Exiled Villainess: They Threw Me Out, Now Every Beastman Wants Me novel Chapter 133

Chapter 133: Heavy With Cub, Heavier With Stubbornness

The elders, while they were mildly grateful for what the shiftless female had done for them, were starting to look cautiously pleased at the prospect of Tera finally leaving their midst until Calis had mentioned going with her.

They were especially furious at him for making their pack look weak before these disorganised beasts.

Their frowns had returned in an instant, and of course, Greymaw could not help but flap his mouth again.

"Alpha!" He stepped forward, his scarred face tight. "You cannot leave the pack. No leader abandons his territory like this! Who will watch over the wolves? Who will make decisions? This is not how—"

"What did you say?" Calis turned to the old man, and a lot of the wolves flinched at the stormy look in his eyes.

Even Tera was surprised by the drastic change.

Calis was slightly irritated. He respected Greymaw because the elder had been close to his father and had helped in bringing him up as a cub.

The old wolf, who had been quiet lately, had become so vocal ever since Calis had brought the shiftless female. He understood the old wolf’s pushback perfectly, but how dare he say something like this?

"What gives you the impression I am abandoning our territory like this?" Calis growled. "Or are you implying I am trying to abandon our pack as a whole?"

Greymaw flinched, immediately correcting himself. "No, Alpha! Not at all! I just—"

Calis stared hard at him, and the elder’s words spluttered.

"I just understand he is worried about you going off to another... clan," another elder said with distaste.

"He has not even mentioned how long he would be gone, and you are already saying such things, papa." One of the other females frowned at her father.

Tera watched the entire exchange with a slow unease. She thought she had already completed the task of establishing positive relations with the key pack members, so why were the elders particularly behaving like this?

On another note, Tera felt she needed to pinpoint which elders specifically saw her in a better light cause all of them were not wearing nice faces at the moment.

"Please, forgive them, Alpha." Another one nodded. "We are just worried about the safety of the lengthy journey."

"I will not be long," Calis grumbled. "And I won’t go alone. The females will lead in my absence." He turned to the tired females who had multiple cubs clinging to them while a few of the males carried the rest.

"If you need support, you can consult the elders. Greymaw, do well to help the females and take care of the clan in my absence."

The old wolf’s mouth snapped shut. He seemed oddly satisfied with this outcome, and it made Tera a bit suspicious.

Calis turned to Tera and the others, his features relaxing as he continued.

"I would be grateful if you’d let me visit briefly."

Tera looked at her mates to find them already staring hard at Calis.

But they were thinking.

Xavi had been following the wolf’s words closely. There was no pretence or power play, and it was fitting how a leader was admitting his people needed help.

Xavi would have done the same thing in his stead.

Ermin had also noticed this, but he still didn’t like where this was going. However, a quick glance at the state of the pregnant females and the cubs softened his anger.

He and Xavi surprisingly grumbled at the same time, "He can come."

Calis lightly sagged with relief and Tera smiled.

"Thank you," Calis offered quickly and as Tera silently thanked her males, her thoughts lingered on Calis’ words.

He was not going to move to their clan. She would make sure of that.

Tera felt a bit guilty, but this was both out of selfishness and for their benefit.

This land actually had a lot of potential. There was water, and the earth here was more fertile than the plain the Dow clan was on.

This region would make for an abundant farm, and she especially needed to work on this place for her tasks.

And concentrating all of them in one region would honestly affect the food source unevenly.

At the very least, Tera was going to change their living situation so that they wouldn’t want to leave this place. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
