Chapter 236 Rufus’s Last Night with Claire
Zane had already agreed to the arrangement.
Claire found it a little strange, but she didn’t object. She figured Zane probably felt sorry for Rufus aft lost his babies.
“Zane really is the perfect husband and father, Claire said with a sigh.
He handled everything carefully. Even the route to the eagle clan had been planned by him.
Rufus only told him where the eagle clan was located, yet Zare still managed to map out the journey perfectly. Their pace was steady every day. They never got too tired, but they didn’t waste any time eith
“Zane, when will we reach the eagle clan?”
The closer they got, the more nervous Claire became.
She was scared the children wouldn’t recognize her. She was scared they would blame her for being gon too long.
By now, her first litter was about six months old. They should even be talking by now.
What if they refused to call her Mom? What should she do?
Claire’s thoughts kept running wild. Sometimes, she felt she was worrying too much, yet she could never stop thinking about it.
“Master, your reaction is completely normal!” Pome said. “Your fourth litter is already growing inside you Pregnant females tend to overthink things.”
Claire gently rubbed her stomach. “Can you tell how many babies there are this time, Pome?”
Another pregnancy already. Those fertility pills really did work every single time.
This time, she would protect the babies no matter what. She would never let the same tragedy happen again.
Pome replied, “Master, there are too many for this system to count. Master, we’re going to get rich!”
Her voice was filled with excitement unlike ever before.
Ever since she bonded with Claire, Porne’s rank had risen several levels. She had climbed from the botojn tier of system the way into the third tier.

“Don’t worry, Master! You’ll definitely be satisfied! The higher tay rank becomes, the more rewards I ca unlock, and the more complete my functions become!”
Claire nodded. The system still wasn’t perfect enough. If it could protect her at all times, then she would have to keep worrying about Jeffrey showing up.
Five days had already passed. Every single day, Claire feared Jeffrey might suddenly appear and kidnap her. But so far, he hadn’t found a chance.
Her mates were always by her side, so she was never alone.
Another evening arrived. Just as Rufus was about to take Claire away again to spend the night at their secret spot, Zane suddenly called him aside.
Zane stared at Rufus suspiciously.
“I thought you said you were leaving soon to train at the eagle clan’s Sacred Grounds. It’s already been seven days. Why are you still here?”
He had every reason to suspect Rufus was using this as an excuse to keep Claire all to himself.
Honestly, it sounded exactly like something Rufus would do.
Marcus’s gloomy voice suddenly came from the corner.
“Zane, we got tricked. He never planned to go to the Sacred Grounds at all! Claire’s been monopolized by him this whole time! I refuse to accept this! Starting next, I’m sleeping beside Claire for the same number of days!”
Zane narrowed his eyes at Rufus. His gaze carried both warning and pressure.
Rufus crossed his arms and frowned.
“Tomorrow. I’m leaving tomorrow. The Sacred Grounds are naturally close to the eagle clan. After tomorrow, our paths split apart. I’ll head north, while you keep going east. Three more days after that, and you’ll reach the eagle clan.”
Zane stared at him for a long moment before finally speaking.
“As long as you know your limits.” Then he added. “The eagle clan doesn’t know us. Do you have some kind of token I can bring with me?”
Rufus shook his head. He only wore a pale pink hide wrap around his waist, matching Claire’s out like a couple’s set. He didn’t even carry a fur pouch, much less a token.
Rufus looked confused. “Haven’t you visited the children in the clan before? Didn’t you show yourself?” Zane nodded. “I was in a hurry back then. I only looked at them from far away before rushing back to itsel Claire. I didn’t stay long
“But Tyne and her mate are in your eagle cluj too, right? With them there, people should believe us

Rufus nodded, though something still felt off in his mind. He felt like he had forgotten something important, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t remember it. In the end, he could only leave
a frown.
When Zane and Marcus turned around again, they discovered Rufus had already carried Claire away. two of them had vanished without a trace.
Marcus threw his head back and shouted at the sky.
“Seriously?!”
