Nine Hot Therians and Their Only One Queen novel Chapter 717

Chapter 717 She Was Kidnapped Again

So, after Emma left, Jim pulled back his mental power. That indirectly restored Kieran’s ability to sense the Merfolk pearl.

Kieran frowned even tighter. He tried again to pinpoint the pearl’s location. “But I still can’t sense where Emma is.”

“I’m not lying,” Jim said.

He really had withdrawn his mental power.

“Which way did Emma go?” Lucien, who had caught up, asked Jim the moment he heard Kieran speak.

After all, if the Merfolk pearl couldn’t locate Emma, they’d have to go back to the most basic method.

“Over there.” Jim pointed east.

Meanwhile, Emma’s eyes fluttered open again, groggy and disoriented.

She realized she was in a room decorated so beautifully it felt almost dreamlike.

“Where… am I?” She rubbed her head, still dizzy, and sat up.

She remembered Jim and Andre fighting. She had run off to find Kieran. Then, on the way, everything had gone blurry, and after

that, she remembered nothing.

“You’re awake?” A clear, gentle voice came from the doorway.

She looked toward the sound and saw a tall, slender man leaning against the frame.

He wore a spotless white robe. His dark gray hair fell over his shoulders like silk, some strands brushing across his face, half covering his eyes.

His features were so exquisitely delicate, almost unnaturally beautiful, that they blurred the line between male and female.

If it weren’t for the subtle rise and fall of his Adam’s apple, she might have thought she was staring at a flawless beauty rather than a male.

“You’re Clarence?” Emma guessed instinctively the moment she saw him.

After all, whoever had managed to steal her quietly from under Jim and Andre’s noses had to be one of the heirs chosen by the Beast God.

She had already seen Gaellard, Jim, and Andre. Clarence was the only one left.

Clarence wore a pair of extremely thin gold–rimmed glasses. Behind the lenses, his narrow eyes held a half smile, hall sneer that fixed on her.

His gaze wasn’t intense. It was more like a venomous snake hiding in the shadows, flicking its tongue at her. “Clever. You figured out who I am right away.”

He stepped closer, studying her. Then the corner of his eye lifted, and his lips curled into a faint, almost teasing smile. “Did you

sleep well just now, little Emma?”

Little Emma?

Emma shivered.

This male wasn’t exactly cold, but wow, he’s kind of greasy–talking.

She gave him a look of mild disgust. “Try being knocked out. See if you sleep well.”

“Then I guess you didn’t sleep well,” he said, feigning regret. “My bad. I shouldn’t have knocked you out.”

He said it with his words, but there wasn’t a shred of actual remorse in his expression.

Emma rolled her eyes, clearly done with this already. “Why did you steal me?” she asked.

She wasn’t stupid. When it came to a calculating male like this, there was no way she’d act as casually as she did around Jim.

“To bond,” Clarence said without hesitation. “Isn’t that the same reason Jim stole you?”

I’m not some bored idiot with nothing better to do than kidnap females for fun. If I went through the trouble of taking her, obviously, it’s for bonding.

Bond? Emma let out a silent, mocking laugh inside her head.

Yeah, in his dreams. Clarence might be beautiful, sure, but he’s not my type. A scheming male like him? I already have two of those at home. Clarence only ranks a little higher in ability. But when it comes to playing mind games, I doubt he could actually outmaneuver

Silas.

Thinking of Silas only made her mood sour.

Has that idiot been so busy with work lately that he hasn’t even realized I’ve been stolen?

“If I told you I don’t want to bond with you, what would you do?” Emma asked, watching Clarence carefully, testing the waters.

One of his brows lifted slightly. “And why wouldn’t you want to bond with me? Am I not beautiful enough? Are your other mates better looking? Or is it because my rank is too low?”

She shook her head. “None of that. I just don’t like you.”

Don’t like me? How amusing.

Clarence looked at Emma, yet her rejection didn’t irritate him in the slightest.

Slowly, he leaned down. Both hands braced themselves on either side of her, trapping her between his body and the bed.
