Exiled Villainess: They Threw Me Out, Now Every Beastman Wants Me novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38: Forty Five Seconds On His Tail

’Hmm... Maybe I shouldn’t have said that?’

Ermin frowned, caught somewhere between anger and something he clearly didn’t want to feel.

Tera nodded. "Yes."

She could see how confused he looked, and she also had the faint hope that she was finally getting through to him.

She needed to show she was serious about this.

"Is there a way to remove the imprint?"

It was ironic how the original Tera knew how to make someone her mate, but didn’t even know how to undo it.

’Was there even an option for that?’

[Imprint Removal Protocol exists]

[However, a probation period of four to six months after initial bonding is required before dissolution is possible]

[Host cannot break the bond immediately, even if she wishes to]

[(◞‸◟)]

[Current elapsed time: Approximately 2 weeks]

Tera’s heart sank. He would have to carry this bond for months before he could be free of it.

Ermin was shocked. She was willing to let him go?

But a bit of his bitterness returned. "The imprint cannot even be removed anytime soon. If I could, I would have gotten rid of it already."

Ermin turned away from her, pacing before he faced her again. The look on his face was biting.

"Is this what this is about? You are clearing your conscience now because you have found a new mate in the clan leader?"

Tera’s mouth opened in confusion.

"You derail my life and you are moving on with yours as if it meant nothing."

"No. That is not why I am here! This has nothing to do with—"

"Then why? Why now? Why do you suddenly care? Go back to being the same shameless female you were!"

’If I were truly that shameless, I would literally think of how I was going to eat that dick again, but no! I can’t have that!’

[(·•᷄‎ࡇ•᷅ )]

Tera blinked, wondering why out of all things, that popped into her head.

’Don’t say anything!’

Tera shook her head, briefly closing her eyes to get her thoughts back in order.

She was conflicted. She couldn’t tell him the truth about being a different person, but it was possible she could give him a version that was close enough.

But while Tera was deep in her thoughts, neither she or Ermin were aware of the silent beast that was listening to their conversation from a distance.

He quickly slinked off when he had gotten the information he needed.

Tera sighed. "I understand how my behaviour might be confusion. But when I was banished from the tribe, I fell down that hill and hit my head very hard. I almost died, and in that moment, I thought about everything, including all the things I wished I could undo... I do not like who I have been as a person, and I genuinely want to change."

Ermin looked less angry, not knowing what to do with himself or what Tera had told him.

’She’s an idiot,’ Tera thought. ’A stupid, shortsighted idiot who threw away a perfectly good panther with a very talented tail.’

’I was reflecting on the injustice of his situation!’
