The Return of the Beast Princess

Chapter 161 - The alpha of all alphas

"Dumu, can you stop for a bit?"

Dumu slows down and looks back at the cart where his wife is. He was about to check inside the cart when Tarik and Theo rushed out and ran over behind the bushes. Sounds of retching can be heard coming from the two when Asha worriedly peeks out as Dumu help her out of the cart. Corbin morphs to perfect form. He stifles a laugh as he covers himself with his wraparound skirt. The two snake beast men with them have just caught up to where they stopped, catching their breaths as they slump down to the ground, exhausted.

Dumu carries his wife in his arms while looking at the two who are still barfing behind the bushes.

"What happened to those two?"

Asha have her arms around Dumu's neck, watching worriedly at her other two husbands. Theo wipe his mouth with a beast pelt while Tarik is still hunched over, vomiting, "I think they have motion sickness."

"I will just run outside with master on my back if we are going to do that again. I was so dizzy I thought the whole beast world is shaking and breaking apart," Tarik slumps and leans his back at the side of the cart, still heaving as he tries to stop himself from puking.

"Do you want our wife to get sick from the rain? I will endure anything for our wife. Even if it means riding the cart with her inside that fast," Theo nudges Dumu, signaling him to give him some water to wash his face. Dumu waves his hand down and two waterfalls suddenly appear on top of Theo and Tarik separately, drenching them.

Asha looks at Dumu while she shakes her head in disbelief. She hits him playfully on his chest and speaks, "don't be like that husband."

"I just did them a favor. I will not let them get near you because they stink of vomit."

Tarik and Theo look at each other, their hair sticking on their faces. The look of mischief appears on Tarik as he upnods at Theo. He nodded back at him and both changed to their beast forms. Both shook their bodies to shake off all the water on their bodies. The water splashed back at everyone that made Asha squeal while laughing. Dumu turns around to protect Asha from the water.

"Stop it! Hahahaha...."

Asha's laughter brought smiles on the males faces while looking at her. The tiredness and exhaustion that they all feel from the hasty travel disappeared slowly.

The rain has stopped but the dark clouds above them still covers the whole sky. It was nearing dusk, a purplish black sky can be seen behind the dark clouds. Their surroundings is filled with echoes from Asha's laughter and drops of water from leaves falling from the trees.

Her two furry husbands morphed back to their perfect forms when they were done drying themselves. They were putting back their wraparound skirts when Tarik suddenly stopped moving while sniffing and sensing his surroundings.

"We got company."

All the males became alert and surrounded Dumu who hisses to smell the air while holding Asha protectively in his arms.

Deep guttural growls can now be heard as wild gray wolves appear from behind the tall trees and thick bushes. Their group is being surrounded by a pack of wolves, saliva dripping from the sides of their muzzles. The largest of them all has a deep healed scar on its eye. Its sharp canine teeth show as it growls while moving forward. Tarik growls in return as he moves forward, his hands becoming claws.

"I am the gray wolves' warrior leader. The mate of our alpha. How dare you lowly wild wolves bare your fangs at me?"

It seems that the pack's alpha isn't frightened as it continues to circle their group. It is not even looking at Tarik but its gaze has been glued entirely at Asha who is also staring at it.
