Exiled Villainess: They Threw Me Out, Now Every Beastman Wants Me novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127: Wet, Dirty & Dripping (bonus)

Tera had been aware of Calis’ face since she first saw him. Even in profile, the sharp jawline and crimson eyes were hard to ignore.

But his face was not the problem right now.

Some of the wolves had shed their fur coat coverings halfway through the digging. The wolves in this pack seemed to cover themselves more than the males in the Dow clan, which Tera had guessed was because of the cooler climate or maybe because wolves just had more hides and fur.

But now that several of them were stripped to the waist, Tera was noticing things she had no business noticing in the middle of a construction project.

Calis was stacked.

He wasn’t as large as Xavi. No one was as large as Xavi. But he had considerably more muscle than Ermin’s lean frame, and every stroke of the hoe made that abundantly clear.

His shoulders were broad, his arms corded with strength, and sweat glistened deliciously on his skin. They traced paths down the hard planes of his side before disappearing beneath the hide at his waist.

His back also flexed with every strike of the hoe, the muscles shifting and bunching in a rhythm that Tera’s brain had decided to catalogue in exhaustive, traitorous detail.

The way those dark tattoos also curved along his body...

Why was he so hot?

Tera caught herself staring and immediately looked away, but her eyes drifted back within seconds like they had a mind of their own.

This was bad. This was very bad.

It reminded her of her first year on the job. She had developed a stupid, raging crush on one of the site foremen. He’d had this way of rolling up his sleeves while reviewing blueprints that had made her forget how to read floor plans.

The crush had died a swift and embarrassing death when she found out he was married. She hadn’t noticed because nobody wore their wedding bands on site due to the equipment being handled, and she had been too busy lusting over the fine hands holding the blueprints to actually read the worker reports her supervisor had given her.

If she had spent less time drooling and more time reviewing paperwork, she would have seen his marital status right there on the form.

The memory made her wince.

But Tera stopped short as a new thought hit her.

Calis was the leader of this pack. Did he already have a mate? Tera hadn’t seen any female making pining looks at him, and he hadn’t directed any particular attention toward any of the other three females.

But then again, she had barely been here a day and had been too preoccupied with meat and water crises to notice romantic dynamics.

It would suck if he had one.

If there was one thing Tera loved about this world, it was the freedom to amass a lovely harem without any of the legal complications of her previous life. And it was a common thing here, apparently.

But even so, she pouted, feeling picky and annoyed.

Why couldn’t Calis have just come straight to her clan like some lost puppy instead of kidnapping her and dragging her all the way out here? She could have shown him the settlement, the farm, the water channels, and the nursery. He would have seen her greatness firsthand without anyone needing to get knocked unconscious.

But noooo, this wolf had to do things the hard way.

’Stupid alpha and his stupid muscles and his stupid kidnapping.’

Calis paused mid-swing and looked at Tera while he wiped the sweat from his face with the back of his forearm.

’That was close.’

’Nothing!’
