Eclipse of the Heart: The Alpha’s Forbidden Mate

Chapter 20: Chapter 21: Finding the Culprit



Everyone stared intently at the two equally ferocious wolves. Suddenly, the blood-red eyes of one of them lost their bloodlust and were replaced with contempt for its opponent. Then, it lowered its head and rammed into the other wolf, sending it staggering. At that critical moment, it leaped and tore at the other wolf's throat.

Awooo. Awooo. Painful, hoarse howls startled countless birds perched in the surrounding trees.

The rustling sound was like a celebration of absolute victory.

Finally, the fallen wolf slowly began to twitch and then stopped moving, silently ceasing its struggle.

When everything was over, Li Ge stepped forward a few steps. The 'Dust' clansmen behind her swarmed forward, each stretching their necks to look at the ground.

Just as everyone was lost in thought, the wolf, as if it didn't care about what was happening, suddenly darted into the grass beside them. The next moment, a scream pierced the sky.

"Ah!"

Following the sound, they saw the wolf king pressing a person down, its fangs deeply inserted into the person's shoulder. Only by looking closely could they see the man's pale face and the blood gushing from his shoulder.

"Huai Lin?" Wulun's uncertain voice rang out a moment later.

The man was too weak to speak and just nodded repeatedly, his eyes pleadingly looking at Wulun.

Wulun didn't have the ability to stop the wolf king, so he carefully looked at Li Ge. "Young lady, Huai Lin is an elder who left the clan twenty years ago. He is one of the four great elders of 'Dust' along with Huai Shan, Huai Wu, and Huai Chen. He must have brought good news back, so please help him."

Wulun nervously rubbed his hands and kept looking at the wolf king who hadn't released its grip.

Li Ge didn't care who the four elders were. However, anyone who framed Mo couldn't be let go. He wasn't dead yet, so Li Ge said, "Mo, this person is still useful."

Hearing this, the wolf king tightened its grip on the arm in its mouth. The man let out a sky-shattering roar before passing out. Disgustedly, the wolf king tossed the severed arm and glanced at Li Ge before leaving on its own.

Li Ge was puzzled. Looking at its eyes, she felt Mo was angry. She couldn't figure it out. But after spending so much time with Mo, she had summarized one rule: she had to stick with him, even if she had to force herself.

Actually, the wolf in front of him wasn't much better. He didn't know why, but he didn't recognize this woman. Yet, he always felt an irresistible subconsciousness towards her. He usually did whatever he wanted, but every time he met her, he failed. And he seemed to have gotten used to her being by his side.

Huai Lin regained consciousness from the pain. Before he could open his eyes, he felt his right arm numb. He had to open his eyes and saw blurry figures in front of the window. Before he could fully wake up, a voice he hadn't heard in twenty years rang out, "Huai Lin, did you find him?"

Hearing this, he fully woke up and realized everything that had happened before he passed out. He looked at his arm in disbelief. Sure enough, it was empty. Huai Lin's head exploded. He glared at Wulun, gritting his teeth and asking, "Where is that wolf?"

He wanted to avenge the fact that the damned wolf had bitten his arm without any preparation. He swore he wouldn't rest until he did.

Wulun didn't know what Huai Lin was thinking. Seeing his hateful expression, Wulun advised, "Huai Lin, it's the wolf king. It has the power of life and death. You shouldn't pursue it. Just rest here."

"Impossible!"

"What's impossible? I think you're delusional even at the end of your life!" Huai Lin had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by a delicate voice.

Li Ge and the wolf king came side by side. The warm sunlight shone on the man and wolf at the door, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

"Young lady, what do you mean?"

Wulun wasn't stupid. He had carefully thought about everything last night. Although he didn't believe it, his doubts grew stronger. So, he came early this morning to see if Huai Lin had woken up.

"That's for you to ask this elder." Li Ge finished speaking and moved forward, quickly pinching Huai Lin's throat.

Anyone who tried to frame Mo wouldn't be spared. She didn't know the internal energy of this place, but her master had taught her many self-defense skills, which were more than enough to kill this old man. She asked in a cold voice, "Quickly say, who sent you to frame Mo?"

Huai Lin didn't know who Mo was. He flushed and looked at Wulun for help.

Wulun quickly explained, "It's our wolf king."

Hearing this, a strange smile appeared on Huai Lin's face. Li Ge saw it and smiled strangely, making Wulun shiver and get goosebumps all over his body.

Li Ge didn't care about other people's expressions. She shouted towards the door, "Xiao Hei, did you find it?"

Chirp, chirp, Xiao Hei's excited voice answered her. At the same time, a small figure jumped onto Li Ge's body, rubbing affectionately against her chest and gesturing with its paws.

Patting Xiao Hei's head, Li Ge said, "Good job. I'll give you something delicious later. Now let them come in."

Xiao Hei nodded and chirped, a sound different from usual. As Xiao Hei's voice fell, several people heard a buzzing sound coming from afar. Then, a large swarm of black butterflies flew into the house, startling Wulun, who fell off the stool with a thud.

He was trembling with fear. These things were very familiar to him, as they were the notorious and poisonous alluring butterflies. These butterflies were not small, the largest being as big as his palm, with enchanting colors. They looked like beautiful women dancing in the air, which was very attractive. But as the saying goes, the more beautiful things are, the more poisonous they are. These alluring butterflies were the best proof of this. The people of their clan always hid whenever they saw these butterflies.

Just like now, Wulun was shocked and watched as the butterflies swarmed into the house, covering Huai Lin's body, making him look like a beautiful mummy. But the constant shaking and occasional whimpers ruined all the beauty.

Li Ge seemed to enjoy Huai Lin's fear. She explained calmly, "Alluring butterflies, they are poisonous and like blood. Once they target someone, they will suck until they are full."

Li Ge licked her lips, which intensified Huai Lin's trembling. He whimpered, "Save me, save me. I'll say…"
