New law of Beast Taming-Chapter 449 - 450: Stepping into the past [pt2]

"I cannot believe…I had to hear these words in my life. Oh man, Kori would have a blast if she ever saw me on the receiving end of these words. She always said that I am too emotionally constipated to hold on to things."

Amane laughed out loud but felt a flinch in her chest once the words registered inside her heart.

For the first time, Amane was allowed to make a home for the people from her past. But instead of being helpful, it turned out to be something that caused her trouble.

Neither Kristia nor Melissa knew what to say in this situation. So, they chose to remain quiet. This was their best choice since Amane’s mood had soured considerably.

Finally, Kristia broke the mood while he approached the sealed mansion. He placed his hand against the barrier and was instantly rejected by it.

"Looks like the security system will not allow me to enter. We will have to force our entry from a weak spot."

Kristia mentioned before, he rubbed his burned hand. His recovery was amazing, but that did not mean his hand did not hurt.

The barrier was placed here to stop intruders from entering, but Amane knew how to handle it. She slowly approached the barrier and watched as her two partners tensed up.

She did not reach the barrier before her hand was grabbed, and Amane was pulled back harshly. Her back collided with a solid chest, and she looked up into Mellisa’s familiar eyes.

Melissa looked pained as she held Amane back from doing what Amane wanted. But it was clear that Melissa did not want to see her getting hurt.

"Don’t! Amane, don’t head toward the barrier. You want to touch the barrier to confirm its state, but you see what it did to Kristia. You will get burned if you touch this barrier. You are a normal human, and I do not want to see you hurt."

Melissa warned Amane with a heavy heart. The burn Kristia sustained was not big, but Melissa still wanted Amane to be safe. Amane stirred her instincts as no one had ever before.

This was the first time she felt like this, and Melissa had no way to hold herself back. She could only follow these overwhelming emotions and allow them to lead her.

’I think I am losing my mind slowly. There is no need for me to be this concerned about Amane. And yet, I cannot help but want to hold her tight and pull her into my arms. What is wrong with me?’

Melissa could not figure it out. She could not figure out what to do with herself either. She knew that she was falling in love with Amane.

But it had not even been a few days since they met. How could someone fall for the other this fast? This made Melissa doubt Amane and her intentions. Was the outsider performing some kind of magic on her?

"The barrier is temporarily down. I tampered with it a little so we could enter and exit safely. But we need to hurry because this tempering will not last. This is a self-healing barrier."

Amane’s sharp words cut through Melissa’s thoughts, and she watched in fascination as Amane pulled her unharmed hand back from the barrier.

"You stupid child. Why would you reach out toward the barrier after you saw what it did to my hand? Do you have a death wish or something?"

Kristia asked while reaching for Amane’s hand and examining it. He pulled it up to see if anything hurt. Melissa felt a growl build up inside her throat at the frustration that built up inside her heart.

’How dare Kristia touch what is mine? I will serve all his limbs and use them as soup. He will know the true meaning of pain and…’

Melissa forcefully stopped her thoughts. She was not even aware that she could think of such destructive things. It made her heart beat painfully inside her chest, and Melissa clutched it.

"Just what was I thinking? Kristia had been with me for so many years now. How could I think of harming him?"

Melissa’s brain was spinning, and she could not think of anything but grabbing Amane’s hand and pulling the female into her arms. Melissa needed to own Amane at all costs.

"Melissa, are you alright? You look a little flushed. You are not coming down with anything, right?"

Amane asked as she leaned closer to Melissa and lightly touched her head.

Melissa flinched when that cold hand touched her head before she pulled back. She looked at Amane’s eyes, and all her anger and disappointment flushed away from her face.

’I don’t know what about Amane, but I feel safe and warm when she is with me. I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with her.’

As these thoughts crossed Melissa’s mind, she knew what was happening. She had a crush, and her biology tried forcing her to mate.

Her concentration would not return until Melissa had buried herself balls deep into Amane’s body and painted her insides white.

"Melissa, do you need to rest? I am sure that there is a place you can lie down in if you want to."

Amane placed her hand on Melissa’s shoulder. That contact burned, and Melissa bit her lip to hold her moan back. She did not want to show her lacking self in front of Amane. She needed to show that she was strong.

"No, I am alright. The Tsurugi mansion is a little weird and has too many smells. But I will get used to it soon…"

Amane hoped to get used to it all, but it might take some time. After all, she did not want to risk exposing her growing crush. She needed to hold herself back from pouncing on Amane.

They headed inside the barrier, and Amane led them to the main mansion. It stood intact and had a solid frame. The security system on the wall was electronic, and no one in their group knew the password.

At least, no one was supposed to know the password until Amane walked up to the gate and punched the password in.

The door opened for them with an ominous creak. It felt like they were in a horror movie, and this was the part where the antagonist revealed he had been killing people.

Amane also turned toward the pair behind her with an awkward air around her. It was enough to solidify that something was wrong.

The non-human pair in front of Amane held their breaths while waiting for Amane to say something.

"Melissa, are you sure you are alright? You are pale and shaking. You should head to a room if you are feeling unwell."

Amane stressed this again, and Melissa knew she was reaching her limits. Walking had become difficult for her due to a past injury, but it did not bother her most of the time.

Something about this mansion and the way energy flowed inside it was weird.

"Miss, shall I prepare a room for you? You just need to command, and this head maid will take care of everything."

The trio stiffened as soon as they heard that new voice. They turned to look at the mirage where a shadow bowed.

It had sounded human, but the appearance was anything but so.

’Ah, this is an echo of the past. All the shadows we will meet here died a long time ago. I can only interact with their shadows now.’

Amane looked at the head maid with a longing expression. She hated that she would never be able to say farewell to everyone she knew.

She had miraculously managed to crawl her way back, and for what? For the people who died a long time ago?

"Amane, are you alright? You do not have to force yourself to be here if you do not want to. You head to our base, and I am sure no one would say anything about it. I will take full responsibility for what happened here."

Melissa offered, and Amane knew that this was a great offer. She would likely not get a better offer than this one.

But her heart warned Amane not to do it. Amane breathed a sigh of relief as her senses slowly returned to her.

"No, there will be no need for that. I can endure a few hours of running around the Tsurugi mansion. But before that, I think we should take care of your body. I know that you are beginning to feel uncomfortable."

That was true. Saying that Melissa was uncomfortable was a gross understatement. Melissa was feeling hot, and her chest hurt. She needed some relief, but she had been getting by with the hold of her willpower alone.

"Melissa, are you sick? You should have told me. Heck! You should have stayed back; we could have taken off this mission. There was no need for you to push yourself."

Kristia sounded worried, and for good reasons. He had not even noticed that Melissa was sick or getting tired. He had been more tied up in his situation than he had been keeping an eye on what was happening.

"Huh? How did you know that I felt out of it? When did you notice? I tried so hard to hide it all this time. But since you noticed anyway, help me out. I want to lie down before I do something I regret."

Melissa begged as she allowed her expression to collapse. She looked desperate now, and Amane quickly took her to the bedrooms nearest to her.
