The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 399 - 307: Matters of the Heart (2)

That Fawkes Peacock was instantly jealous, and with a flick of his Fiery Red Feather Robe, he squeezed between them: "Why does Luna only look at him? I have flowers on my face too..."

As he spoke, he leaned his handsome face towards Luna Sutton, almost brushing against her nose.

Luna Sutton was caught between tears and laughter, she slapped him away, her gaze still on Kian Sterling: "Come with me, I have something to say to you."

She turned and walked towards the lake.

Kian Sterling was slightly startled, not knowing what Luna wanted to say to him, but he still wore a gentle smile: "Alright."

Corbin Crowley’s silver eyes narrowed slightly, just about to follow.

Rhys Blackwood reached out to stop him: "Give them some space."

He also vaguely felt that something was off with Kian’s emotions lately, although everything looked perfectly normal on the surface, just like before.

But that faintly gloomy aura on him couldn’t escape his eyes.

If he hadn’t guessed wrong, Luna must have noticed the change in Kian, that’s why she wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk.

Corbin glanced at Rhys, his silver eyes scanning towards the lake, his expression unreadable, not knowing what he was thinking.

But he didn’t follow them after all.

...

The reeds by the lake swayed gently in the wind, the moonlight scattered on the lake like a handful of silver beads.

Luna Sutton and Kian Sterling walked to the lakeside one after the other.

She found a clean rock and sat down, patting the space next to her: "Sit."

Kian Sterling sat down as instructed, quietly waiting for her to continue.

A moment of silence passed.

She suddenly turned to look at him, speaking frankly: "Have you been troubled by something lately?"

Kian Sterling was slightly stunned, then chuckled and shook his head: "Why does Luna ask that? What could be bothering me."

"Don’t hide it from me."

Luna Sutton’s expression was serious, "Are you still bothered by that incident with the broken tail, or do you feel uncomfortable because after having you five, I took in Mael Valerius, Soren Phoenix, and even kept Caleb Manning around?"

She knew that Kian was an extremely sensitive and thoughtful person, always keeping things bottled up inside.

If not addressed in time, he might become fixated on it.

Kian hadn’t expected her to be so direct, and a flicker of panic flashed through his fox-like eyes as his thoughts were revealed.

He did mind the issue of Mael Valerius breaking off his tail, and he was indeed displeased with Luna’s actions of loving one after the other.

Even after having the five of them, why did she continue to take in Mael Valerius and Soren Phoenix?

And even kept an ambiguous relationship with Caleb Manning, he had seen it all.

He thought he had hidden it well, but he didn’t expect Luna to notice.

"I..."

He opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.

Should he admit it? But what ground did he have to criticize Luna?

In the beast world, it was a generally accepted rule that females could have multiple Beast Husbands.

Luna’s actions were not out of the ordinary.

But if he denied it, his heart indeed felt that way.

He even selfishly hoped that Luna would chase away Corbin, Rhys, Zeke Veridian, and Malachi Arcanus, leaving her solely to him.

From then on, he wouldn’t have to share her with other beastmen.

But how could he voice these dark and selfish thoughts?

More so, he couldn’t say it out loud.

Luna Sutton looked up, meeting eyes that were as deep as an ancient well, filled with emotions she couldn’t understand.

It made her heart skip a beat.

She steadied herself, took his hand, and said gently: "If you’re unhappy, you can say it. Isn’t honesty the foundation of a partnership?"

Kian Sterling stared at her intently, suddenly reaching out to caress her cheek, his fingers cold: "What if I said... I want to be the only Beast Husband?"

Luna Sutton was taken aback, obviously not expecting Kian to say that.

She thought at most, Kian was bothered by the past incident with Mael Valerius breaking his tail, or was somewhat unhappy with her continuing to take on Beast Husbands.

She didn’t expect him to have such extreme and possessive thoughts.

"You..."

She was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to respond.

But Kian just laughed, his smile full of bitterness and self-mockery: "See, I knew you’d react this way. In truth, I shouldn’t harbor such thoughts, it goes against the norms."

He lowered his hand, his eyes dim: "But I just can’t control myself, every time I see you getting close with them, jealousy drives me mad."

He even thought, wouldn’t it be nice if they were all dead, then would Luna belong solely to him?

But he didn’t say this last part out loud.

The sound of baby animals playing in the distance only made the lakeside more silent.

Luna Sutton frowned deeply but said nothing like "you shouldn’t be jealous."

She understood Kian’s desire for them to be together alone for a lifetime, but how was that possible?

If she were to be with Kian alone, what would happen to Corbin, Rhys, Zeke Veridian, Malachi Arcanus, and Soren Phoenix?

Would they all just be dismissed?

And herself with their children, would she just abandon them all?

It was simply impossible.

Her feelings for Kian weren’t strong enough to abandon everything for him.

"But this is the beast world, and they are also my Beast Husbands..."

Luna Sutton said with a conflicted expression.

"So what?"

Kian suddenly closed in, his ten tails unfurling in the moonlight like snow-white waves, "I can build a city for you, conquer lands for you, vanquish all your enemies..."

His fingers grazed past her pale face, "I can even... kill them for you."

The last few words were so faintly whispered, but it shocked Luna Sutton to the core.

She jumped up and stepped back: "Are you crazy?"

But Kian just laughed lowly, dark tides surging in his eyes: "Yes, I am crazy... I don’t even know when it started, I just want you to belong only to me."

Suddenly, the sound of something heavy falling into the water came not far away.

Malachi Arcanus’s cursing voice followed: "Why’d you push me into the water, That Fawkes Peacock?!"

Then Soren Phoenix intentionally argued loudly: "So you can wash yourself properly in the lake, to avoid stinking up Little Luna."

He was doing it on purpose, not knowing what Little Luna and the old fox were discussing over there.

The unexpected commotion shattered the silence and oppressive atmosphere from earlier.

Luna Sutton took the opportunity to turn away: "It’s time to go back for dinner."

Leaving those words, she hastily walked away.

Kian Sterling watched her retreating back, suddenly letting out a low chuckle, dark tides surging in his eyes, "I knew this would be the outcome, I shouldn’t have told you, but in the end, I just couldn’t hold it in."

His laughter faded into the night wind, his fingertips still holding the warmth of her touch.
