I Dumped My Mate—Now Every Beast King Wants Me

Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Loki and Amy Seek Out the Golden Dragon Clan

”Young Clan Leader, no matter how much your Golden Dragon Clan wants to cozy up to the White Tiger King, you shouldn’t let your own young female act like this. It looks terribly inappropriate,” Miche said, biting her lip and putting on a fake show of concern.

Laxus disliked Miche. He felt she was always acting pretentious and saying ambiguous things to cause misunderstandings. However, as a male, he couldn’t exactly call her out in public and embarrass a young female.

While her brother couldn’t speak his mind, Ophelia had no intention of indulging a two-faced hypocrite like Miche. ”To a dirty mind, everything looks dirty.”

Miche’s cheeks flushed red. ”Ophelia, you...”

”Ophelia is right. What does it matter to you if I hold my own brother’s arm? You’re sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong. Don’t tell me you want to become my brother’s mate, and that’s why you’re jealous?” Ali sneered, pouting.

”How could that be? The young female Miche likes Loki. She’s remained mateless for four years just for him, so how could she change her mind so easily?” Ophelia said in a mocking tone.

Loki furrowed his brows and looked at Miche, his gaze full of scrutiny.

Miche’s eyes widened. She hadn’t realized Ali was Klein’s sister. She secretly observed the male’s expression, but it remained impassive. She couldn’t tell if he was angry or not. Still, she knew she had to pacify Loki first. She bit her lower lip, her eyes turning red. ”Loki, I... I didn’t...”

Loki naturally believed her. He turned his head and glared at Ophelia in displeasure. ”Ophelia, when will you stop being so hostile toward Miche? It’s your own bad temper that makes Amy dislike you. Why are you blaming it on her?” Not daring to scold the White Tiger King’s sister, he could only vent his anger on Ophelia.

”You dare try to bully my sister in our Golden Dragon Clan’s territory? You’re asking for a beating, Loki.” Unable to tolerate it any longer, Laxus stepped up, ready to punch him.

Seeing this, Miche blocked Loki. ”Leon Clan Leader, are you just going to let your son bully others as he pleases?

”Clay Clan Leader, you saw it too. Relying on their strength, the Golden Dragon Clan dares to bully Loki in public. The young females in their tribe are also used to being domineering, and they often bully those from weaker tribes. You will regret it if you choose a Golden Dragon Clan female as a mate.”

Klein raised an eyebrow. He found this young female quite amusing; she was actually trying to badmouth someone right to his face.

Laxus gritted his teeth in anger. ”He’s the one who deserves a beating! It has nothing to do with my father. Don’t try to drag him into this!”

”If it weren’t for his indulgence, how could you be so bold? He is absolutely—”

SLAP.

Miche covered her cheek, her eyes wide as her voice hit a shrill pitch. ”Ophelia, you... you dared to hit me!”

”So what if I hit you? You came knocking on our door looking for a beating. Of course I wasn’t going to let you off. If I hear one more word of insult directed at my father out of your mouth, it won’t just be a simple slap next time.”

”Ophelia, you’re so badass!” Ali was thrilled. She loved Ophelia’s take-no-prisoners attitude; it was so much like her own brother’s.

Seeing his beloved humiliated, a pang of pain flashed through Loki’s heart. He stepped forward to grab Ophelia, raising his hand to slap her.

But his raised hand never fell. His wrist was firmly caught by an icy hand that kept squeezing harder and harder, as if trying to crush his bones. Loki’s face twisted in agony.

”Clay Clan Leader...”

”Only an incompetent male would lay a hand on a young female. The males of the Snow Wolf Clan have truly opened my eyes.”

Amy, who had been fading into the background, saw her father being bullied. Waving her little fists, she rushed over to Klein’s leg, pummeling him and trying to bite his muscles. ”You bad man! Let my father go! It’s Ophelia’s fault, and she’s the one who deserves to be beaten. What right do you have to hurt my father?”

Her words stunned Laxus, Leon, and Rebecca, who had just arrived.

Rebecca yanked Amy aside, anger flashing across her usually gentle face. ”Amy, who taught you to speak like this? Your mother nearly died giving birth to you, and this is how you treat her?”

Laxus felt a sharp sting in his heart. He had assumed Loki’s terrible attitude was simply because he didn’t like Ophelia. He never expected that Amy, his own sister’s daughter, could say such things.

”Isn’t the whole point of a young female to have children? Even if she didn’t give birth to me, she would have had other babies. If it wasn’t for me, she probably would have died a long time ago.”

Tears streamed down Rebecca’s face.

Furious, Ali forced Amy over her knee and slapped her bottom hard.

A child’s birth date was the mother’s day of suffering. Her own mother had died in labor, so much so that Ali had never even met her. Because of this, she absolutely could not fathom how Amy could say such a thing. If she were Ophelia, she would have wanted to shove this daughter right back where she came from and pretend she had never been born.

”You’re a bad female too! Ophelia, hurry up and save me!”

”Wahhh, Mother, it hurts. I’m hurting to death!” After a barrage of slaps, Amy finally yielded, looking at Ophelia pitifully.

”I am not your mother. Didn’t you say you only borrowed my womb to be born, and that you’re actually your father and Miche’s child?

”You also said that your name was given to you because Loki loves Miche, and that you are Ms. Miche’s child.

”Amy, did you forget all of that?” Ophelia’s expression was indifferent. Without a ripple of emotion, she delivered each word like a sharp blade.

At this point, who couldn’t see that Loki and Miche had been having an affair all along? Even Ophelia’s own daughter had been brainwashed into stabbing her mother in the back.

”My Ophelia, my poor daughter!” Rebecca could no longer hold back her sobs. She pulled Ophelia into her arms, weeping heart-wrenchingly. ”It’s all my fault. I should have fought to the death to stop you from becoming Loki’s mate. It’s all my fault that you’ve had to suffer so much.”

Laxus’s eyes were also red. ”Why didn’t you say something sooner?” he choked out. ”Why?”

In an instant, Leon looked as though he had aged ten years, though a sharp, cold glint flashed in his pale golden eyes. ”Loki, from this day forward, Amy is no longer a part of the Golden Dragon Clan bloodline. Our Golden Dragon Clan will have nothing to do with your Snow Wolf Clan, and your people are strictly forbidden from stepping into our territory to hunt!

”Anyone who trespasses does so at the risk of their own life!”

In the past, for the sake of his daughter, he had turned a blind eye to the Snow Wolf Clan members hunting across the borders. But his concessions and tolerance had not earned his daughter a shred of decent treatment. Loki deserved to die, and the Snow Wolf Clan Leader, Soro, deserved it even more.

”Loki, if I catch any Snow Wolf Clan males hunting in Golden Dragon Clan territory again, I’ll kill every last one of them.”

Crossing borders to hunt was an unforgivable offense to begin with. If caught and killed, there was nothing to complain about.

”Now get out! Take your beloved and your ungrateful little brat and get out of here!”

Watching the farce unfold with an amused glint in his eye, Klein finally released Loki.

He glanced back at Ophelia. The young female’s face was impassive, looking as though she were a detached bystander and none of this had anything to do with her. Or perhaps her heart had been broken so deeply that the wounds had callused over, rendering her indestructible. Any other young female in this situation would have gone mad, if not completely lost her mind. Yet this one possessed a resilient spirit and remained entirely composed. Had she not been mated before, he might have even added her to his list of potential mate candidates.

Having exhausted herself from the spanking, Ali shoved Amy aside. ”You’re going to regret this one day.”
