Chapter 237: Reuniting with their mate
"Where is your mother?" asked Killian as he cradled the lion cubs in his arms. The little ones looked sleepy and were constantly dozing off but tried to hold back while trying to answer Killian.
A helpless smile graced his face as he looked at the two furballs growling at him seemingly telling about their mother. But Killian was not able to comprehend anything, "I don’t understand" then he glanced at Blake asking for his help.
Blake asked the same question to his babies and the answer that he received made him frown, "Your mom went out of the castle?" the little snakes nodded. That affirmation made him angry, "Why did you guys let her go out in a weather like this?"
The little snakes flinched seeing their father’s anger-filled eyes. He was glaring at them making them squirm in their places. They loved their dad and would tease him often but not when it came to their mom. Their father loved their mother the most and they realized this fact very early. They could understand their father very well because the most important person in their lives was also their mom.
"It’s not their fault, snake" Blake lifted his head when he heard a familiar voice. Demir was looking as restless as him and kept on glancing outside the window seemingly worrying about the heavy snow and cold wind.
"Don’t scold them. I will go and bring her back" With that Demir shifted into his beast form, a black scorpion, and rushed out of the snake castle.
Blake clicked his tongue before he too shifted into his beast form followed by Killian. The latter made sure to put the lion cubs into one of the nearest rooms and left the snake castle together with Blake.
Meanwhile, the little snakes decided to follow their brothers to guard them until their father and mother returns.

Lyra was constantly shivering from the cold wind and kept on seeking warmth by leaning on her mate’s broad chest. She didn’t expect the winter to be this harsh. Yes her mates had explained the difficulties of the cold season in the beast world but this? This was too much.
Victor frowned as he hugged his mate as tightly as he could. He noticed her discomfort. She was thinly dressed and he had no choice other than covering her with his own robe. The cold season came unexpectedly pushing them into this situation.
Other the other side, Peter added dry wood to the fire making sure to keep the queen warm. Females were born fragile and had to be protected. Unlike male beastmen, females didn’t have their beast forms and hence were exposed to harsh climate changes without any advantage in the beast world.
