Beauty in the beast world-Chapter 256: Alice’s motives

As Lyra’s mates continued to discuss about everything that had happened in the Eagle tribe, back in her room, Lyra was having trouble falling asleep. No matter how much she forced herself to sleep, it didn’t work. She wanted to forget about all the things by falling into deep slumber but it seemed like even that was not easy for her. There was really nothing easy in this beast world. Being constantly kidnapped by Beastmen that came to fancy her was already tiring enough and to top it off, one of the men that had promised to love her has become mates with another female. And that said female even slapped her in warning to stay away from Kyrell.

Lyra would have never tried to seek him if she was in her right state of mind. The shock of Kyrell becoming mates with another female made her irrational for a moment which in turn prompted her to confirm the truth with Kyrell. Her mind had refused to believe what that Eagle tribe’s female said back there but not anymore. Now that her mind was clear enough, she could think more rationally. From now on, Kyrell’s Chapter in her life was done. He was just her past and nothing else. She had better things in her life and wanted to focus on them instead of lamenting on what had already occurred. It was not like she could change things just because she wants to, so taking in a deep breath, she raised herself from the bed and walked towards the balcony.

She covered herself with a thick coat that her mates had specifically designed using bear skin for her to avoid the harsh cold in the Beast world. She couldn’t step out to the balcony due to the snow and could only stay near the fireplace. She settled herself on a rug sprawled near the fire and brought her knees near to her chest and sought of hugged herself while staring at the beautiful snow falling from the sky. The view outside looked magnificent. Trees were covered in clear snow as some of the branches peeked through reminding her of a Christmas tree. That made her spring up from her place. A smile bloomed on her face as she decided to recreate Christmas which she celebrated back in her world.

Her babies would enjoy this and she was sure that her mates too would like it as long as she did something that made her happy. By this, she could preserve and cherish some of the memories she had back on earth. The things back in her world and her parents that took care of her were something she would never be able to forget. She never wanted to forget those precious memories and times she had spent back there. So with her mind made up, she ushered out of the room wanting to discuss this with her mates to only stop when the little snakes blocked her path.

The little snakes had just returned from their hunt with Peter. They got startled when they saw the dangerous stranger inside thier house. And one of the little snakes that had almost lost its eyes due to Kaizer kept on hissing at him gaining others’ attention. The brothers wanted to attack and kill him until they were stooped by their father.

Their father asked them to go inside without causing any commotion. He looked serious and the little snakes knew when to stop and went further inside the castle to find their Mama. And when they found her, all of them rushed towards her.

"My precious little babies’’ Lyra cooed as she lowered herself to the ground before trying to pick them up. She definitely tried but failed because her babies were not little anymore. They were the same size of an adult wild snake and she had a hard time cuddling with them. Nonetheless, her babies helped themselves up her lap before comfortable settling there. Her thought of going to her mates to discuss about celebrating Christmas flew out of the window and instead of that, she turned her full attention to cuddling with her babies. The little snakes were cold to touch but she didn’t let that bother her. Her babies were her priority before everything else.

"Ugh,’’ Kyrell groaned with his eyes still closed. It felt hard for him to even lift a finger. Pain and anguish were the only things he could feel in his body. Paired with that, his head was hurting like it would split in two any moment now. As a last resort in gaining his composure, Kyrell shifted into his beast form. Even the shifting hurt him but he somehow went through it because he would heal faster in his beast form.

A Golden eagle covered most of the bed it was previously laying in. It’s sheer size almost occupied half of the room leaving only a small space to walk for the one that entered.

Alice hesitantly took a step inside Kyrell’s room making sure to not disturb the sleeping beast. It would be over for her if he deemed her an enemy and attacked during his delirious state. The drug that she had previously ministered on him will soon wear off. He is an immortal beastman and that only would aid him in recovering faster.

This fact made her angry at Nathan. Had that bastard not interfered, then she would have already become Kyrell’s mate. All her dreams and hopes got shattered due to Nathan.

Alice knew Kyrell through her brother, Noel. At first, she didn’t like when her brother interacted with the king’s unfavored son. Talking with Kyrell brought nothing but trouble to her brother and thier family. Being a tribe elder’s son meant nothing to the late king. The king brutally killed her brother just because he was friends with Kyrell. When her mother heard of her brother’s death, she fainted. The witch doctor who examined her mother announced that she had lost her mind.

That one declaration completely broke her father and their family. Alice was forced to flee the tribe to avoid the late king’s wrath falling on her. It was hell for her in the tribe where she resided. She went days isolating herself in her own space refusing to interact with the outside world. Those were the only days she had some peace but that to came to a halt when she came of age. Her heat started which forced her into taking mates. The price of a female’s comfort and safety in the beast world came with responsibilities of its own. They were supposed to have a certain number of mates whether they liked it or not and had to reproduce so that they remain relevant. None wanted a female that couldn’t reproduce in the beast world. The love and care that those males showed were nothing but thier natural instinct in continuing their lineage.

Alice refused to believe that kind of selfish love and hence always maintained her distance from her mates. She slept with them as her duty during her fertile days and that was it. This was her relationship with her mates.

Her life had turned bleak and dull. She was breathing to stay alive and stopped fearing death until she heard of Kyrell becoming the king of the Eagle tribe. She felt her anger which she had suppressed for all those years rise when she heard of him killing King Derek to take over the throne. Then she started to investigate the matter further. What was the reason for Kyrell’s sudden shift in behavior? What made him kill his own brother? There must have been an important reason for him to act out. And after days of digging around, she found his reason.

A Female! A mere female was enough for him to kill his brother but what about his Friend? What about her brother, Noel? He should have done this when the late king murdered her brother. The one good thing he did back then was killing his father but that was not enough for Alice. For all the suffering she and her family went through, the thing he committed was not enough.

She wanted him to kill each one of the late king’s family and then wanted Kyrell to kill himself. Yes, Alice wanted Kyrell dead. He did not deserve to live after what he did to her brother. If not that, then she at least wanted him to suffer in his guilt for his entire life. That could somehow soothe and keep her sane.

However, even that was stolen away from her. Some bitch snatched her opportunity in seeing Kyrell suffer. He gained a purpose to live and to be happy due to that wench. Kyrele took the king’s seat just so he could become her mate.

Alice almost went insane when she heard this. She locked herself in her room just like she did when her brother died. For the second time in her life, she was mourning. She was mourning for her lost opportunity in seeing Kyrell suffer. The next day when she opened her room’s door, she vowed to herself. She would not stop until she drove the one responsible for her brother’s death to hell. And the one who gave that person hope...Kyrell’s female will suffer the same fate as his.
