Lahat ng Kabanata ng Seven Dark Husbands at the Beast God’s Command: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Clar’s hands trembled as she placed her palms on Mabel’s chest, desperately pushing out any remaining water from her lungs. Every movement was critical. She had learned CPR in her past life, but the stress of the situation made every second feel like an eternity. The murmur of the crowd behind her, the accusatory whispers, only added to the weight pressing on her shoulders.I can’t mess this up. I can’t fail now.“Please, Mabel. Stay with me,” she whispered, her voice shaking despite her best efforts to sound calm. She had no room for fear now.For what seemed like an eternity, there was nothing but silence. The river’s sound drowned out the beating of her heart. Her fingers moved rapidly, pumping her chest with urgency, as she tried to force the life back into the Shaman’s daughter. The weight of every eye on her was unbearable, but she couldn’t let it affect her. She was doing the right thing. She had to prove it.Finally, a faint cough—weak, but there.Mabel’s eyes fluttered open,

The moment Clar finished her yoga routine, darkness swam before her eyes.Her body tipped backward——but she didn’t hit the ground.A steady hand caught her shoulder, and in the next second, she was lifted into someone’s arms.Warm strength tightened around her waist.“…?”Clar froze.The touch at her waist felt like a spark landing on dry grass, racing up her spine and burning all the way to the tips of her ears.She had never been carried bridal-style before.Her arm pressed against Alex’s firm chest—solid, elastic, warm.Her brain short-circuited.Wait.Why does this feel… kind of addictive?No, no!I am not a pervert!I just… have never been this close to a handsome guy before!“Alex, put me down!” she panicked, squirming. “Didn’t your leg just recover? What are you doing carrying me? What if you injure it again?!”The more she spoke, the more nervous she became.Is he going to drop me on purpose?I’ve been behaving so well lately…Alex’s throat bobbed.Looking at the flushed, flu

After burying Black Panther together, Clar and Mabel returned to the cave.Clar’s heart felt hollow.If I dissolve the mate bond…If I stay far away from them…If they never see me again…Then maybe… they won’t want to kill me.Back in the cave, Clar grabbed Mabel’s hand urgently.“Mabel, your mother is Shaman Healer. She must know how to dissolve a mate bond, right?”“I’ve thought it through. Luna and Lucas… I forced those bonds myself. None of us are happy living like this.”Mabel stared at her in shock at first.But slowly, she understood.Clar really had never properly treated her mates well before.After a pause, Mabel spoke gently.“Clar… do you truly want to dissolve it?”“Legend says only the Beast God himself—or the Mate-Breaking Flower that grows in the Dark Forest—can undo a bond.”“But that flower is extremely dangerous. No one seeks it unless there’s no other choice.”At that exact moment—Footsteps.Cold.Measured.Luna stepped into the cave.He had just returned from hu

“Clar, you’re exhausted.”Lucas’s heart was ablaze—not just because Clar had redeemed herself in his eyes, but because the Clar he remembered had been possessed by her pride and cruelty, far from the compassionate, vulnerable person she had become. He could barely recognize her now, and that realization both confused and fascinated him.“Have I really lost weight?” Clar focused on herself in the reflection of the cave walls, a faint blush creeping across her cheeks.So glad the weight-loss plan is working, Clar thought with a smile.If I could hold it together, maybe I’ll finally feel better about myself. Her mind raced with new resolutions, and she caught herself admiring her progress for the first time in a long while.As she basked in her accomplishment, Lucas caught her eye and smiled.“Well, I must say, you’re looking good.”Clar froze.She didn’t realize just how much her appearance had changed—she’d been too focused on weight loss to notice the deeper transformation, not only i

Lucas carefully split the "Empty Tree" into several pieces and used his sharp beast claws to shape the hollow wood. In a matter of moments, a bath basin large enough to fit Clar’s body was completed, along with several small wooden bowls inside.Clar’s jaw almost dropped in surprise—she hadn’t expected the beastman's claws to be so effective. The wood felt smooth to the touch, with no sharpness at all. She was touched by how thoughtful Lucas was.“I didn’t know you were this skilled, Lucas!” Clar was so impressed, she started thinking of other items she could ask him to make. She had been sitting on the ground to eat for so long, it was becoming uncomfortable.“I was wondering if you could also make a table and a few chairs for me,” she asked, hoping Lucas could help."Of course, Clar. I’d love to make them for you," Lucas said, eager to see how the things she wanted would turn out.Clar smiled at his response, feeling hopeful. Life really could become a bit more comfortable, piece by
