Chapter 32: Inside the mind
"You are quite harsh aren't you? You could have tried to know him better"
Lyra turned towards the voice and saw the witch master smiling looking at her. He walked near her "Males in the beast world can't forget about their beloved and mate with other females. No matter how strong or which tribe they belong to, they can't move on like how it is defined in your world"
She furrowed her eyebrows "H-how do you?"
Sensing her nervousness he cleared her doubt "Olivia's friend was my mate, the one who came from another world like you"
Lyra widened her eyes "Your mate? Then are you?" she couldn't continue her words
He confirmed her doubt "Yes I'm a stray beast, But don't worry, I loved my mate too much for me to even think about hating other females, She also wouldn't like me acting like a fool going around killing other females, and I don't do anything that she hates"
Lyra smiled awkwardly, he was one of the most interesting characters that she met in this world. He was cheerful, energetic, sarcastic, and always poked his nose at other people's matters, well at least he did in her life and she wanted to scold him so badly but somehow felt that the advice he was giving was for her good.
"So tell me! Why did you reject that poor Lion cub" he said breaking her train of thoughts
Lyra came out of her reverie and answered "I don't have any romantic feelings towards him, and it would be unfair for both of us if I just accept him because he searched for me, I don't doubt his love for me but it will be painful for him if I don't reciprocate"
