Ditched Cheating Alpha, I Led My Daughter to Life's Peak novel Chapter 319

Ethel tries to help his imprint. He lifts Fei's blanket gently, smiling, as if to show her the fabric means no harm. "See? The blanket's nice."

Fei's not impressed. She crosses her arms, huffing, which makes her look more like Shen than ever. "Bad Epel," she mumbles over pouted lips. She's too young to be so jaded with men.

Ethel cocks his head back. "Now I'm bad too?" He doesn't say it playful. He sounds genuinely offended.

Shen gives him a 'really?' look.

He gawks. "She started it. I was being nice."

"Nuh-uh," Fei winds her neck.

Ethel sits up straighter. "Yes-hu-"

"If you finish that sentence..." Shen pinches the bridge of her nose.

It's Ethel's turn to pout. Fei giggles. That is, until Shen tries to lift the blanket over her again. Fei transforms, literally, into a flailing wolf pup. Ethel's jaw drops. He looks like he applied for a job he didn't actually have the credentials for. He stares wide-eyed into space, looking for anything to save him as Fei kicks and wails. Shen bangs her head against the headrest, caught between a rock and a hard place.

Onai can't take anymore. He nudges Ethel back against the seat, out of the way, before taking hold of the blanket himself. He covers his head with it. Fei's wolf keeps crying. Onai pulls the blanket off of his head, looks at her, then puts it back again.

Fei's cries turn to whines.

Onai covers his head. Uncovers his head.

Fei quiets.

Onai repeats the process.

Fei smiles, then fights it. Then she giggles, then fights it. She's back in human form now, clothes adjusted by Shen. Fei pulls the blanket over her head herself, pulling it down and smiling at Onai expectantly.
