Spoiled By My Nine Beast Husbands (Emma Tibarn) novel Chapter 92

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

Outside the expansive floor-to-ceiling window, a sinister plume of black smoke twisted and danced against the horizon. It rose ominously, casting a dark shadow over the landscape.

“Fire?!” Emma’s heart raced as she pressed her palms against the cool glass, her eyes widening in disbelief. She could see flames licking at the edges of the forest, while billowing clouds of smoke enveloped the area surrounding their cabin. Panic surged through her veins.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The relentless explosions echoed in her ears, each one reverberating like a drumbeat of impending doom.

What’s happening? What on earth is going on out there? The questions spiraled in her mind like a whirlwind.

Without a moment to lose, Emma hurriedly donned her combat suit, the fabric hugging her body as she moved with urgency. She dashed into the living room, her heart pounding, only to find it empty. “Corvin? Corvin!” she called out, her voice tinged with anxiety.

“Ms. Tibarn. I’m here,” came Corvin’s calm voice from the kitchen.

He emerged, his hands coated in a sticky layer of dough, his hair a chaotic mess with Coalball, their lazy feline companion, perched on his head like an unbothered hat. The cat’s paws were dusted with flour, adding to the absurdity of the scene.

Seeing them both safe, a wave of relief washed over Emma, momentarily easing the tight knot of fear in her stomach. “Corvin, do you know what’s happening outside? What’s with all the explosions?” she demanded, urgency lacing her voice.

Corvin glanced toward the window, annoyance flickering across his features before he turned back to her, his tone gentle yet serious. “Did the fighting wake you, Ms. Tibarn? Edric’s family came to demand money. Edric refused to comply, and now they’re clashing with the alliance.”

“What?!” Emma’s mind struggled to process his words.

So, they just start fighting when they don’t get what they want? How is that any different from robbery?!

“Where’s Edric? Is he back? Is he out there?” she asked, her voice rising with concern. She hesitated to rush outside without understanding the full scope of the chaos.

The alliance headquarters housed powerful Rank 6 and above therian fighters. Emma, as a Rank 4 beginner, would only serve as a hindrance in such a volatile situation.

Corvin shook his head, his expression grave. “Not yet. The alliance notified him. He’s on his way back. As soon as he received the call, he contacted me and instructed me to protect you.”

So, Corvin had remained inside because the danger hadn’t encroached upon their cabin yet. His sole purpose was to keep Emma safe.

“What’s the situation outside now? Do you have any information?” she pressed, her heart racing at the thought of the destruction unfolding just beyond their walls.

From the sound of the explosions, it was clear that if the fighting continued, buildings would crumble, and the entire base could be reduced to rubble.
