Her Loyal Wolf - Chapter 3

For some reason, military headquarters had been crowded with beastfolk when I arrived, but now the building stood empty and silent.

I called Mo Bai repeatedly on my personal terminal and sent message after message explaining what had happened.

He never responded.

I was so frantic that I started to cry. The future seemed utterly bleak.

It’s over. It’s all over.

Mo Bai’s Darkness Level must have risen even higher. He probably hated me to death by now.

In the book, the original Ning Yuan and Mo Bai had been automatically matched for marriage by the Federation government according to their psychic power ranks.

Mo Bai was a once-in-a-thousand-years Federation genius, the only person in the world with SS-rank psychic power. He had earned the rank of general at a remarkably young age and would go on to become the Federation’s youngest and most outstanding marshal.

But the original Ning Yuan despised him.

She hated beastfolk in the military, believing them to be big, brutish, silent, rigid, and incapable of pleasing a female.

She hated that they spent so much time away from home. She hated being forced to accept them because of Federation military law.

That was why she had never once set foot in Mo Bai’s workplace.

Bringing him lunch would have been unthinkable.

Although Jin Chen also served in the military, he was Mo Bai’s complete opposite. Not only was he refined and handsome, but he also knew exactly how to charm people. The original Ning Yuan had adored him.

Military headquarters was heavily guarded, and outsiders were forbidden to enter.

Mo Bai must have thought I had used his identity to gain entry so I could fawn over Jin Chen. No wonder he was furious.

I heaved a deep sigh. Was this what they meant by trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to lure it?

When I returned home, I waited nervously for Mo Bai so I could explain everything.

I knew very well that a married couple should never let a conflict last overnight. Otherwise, the rift would only deepen until they pushed each other farther and farther away.

But I waited and waited. Midnight came, and there was still no word from him.

Mo Bai had never done this before. As long as he was working on the capital planet, he always came home on time. If he needed to travel to another planet to hunt interstellar pirates, he informed me in advance. He was an exceptionally dutiful husband.

He had never vanished without a trace like this.

I panicked.

My mind filled with wild fears that Mo Bai might be in danger—but who in the Federation could possibly hurt him?

And if something had happened to him, why hadn’t the hospital contacted me, his wife?

There was only one explanation. Mo Bai did not want to come home.

I despaired.

I sat numbly on the floor, the scene from the novel playing through my mind: after Jin Chen and I pushed Mo Bai off a cliff, he crawled back out of hell to take revenge.

One knife stroke at a time, he hacked my body to pieces.

I didn’t want to die.

At one point, I considered asking the Female Protection Association to help find him.

But the thought had barely flashed through my mind before I rejected it.

The Association was extremely radical. Even if they found Mo Bai, they would certainly accuse him of jealousy and neglecting his wife, then lock him away for “correction” and torture him.

That would do far more harm than good.

By noon the next day, just as my anxiety was becoming unbearable, I finally received news of Mo Bai.

The moment the hospital called my personal terminal, I sprang up and rushed over.

But outside Mo Bai’s room, I saw someone I had never expected.

Su Ranran—the heroine of this book.

Why was she here?

The male and female leads were not supposed to cross paths until after “I” died.
