Spoiled By My Nine Beast Husbands (Emma Tibarn) novel Chapter 38

**When She Opened the Door to the Life She Was Afraid to Live by Nora Vale Kingsley**

“Emma, let’s go hunt some beasts.” Edric’s voice resonated with a quiet assurance, slicing through the chaos around them as effortlessly as a knife through butter. The creatures that surrounded them, once formidable in their presence, now seemed to shrink away, their threats reduced to mere whispers.

“Look over there.” Emma pointed with determination toward a group of level 5 beasts lurking in the distance. “I want to take those down myself.”

With Edric standing guard at her side, she felt an exhilarating rush of freedom. This was her moment to unleash her full potential, to test her limits, and to emerge stronger than ever before.

“Understood.” He nodded, a blend of obedience and fierce focus written across his features. His massive tail coiled protectively around her, guiding her through the tumultuous battlefield before gently depositing her onto solid ground.

“Have fun,” he murmured, his voice low and reassuring. “You’re safe with me.”

“I know. I trust you,” she replied, locking eyes with him, a silent affirmation of their bond.

As Edric’s presence began to recede, the oppressive weight that had blanketed the battlefield lifted like a fog, revealing the level 5 beasts that had been cowering just moments ago. They rose shakily to their feet, blissfully unaware that they had just sealed their own fates.

Beneath Emma’s boots, water shimmered like liquid glass, rippling outward in graceful waves. Sparks of blue lightning danced across the surface, pulsing with a vibrant, lethal energy that crackled in the air.

Edric’s eyes widened in surprise. Ms. Tibarn possesses dual abilities?

Such a phenomenon was exceedingly rare; a female with dual abilities was the stuff of legends, tales told in hushed tones around campfires.

Across the clearing, Damian hurled the last of the level 7 beasts toward Laura’s squad, his movements fluid and precise. He turned just in time to witness Emma navigating through the fray, lightning and water swirling around her like a tempest unleashed.

He sprinted toward her, urgency propelling him forward, but before he could reach her, Edric’s tail lashed out, striking him with the force of a battering ram.

Damian hit the ground hard, rolling to absorb the impact before rising, a snarl escaping his lips.

Edric remained unfazed, his expression stoic. “Emma said she wants to handle these herself.”

If she hadn’t been watching, that fox would already be buried.

Emma? A knot twisted in Damian’s gut. This blasted snake actually dared to call Ms. Tibarn by her name.

“She’s Rank 4,” Damian snapped, stepping forward, his tone sharp and edged with concern. “You’re really letting her take on level 5 beasts solo? What if she gets hurt?”

Edric’s voice was cold and unyielding. “If Ms. Tibarn gets injured, can you handle that? Move aside. I’ll back her up.”

Edric stood firm, unyielding as a mountain. “With me here, she won’t.”

He understood perfectly well what Damian was attempting—trying to flaunt his prowess in front of her.

Their gazes clashed, and the air between them crackled with raw energy, tension palpable.

“Move,” Damian growled, his voice low and dangerous.
