Exiled Villainess: They Threw Me Out, Now Every Beastman Wants Me novel Chapter 138

Chapter 138: Wolves vs Walls

The first problem, for the wolves, was the variety of the beasts in the Dow clan.

Calis’s pack was full of only wolves. Every face, every scent, every set of ears in his territory belonged to the same species. It was the way things were supposed to be.

The Dow clan was filled with too many distracting faces.

And none of them seemed to find this strange.

The four wolves flanking Calis had gone rigid the moment they entered the settlement. Their eyes darted from beast to beast as if they expected to be ambushed at any moment by the sheer confusion of what they were seeing.

"Alpha," one whispered, his voice tight. "There are... many different types."

"I can see that."

"All in one place."

"I said I can see that."

"Together."

"Do you need me to confirm every observation you make?"

The wolf shut his mouth, but his ears continued to swivel like they were trying to independently process the situation his brain had given up on.

A badger male walked past them carrying a cub on each shoulder. One cub had spotted ears. The other had tiny antlers. Neither child appeared to belong to the same species as the male carrying them, and he didn’t seem to care.

One of Calis’s wolves made a small, strangled sound.

Calis ignored him.

Faelynn had shifted into her normal form and had taken Luth to her chest when the Dow clan females noticed her pregnant belly.

What happened next was less an introduction and more an abduction.

Three beast-women descended on Faelynn with the organised precision of a rescue operation. They didn’t ask Calis for permission. They didn’t even look at him. One simply placed a hand on Faelynn’s side and said, "Oh, you poor thing. Come with us."

Faelynn looked at her brother with wide, startled eyes as she was firmly guided toward the communal shelter.

Calis took a step forward. "Wait—"

"She needs food!" one of the females called back without turning around.

"And water!"

"Look how thin she is! Bring her some of the meat. We don’t have much again, but you will manage!"

"And the tubers! The mashed ones! We still have some left!"

"Yes. Yes. They are easier on the stomach when you are with cub!"

"I did not give permiss—" Calis started, but Faelynn had already disappeared through the shelter entrance with Luth still on her chest, and the females had closed ranks behind them like a wall.

He stood there with his hand half-raised, his mouth still open, and the dawning realisation that his authority meant absolutely nothing here.

One of his wolves leaned toward him. "Did they just... take her?"

"Without asking you, Alpha?"

Calis’s jaw worked.

"Should we—"

A young beast male bounded toward them with the enthusiasm of a cub who had been given a task and intended to perform it with maximum effort.

It was the same male who had welcomed them initially with Xavi and Ermin, but now that everyone’s focus had shifted from Tera, it was now directed to the wolves.

The other clan members were staring in surprise at the wolves.

"Come! Let me show you around the clan!"

The wolves stared at him.

Bessier didn’t notice, or didn’t care. He was already walking, gesturing broadly at the settlement with the pride of a tour guide presenting the wonder of the age.

"This is the main clearing! Over there is the nursery, and over there are the other shelters. The farm is up on the plateau, and the water channels run from the stream to the basins over here!"

He pointed at the stone-lined channels with such vigour that one of the wolves flinched.
