Beauty in the beast world-Chapter 257: His little mate

Alice glared at Kyrell’s sleeping figure for some time before leaving the room. She had many things to think about from now on. Her plans in destroying the Eagle King were not that easy to accomplish. She has to take very careful steps without making a single mistake. Any blunder from her will cause her life and she would regret that. Even in her death, she would not be able to forgive herself if she does not make Kyrell suffer. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

And about the wench that had hit her. Alice vowed to get her revenge for the slap that she received. She still couldn’t remove that wench’s haughty gaze from her mind. Wasn’t that bitch so proud of being a Queen? And that too for multiple tribes. Alice couldn’t help but lament about how luck seemed to favor only bad people.

According to Alice, Kyrell’s female was a power-hungry and evil woman. She seduced strong beastmen who held high authority in the beast city only to become a queen of all of her mates’ tribes. That was very smart of her and Alice had to admit Lyra did something any other female with ambitions would do in the beast world.

To hold some kind of power, females were supposed to mate with the strong and Lyra did just that. Alice applauded the former for that.

Whereas Alice herself never thought about doing it because Continuing to stay alive was such a chore after her brother’s death and her mother’s deteriorating health. She was already having a hard time mating with the ones she was obligated to and had no motivation in seducing a stronger beastman or a king of a certain tribe. She never even had a thought of doing something like that.

But staying like that was not possible anymore. She has to get someone by her side to get her revenge. Someone strong....." Are any of the kings mateless in the beast city?" she asked while sitting on the seat opposite her father. Now she was inside her father’s room.

Elder Edgar took his time to observe every change of expression on his daughter’s face. There was desperation in her gaze as she waited for his answer. All of this was his fault. He should have never asked his daughter to move back to the Eagle tribe. After his mate’s health went down, he drowned himself in his own sorrow forgetting his daughter who was also suffering with him. He let her stay in another tribe in order to keep her safe from the late King and only learned about her isolation after years. And by the time, he reached there, his daughter had changed. Her cherry self and pure smile were replaced with nothing but aloofness.

Nothing kept her interested. Not the males he selected for her or her life. Edgar only ever saw his daughter react when she met her ill mother. Even then, Alice shed tears, and nothing else. She didn’t even talk to her mother.

Edgar regretted his decision in distancing himself from his daughter in the past and wanted to somehow make up for it. Seeing his daughter go through the path of revenge didn’t sit well with him, "You do not need to do this, Alice"

Her face darkened as soon as he said those words, "What do you mean by that, father?"

Edgar frowned, "Do you think I don’t know what is running in your mind? Vengeance can never lead to a happy end for you. Alice, please.....You will just suffer on this path. And his majesty, I wouldn’t dare imagine what might happen if he comes to know of your motives"

"Enough Father," Alice said stopping her father from speaking further. If he was not going to support her then at least she wanted him to stay silent just like he always did. She didn’t like him trying to talk her out of this. This was the decision she had made and never wanted to change it.

"Alice....." before her father could say more, she stormed out of that place.

[Snake Castle]

Kaizer dazedly looked at the two little sleeping cubs’ in his hands. Just after he finished discussing things with his bunny’s mates, she entered the living room while being followed by the little snakes.

She joyously exclaimed about celebrating something called ’Christmas’ before she went inside the kitchen but not before giving instructions to them.

Blake was sent out to find some kind of tree and bring it back to their home. Victor who seemed to already know about this thing called ’Christmas’ was told to do some decorations around the castle.

Meanwhile, Demir went into the kitchen following their mate. Noah and Lucas on the other side, went out to hunt for the feast that they were going to have today.

As for him, Kaizer was forgotten by his mate. She had completely forgotten about him until he made his presence known by trailing around wherever she went. Having enough of his antics, she handed the lion cubs to him and asked him to stay in one place in order to not wake them up.

Kaizer had never before behaved this cautiously. Even a simple twitch in his movement seemed to disturb the cubs. They looked so small and fragile while they wriggled in his arms trying to find a perfect spot to sleep. Something warm surged inside his heart seeing this sight. Once again he was reminded of their fate if the Fox tribe’s witch master succeeded. He would never have been able to feel this warmth if that had happened.

Following that, another thought came to his mind. For his bunny to trust him this much, he felt good. She let him take care of the cubs that she cherished and that made him so happy. Then again, it was not like he could do something to them because the little snakes surrounding him wouldn’t bat an eye before biting him if he tried something with their brothers.

Amongst the little snakes, one particular snake with familiar blue eyes seemed to bore a hole on his face as it kept on glaring at him. Kaizer remembered this snake. Back when he had gone to battle the snake tribe, this little snake fascinated him to no end. To be precise, he liked this snake’s eye color and wanted to gauge it out.

This made him laugh. The little snake’s eyes color resembled his mother’s eyes. Blue like that of a clear sky during a good sunny day. His bunny was a beautiful female and those eyes of hers just added to her prettiness. However, that did not mean that he could gauge it out so he decided to apologize to the little snake, "I’m sorry"

The little snake was surprised by the dangerous beastman’s sudden apology. He didn’t know what to do and shifted his attention from Kaizer to his baby brothers that were sleeping.

Meanwhile, inside the kitchen, Lyra busied herself with preparing the food for tonight’s dinner. A smile perked up her lips recalling Kaizer’s face when she gave the cubs to him. He looked startled and troubled but before he could say anything, she left the living room before going to the kitchen.

If it was really an inevitable situation, then she wanted to make the most out of it. Kai was very adamant about becoming her mate and if there is nothing she could do to stop him, then it was better for her to accept it and move on. He was not a bad guy or that was what she wanted to believe. He was just a bit hot-headed and needed a little training...No! That sounded wrong. What was he? A dog?

Shaking her head, she came out of her thoughts before concentrating on making the food. As she glanced at her side, she saw Demir doing his own work. He looked so hot while cooking. That made her tiptoe before kissing his cheek.

Demir’s eyes went wide in surprise and he glanced at his side to only see his mate’s flushed face, "Stop tempting me, sunshine" he playfully warned her before returning to his work.

Lyra who got ignored by her mate huffed in annoyance before kissing his cheek or she tried to because.....Demir used his height as an advantage to dodge her kiss. No matter how much she tried or jumped to reach him, it was futile.

"Demir....." Lyra whined, "Let me kiss you, darling. Please...." Why was he being so difficult right now? "Alright," she exclaimed, "I will go find my other mates"

With that, she started to walk away to only be stopped by Demir. He tugged at her arm before dragging her to his embrace.

"Ouch," Then he bit her earlobe making her yelp.

Demir peppered kisses all over his mate’s face before his lips hovered on top of her lips, "I have such a naughty little mate" Then he bit her lower lip while saying, "What should I do with you, my mate? Should I punish you?"
