After the SSS Beast Slave Bites the Hand That Saved Him, I Choose to Watch Him Bleed Chapter 10
Audrey found herself a man she liked.Â
Same one as the past life.Â
A young merchant from town. Wore silk clothes, rode a tall horse, took Audrey everywhere.Â
Audrey was over the moon. She talked about himÂ
for days.Â
Right before the wedding, she did one thing.Â
She walked into the backyard and beckoned toÂ
Gideon.Â
Audrey had a hobby.Â
She liked to see what the inside of a living thingÂ
looked like.Â
And after she was done looking, she’d take aÂ
souvenir.Â
In the past life, she wanted to take Gideon apart.Â
I fought like hell to save him.Â
And Gideon went running to her like she wasÂ
handing out candy.Â
A little later, a scream came from underground.Â
Then the sound of something scratching at the floor.Â
The board leading to the basement cell pushedÂ
open.Â
A paw covered in blood reached out.Â
Gideon crawled out of the dark room andÂ
stretched his hand toward me.Â
Those ten claws, the ones that had once beenÂ
beautiful, the ones that had opened me up–wereÂ
gone.Â
Just raw, bloody stumps remained.Â
Gideon shook as he crawled forward, trying to grab my pant leg with his ruined hands.Â
Theron snatched me up before he could get close.Â
Gideon didn’t even touch the hem of my clothes.Â
He stared at us, two bloody tears running down. his face.Â
How did it come to this?Â
How did everything change after just one do–over?Â
Gideon’s voice came out in a desperate rush,Â
scared I’d walk away. “I’ll warm your bed for you.Â
You can have my ears. My tail. Anywhere youÂ
want. I swear, I’ll let you touch me anywhere.”Â
I rubbed Theron’s ear and shot back, “You reallyÂ
think I want any of that?”Â
Gideon’s eyes landed on Theron.Â
That wolf had been hurt worse than him. He wasÂ
practically dead back then.Â
And now?Â
Healthy. Fur shining. Living in my room.Â
The glossy coat and that ridiculously handsomeÂ
face proved it to Gideon, Theron had become aÂ
rare SSS–level bonded servant.Â
That should have been his.Â
All of it should have been his!!!Â
If it wasn’t for him. If it wasn’t for Theron…Â
He snarled at Theron. “Why did you take what’sÂ
mine?”Â
“If you weren’t here, I’d be living the good life!Â
Something like you should have died in that creek.”Â
I said flatly, “You think someone else is the reasonÂ
your life is bad?”Â
Gideon’s eyes went wide. Memories flashedÂ
through his mind.Â
When he looked up again, tears were falling in bigÂ
drops.Â
“I’m sorry, Scarlett. I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t haveÂ
bit the hand that saved me.”Â
His voice shattered.Â
“I’ll do anything… ears… tail… they’re all yours…”Â
“Please… save me…”Â
He heard footsteps behind him. Gideon shook likeÂ
a leaf. His tail tucked between his legs as he triedÂ
to hide at my feet.Â
Audrey walked up.Â
“Sorry, Scarlett.”Â
She grabbed Gideon’s tail and started draggingÂ
him back.Â
“He made a little mess. I’ll clean it up.”Â
Gideon’s screams went sharp and high. He leftÂ
bloody streaks across the floor.
