Chapter 154: Winston Defected
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Parker let out a low growl and dug his claws into the ground. As it was a puddle of water under his front paw, his claws were now filthy and full of wet mud.
Rosa cast a glance at the black eagle and was about to look away when she realized something that made her widen her eyes.
Itâs himâ¦
Rosaâs countenance looked extremely terrible. She roared. âHurry up and attack!â
âRoar!â On that command, the tiger beastmen rushed up in unison.
Rosaâs expression was contorted. This was the third one. Bai Qingqing had snatched three males away from her. She had chosen this three-striped beastman out of the more than ten eagle beastmen of suitable age, as he was the strongest one among them. She used to wonder why this eagle beastman was lukewarm towards her. So it turned out he was bewitched by Bai Qingqing.
Bai Qingqing, you and I are sworn-enemies!
Upon hearing the tiger beastmenâs movements, Winston turned around vigorously. Unlike his usual restrained demeanor, he now exuded the wild and arrogant aura of a powerful beastman.
âRoar!â
The white tiger opened its mouth and let out a deafening roar of anger. The sound made by the tiger beastmen earlier sounded like the meowing of a cat in comparison.
Scared out of their wits, the tigers repeatedly retreated, caught in a fluster all of a sudden.
Bai Qingqing paused in surprise.?Isnât Winston Rosaâs mate? Why is he defecting?
Rosa was caught by surprise too. When she snapped out of her shock, she was consumed by an uncontrollable rage. âWinston! Didnât you say you didnât want to become mates and only wished to be my guardian?â She then sneered. âThereâs no use in you helping her. Why donât you look at your reflection in the water? How can Bai Qingqing possibly fancy you?â
Winstonâs silver eyes shrunk violently. He turned around and looked at Bai Qingqing, who was staring at him in a dazed manner. The eyes of the human and beast met.
Gazing at those clear and innocent eyes, Winston instantly became clear-headed.
[Iâm not planning to become mates, and Iâm also willing to be your guardian. But more importantly, I will protect my beloved female.] Winston blocked before Bai Qingqing like a steady rock, growling the tigerâs language in his deep voice. [When you clash with her, I will forever stand on her side.]
Rosaâs expression changed and she said fiercely, âDonât let me see you appear in the tiger tribe again!â She glared viciously at Bai Qingqing, before kicking the tiger beneath her. âLetâs go.â
Although Rosaâs attitude was aggressive, her mates appeared sad and pathetic.
Rosa, who was spoiled since she was young, had never suffered such humiliation in her entire life. This was all caused by the new female, Bai Qingqing. She swore she wouldnât let Bai Qingqing lead an easy life from now on.
Looking as the enemies left, Curtisâs body lurched forward, feeling pity that he had lost his prey. With the soft, warm, and petite hand in his hand, Curtisâ desire to kill faded. He lifted her up.
âAre you cold?â He asked as he glanced at her feet.
Bai Qingqing shook her head.
Now that the fight was over, the black eagle quietly flew high up into the skies.
Winston gazed at the back views of Rosaâs group as they left. Although his body was still strong, it somehow exuded sadness.
âWinston.â Bai Qingqing called out to him softly. Winston turned around to look at her and responded with a roar.
His voice was much deeper than Parkerâs. Even in that one-syllable word, one could sense his might.
Bai Qingqing said, âRosa forbade you from returning to the tiger tribe. Will you be in trouble? Will the ape king use this opportunity to harm you?â
Winstonâs upper body lowered, before straightening and transforming into a human. With a crop of white, short hair and coupled with the hideous scar on his face, he looked like a prisoner.
âThe ape kingâs strongest assistantâthe wolf kingâis only a four-striped beastman. Based on his capabilities, heâs not able to kill me. Donât worry,â Winston said in his deep voice.
