Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO

When the owner of the pair of eyes appeared from the darkness right in front of Gu Mengmeng’s eyes, she felt at ease instead.

“Elvis? Why did you only come back now?” Gu Mengmeng tried but realized her legs were so wobbly she could not stand, so she decided to sit cross-legged on the floor, with her arms hanging weakly resting on the side of her knees. She looked up at the gilding wolf in front of her, “Have you seen Lea? He hasn’t come back, I’m a little worried.”

Elvis did not transform back to human form, only using his head to poke Gu Mengmeng, gesturing at her to return to the cave.

Gu Mengmeng tilted her head, looked at Elvis and asked, “Why? What happened? Why are you not transforming back to human form?”

Elvis poked at Gu Mengmeng twice more, but she remained stubborn, unwilling to return. Not having any other choice, Elvis could only throw her on his back, carrying her back into the cave.

It didn’t take much walking distance for Gu Mengmeng to clearly sense something wrong with Elvis. Despite his efforts to hide it, Gu Mengmeng still realized his hind leg seemed to have been injured.

Afraid to cause further injury, Gu Mengmeng did not struggle during the trip. It was only until Elvis had sent her into the cave and was about to turn around when Gu Mengmeng spread open her arms, blocking Elvis’ way at the cave entrance, “What happened to your leg? You are hurt, aren’t you?”

Elvis subconsciously withdrew his leg, letting out a deep whimper.

Gu Mengmeng did not understand beast language, and could only worry, “Lea went to treat Nina’s partner for a day and hasn’t returned. How about this, you stay in the cave and rest while I’ll go get Lea back to treat your injury.”

When Gu Mengmeng finished speaking, she turned around to run out. However, Elvis ignored his injury, biting onto the back of Gu Mengmeng’s dress, bringing her back to his embrace. With a flick of his front paw, Gu Mengmeng was right in his arms.

Gu Mengmeng did not face as much psychological pressure when it came to Elvis being in his beast form. Also, since his hind leg was clearly injured, any resistance would definitely cause further injury. Thus, Gu Mengmeng did not dare to make any movements, and could only let Elvis protect her under his abdomen, using his chin to lightly brush against the top of her head. Finally, he placed her head in the pit of his neck, the softest area of his jaw touching against her head gently. Just like that, he hugged her and did not sleep throughout the night.

Gu Mengmeng did not know when she fell asleep, but it was only when she woke up again that she realized Elvis was gone once again. There were some fruits that had already been washed that were placed at the cave entrance, and she thought that Elvis had probably placed them there.

Gu Mengmeng looked around, but did not notice any signs of Lea’s return.

A huge sense of uneasiness and suspicion grew in her heart. She could neither bother eating those fruits, nor about how painful the bottom of her feet felt. She could only walk out of Elvis’ territory based on her own memory, running straight to Sandy’s place.

Gu Mengmeng had barely reached Sandy’s house when Sandy appeared from her cave. Her eyes were bloodshot and red, and it was obvious she had cried.

“You…?” Gu Mengmeng could not make any requests when Sandy was under such a condition, so she showed some concern first, “What happened? Did Nina come to bully you again?”

Sandy shook her head, and tears that looked like they took a long time to stop poured out of her eyes once again. She pulled Gu Mengmeng’s tiny hands, her tear-filled eyes fixated on Gu Mengmeng, biting her lower lip, unable to say anything. Eventually, she pulled Gu Mengmeng in for a tight hug, followed by a burst of throbbing tears, sobbing until she could barely breathe.

Gu Mengmeng patted Sandy’s back gently, not knowing what had happened. Yet, she felt as if a dark cloud was hovering over her head, pressing against her until she felt like suffocating.
