ugly Wife》全部章節：第 191 章 - 第 200 章

“Consort Arthur.” The young soldier guarding the dungeon door bowed as I stood before the cell door."Did they say anything?" I asked, observing the two silhouettes lying on the ground on the other side of the bars.“No. Not for our guards, and apparently not for the Nightmoor general either. My colleague in charge of the last shift said he seemed furious when he brought them back. They probably plan to continue the torture tomorrow.”“I see.” I nodded “You can go. My guards will take over from now on, after I finish my own interrogation. Just don’t forget that this must be kept secret.” I warned him, my gaze making him shudder “Alpha Kaia doesn’t want the Nightmoor to know that we’re investigating this on our own.”

“Oh.” Kent laughed, unperturbed “Don’t be so easily shaken, old friend. I was just thinking aloud. We don’t need all this rudeness, do we? We can still handle this like two gentlemen. After all, we have a common enemy who’s making things difficult for us, don’t we? And I’m not talking about your stepson.” He shrugged “My dear niece has been escaping death long enough. I think it’s time we settled this.”“Which of us is the incompetent one now?” I growled “You were 18 and didn’t even realize she was alive until recently. Now, she has her husband, her parents, and my wife to protect her. How do you plan to do that without exposing your precious identity? It’s never been more risky…”“That’s where you come in. Or has she become more powerf

“That…” Jean swallowed hard “It’s not so easy to forget that he’s a Nightmoor. We’ve learned to hate and fear them since we were pups. And you know I… I never really planned on having a mate.” She shrank back in her chair, surprising me by bringing up a subject that used to be a secret between us “I saw how my father practically lost the will to live after my mother died. I didn’t want the same for myself. What’s the point of finding someone to love and dreaming of spending the rest of your life with that person, only to…”“Just to be left alone and miserable afterwards?” Wayne finished, making Jean stare at him, shocked “Is that what you’re afraid of? Well, I know that feeling all too well. Knowing that you’re the only reason your father keeps trying to live after your mother left. Now, imagine having to watch him act like a zombie, worrying not only about you but about a whole pack.” My brother smiled, but I could hear the hidden pain there “Finding my mate wasn’t exactly an appealin

"You're pregnant?!" I gasped so hard my words sounded almost distorted "Like, really...?"“No one knows yet, except your father. He realized it before I did, actually. I'd already forgotten what it felt like.” my mother murmured, putting her finger to her lips, though surely some of her trusted guards had heard, so close were they to us “We’ll keep it a secret from the rest of the pack for a while, at least until the peace agreement is formalized. Well, of course, now that you know, your brother will be next.”“Oh my! I can’t believe it!” I stood up before I knew what I was doing, wrapping her in a tight hug “This is amazing, Mom! I’m so happy for you and Dad! A baby! Oh, sorry, I shouldn’t be holding you like this, should I? It might hurt my sibling.” I let go of her, my excitement still b

“Garrett!” I heard Alfred shout as the first one attacked, his fangs poised to reach my father’s neck, before he raised his sword, managing to deflect it at the last second.Fortunately, Louis and his father were far enough away, near the door, to appear to have breathed in that mist. However, all the other warriors who were there with us didn't seem to have been so lucky. If before we were in the safest room of all, now my parents and I were surrounded by almost demonic wolves, whose distorted growls sounded almost like screams.“Stay behind me, Holly!” my mother said, and a second later, the two wolves that were about to attack my father slammed into the air, as if an invisible wall had formed between us.“Fuck!” Alfred and Louis rushed toward us, their swords drawn, but my heart clenched when I saw them brandish their blades against those wolves.Not only because those were warriors close to my parents, their own friends transformed into those monsters. But also because the wounds
