Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO

Panda Novel

“Cole was behind that previous attack by the stray beasts,” Elvis said.

Gu Mengmeng nodded. “I know. That was to give Burke a way in, to let him stay by my side. Didn’t we already guessed that long ago?”

Elvis shook his head. “Cole hoped we would think that. That was why he purposely left his own scent on Burke. But in reality, Cole’s true intention was to check out your true abilities and… to drug Lea.”

Cole knew that Gu Mengmeng had inherited Snake’s abilities and she could understand him making use of the stray beasts to test her out. But why the hell did he want to drug Lea?

Lea propped himself up and leaned against the wall. Although he was not as weak as he pretended to be just now, the fight against Cole had indeed caused him much damage. He was quite drained and his voice seemed to drift with little energy.

“Everyone fainted when you unleash your beast aura that day. And Cole took that opportunity to place a bug into my ear.”

Gu Mengmeng frowned. “What bug?”

Lea replied. “There is an ancient secret skill passed down the Snow fox tribe, that can mess up a person’s thoughts and make him susceptible to the manipulations of the owner of the bug.”

Lea looked at Gu Mengmeng’s concerned gaze and smiled warmly. He felt very blessed.

He was very contented with the concern Gu Mengmeng was showing him and very satisfied with her care.

“This type of bug is very hard to cultivate and needs to be bathed in a special type of potion from the time it hatches. The recipe of that potion is known only to the leader of the tribe. Witch doctors know how to counteract potions, but as the effects only worked to magnify the latent emotions of the victim and manifested gradually, most drugged victims would not notice their own changes. Meanwhile, the people around them would think that the drugged person’s anxiety must be due to some agitating incident. No one would care about a male who exhibits such behavior. Everyone would just distance themselves from him and abandon him…”

Lea gave a light laugh as if talking about somebody else.

Gu Mengmeng sighed and asked, “Then when did you discover you had been drugged?”

Lea put on a pondering face before replying, “I think… it should be the first time I expressed jealousy towards Elvis.”

Magnify the latent emotions… is it?

Gu Mengmeng lowered her head. So Lea had always envied Elvis?

Envious of his status as the first partner and able to hold her as and when he wanted? Or envious of the fact that although he did not get along well with the wolf pups, they were still his own seed?

Meanwhile, although Lea held the status of a partner, apart from the mark on her ear, she could not give him anything else that could give him a sense of security.

Lea seemed to understand Gu Mengmeng’s thoughts and hurriedly waved at her. “I am feeling weak now and cannot go over. So… can you come over to let me hug you?”

“Huh?” Gu Mengmeng looked over at Lea.

Lea smiled with exceptional gentleness. “I won’t feel so much pain if I can hug you.”

Gu Mengmeng stood up and obediently walked over to Lea’s side. She carefully leaned into his embrace.

Lea’s lips curled slightly, his voice as gentle as the ocean waters. “Elvis and I will always be jealous of each other. This is not strange, because we both love you. Perhaps you don’t know this, sometimes… I would even be jealous of my past self for the ability to command your full attention.”
