Eclipse of the Heart: The Alpha’s Forbidden Mate

Although they had only known each other for a few days, Ling Mo had completely understood Li Ge's simple personality. She wasn't good at lying, which meant that if she said there was a country as she described, there might indeed be one that he didn't know about on this Tianhe Continent.

Knowing his suspicion, Li Ge didn't have more evidence to prove what she said. These days, she even doubted whether the first twenty years of her life had been just a dream, that it hadn't existed at all. However, her master, who treated her like a daughter, and the spirit mink by her feet, all proved the fact that she had been reborn in this strange era.

Seeing Ling Mo's thoughtful expression, Li Ge's heart sank. She didn't know why, but when she saw that Ling Mo hadn't nodded, her heart ached. So, she anxiously explained, "I'm telling the truth. I don't know why I appeared here either. A few days ago, I was bitten to death by a brown bear, but when I woke up, I was here, and I didn't have any injuries. And Xiao Hei came with me too. You have to believe me, I, I didn't lie to you."

Hearing Li Ge's words, Ling Mo's face darkened. On the one hand, he remembered the night he encountered the brown bear and finally recalled the hateful look in the bear's eyes when it saw the little thing. If he had known it had once bitten him, he wouldn't have let it die so easily.

On the other hand, and more importantly, he was worried.

He had always been cold and indifferent. Nothing in the world could stir his emotions. He was also a person without joy or sorrow. No matter how big the happiness or how cruel the hardship, it didn't make much difference to him. So, he had never been anxious. Just now, being betrayed by those so-called 'family members' and turned into this half-human, half-beast form, Ling Mo didn't feel resentment or extreme anger.

But since he realized his feelings, Ling Mo knew that he could have emotions. Thinking that the little thing had come without any reason, would she leave without any reason too? A storm raged in Ling Mo's green eyes. Whoever it was, even a ghost, wouldn't be allowed to take her away from him.

Chirp, chirp, Ling Mo, immersed in his thoughts, was startled by a series of chirps from the spirit mink. His cold eyes became even colder as he looked at the damn little mink, but saw it pointing at Li Ge.

Following the spirit mink's paw, Ling Mo saw tears streaming down Li Ge's beautiful and pale face. She looked at him with grievance, and when he regained his senses, the tears flowed even more fiercely.

Li Ge didn't know why she felt aggrieved when she looked at Ling Mo's cold appearance, and she couldn't control her tears. She hadn't been like this before. Even a few days ago, when he had wanted to kill her, she hadn't felt any fear or grievance.

The coldness in Ling Mo's eyes disappeared the moment he saw Li Ge's tears. He sighed and knew he had scared her with his cold face. He gently wiped her tears and said softly, "I believe you."

He held Li Ge gently in his arms and looked at the boundless horizon, vowing in his heart that even if it was against the will of heaven, he would definitely fight against it.

Ling Mo's affirmative words made Li Ge break into a smile. Her delicate face was as beautiful as a spring flower and as enchanting as an autumn moon.

"Is your body better now?" Ling Mo smiled, looking at her lovely appearance, and asked.

Li Ge nodded.

"Then we'll leave today."

"Where are we going?" This was what Li Ge had always wanted to know, but she always forgot to ask.

Li Ge's question deepened Ling Mo's eyes. After a long time, he replied, "We're going to the deepest part of the forest to find a tribe called 'Dust.'"

"To find that tribe?"

She had asked Ling Mo when he first met him, and he had been alone, so he must have had an important reason to venture into this forest that no one had ever set foot in. Now that their relationship had become closer, it was natural for her to know the reason.

Caressing Li Ge's back, Ling Mo's eyes were distant. He said without any emotion, "I was originally the third prince of Chaofeng, and I was sealed as the Azure Wing King at the age of seventeen, guarding the border of Chaofeng. Just a month ago, the Emperor of Chaofeng summoned me back to the capital. At the dust-settling banquet, my two 'brothers' poisoned me with a curse. Only someone in a tribe called 'Dust' in this forest can lift the curse."

"Is that what's making you turn into a wolf at night?" Li Ge was smart enough to guess this.

Ling Mo nodded.

Having suffered so much, not only physically but also mentally, Ling Mo was still indifferent. But he was still sad. Li Ge understood the feeling of being betrayed by her family. She felt a pang of heartache and thought that from now on, she would be Mo's family, so they wouldn't be alone. Li Ge was overjoyed at her thought and said sweetly, "Then let's go now."

Ling Mo nodded, got up, took Li Ge's hand, and the two left silently. The spirit mink, who was already used to their sweet scene, dropped the wild fruit in its paws and chirped, watching the two walk away together.

Ahead, as they walked, Li Ge suddenly thought of something and asked anxiously, "That day, those who came to kill you were your…?"

People who could kill their own family weren't considered family, so Li Ge didn't know how to address them.

Ling Mo nodded. "In the capital, they wouldn't dare to openly assassinate me, and besides, they simply aren't capable of killing me."

Ling Mo's answer didn't ease Li Ge's brows. It was okay during the day, but if they came at night, when he transformed into a wolf, he wouldn't have the same martial arts skills as during the day. He would just be a strong wolf. If those people came then, the consequences would be disastrous. Thinking of this, Li Ge pulled Ling Mo's hand and quickened her pace.

Ling Mo understood her worry and felt a surge of joy as he looked at the small head in front of him. He wouldn't tell her that he still had a way to protect her even at night.

Night fell as promised. Tonight, the moon seemed a little shy, hiding behind the clouds. It was pitch black, and you couldn't see your fingers. Li Ge worriedly looked at Ling Mo, who was panting as he transformed.

Although he no longer howled as much as before, Li Ge was still heartbroken. She hugged Ling Mo tightly, feeling his body being rebuilt again and again, and gently stroked his back.

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. It'll be over soon." Li Ge comforted Ling Mo in the same way her master used to comfort her.

Finally, the pale green eyes turned into a glowing emerald green. Li Ge knew it was over. She hugged the wolf's neck and rested her head on its neck, shaking it affectionately. Awoof… awoof…

The atmosphere was just right when a tiger's roar, which Li Ge was familiar with, came.

She was startled. They had been in the cave for the past few nights, and the fire they lit kept the surrounding beasts away, and there hadn't even been a sound. This made her forget that this was a primitive forest, the home of wild beasts.
