Chapter 185: Feeling bad
FOX TRIBE
"Please open the door, Michael" Lexi said while banging the wooden door with her fists. With her constant knocking, her hands turned red but she didn’t stop. She couldn’t stop. How could she when her Michael was silently suffering beyond those closed doors?
She blamed herself again and again for his predicament. If only she hadn’t listened to her father and canceled her spousal mark, then he wouldn’t be suffering like this. After that day in the ice room, Michael didn’t return to the stray beasts and instead stayed back in the fox tribe. And the worse started from there. Lexi never thought that being a stray beast was this painful.
Every night he screamed while painfully clutching his chest and Lexi could only watch because she was incapable of helping him.
"Michael, please....tell me what is happening. I can’t help you if you remain silent"
Michael felt his heart clench painfully hearing her earnest plea. He could see that she was hurting as much as he was. But he couldn’t dare explain what was happening to him. How could he say that his excruciating pain would diminish if he slept with a female? Every one of the stray beastman went through the same pain as him and the only way to stop it was by mating. The solution was only temporary because the pain in their chest would return the next day. This was also their reason for capturing the females and forcing themselves on them. In the heat of the moment, they would lose their rationale and end up taking out their anger or killing the females.
They did this to other females to keep thier own females safe. Even during thier rut, they did not dare seek out the females that abandoned them, They loved their females so much for them to harm them.
Michael was currently going through the same phase. He had already promised his beloved that he wouldn’t return to the stray beasts so the only thing he could do now is go through this pain. So he locked himself in a room when he felt the familiar ache in his chest. Even by mistake, he did not want to bring harm to his mate.
"Lexi.....Please leave...." I can’t control myself for a long time and might hurt you. So, please. The last sentence remained inside his throat and didn’t come out.
