Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld

Chapter 119 Even Beast Fear the Strong

Lela cradled Big White's head in her hands, looking into his eyes with disapproval. "Big White, you can't be doing that, you can't just pounce on people you see." Sensing the sternness in Lela's voice, Big White's deep blue eyes shimmered. With a whine, he lowered his head, the picture of dejection and reluctance. His hefty paws scuffed the grass below.

Lela, realizing she might have been too harsh, pressed her forehead against Big White's and softened her tone. "Big White, I know what happened in the past has left you distrusting humans, but not all people are bad. Take them, for example. Cicery has always been under their protection. They're just like you, trying to keep Cicery safe."

"The days of the Holy Light Tribe are gone; we're living in a world of modern civilization now. I want to protect you, to help you thrive in this new world. I want you, Big White, to be there for Cicery always. Do you understand?" "From now on, Big White, you can't attack people on a whim, okay?"

Lela's gentle voice soothed Big White's inner turmoil, bit by bit.

After a long moment, Big White let out a soft "woof-woof," as if to acknowledge Lela's words.

Lela rubbed her cheek against the fuzz of Big White's head, whispering, "Thank you for understanding, Big White." Then her voice turned icy, her gaze sharp, "But rest assured, those who have wronged you will pay through Cicery's hands, blood for blood."

Master Sylvester Gomez had been watching from a distance. He walked past Mildred Gomez and Goy Gomez, muttering a scathing, "Foolish morons."

Then striding over to Lela, he scooped her up, shooting Big White a fierce glare, "Had enough hugs?"

As if her man didn't exist?
