Eclipse of the Heart: The Alpha’s Forbidden Mate

Chapter 24: Chapter 25: First Confrontation



Regardless of the thoughts of everyone behind them, their wolf king still walked leisurely, as if taking an elegant stroll in the rain. Although his wolf fur was wrinkled, it didn't affect his noble aura at all.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp…"

Li Ge had walked a long way before she faintly heard Xiao Hei's chirping. She suddenly remembered that Xiao Hei had been thrown to the ground by the wolf king, and she seemed to have caught a glimpse of Mo stepping on Xiao Hei with his foot. Was Xiao Hei still lying there?

"Mo, Xiao Hei is so pitiful." He looked so wronged.

Li Ge clearly heard the wolf king's almost human-like cold snort, but he stopped walking the next moment.

Finally, a small black shadow stumbled to the wolf king's feet. He looked at his owner and then measured the height with his eyes. Xiao Hei jumped, and then, with a plop, he fell freely, splashing a puddle of water. Xiao Hei struggled to get up, stood firm, and jumped again, but the result was still the same. The third time, it was still like that. Xiao Hei seemed to be at odds with this height, jumping again and again. Each time he just touched the wolf king's back, he inexplicably fell down. After several attempts, Xiao Hei's legs were trembling slightly. He pointed his small claws at the sky, meaning that if it hadn't been raining, he could have easily jumped up.

Seeing Xiao Hei's comical appearance, Li Ge couldn't help but laugh, hurting the little spirit mink's fragile heart.

"Pfft, hehe, Mo, even if Xiao Hei jumps until tomorrow morning, he won't be able to get up. Just have a little pity on him."

Although Xiao Hei was small, he was still a character that no one dared to provoke in this forest. Now, seeing his owner show no mercy and the people behind them laughing, Xiao Hei was furious.

Xiao Hei twisted his hips, planted his hind feet, raised his front feet, and made a teapot shape, chirping at the 'Dust' clan people behind him.

"Hahaha… hahaha… what a cute mink!" The large group of people couldn't help but burst into laughter.

At this moment, everyone seemed to forget that they were in a dangerous situation and enjoyed a rare moment of relaxation.

The laughter reached the wild beasts that had been staring at them through the heavy rain, which instantly ignited their already anxious mood. Those eyes that were staring intently became bloodthirsty and began to stir restlessly.

"Um…"

"Awooo…"

"Caw caw…"

The beasts made roaring sounds, and the pairs of differently colored fluorescent eyes began to flicker in the night.

The beasts' calls abruptly stopped the laughter of the 'Dust' clan people. They stared blankly at those cold and menacing beast eyes, and the 'Dust' clan people slowly moved towards the wolf king, their protector and their faith.

Only Li Ge and the wolf king didn't change their expressions. They looked at the wild beasts that also wanted to move in this direction, unmoved.

The wolf king's red eyes mixed with emerald green radiated a strange color in the dark night, startling the beasts and making them stop in their tracks.

Finally, the wolf king swept his gaze over the beasts, who had involuntarily quieted down, and began to stride towards the forbidden area.

When everyone's hearts were filled with worry and fear, they didn't notice the passage of time. So, when the 'Dust' clan people came back to their senses, they were only a few feet away from those beasts.

The 'Dust' clan's forbidden area wasn't large. In Li Ge's opinion, it was only a few thousand square meters, but there were thousands of beasts and the entire 'Dust' clan. Now, after being occupied by the beasts, there was not much space left. It couldn't accommodate all the people and beasts, and everyone unexpectedly saw more beast figures appearing on the road they had just walked. These were probably rushing from far away.

At this moment, the entire world could only hear the sound of pouring rain and the occasional rolling thunder.

Just as both sides were confronting each other, a bright flash of lightning split the sky, illuminating the world like daylight, and also allowing the 'Dust' clan people to see the forms and numbers of the other side clearly.

Immediately, gasps were heard everywhere.

Even the elders who had lived here all their lives had never seen so many beasts.

Even Li Ge couldn't help but gasp. Although she had also lived in the forest for a long time, it was a modern forest, where there were very few real beasts. When she occasionally saw one or two, her master would panic and ask her to hide quickly. She had never seen such a large group of beasts before.

"Young lady, what should we do?" Wulun, who had seen a lot, quickly recovered and ran to Li Ge, asking in a low voice.

Li Ge's mind was blank. She was even starting to panic. She hadn't experienced these things before.

"Mo, what should we do?" She reflexively asked the wolf king.

Although Mo was very powerful, he was only one. And the people of the 'Dust' clan, there were old people and children. Looking at the situation where they were surrounded, Li Ge's anxiety gradually increased.

The wolf king seemed to sense the fear of the woman on his back. He turned his head and looked at Li Ge with his strange red and green eyes, which were filled with reassurance.

Taking a deep breath, Li Ge's tense nerves began to relax. She turned her head and reassured Wulun and the 'Dust' clan people. "Things will work out. Besides, those beasts don't dare to act rashly."

Although it was self-deception, Wulun nodded and said in a loud voice, "Everyone, you've seen the situation. Now we only have one way, which is to follow our wolf king and this young lady. If we can coexist peacefully with the beasts, that's fine. If they become violent, don't be afraid. For the few chances of survival we have left, we must hold on, understand?"

Wulun's words were met with silence for a moment, then a few scattered voices echoed in response.

"Understood."

"Master Wulun, is there no other way?"

"But if the beasts get angry, how can we survive?"

Among them, most people were pessimistic. They didn't understand why they had to compete with the beasts for territory, or why they couldn't go down the mountain.

But everyone's complaints stopped when the wolf king coldly swept his gaze over them. Even the usually good-tempered Li Ge couldn't help but shout, "If you think it's not safe, you can go back now. Humph, Mo won't protect you anymore."
