Her Loyal Wolf - Chapter 3

For some reason, the building had been crowded with beastmen when I arrived, but now it was completely deserted.

I called Mo Bai again and again on my smart terminal and sent countless messages explaining what had happened.

He never responded.

I was so frantic that I burst into tears. My future looked utterly bleak.

It was over. Completely over.

Mo Bai’s darkening level must have risen again. He probably hated me to death by now.

In the book, the Federation government had automatically matched the original Ning Yuan and Mo Bai according to their mental-power levels.

Mo Bai was a genius the Federation had not seen in a thousand years. His mental power was the only SS rank in the entire world. He had earned the rank of general at a remarkably young age and would one day become the youngest and most outstanding marshal in Federation history.

But the original Ning Yuan despised him.

She hated beastmen who served in the military. She thought they were all huge and brutish, taciturn and rigid, with no idea how to please a female.

She hated that they spent so much time away from home and cared nothing about family life. She also hated being forced to accept them under Federation military law.

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

Bringing him lunch would have been unthinkable.

Jin Chen also served in the military, but he was Mo Bai’s complete opposite. Not only was he delicate and refined, he also knew exactly how to charm others. He had been the original Ning Yuan’s favorite.

Military headquarters was heavily guarded, and outsiders were forbidden entry.

Mo Bai must have assumed I had used his status to get inside and fawn over Jin Chen. No wonder he was furious.

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

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

I knew 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. Whenever he was working on the capital planet, he always came home on time. If he had to travel to another planet to fight space pirates, he informed me in advance. He was an exceptionally responsible beast husband.

He had never vanished without a trace like this.

Panic swallowed me whole.

My mind spun with the thought that Mo Bai might be in danger, but who in the Federation could possibly hurt him?

And if something had happened to him, why had the hospital not contacted me, his lady?

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

I despaired.

I sat numbly on the floor, the book’s description of Mo Bai crawling out of hell for revenge filling my mind. In the original plot, Ning Yuan and Jin Chen had pushed him off a cliff.

Then he had cut her apart, one slice at a time.

I did not want to die.

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

The thought vanished as quickly as it came.

The Association was extremely radical. Even if they found Mo Bai, they would surely accuse him of jealousy and neglecting his lady, then lock him away to be “disciplined” and tortured.

That would do far more harm than good.

I waited until noon the following day. Just as my anxiety was reaching its limit, I finally received news of Mo Bai.

The moment the hospital called, I leaped to my feet and rushed there.

Outside Mo Bai’s hospital room, however, I saw someone I never expected.

Su Ranran, the heroine of the book.

Why was she here?

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