Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO (Web Novel)
chapter-52

The sweet scent had gradually spread out and the whole Saint Nazaire was overjoyed.

Yes, another female in Saint Nazaire had matured into adulthood.

Even though it was only her second day at the tribe, she was Saint Nazaire’s female after all!

Every female maturing into adulthood was a celebratory event for the tribe. One reason was that the ratio of females being born was extremely low, in addition to their weak nature, it was not easy for them to survive until adulthood. The second reason was that all the unmated males had the responsibility to nurture and protect the young females since the day they were born, hence on the day they mature, the tribe would host a grand campfire for the matured female to choose the male that she liked, among all single males, as her partner.

To be the first partner of a female was crucial to a male’s life afterwards. No matter how many partners the female had in the future, the first partner’s status in the family was always the next important followed by the female. Also, since females were generally the hands-off boss and did not care about anything at all, the first partner actually had full control and commanding power over the whole family.

In addition, although Gu Mengmeng, who matured into adulthood today, had only come to the tribe for two days, she had brought way too much shock to Saint Nazaire.

She had brought in delicious food and the fire of hope given by the Beast Deity.

She was kind, friendly, righteous and extremely beautiful.

A female like this, was going to mature into adulthood today!

The happiness came too suddenly, the males of Saint Nazaire were bound to be in a frenzy.

In contrast was Elvis’s conflicting mind, Lea’s silent smile and Barete’s unbearable pain.

Well, Barete was one of the best among Gu Mengmeng’s pursuers and she had obviously treated him differently. If he could express his love for her during the campfire tonight, even if he could not become the first partner, he definitely could become one of them.

However, right now he must kneel on the Platform of the Deity’s Punishment for two more days.

In these two days, he could only watch as Gu Mengmeng chose others.

However, Gu Mengmeng, who had caused the entire commotion, did not know what her Great Aunt meant to the males in Saint Nazaire. She could only look at Lea gently smiling beside him with a red face, thinking of how to tell him that he could not cure menstrual cramps even if he was the most famous doctor alive.

“I…” Gu Mengmeng wriggled slightly, trying to stand up from Lea’s arms.

Although she felt that his arms were warm and comfortable, it was just too embarrassing to stay in his arms for someone with Great Aunt and not having sanitary pads on.

But Lea tightened his grip and stopped her from moving. His eyes scanned the males under the Platform of the Deity’s Punishment that were even more excited from Gu Mengmeng’s small movement as a signal. Lea’s rosy lips moved closer to her ears and said with a rich and deep voice resembling the cello, “Don’t leave me.”

Gu Mengmeng instantly had goosebumps over her whole body, literally.

Was she being teased?!

She had watched countless Korean dramas, but in the end she was teased by an ancient beast?!

Gu Mengmeng’s small hands pressed against her fast pounding heart, swallowed saliva and battled with her values.

Damn, Beauty Lea had already said that, should she pounced into his arms?

Lea looked back at Gu Mengmeng and his lips slowly edged closer, until it was at no more than two millimeters away from her nose. A warm and moist breath scattered onto her nose. The ambiguity that came head-on caught Gu Mengmeng totally off-guard.

“Your eyes… looked like they want to eat me up.”
