After Giving Birth, All My Beast Ex-Husbands Suddenly Want Me Back

Odian and the others turned toward Lina, their gazes icy.

Startled by the sharp hostility in their eyes, she instinctively took a few steps back, suddenly too intimidated to speak.

Why did it feel like they despised her?

She had shown them goodwill before. She hadn’t done anything else.

Odian and Sal exchanged a glance with Ridan and the ghost wolves, who quietly moved behind Lina without drawing attention.

Their expressions were cold.

This female would be left for Nina to deal with.

***

After leaving the city lord’s residence, Nina found a quiet place to remove her cloak. Aviel and Idir shifted back into human form and followed at her side.

Aviel held her hand as they walked back toward their lodging.

Lina, still uneasy yet unwilling to give up, suddenly noticed the children playing nearby.

Could some of them belong to those males?

Perhaps she could get close to them through the children.

She walked over, smiling sweetly. "Whose children are these? They’re all so adorable."

That part, at least, was genuine.

They truly were beautiful, especially the little mermaid girl, who was breathtakingly delicate.

A flicker of jealousy stirred in her heart.

What kind of female was lucky enough to have such stunning children?

The children glanced at her once, then scattered, clearly unwilling to let her approach.

Their fathers didn’t like this female.

That meant she must be a bad one.

Lina’s smile stiffened, irritation rising. She suddenly lunged toward Didi, trying to grab him.

Didi dodged nimbly, slipping away in an instant,and blew a burst of fire at her for good measure.

He wasn’t about to let a bad female touch him.

"Ah!"

She stumbled back, barely avoiding it, but the ends of her hair were still singed.

Fury flared. "How dare you hurt me!"

She turned to the males trailing behind her. "Go! Catch him for me!"

None of them moved.

They only looked at her with thinly veiled disdain.

Was she stupid?

They were here to monitor her, not obey her.

Besides, those males were clearly powerful. No one was foolish enough to provoke them.

Lina waited, but not a single one responded. Rage burned in her chest as she glared at Didi.

These useless males!

Didi stuck out his tongue at her and went back to playing with his brothers.

Seeing no reaction, she had no choice but to give up.

Taking a breath, she gathered her courage and approached Odian and the others again, her tone turning haughty.

"Has your female been exiled? If you follow me, I can take you to a better city. You won’t have to suffer in this Barbarian City."

If politeness didn’t work, she wouldn’t bother pretending anymore.

Odian and the others glanced at her as if she were a fool.

Did they look like they were suffering?

Did they look like exiles?

They couldn’t even be bothered to respond, their attention already drifting toward the direction of the city lord’s residence.

Then they saw her.

That familiar figure.

Their eyes lit up instantly, and they all strode forward at once.

Yanai turned and entered the hall, pouring a cup of warm water for Nina.

The children ran toward her happily.

Nina arrived just in time to hear Lina’s words.

That voice...

That face...

Recognition flashed across her eyes, followed by a sharp, chilling glint.

Lina Song, my so-called sister. So it’s really you.

Lina saw Odian and the others walking toward her with smiles and felt a surge of triumph.

See?

With just a little temptation, they were already yielding.

She lifted her chin, ready to bask in it.

But in the next moment, they passed her without even a glance, walking straight past her to the person behind.

Her smile froze.

She turned sharply, anger twisting her features, and met a face so stunning it stole her breath.

She froze.

This...this was their female?

She was so beautiful.

And that female from before had claimed she was ugly.

Her fingers dug into her palms.

Jealousy crept in like vines, silent and suffocating, tightening around her heart with every passing second.

"So what if she’s pretty? She was still exiled."

"Nina, you’re back." Relief flooded the males’ faces the moment they saw her return unharmed.

The children rushed into her arms. "Mother."

Lina froze when she heard that name. This female...was also called Nina?

Hmph. Any female with that name was detestable.

"She’s just an exiled female. And you treat her like this?" Lina sneered bitterly. "How could someone like her compare to a noble-born female?"

So cold to her, yet so warm to this woman.

"Oh? And being a noble female makes you so impressive?" Nina said lightly, a faint smile playing at her lips.

At the sound of that familiar voice, Lina’s eyes widened. "You...you...you are..."

"Lina Song. What, you don’t recognize me?" Nina’s tone dripped with mockery.

She hadn’t even had time to look for her. And yet she had delivered herself right to her doorstep.

Lina stumbled back, disbelief written all over her face. "No...that’s impossible. Your face..."

Nina had been hideous. How could she become this beautiful?

Nina stepped closer. "Impossible? Can’t you at least recognize my voice?"

Lina shook her head frantically, her composure crumbling. "No. You’re not her. You must be fake."

Aviel glanced at her. "Nina, is she the one who framed you?"

"Yes. That’s her."

"Nina, I’ll kill her for you," Kith said coldly.

He remembered the words about Nina’s younger sister who constantly bullied her.

So it was this one.

"No. Killing her is too easy," Sal said, his voice dark. "Better to cut off her limbs and leave her in the Wildlands for others to watch."

"A fitting idea," Finch added coolly. "We should assign someone to make sure she doesn’t die too quickly."

"And stab her once a day," Dian said, smiling faintly. "Just not enough to kill her."

He didn’t know all the details, but anyone who hurt Nina deserved the cruelest punishment.

"Nina, what do you want to do? We’ll follow your lead," Odian said gently, holding her other hand.

Lina stared at them in horror.

These men, so striking and refined, were speaking such brutal words without hesitation.

And all of it...for Nina.

Her gaze shifted to the bond marks on their foreheads, then to the children.

Jealousy exploded within her.

Her nails dug into her palms.

Those powerful, beautiful males all belonged to Nina.

She even had children.

How was she worthy?

Nina’s eyes turned cold. "Whatever she did to me, I’ll make her repay it double."

"Alright." Odian glanced at Ridan. "Take her."

As Ridan stepped forward, Lina panicked and darted behind the males assigned to guard her. "Help me!"

They immediately moved to shield her.

Though their main task was surveillance, they had also been ordered to ensure her safety if necessary.

Seeing them block the way, Lina regained some confidence and shouted viciously, "Do you even know what she is? She was exiled because she went to the Sin Beast City and slept with those criminals. She’s been lying to all of you!"

Her words were met with silence.

A single heartbeat of stillness.

Clink.

The cup slipped from Yanai’s hand and shattered against the ground.

Nina...was exiled because she went to the Sin Beast City.

She had been there.

His gaze snapped toward Shushu.

The little snow wolf.

Could it be...?

His breathing turned uneven.

Not far away, Setan, who had been about to step forward to help, froze as well.

She had been to the Sin Beast City.

She really had.

His eyes dropped to the little lion cub in her arms.

His heart slammed violently against his chest.

Could it be...?

The air grew heavy.

Something long buried was beginning to surface.
