Spoiled By My Nine Beast Husbands (Emma Tibarn) novel Chapter 259

**When She Opened the Door to the Life She Was Afraid to Live by Nora Vale Kingsley**
**Chapter 259: Rank 7 Awakening**

Just moments ago, Marcus had delved into Emma’s surroundings with his mental prowess, probing every corner of her room with a sense of urgency. Everything appeared as it should—orderly, serene, and undisturbed.

*Emma should be safe,* he thought, yet a nagging doubt gnawed at him. The way Edric had been behaving was off; there was something he was concealing—something significant regarding Emma.

An hour slipped by like sand through an hourglass before Emma’s eyes fluttered open, a flicker of electric blue lightning sparking within them.

Now at Rank 7, a profound transformation coursed through her being. Her hair, as dark as the night sky, tumbled down her shoulders like a cascading waterfall, each strand shimmering with vitality. Her features, while familiar, now bore an ethereal quality, as though a celestial sculptor had painstakingly crafted them with the utmost precision.

Her skin radiated a luminous glow, reminiscent of the finest white jade, flawless and resplendent under the light.

*I’ve truly reached Rank 7,* she marveled, the thought sending a thrill through her entire being.

The transition had been astonishingly smooth, almost too easy.

Filled with exhilaration, Emma rose gracefully to her feet and approached the door, her heart racing with anticipation as she swung it open.

Outside, the trio—Corvin, Edric, and Marcus—had been poised to knock when they heard her movement, their hands instinctively raised in readiness.

“Emma!” Corvin called out, his voice laced with concern. “Are you okay?”

At the sound of his familiar voice, Emma stepped forward and flung the door wide open, her smile brightening the dim corridor.

The sight of the three men standing there took her by surprise, their expressions a mix of awe and disbelief.

“What brings you all to my door?” she inquired, her smile growing wider, a hint of mischief dancing in her eyes.

Edric, Corvin, and Marcus stood frozen, their jaws slightly agape.

Had it really only been a few hours since they last saw her? And here she was, having ascended to Rank 7 in such a short span of time.

Marcus, struggling to mask his astonishment, managed to articulate, “Ms. Tibarn, congratulations on reaching Rank 7.”

Corvin, however, was visibly more flabbergasted.

“Emma, this is insane! You actually leveled up again in the blink of an eye!”

She had advanced without a single battle, without any complications, showcasing a level of talent that was nothing short of extraordinary.

Emma had anticipated their reactions and was ready with her explanation. “I reached Rank 7 so smoothly thanks to Remy,” she shared, her voice filled with a mixture of pride and excitement.

Remy, the cub she and Silas had shared, was still in his nascent form, but his presence had already made a significant impact.

Marcus and the others were already aware that Silas’s cub was named Remy, but the implications of her words seemed to sink in slowly.

“Remy helped you?”

Corvin’s voice held a note of incredulity, and it was clear that Marcus and Edric were equally taken aback.

Emma nodded earnestly. “I didn’t mention it before because I didn’t want to worry you all. Once I realized I had a cub, I began absorbing beast cores much more effectively.

*Silas would probably kill him,* she thought, suppressing a chuckle at the mental image.

Fearing Corvin might say something more outrageous, she quickly redirected the conversation.

“It’s getting late. Why aren’t you all asleep? Why are you camped out at my door?”

Considering their departure was set for the following day, they should have been resting, not lingering around her threshold.

Edric was quick to respond, his tone earnest. “Emma, we’re here to keep you company. Just pick someone for tonight.”

Both Marcus and Corvin straightened, their eyes fixed on her with an intensity that was almost palpable.

Previously, they had held back due to her supposed pregnancy, but now they understood it had been a false alarm until she officially bonded with Silas. The competition for her attention had suddenly intensified.

From the vantage point of the second floor, Kieran observed the scene with a tinge of envy, wondering when he would get his own chance to vie for her favor.

Emma surveyed the three men, contemplating her options. Choosing one would undoubtedly hurt the others, so she decided, “Since you’re all here, come in together.”

Edric, Marcus, and Corvin froze, their minds struggling to process her unexpected invitation.

Emma, unfazed by their stunned expressions, waved to Kieran downstairs. “Kieran, you too.”

Kieran’s eyes widened in surprise; he hadn’t anticipated Emma calling him into the mix.
