Beauty in the beast world-Chapter 298: The right time

Xavier felt his blood run cold when he saw Lyra collapse to the ground. As a respective tribe’s king, he was required to attend the late Lion King’s funeral and he did just that until it came to this! His pretty female fell unconscious after hearing some news about the Eagle King and he stood in his place stunned not knowing how to react. It was happening again and once again. That bastard of an eagle king proved to be more problem than he had thought.

Why was that filthy being trying to put his pretty female through so much? What had she even done to him? The fury Xavier never had towards Kyrell kept increasing the more he saw his pretty female lying there unconscious not in his arms. Kyrell was a stranger and had done nothing to Xavier. Logically, he shouldn’t harbor any kind of hatred towards the former but damn was that bastard making it easy. That betraying eagle was making it easy for Xavier to hate, to absolutely loathe him. And whenever he hated someone, he did it wholeheartedly. Sadly his late father the former fox king was one of them and now, the Eagle king.

Then his irritation grew as he stood like some kind of room ornament as her mates went on with their worries. They hugged her and nursed her waiting for the doctor to arrive while he had no such right. He had no claim over her to check on her or openly show his worry regarding her sudden collapse. No healthy individual collapsed as she did unless there was something wrong. Gods help him if there was really something like that ailing her then the Eagle tribe would not last longer. He swore that to himself.

Xavier tried his best to stay put instead of rushing to her but lords it was getting hard as time ticked. She didn’t budge even when her mates panicked and cubs howled. Thankfully the witch master arrived in time still not ready to lose his head as one might presume.

And the first thing, the witch master did as soon as he saw Lyra was check her pulse. Xavier saw the former’s frown-ridden face relax which made him relax. He was keeping a close eye on the witch master, to not miss anything that might come out of the former’s mouth regarding his pretty female. It didn’t seem like something dire happened which can clearly be interpreted by the witch master’s smiling face. Why was he smiling? This thought swirled inside Xavier’s mind and it did not take him long to know the reason.

The witch master belonging to the Lion tribe got up from his seat and turned towards the audience before announcing, "No need for worry my lords, it is a matter that will bring you joy" He took his time by glancing around the crowd and at last looking at Noah, "The lady is pregnant with a female cub. Congratulations your highness"

A commotion broke out all over as soon as he finished those words. The previous melancholy-filled hall mellowed out with beasts whispering happily amongst each other. The former grim shadow cast by The Lion King’s untimely death seemed to get clear.

Blake looked back at his mate with a complicated look on his face. A female cub...it was news that should be exhilarating for him but the only thing he could feel right now was nervousness. He was second-guessing himself. Could he really protect his beautiful mate when she will turn her most vulnerable? His snakelings, could fend for and protect themselves in case of adversaries but a female cub. That was a completely different story. Lilly’s baby no matter who the father is will be very beautiful, might he add a bit too beautiful that she might face situations that will not be very comfortable in the future.

In his Lilly’s case, all of them tried their hardest to keep her away from strong eyes but failed anyway. Killian, Kyrell, and that rootless wolf, Kaizer. These dangerous beasts swarmed around her like bees attracted to a pretty flower. As her mates, they could do nothing regarding this. With King Leonard’s death, they have gained another powerful enemy, and if those enemies tried to ambush them or at worst, their mate...Blake didn’t want to imagine further for he would not be able to think rationally.

Noah caressed his mate’s cheek with his thumb. The rosiness was returning to her cheeks as she turned warmer with the flames burning in the fireplace. The cold season....was not an ideal time for any kind of pregnancy much less a one with a female cub. There are fewer prey to hunt and blizzards that could end one’s life if they so much as step foot outside their abodes. He weighed his options and made a decision, "Arrange another hunting session" he said ordering his tribesmen, "We need to gather as much food as we can until the heavy cold season starts"

He ought to march against the Eagle tribe to avenge his father but that can wait. His late father would not return alive even if the Eagle King died. Revenge and vengeance could wait because his pregnant mate was more important to him right now. It could be his child or others but that does not change anything. His Baby dove child is His child too.

The Lion guards looked at each other skeptically but soon left their posts to heed the royal order.

"I will go back to the snake tribe" Killian announced as he got up from his seat but not before kissing his mate’s forehead. Then he looked at Blake, "That Kyrell...Eagle king, what should I do with him?" He didn’t want to do something hastily, not when his mate was in this condition. With Noah’s words alone, he could conclude the prince’s stance. In this moment, it was clear that the former didn’t want revenge from the Eagle King. And King Leonard was nothing to Killian. Why should he risk anything for anyone when he could use the same energy to protect his mate?

Blake sighed, "Try to be calm, I know it is hard but try to keep Victor from harming the Eagle King or vice versa. Now is not the time for us to blindly let our bloodlust loose"

"We cannot afford an all-out war against the Eagles" Chimed in Demir, "Not for now at least. I want my sunshine’s pregnancy to end safely. And as for that Eagle bastard, his time will come"

Killian stared at his mate’s sleeping face, "I understand"
