Exiled Villainess: They Threw Me Out, Now Every Beastman Wants Me novel Chapter 134

Chapter 134: Crying Over Meat

Several males had gone rigid, their ears swivelling and their eyes scanning the treeline as if Faelynn’s tears could only mean an imminent attack. One wolf actually shifted into his beast form and crouched low, nose to the ground, searching for whatever had made the most fearsome female in the pack break down.

Because Faelynn did not cry.

Faelynn had not cried when they were chased across three territories by a corrupted beast. She had not cried when her favourite mate had died. She had delivered her first cub in silence and had bitten through a strip of hide to keep from screaming.

And now she was weeping because she couldn’t go on a trip.

"Is she hurt?!"

"Check the cub! Is the cub coming?!"

"Should we fight something?!"

"Fight WHAT?!"

"I don’t know! Something made her cry! Find it!"

[Such a dramatic emotional shift in the wolf female!]

[(⊙_⊙)]

Xavi, Ermin, and the others from the Dow clan were just as baffled, but Tera faintly understood Faelynn’s distress, even though she had also been taken aback by it.

The females surrounded Calis’ sister, rubbing her back, stroking her hair, and murmuring soothing words with the practised tenderness of mothers who had comforted countless crying cubs.

It only made everything worse.

Faelynn’s sobs grew louder, and the gentle touches and soft voices that were meant to calm her had taken the opposite effect.

"Fae—Faelynn—"

She cried harder.

"You do not need to go. You can rest here with us—"

Even harder.

"Faelynn, please, the cub—"

"I am so TIRED!" Faelynn burst out between sobs, and the raw, cracking honesty of it silenced every voice in the clearing.

Her hands were shaking against her swollen belly, and she tried to wipe her tears, embarrassed.

Tears streamed down her face in messy trails, and her composure, the iron wall she had maintained for months and years, crumbled in front of the entire pack.

"I am tired, and I am always hungry," she choked out. "My body aches, and I never sleep properly, and the cubs never stop needing things, and I haven’t eaten anything that tasted GOOD since before the Collapse until last night—"

Her voice broke.

"That meat was the best thing I have ever eaten, and I just wanted to have more of it, and now I am CRYING about MEAT, and I do not even understand why—"

She pressed both hands over her face, mortified by her own words, but the tears kept coming anyway.

The clearing was deathly silent.

[...]

[(ᵕŏᴗŏ)]

[Just because of that?]

’Shut up, you heartless thing!’

[(º∆º)]

[This system isn’t heartless!]

Tera turned her attention to what was happening in front of her. Her chest ached, and she wasn’t looking at Faelynn anymore, but at her brother.

The alpha’s stubbornness was fracturing, and it nearly crumbled.

He hadn’t known about this, and he was still struggling to grasp how she was crying because of that meat.

’Damn. So, I was right...’
