I Dumped My Mate—Now Every Beast King Wants Me

Chapter 62: Chapter 62: She Also Wants to Go to the Golden Dragon Clan!

”Don’t worry. We don’t have medicine now, but we will soon. When the time comes, both your brother and the others in the clan will be saved,” Loki said softly, holding Miche’s hand and pulling her to sit on the stone bench beside him.

Seeing Loki’s secretive demeanor, Miche felt much more at ease. Curious, she asked, ”Loki, what do you mean by that?”

”The Golden Dragon Clan has agreed to provide us with herbal medicine.”

Miche’s eyes widened in surprise. ”Really? Is Ophelia that kind-hearted?”

”Hmph, of course she isn’t. She is giving us the medicine on one condition,” Loki scoffed coldly.

”What condition?” Miche felt a bit nervous, worried that Ophelia might make some unreasonable demand. She had finally managed to drive that woman out; she didn’t want Ophelia finding an excuse to come back.

”She wants ten young females from the Snow Wolf Clan, or half of our tribe’s territory.” Loki never hid anything from Miche.

Miche stared in disbelief. ”How could Ophelia be so bold? That’s too greedy! Even though you’ve broken off your mate bond with her, she still lived with the Snow Wolf Clan. How could she do such a thing?”

”Don’t be angry. We had no other choice,” Loki said, patting the back of Miche’s hand to soothe her. ”I’ve already discussed it with my father and the elders. We will send over the severely ill young females as their contribution to the tribe. Once our tribe recovers in the future, we’ll just bring them back.”

This way, they could exchange for medicine while having the Golden Dragon Clan raise their young females for free. It was killing two birds with one stone, and both outcomes were beneficial to the Snow Wolf Clan.

”So rest assured, your brother will be fine.” Loki held Miche’s hand solemnly, his eyes full of determination. As long as it was something Miche wanted, he would do everything in his power to satisfy her.

Hearing Loki’s words, Miche’s eyes flickered. Other thoughts began to form in her mind.

The Golden Dragon Clan was a High-level Tribe. The males there were incredibly powerful—leaps and bounds stronger than a Wolf Beast like Loki.

If she could use this opportunity to go to the Golden Dragon Clan and win over its males, her future life would undoubtedly be far better than staying by Loki’s side. If she could even manage to become mates with Laxus, not even Ophelia would be a match for her.

The thought of no longer having to humbly follow Loki filled her heart with intense excitement.

”Loki, you saved my brother. I truly don’t know how to thank you.” As she spoke, Miche let exactly two perfectly timed tears fall.

”Silly girl, it’s what I ought to do.” Loki immediately became flustered. He couldn’t bear to see Miche cry.

Miche probed indirectly, ”Have the young females going to the Golden Dragon Clan been chosen yet?”

”Not yet, but it’ll probably be those few.”

There were many severely ill young females in the clan, so picking a few to send to the Golden Dragon Clan shouldn’t be difficult. However, his father and the elders still needed to deliberate on exactly who to send. After all, they were all from the same tribe, and everyone had relatives or connections.

”Ophelia is simply going too far!” Miche put on an indignant expression. Her eyes grew red, making her look exactly like an angry little rabbit. ”She must have done this on purpose. Otherwise, why would she make such an outrageous demand at a time like this?”

”It’s alright. This is only a temporary hardship. When the time comes, I’ll make her pay it all back.” Loki pulled Miche into his arms by her shoulders, his eyes brimming with unconcealed affection.

Miche suddenly pulled back from his embrace and met his gaze with deep emotion. ”Is she making things difficult for you because she’s angry with me? It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, she wouldn’t have made such an unreasonable demand of the Snow Wolf Clan.”

”Don’t blame yourself. It’s just her being too cruel,” Loki comforted Miche, the resentment in his heart toward Ophelia growing even stronger.

Miche excitedly grabbed Loki’s hands, her tone earnest. ”If Ophelia is truly using this method to pressure the Snow Wolf Clan because of me... Loki, I’m willing to volunteer to go to the Golden Dragon Clan to share your burden. As long as Ophelia’s anger can be quelled, I’ll do anything.”

The more she acted this way, the more Loki’s heart ached for her.

Why was his Miche always so pitiful and endearing, while Ophelia always loved to oppose him?! He absolutely refused to let his beloved be sent to the Golden Dragon Clan to suffer.

”No. Anyone can go, but I won’t let you.”

Ophelia hated Miche so much that she had even dared to bully her right under his nose. Sending Miche to the Golden Dragon Clan would undoubtedly be like tossing a sheep into a tiger’s den—offering her up on a silver platter. Ophelia certainly wouldn’t pass up such a great opportunity. By then, he wouldn’t be by Miche’s side. Who knew what kind of torment Ophelia would subject her to?

”No, Loki. This matter started because of me, so it should end with me. I am the most suitable candidate to go to the Golden Dragon Clan.” Miche looked resolute, as if her mind was completely made up.

”If you go to the Golden Dragon Clan, what will happen if you get mistreated? Say no more, I won’t let you go,” Loki refused coldly. No matter what, he would never let Miche go.

”But Ophelia is only making things difficult for the Snow Wolf Clan because of me,” Miche insisted stubbornly. ”If you don’t let me go, I won’t be able to live with the guilt. I don’t want to implicate the Snow Wolf Clan because of myself, nor do I want to implicate you.”

After she spoke, a single tear slid from the corner of Miche’s eye.

This tear was timed to perfection, sliding straight into Loki’s heart.

”You can’t go. I don’t want you to be wronged.” Allowing his beloved young female to be mistreated would mean he was incompetent.

”I can’t harm the entire Snow Wolf Clan just for my own sake!” Miche felt anxious when she saw Loki hesitating to agree.

Why was this man so stubborn?

She absolutely refused to let Loki hinder her perfect chance to latch onto the Golden Dragon Clan. No matter what, she had to go there.

”With me here, no one in the clan will gossip about you,” Loki declared confidently. He was the future leader of the Snow Wolf Clan. If anyone dared to utter a single word against Miche, he would have them banished. By then, no one would dare disrespect her.

From an angle Loki couldn’t see, a flash of malice crossed Miche’s eyes.

In her eyes, Loki was nothing more than a stepping stone. Once he outlived his usefulness, she would kick him aside without mercy. The only reason she hadn’t turned her back on him yet was entirely because he still had some value to exploit.

”If you refuse, I’ll bash my head against the wall and apologize with my death! That’s the only way to ease the guilt in my heart.” Saying that, Miche stood up and made a show of rushing toward the wall to bash her head against it.

”Miche, why must you go to such extremes?” Loki lunged forward and pulled her back. Had he been half a second slower, Miche’s head would have been a bloody mess.

Miche buried her face in Loki’s chest, weeping pitifully. ”But I don’t want you to be blamed by the clan members because of me. My heart aches for you.”

”Stop crying. I promise you,” Loki finally yielded in defeat.
