Section 7 He is more overprotective than his parents
·

Since I have mastered the basic knowledge of werewolves, Lord Wolf King Cade Finn decided to place me in the advanced level training class.
I put on the special light armor he gave me. Although the woven material on the back of the armor had become very light after washing, I secretly got close and sniffed for a long time - this was clearly the wolf hair that fell off Kade Finn's body!
I would recognize him even if he turned into ashes!
In wolf packs, the hair that sheds naturally during the molting season is often collected by their owners, either to make soft and warm blankets or clothes for their families, or to make protective gear or swaddling clothes for their offspring.
As a werewolf hybrid who already knows the etiquette of a werewolf, I can't help but ask: What does he take me for?
It's not like they plucked wolf hair and made it into jewelry or ribbons as a token of love or a legacy of the warrior's faith, right?
At least I think armor does not belong to the two important items with special meanings mentioned above.
I don't have a molting season, so I don't know how much hair a real werewolf sheds every year, but I still want to thank him for giving me wolf hair to increase the defense of my armor...
This relatively vast grassland is where the wolf pack trains warriors.
I only need to learn the fighting skills in human form, but a half-blood werewolf without claws lacks natural weapons, and its strength and speed are weaker than those of a pure-blooded werewolf.
It's really a loss...
I always get knocked down in the sparring team!
Damn it! I've always been active and lively, but I'm definitely not one for fighting! I thrive on mental activity!
After being knocked to the ground for the nth time, the young wolf king walked to my side and frowned, saying, "You are too weak."
"I will train hard!" I gritted my teeth and got up, continuing to train unwillingly.
Cade Finn didn't say anything, but I could tell from his impatient expression that he was very dissatisfied with my fighting performance.
So I went out early and came back late every day to intensify my training, but a werewolf without claws was like a cripple and could only swing his weak fists like a human or use a dull sword.
Silver weapons are absolutely not allowed to appear in the wolf pack's territory.
So all my efforts were just to make myself a little more resilient, and I even always came back with injuries on my body.

Cade Finn was losing his patience.
During a training session, I was scratched by my opponent's habitual sharp claws, which happened to get stuck in the place on the back of the armor where the wolf hair was not woven.
The stabbing left a coin-sized bloody hole in his abdomen, scaring him so much that he almost knelt down in front of me. I could only endure the pain and comfort him that he was fine, then lifted up his soft armor and pulled out a strip of cloth to make a temporary bandage.
Finally, it was this trembling werewolf who carried me back to Kade Finn's residence.
"Oh my God, the leader has gone on patrol. I hope I won't be beaten half to death when he comes back..." The pale-faced werewolf put me at the door. He seemed to be in a trance and didn't even dare to step into Cade Finn's house. He fled away like the wind.
I held my forehead, covered my abdomen, and moved slowly, collapsing on the cushion in the reception hall and lying down.
Kade Finn came back in wolf form almost as soon as I closed my eyes.
He transformed into a human form beside me, reached out and pulled off the armor covering me, revealing my still bleeding abdomen.
I felt something move, opened my eyes, and saw his unprecedentedly ugly and indifferent expression. I couldn't help but feel a little scared, and didn't even care whether he was wearing clothes at the moment: "Kade Finn, I..."
Before I could even utter the words "I'm fine", he interrupted me harshly, "What's wrong with you?"
"I..." How should I explain? It was just an accidental injury during a training session. The opponent's claws accidentally pierced my stomach, and my self-healing ability happened to be not that strong, so I am still bleeding?
There is a lot to say, but the wound hurts so much that I, as a wounded soldier, don’t have the energy to say much.
"That's enough. You don't need to explain. From today on, you don't have to train anymore."
"Yeah." I felt a little unconvinced and felt that he was giving up on me.
"You really can't do anything right." I don't know what emotion he had in saying this, and it really hit me hard.
The physical limit of my natural half-werewolf physique is there. I have obviously tried my best, but there is no place in the wolf pack where I can display my talents!
If I hadn't been discovered as a half-werewolf, I would have already entered the town and become an apprentice mechanical engineer with a bright future!
I was angry with him, but didn't want to say too much. I felt like blood would gush out of the hole in my abdomen as soon as I opened my mouth to speak.
Just turn your head away, close your eyes and don't look at him.
The young man knelt on one knee beside the cushion, gently cut open the cloth bandaged around my abdomen, and lowered his head to lick my wound.
"Kade Finn!" I felt a hot and wet itch in my abdomen, and subconsciously struggled to push his head.
"Don't move! Your wound is bleeding!" His voice was impatient. He held me down with his hands, but still tried to stop the bleeding.
I actually... fell asleep without knowing when in this situation.
When I woke up, I was wearing a soft nightgown, my abdomen was re-bandaged, and I was lying in my own room.
The bloody cloth and pierced armor were gone.

I wanted to get up and look for Cade Finn, but I saw him lift the animal skin curtain and walk in with a bowl of easily digestible broth. He still had a gloomy expression on his face, as if everyone owed him something.
"Kade Finn, where's my armor?" I asked him in a low voice, trying to avoid exerting force on my abdomen, for fear of accidentally breaking the fragile wound.
"I've taken it." He put the soup bowl on the bedside with a thud, supported my back, and helped me sit up without any effort.
"Why?" I was puzzled and a little aggrieved. That was the first real gift he gave me!
Cade Finn didn't answer my question, but simply fed me the broth.
I had no choice but to drink the soup and eat the meat obediently.
"Did I disappoint you?" I asked before he left after finishing my drink.
He paused, turned back slightly, and said indifferently: "You really disappoint me."
After he left the bedroom, I couldn't help but feel wronged and wanted to cry. I couldn't stop crying, and I had to be careful not to tear the wound open and make Kade Finn work hard to stop the bleeding for me.
Why do I feel so miserable? I've tried so hard!
"Are you crying?" Kade Finn had lifted the curtain again without him noticing.
I wiped away my tears, turned my head away and said nothing.
"Remember, you can only protect yourself if you become stronger."
"I know." I was incredibly unconvinced. I could clearly put my knowledge into practice to protect myself, but in the wolf pack's territory, everyone was used to relying on their own strength. There was only one half-baked blacksmith, and I heard it was a half-werewolf who had fled here after his identity was discovered and was taken in by the pack... I simply didn't have the resources to study mechanics.
If I want to become stronger, I must go to the human territory to learn more about machinery, or even more knowledge!
But Kade Finn would definitely not want me to go, so I have to go find his mother, the other wolf king.
Originally, I was supposed to be under his mother's care! But he kept me in his home, and somehow I became under his direct jurisdiction!
If I wanted to continue to grow in the areas I excelled in, I had to leave his overprotection, which was even more extreme than that of my parents, and pursue what I loved on my own.
That’s right—I’ve never forgotten that what I loved and longed for most since childhood was machinery.
I can't delay any longer. Once my injury heals, I will move out of his house!
