Nina... I’ve been searching for you for so long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every day he had worried about her, thinking of her constantly. He hadn’t eaten or slept well, and he had grown visibly thinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and Ghost Wolf had agreed in advance on a signaling method—whoever found her first would immediately send word. Even though they had split up, they hadn’t scattered too far apart. If a message had been sent, it should have reached him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. Sal must have deliberately withheld the message, trying to shake him off and monopolize Nina for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe the message just didn’t get through,\" Nina said, not thinking too much about it. Her own wounds already felt much better. \"Please check on Kith first. He’s badly hurt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she finished speaking, Kith finally lost consciousness. He shifted back into human form and collapsed toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina caught him quickly. Seeing the vicious wounds covering his body, her eyes burned with unshed tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yanai, hurry—treat him,\" she urged anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanai immediately activated his power. His healing ability also enhanced the effect of the medicine Kith had swallowed. Very soon, Kith’s condition stabilized considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he was steady enough to move, they brought him back to the tribe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the room, Kith leaned weakly against the head of the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina intended to let him rest. \"You should sleep. We won’t disturb you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Summoning his courage, Kith reached out and grasped her hand. His voice was faint but pleading. \"Nina... could you stay with me for a while?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pale face and vulnerable expression made it impossible for her to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t pull away. \"Alright. I’ll stay and take care of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had taken those wounds for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kith smiled faintly, then glanced at Odian and the others. \"You don’t need to stay. There must be a lot to handle outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Odian and the others clenched their jaws silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That damned tiger—playing the sympathy card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanai muttered inwardly. He had already healed most of Kith’s injuries. He wasn’t that weak. The man was clearly exaggerating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them wanted to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kith looked at Nina pitifully. \"It feels a little stuffy with so many people here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina considered it. He had a point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don’t you all head out first?\" she suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she had spoken, they had no choice but to comply, though they were reluctant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And take the cubs to feed them,\" Kith added softly. \"They must be hungry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina checked the time. It was indeed close to feeding time. She nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Odian and the others shot Kith dark looks but carried the cubs out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the room was quiet, leaving only Nina and Kith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Kith, simply being alone with her felt like a gift. Even sitting in silence beside her filled him with quiet contentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere grew a little too still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you thirsty?\" Nina asked gently. \"Would you like some water?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kith almost said no, but he feared she might feel awkward and leave. He nodded. \"A little.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reluctantly, he released her hand. She poured him a cup and passed it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drank slowly and set it aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After letting go, he didn’t dare take her hand again. His fingers twitched faintly, his expression dim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to lie down?\" Nina asked. \"Or close your eyes and rest?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kith shook his head. \"No. I want to look at you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he closed his eyes, he wouldn’t see her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sincerity in his gaze made her ears warm. \"Then... let’s talk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anything you like,\" he said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She searched for a topic. \"Do you have any hobbies?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since arriving, he had spent all his time taking care of her and Yinny. She couldn’t recall him doing anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought for a moment. \"Before... I didn’t have many hobbies. I preferred finding a quiet place to train and grow stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes softened. \"Now, my hobby is taking care of you. Making you happy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face flushed. Why did he always say things like that so straightforwardly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kith inhaled deeply and gathered his courage. He reached for her hand again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina... will you give me a chance to take care of you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t dare hope to become her official mate. Even being her guardian without a title would satisfy him. He would accept it for a lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were filled with earnest devotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina felt herself drawn in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought of everything he had done quietly for her, his constant attentiveness, the way he had stepped in front of her without hesitation when danger struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t pretend to be unmoved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps... giving him a chance wasn’t such a bad idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips curved gently. \"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kith froze. \"Really? Nina... I—I didn’t mishear?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She laughed softly. \"You didn’t. I said yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joy flooded him so suddenly his hands trembled. \"Thank you, Nina. I swear—I will protect you with my life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had waited so long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He longed to embrace her but didn’t dare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the yearning in his eyes, Nina leaned forward and wrapped her arms around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then recover quickly,\" she teased softly. \"Take good care of Yinny and me. If you perform well, I might make it official.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she hugged him, his breath caught. He hugged her back carefully at first—then couldn’t help holding her tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Official... you mean... becoming mates?\" he asked, his voice shaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" she confirmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears welled in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had truly been given hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina, I’ll devote everything to you. I swear to the Beast God.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t expected him to be this emotional. She patted his back gently as he held her, as if he never wanted to let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That evening, Nina invited Lex and his mermen to dinner and gifted them beast crystals in gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lex parted his lips as though to say something but ultimately remained silent. He left with his people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days later, Lang came to report new information about elemental stones. He had located another mutated beast group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kith considered it carefully. \"We’ll plan later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, he needed to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lang was concerned about Kith’s injuries—but even more curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of female could make their city lord fall so completely?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He resolved to find an opportunity to secretly see her for himself—to witness the extraordinary woman who had captured Kith’s heart so utterly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1079,"2026-06-03T08:29:56.682Z","2026-06-03T08:30:03.515Z",1,"novelbin.me","68b3d54a7e239f4b55edd7ed8c13ead9c715e00307ea29215938794d5f2620b5","after-giving-birth-all-my-beast-ex-husbands-sudd-chapter-118","after-giving-birth-all-my-beast-ex-husbands-sudd-chapter-116",299,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-giving-birth-all-my-beast-ex-husbands-sudd-cover.jpg"]
