Cole looked straight into Elvis’ eyes, “What I said were true!”
Elvis snorted, “If Lea wanted to be her first partner, she would have mated with Xiao Meng last year before the winter, there would not be so much trouble. And… enhancing Sauder’s glory? Ha… What do you think Sauder is to Lea?
Elvis no longer wanted to converse uselessly with Cole, so he stomped on his chest, leaning forward and stared sharp into his eyes, “I’m not killing you because Xiao Meng can’t bear to leave those little cubs, and also because you have accounts to settle with Lea, so I’m leaving you for him. However, I don’t have the best temper, so I hope you will not waste my time like you did today again. Otherwise… as a senior stray beast, I will nicely tell you… why stray beasts make people fear, despise, yet not dare to provoke.”
With that, Elvis kicked Cole away and turned around to leave, not giving Cole any more opportunity to speak.
When he returned to the stone house, Gu Mengmeng had already fallen asleep.
Lea sat outside the stone house, clearly waiting for Elvis. Seeing that he returned, he moved to the side to make some space for him.
“Did he tell you where the little wolves are?” Lea asked.
Elvis shook his head, without a word.
Lea smiled helplessly, “I guessed he wouldn’t say it anyway, looking for you… was most likely so he could sow discord.”
Elvis nodded, “You still made me go even when you knew? What a waste of time…”
Lea shrugged, helplessly replying, “Mengmeng wanted to know about the whereabouts of the little wolves, so as long as there was a slim chance, I was still hoping maybe you could pry open his mouth.”
Elvis looked to the side at Lea, asking, “Aren’t you afraid I would be fooled by him?”
However, Lea was full of smiles as he shrugged and shook his head, “Even if you fully believed him, you wouldn’t kill me. As long as I don’t die and can still stay by Mengmeng’s side, no other costs would matter.”
Elvis raised his eyebrows, “How would you know that I definitely would not kill you?”
Lea nodded, replying certainly, “Mengmeng likes me a little now, so she would definitely be hurt if you killed me. Won’t you avoid doing anything that could make her upset?”
Elvis smiled too, “The adoration has gotten you haughty, huh.”
Lea wagged his big tail, “Thank you for your compliment.”
Elvis turned back to look at Gu Mengmeng who was deep asleep. She had just flipped around, her tiny face facing the entrance. Elvis could not help but soften his gaze as he asked softly, “Seeing the situation today, Cole would probably not tell us the whereabouts of the little wolves, so what do you plan to do next?”
Lea’s gaze was cold as he looked up at the moonlight, “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Back then, he framed me for being excessively doted on by our father, banishing me from the tribe and making me like a rat who was despised by everyone. Today, I will give him a similar punishment for the same thing.”
Elvis looked at Lea, asking, “Do you need me to do anything?”
Lea chuckled, turning his gaze into the house, looking at that sleeping face as he smiled gently, “Protect Mengmeng well, don’t let anyone hurt her in front of us again.”
Elvis nodded without a reply.
Both males did not continue discussing further details, only standing up, having a common goal and returning to the house in sync, one laying on each side of Gu Mengmeng. Their two big tails crossed, protecting Gu Mengmeng fully, allowing her to sleep in their love and care while having a sense of security.
