“Don’t thank me just yet,” Dora interrupted him, grinning as she held up a finger. “There are conditions.”

Clive’s expression turned serious. “Go ahead.”

“First, these seeds can only go to the brothers you trust. If word gets out, I’m holding you responsible,” Dora said.

Clive nodded seriously. “Got it.”

“Second, a portion of the income from the seeds needs to be sent back home as a share,” Dora added.

“Of course,” Clive replied.

“Third…” Dora paused, her gaze sweeping over the other four in the living room, a mischievous smile tugging at her lips. “Tonight, you’re on dish duty.”

Clive couldn’t even find words.

Elmer couldn’t help but laugh, reaching for the last piece of pork with his fork, only to find Rafe’s fork landing on the same piece at the exact same moment.

The two locked eyes, and it felt like a spark of electricity crackled between them.

“Rafe,” Elmer said, with those innocent puppy eyes and a harmless grin, “didn’t you already eat a lot?”

Rafe adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, his smile gentle and refined. “Elmer, you’re still growing, so you should eat more meat.

“But this piece looks perfectly cooked, I was actually planning to give it to Dory.”

Dora kept her head down, quietly eating her rice and acting like she hadn’t noticed anything going on.

Clive, with a blank face, silently picked up the piece of meat and dropped it into Dora’s bowl.

totally unfazed, like he was above all the drama at the table.

oup was really good today. Did you teach Seven how to make it?”

ra was just sipping her soup when she heard him. She looked up and met his smiling blue eyes.

“Yeah, I gave him the recipe,” she replied. “What’s up?”

Just as Rafe was about to speak, Elmer jumped in first. “Dora! Let me make you breakfast tomorrow!

“I just learned how to make some new pastries!”

Elmer’s light brown eyes sparkled, and he was clearly fishing for compliments.

Rafe’s smile faltered for a moment, and he shot Elmer a look that was half helpless, half amused.

“Elmer, you’re really diligent,” Rafe said, still keeping that perfect smile on his face.

“But Dory works so hard every day, she deserves a little variety for breakfast.

“I can make Ancient Blue Planet’s pancake rolls. How about I give it a try tomorrow?”

Elmer puffed up his cheeks in protest. “I can make pancake rolls too!

“And I can make bagel!”

“I just learned how to make bagel last week,” Rafe boasted.

“I… I can also…” Elmer stammered, scrambling for more things to show off.

Dora set down her spoon, watching the two beast mates trade cooking boasts like kids fighting over a toy. She was torn between wanting to laugh and wanting to scold them.

She cleared her throat.

Both of them instantly shut up and turned to look at her.

“Rafe,” Dora said, drawing out his name with deliberate slowness.

Rafe immediately straightened up. “Yes?”

“Cooking is just what beast mates are supposed to do, don’t expect any bonus points for that!” Dora teased.

Rafe’s smile froze for a second.

‘Crap, I totally forgot about the points system,’ he thought.

He looked at Dora’s radiant smile and suddenly realized, she wasn’t kidding around.

The points system wasn’t just talk; she was serious about sticking to it.

Even with his good looks, legendary bloodline, and Lever 7 supernatural ability, not even he could bend the rules with Dora.

The table went quiet for a moment.

Elmer’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

Lioren’s tail flicked gently, a faint smirk tugging at his lips.

Clive kept his face blank, but there was a glint of ‘serves you right’ in his eyes.

Lucian remained detached, calmly sipping his soup as if the drama had nothing to do with him.

Rafe adjusted his glasses, a thoughtful glint flickering in his blue eyes.

‘Looks like I’ve only got 25 points… still 75 points short… he thought to himself.

He glanced at Dora, who was quietly sipping her soup as if her comment had been nothing but an offhand remark.

But Rafe knew, she was giving him a reminder.

Elmer, meanwhile, was sitting there with his chin held high, his puppy eyes practically shouting, “I’m a full member of this family, and I’m proud of it!”

Rafe glanced at him, then at the other three.

Clive, Lioren, and Lucian were all official members.

Only he was still on probation.

For once, that realization actually made him feel a bit nervous about his status.

He gave a small, elegant smile and picked up his napkin to dab at the corner of his mouth.

Rafe paused with his fork in mid-air.

“Good point, Dory,” he said.

“I guess I need to figure out how to do something special for this family, so I can really earn my place as your beast mate.”

“100 points…” Rafe muttered, his blue eyes flickering with contemplation.

He paused, determination flashing in his gaze. “I’ll go home tomorrow.”

“Home?” Dora asked, a bit surprised, looking up at him.

“Yeah,” Rafe nodded. “I need to grab something.”

He glanced at everyone, his tone sincere. “I’m going to get my engagement gift.”

Elmer blinked, thinking, ‘So he’s finally stopped pretending and is about to pull out the money moves?”

Lioren’s cat ears twitched, his amber eyes scanning Rafe up and down.

Clive’s eyes narrowed, lost in thought.

Lucian remained expressionless.

Dora looked at Rafe and suddenly smiled.

“Sure thing,” she said. “Let’s see what you’re offering as engagement gift.”

Rafe smiled and nodded, even as a quick spark flashed deep in his blue eyes.

He was dead set on those 100 points, nothing was going to stand in his way.

After dinner, Seven was busy clearing away the dishes.

Dora stood up and gave a lazy stretch.

“Tonight, I’m going to organize my Spatial Realm,” she announced.

She shot a look at her five beast mates. “So don’t even think about disturbing me.”

She paused, her gaze lingering on Clive for a beat longer than the others.

Thinking back to how someone barged in like a ghost this morning, she stressed, “I’m serious this time, absolutely no one gets in!

“None of you, got it!”

Elmer puffed out his cheeks and looked at her with big puppy eyes.

“Dora…”

“Good boy,” Dora said as she stood up, ruffling his hair. “Go on, head to your own room and get some sleep.”

With that, she headed upstairs with a relaxed air.

Elmer watched as her figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs, his cheeks puffed out like a little pufferfish.

‘Dora always treats me like her little brother. I can’t let that keep happening,’ Elmer thought, feeling a bit indignant.

‘And now it’s another one of those No Disturbing nights

‘The last time she said that, someone just phased right through the wall into her room and didn’t come out until noon the next day,’ he sulked inwardly.

He shot Clive a sulky look.

Clive kept a straight face, pretending he hadn’t heard anything.

Lioren lounged back in his chair, his cat ears twitching with lazy satisfaction, a sly glint flashing in his amber

eyes.

‘Like I’d actually listen to you, little female. Tonight, I’m sneaking into your bed,’ Lioren thought, a mischievous smirk tugging at his lips.

His gaze slid over to Clive, keeping it cool and unreadable.

‘Gotta beat this guy to it,’ Lioren thought, a competitive spark in his eyes.

Clive seemed to notice Lioren’s gaze, his eyes flicking over with a calm, unreadable look.

Their eyes locked, and the air practically crackled with sparks between them.

Elmer was still sitting there, cheeks puffed out and sulking, deep in thought. ‘How on earth can I get Dora to see that I’m not just some kid, I’m a mature beast mate now?’ he fretted.
