Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO

“Then why didn’t you explain?” Gu Mengmeng asked.

Peter looked like she had just told a joke. “Explain? Ha, the first time she smiled at me and asked me coquettishly not to leave—she was obviously trembling in fear all over but still nestled into my arms. She kept whimpering and saying she was afraid of the dark. She said that she needed me and wanted me to hold her… how to explain? How to push her away and tell her I didn’t kill her partners. She didn’t need to ingratiate herself to me… even though I knew she was lying to me, I couldn’t refuse. I couldn’t say that I didn’t need that! I just couldn’t get rid of my damn greediness!”

Gu Mengmeng felt her heart constrict.

Peter grabbed his own hair as if he wanted to tear off his own head. “More than anyone else, I don’t wish for her partners to die. If only they were still alive, Natalie would continue to fawn over me just to protect them. For the sake of that lie, I went all out to ensure her partners continued to live.”

“But what could I do? Those two fools thought I was using them to blackmail Natalie. They threw themselves off a cliff. Smiling as they fell, they cried out that I no longer have any leverage to keep Natalie imprisoned… what would I give to drag them back up and rip open their heads to see if they had any brains?! If they all died… all the more I wouldn’t be able to let Natalie go. Apart from me, there is no one left to take care of her. How could I let her go…”

Gu Mengmeng frowned. “But she said you forced her to choose between her unborn child and those two partners.”

Peter shook his head. “When I forced her to choose, those two fools were still alive. Her first and second partners. I thought those two fellows would be so important to her that she would abort her unborn child for them. After all, that child was created by someone she hated—me. I planned it carefully. Abort the child… then release her… because I knew that her partners would never give up in trying to rescue her. If those two died, she would crumble.”

Gu Mengmeng couldn’t help glancing at Elvis. She twisted her lips in silence.

She nearly never got the chance to meet her own hubby.

Was the random desire to kill their own sons something passed down his side of the family?

She instinctively held onto Elvis’ neck, as if he might disappear any time.

In the face of Gu Mengmeng’s sudden unease, Elvis kissed her gently on her little face and said in a comforting tone, “Don’t be afraid, I will never leave you.”

“Mmm.” Gu Mengmeng nodded and pressed her cheek against Elvis’ own.

Peter observed Gu Mengmeng’s and Elvis’ interaction with envy. “If only she could rely on me like that, just one time… we would never end up in such a state today.”

Gu Mengmeng remained silent. Their relationship had started off on the wrong foot right from the start. No matter what, forcing a female to mate was something that was completely unforgivable.

Peter continued. “For the sake of her unborn child, Natalie was willing to remain by my side, perhaps… that was the most benevolent and most cruel thing she had ever done to me.”

Gu Mengmeng looked at Peter in confusion, but he just looked at Elvis. “Believe it or not, the fact that you are alive, is something I tried my best to ensure.”
