Spoiled By My Nine Beast Husbands (Emma Tibarn) novel Chapter 90

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

Emma was the first to regain her senses, her heart racing as she pushed Corvin away with all her might, like a woman caught in a moment of betrayal. “Edric, I can explain!” she blurted out, panic rising in her chest.

“Damn it, not now, mouth! Don’t mess this up!” she thought, her inner voice chiding her.

“Edric, please, just give me a moment! It’s not what it seems!” she pleaded, desperation lacing her tone.

Corvin, bewildered and hurt, reached out hesitantly, “Ms. Tibarn…”

“Just hold on a second!” Emma waved him off, her attention fully consumed by the need to clarify her situation to Edric.

“It’s alright, Emma,” Edric’s voice was steady, calm, and soothing, like a gentle breeze on a sweltering day. “I only called to let you know that Corvin’s recovery is progressing well. He should be back to normal soon.”

Earlier, during their video call, Edric had observed Corvin’s improving condition. It was a relief, but in the chaos of the moment, he had forgotten to mention it. Now, as he recalled that conversation, he found himself thrust into an unexpected scene.

“Well… I guess you’re aware now,” he said, his voice tightening as he spoke. “I’ll let you two carry on. I wouldn’t want to intrude.”

The final words of his statement wavered, heavy with unspoken emotions. He had always anticipated this day—the day when Emma would no longer be solely his. Yet, he hadn’t expected it to arrive so abruptly.

After a brief silence, he added softly, “Emma, Corvin has just recovered. If he gets too excited, he might lose control, so… please be careful. Don’t let him hurt you.”

The implication of his words sent a shiver down Emma’s spine. It felt so wrong. She wanted to cry out, to protest, “I didn’t do anything wrong!”

Seeing the wounded expression in Edric’s eyes twisted her heart. “Edric, please believe me! Nothing happened! It’s a complete misunderstanding, I swear. Corvin just recovered suddenly and didn’t have time to get dressed. You have to trust me!”

She was on the verge of swearing to the heavens, desperate for him to understand.

“I promised I would bond with you first, remember? I meant every word, Edric—you have to believe me!”

Nothing would shake her determination. The first bond had to be with Edric; it was a vow she intended to keep.

Her words struck a chord deep within him. Even now, she clung to her promise. Yet, guilt began to creep in—he hated that she was waiting for him in this way.

“Emma,” he said gently, “I might need more time to progress to the next rank. If you’re in a hurry, you don’t have to wait for me. All of us are your suitors—whoever treats you well… I-I won’t mind.”

“I’m not in a hurry!” she interjected, her voice firm.
