The Cherished Pet of Nine Beast Husbands

Chapter 399 Dahlia's Hatred

They didn't go anywhere. Lucien had people test it a few times, but they found nothing wrong. "Then what should we do now?" Lily grew anxious. "I suffered so much. Am I supposed to let it end like this?" She felt unwilling. She had been taken by the Chitinids because of Lucien and had been badly injured. She could not accept it if she did not become Lucien's mate. "Calm down first. I didn't say we would end it here." Dahlia held back the urge to strangle Lily and tried to comfort her. "We have no chance to do anything on the warship. We can only wait until we return." "But when we get back, will I even get to see Lucien again?" Lily still felt unhappy. She and Lucien had barely interacted before.It would be even harder to see him after they returned. This idiot. Dahlia cursed her in her mind and then reminded her. "Did you forget about Malrik? Malrik and Lucien are both Emma's mates now. You can use Malrik to get close to Emma. Once you get close to Emma, you're basically close to Lucien." "Right. How did I forget about Emma?" When she mentioned Emma, Lily's face filled with jealousy. "I really don't get how Emma got so lucky. Matching with my brother wasn't enough. She even matched with Lucien." Dahlia smiled and touched Lily's face. "Don't be angry. Once you get close to Emma and make her trust you, Lucien, Drake, and all the strong people around her can all become yours." Lily's eyes lit up. She grabbed Dahlia's hand and asked with excitement, "Then will Marshal Calum also be mine?""Who?" Dahlia's smile froze. It was like she had heard something impossible. She thought she was hearing things. She grabbed Lily's hand with force. Her grip was so strong that Lily's knuckles turned white. Dahlia's voice also turned sharp. "Who? Say it again." "It hurts. Dahlia, you are hurting me!" Lily felt sharp pain in her wrist. Her delicate face turned pale, and tears gathered in her eyes. Dahlia snapped out of it and let go right away. She pushed down the storm inside her and tried to soothe Lily with a gentle smile. "I got too emotional. Don't be mad, Lily. Tell me who you just mentioned." Lily rubbed her red wrist with frustration. "I said Marshal Calum." "Calum…"It really is Calum. She had not misheard. The name stabbed into Dahlia's chest like a poisoned needle. Her breathing turned heavy. She stared at Lily and asked slowly, "Wasn't Calum already dead? Why would you bring him up?" Lily opened her lightcore and showed Dahlia a message. "My mom sent this to me half an hour ago. She just got the intel. She said Emma matched with a new mate, and it was Calum, who came back from the dead." Lily did not notice the ugly look on Dahlia's face and kept talking. "My mom also said Calum went to Beast God Mountain five years ago. Not only did he not die, but he even came back alive. She told me to tell you to find a way to make Calum my mate too." Lily did not really like Calum. His reputation was terrible. People said he had mood swings and killed people when upset. They said he was no different from a space bandit.But Celia said Calum had status, power, and influence. With him, she could get everything she wanted. If she married him, she could live without fear anywhere in the Empire. Dahlia did not hear anything after that. Her ears buzzed. Her mind held only one name. "Calum." It echoed again and again like a curse. A wave of hatred surged through her and almost burned away her calm. "He did not die." Calum actually didn't die. "Dahlia, are you okay?" Lily asked with concern. Lily saw her twisted expression and took a step back. Why does Dahlia look so scary? Dahlia reacted at once. She hid her expression and gave Lily a smile. "I'm fine, Lily." Lily did not really believe her. She asked, "Dahlia, do you know Marshal Calum?" Dahlia only looked like that after Lily mentioned him. "I do know him." The hatred rose again when she said his name. She could not push it down. Lily stared at her. "But aren't you a human female? How would you know Marshal Calum?" Lily had heard from her mom that Dahlia was a human female who had only recently shown up on Central Planet. Calum had gone into Beast God Mountain five years ago.
