Beauty in the beast world-Chapter 302: Joy and worry

"Who is the father?" As soon as that question left Lyra’s lips, her mates became silent. The silence was so loud that everyone could hear each other’s breathing. Well, that was what they needed the most right now. To take a deep breath and contemplate the words that they could spit out next.

Blake looked at Victor while Killian glanced at Demir. Lucas and Noah likewise followed suit. Almost everyone had the same thoughts running inside their minds. Who the hell is the father? The answer to that was very complicated to say less. Each of them had slept with their mate for the past months. Alone sometimes and in a group other times. Overall the possibilities were endless. Any of them could be the father.

"This guessing game...." Victor started. He looked at each of them while asking, "Can we stop it now? It is useless anyway" All of them had fucked her so this contemplation was stupid.

"That’s true" chimed in Demir making Lyra glare at him. Were they for real? How could any of them not know? Well, she also didn’t know. That thought made her red in shame. She was such a.... opening her legs whenever her mates passed by her. In fact, she was the one who always took the first step in seducing them. With all of them. There was no one to blame but her for this ridiculous situation. She tried hard to not look at the witch master who was giving all of them a weird glance. For beings that are hellbent on continuing the progeny, the witch master sure looked judgmental. free𝑤ebnovel.com

"You can check for the father," Lucas said breaking the ice, "Just like last time, we can conduct a test that can solve our doubts"

"Right", Lyra said nodding in agreement as she glanced at the witch master, "We can do that?"

However, unlike them, the witch master’s stand on this differed, "You have six mates, my lady, it will be difficult for you to conduct a test with all of them. Your blood is required for the examination but your condition right now is not optimal. It will be risky, drawing your blood"

"Then there is no need for that" Blake declared as he walked towards his mate. He hesitated a bit before touching her face, "We can always know after the cub is born. It is easier that way"

"I think the same" Killian said, "That child is ours, no matter who the father is"

"That’s right!" Victor agreed loudly, "She will be my daughter at the end of the day. Oh, my wind god, I will be a girl dad soon!" There was so much joy and excitement in his voice. The sadness he was feeling prior had completely vanished. Instead, so many new thoughts and ideas ran inside his mind. The nursery that he could build, the toys that he could carve out, and Dresses! Pretty dresses that he could design and make his baby girl wear, "So fucking, cute!"

His loud voice startled everyone in the room except Lyra. She knew what exactly her mate was thinking and couldn’t help but smile. He was so cute!

"I heard the good news, dear" Right then like a calm breeze in contrast to Victor’s typhoon-like words was heard in the room. The Lion Queen entered with a gentle smile on her face while making her way towards Lyra. She caressed the latter’s head and said, "Congratulations and thank you, dear. This news from you had brought back the light to our tribe"

Lyra’s eyes teared up, she hugged her mother-in-law. There were no words spoken between them but each other’s company was enough to bring peace and comfort.

When Lyra first heard about her pregnancy, she was obviously happy but then it slowly changed. She was afraid of announcing this news to the Lion tribe. The latter had just completed their King’s funeral and were still in a somber state. It felt wrong to blast her happy news to people in mourning. However, hearing her mother-in-law’s comforting words, she felt good. The former was the one who lost her husband but was so strong. This made Lyra ashamed of breaking down just because of some man who had betrayed her. Kyrell to her was the end of a bad story, a story she should never relive again.

"I’m so happy for you, dearest" Lyra’s train of thoughts came to a halt when she heard the Queen’s words. She also looked as the latter glanced at her mates before saying, "Congratulations to you all too fellas. Make sure to take good care of your mate"

"We will" Some voiced their reply out loud while others agreed upon it in their hearts. They indeed had to take extra care of their mate from here on. She was not alone anymore, a little life was growing inside her that needed every protection the world could offer. Female cubs were extremely rare in the Beast world making them all the more precious. Bigger tribes raided other small ones if the latter had even one female. Strong beasts often scouted for a partner all across the world. And the rule here was quite simple. The strong had a better chance of winning over or kidnapping a female. Survival of the fittest was prevalent across the world.

Lucas looked at his mate with a complicated face. His beautiful mate, his gorgeous mate, she was one of a kind. No matter who the father of the child is, she will be beautiful just like her mother. Her mother had faced multiple tribulations by strong suitors who were hellbent on making her theirs. He felt like he could almost see the future where his daughter could face the same hardships. It would be all right if his daughter’s suitors were normal but what if that is not the case? There was so much to explore in this vast beast land. None really knew what kind of other beasts dwelled in places where they could not reach. About how formidable they are or how ’Crazy’ they are. Just thinking about it made his head ache in worry.

Blake likewise thought the same. Unlike Victor who was so lost in ideas of dressing up and playing with their daughter, he was not able to take this as lightly. He was definitely happy but also worried. His mate would be the most vulnerable in the coming seasons. She was a perfect target for whoever that wanted to harm her or worse steal her together with the babe in her belly. She was like an enticing gem that some Beasts craved. Beasts that were probably stronger than any of them. No one completely knew the world outside. It was more complex than anyone could think.
