Glaire burst into tears again. “Our babies… I’ve failed to protect them… I’m sorry! Sob… Rufus, I know you hurting. You’re mad at me, right? Then hit me-do it a few times if you need to! Just… just don’t keep it all bottled up.”

Rufus’s eyes were bloodshot. He stared at Claire, then strode toward her and raised his hand.

Zane narrowed his eyes at him immediately.

“You better not.”

Rufus’ hand froze midair. Then he clenched his fist and lowered it slowly. He pulled Claire out of Zane’s arms and pressed her tightly against his chest.

“Claire, how could I blame you? The babies… If they’re gone, then we’ll have more someday. The only person I blame is myself. I couldn’t protect you or our babies. If I had been stronger, Jeffrey would never have taken you away.”

Then none of those heartbreaking things would have happened.

Claire sniffed and wiped her tears away.

Then she said in a muffled voice, “Jeffrey already got what was coming to him. I smashed half his body apart. When I escaped, he was barely alive. I don’t know if he survived after that.”

Everything she had heard in Grimstone was only rumor. She had no way to know what was true.

Jeffrey had always been a shadow hanging over her heart.

Maybe she would only feel safe after seeing his dead body.

Rufus rested his chin on top of Claire’s head. His hair bristled sharply, and cold anger rolled off him.

“Don’t worry. Even if he somehow survived, I’ll kill him myself!”

Violence flashed in his eyes. His knuckles cracked loudly as he clenched his fists.

Zane nodded calmly.

“I’ll help you when the time comes.”

A Level 2 Rufus stood no chance against Jeffrey alone.

Rufus answered in a dark voice, “I don’t need your help.”

Zane said nothing more. He had no interest in arguing with him right now..

After calming down a little, Rufus bent over and lifted Claire into his artus. Before leaving, he tossed a remark at Zane.

“Claire is staying with me tonight.”

This time, Zane didn’t argue. He simply watched Rufus carry her away.

Marcus listened to Rufus’s footsteps fading into the distance before walking over to Zane.

“Zane, are we really just letting Rufus take Claire away? He’s not in the right mind now. What if he hurts her?”

Some beastfolk lost control after losing their cubs. There had even been cases where males turned fera an killed their females.

Zane shook his head.

“He won’t. Rufus may never say it out loud, but I know Claire means more to him than the babies ever did.”

“Oh!”

As Claire’s scent drifted farther and farther away, jealousy rose quietly inside Marcus.

He wished Claire belonged only to him.

Zane noticed his mood and patted him on the shoulder.

“Get rid of those thoughts,” he warned. “As the first mate, I have to remind you not to make things difficult for your mate. The more exceptional a female is, the more mates she’ll attract. Claire is already Level 2. Her fertility is far beyond normal females’. That means every major force out there will want her.”

He let out a tired sigh.

“The three of us aren’t enough to protect her.”

Marcus froze.

“You mean… we still need to find Claire another mate?”

He had always been confident in his own strength. If he hadn’t willingly offered himself at the blood sacrifice, Finlay would never have been able to trap him.

“We definitely need to find one,” Zane replied. “But strength and rank aren’t enough. Looks matter too. No ugly ones. Do you know any suitable beastfolk?”

Marcus thought carefully. Grimstone saw many visiting beastfolk over the years, but males who had both strength and looks were rare.

Wait There actually was one

A figure suddenly flashed through his mind. Maybe he would barely pass.

“I remember someone,” Marcus said at once. “When I was linle and could still see a group of deer beastfolk came to Grimstone. The Deer King’s youngest prince was really handsome

“Deer clan?” Zane raised a brow slightly.

Deer beastfolk mostly ate plants and were known for their gentle personalities. Could beastfolk like that really be strong?

Marcus nodded.

“The deer clan lives far away. You have to cross the black marsh to reach them. It’s dangerous.”

Because of their remote homeland, deer beastfolk rarely traveled far from their territory.

Marcus continued thinking back.

“They came to Grimstone for the Wildclaws Festival back then. They traded with many clans. It’s been almost ten years since they last appeared.”

Zane quickly considered the idea before making a decision.

“Compared to the deer clan, Uverplain is much closer to us. Once winter ends and summer arrives, the next Wildclaws Festival will happen during the hottest part of summer. We can head to Uyerplain then. The deer clan will probably send beastfolk to attend.”

Marcus nodded in agreement.

If it was the deer prince he remembered from childhood, then he should be worthy of becoming Claire’s

next mate.

Zane planned to discuss it with Claire after she returned. Then he suddenly looked at Marcus, who was standing around blankly.

“By the way, where are your babies?”

The question hit Marcus like lightning. He felt something was missing, but he thought it was only because Claire had suddenly left. Now he realized the problem. Marcus slapped his forehead hard.

“The babies are with Claire! I need to find her!”
