The Ultimate Litter: A Beast World System Tale novel Chapter 245

Chapter 245 An Invitation

“Marcus, why is there so much blood of your animal-hide clothes? Did Zerak hurt you?”

Marcus shook his head.

“No, Claire. It’s Zerak’s blood. It got on me by accident just now. Don’t worry, they’ve all been dealt wit

Claire nodded and didn’t ask any more questions. She turned around and went back to playing with the younglings.

Marcus suddenly grabbed her hand and asked nervously, “Claire, if one day you found out that I lied to you, what would you do? Would you yell at me, hit me, or kill me?”

Claire found it strange that he would suddenly ask something like that. Marcus was smiling, but there w no warmth in his eyes.

Claire deliberately put on a serious face and said, “Those would all be too easy on you! I’d break our ma bond!”

Marcus’s hand trembled violently, and it felt as though a bolt of lightning had struck his heart!

He had never imagined that Claire would say she didn’t want him anymore.

He knew he had done something wrong. Back then, he truly hadn’t had any other choice. Then Maxim had shown up to kidnap Claire, and in a moment of inspiration, he had done what he did.

The very first time he met Claire, when the city guards carried her in, he had already been captivated by the sweet fragrance that surrounded her. Later, after/tasting the food she had personally cooked, he had made up his mind that he would become her beast/mate no matter what.

She was the mate he had fought for with his own hands. Even if Claire blamed him, resented him, wante to hit him, or scold him, he could accept all of it!

Even if Claire told him to die, he would gladly do it if it would ease her anger!

But Claire had actually said she would break their mate bond!

That hurt even more than death!

Marcus laughed bitterly to himself.

Claire really did understand hirn well.

She knew that losing his relationship with her was the one thing he could never accept.

A huge wave of fear and panic engulfed him.

Claire watched as the smile on his face slowly changed from happiness to bitterness. The curve of his lips hadn’t changed, and his eyes were still slightly curved, but she could tell that the smile was different,

A trace of panic suddenly rose in her heart. She quickly shook his arm.

me, right? So that situation could never happen. Don’t overthink it”

After hearing her words, the bitterness on Marcus’s face gradually faded. The pain in his heart remaine but he still forced out his familiar smile.

“Claire, I understand. Don’t worry. I won’t ever lie to you again. Not even if I die.”

Claire nodded and smiled brightly.

“Good. Of course I believe you! Our Marcus is the sweetest, isn’t he?”

She stood on her tiptoes and casually rubbed his curly black hair.

Still, why had Marcus said “again”?

Forget it. It was probably just a slip of the tongue.

Claire’s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled radiantly.

Inside her mind, Davy’s deep voice suddenly sounded.

“Female, I’m very obedient too! Look at me! When are we going to mate?”

According to what Pome had said, he had waited so long that the flowers had bloomed and withered, ye he still hadn’t gotten anywhere!

But there was nothing he could do. He couldn’t force/the little female.

That was something he would never allow himself to do!

He would just keep waiting. After all, drake beastfolk lived very long lives. He could afford to wait.

Marcus nodded obediently and rubbed his head lightly against Claire’s palm, enjoying her warm and gentle touch.

Claire’s hand was so warm!

Claire smelled wonderful too.

Just being near her made him feel safe, as though he was no longer alone in the world.

Marcus immersed himself completely in Claire’s comfort and affection. Before he could enjoy it for long. he heard the approaching footsteps of Zane and Rufus.

His heart instantly leaped into his throat. He was terrified that they would tell Claire his secret

Rufus must have learned everything from Zane by now!

The secret that he had used Maxim to give Claire an aphrodisiac!

The skin on Marcus’s back tightened, and his scalp began to tingle. He had no idea how Claire would react

if they revealed it right then and there…

Finished

But to his surprise, neither Rufus nor Zane mentioned it at all. They simply told Claire that Zerak and the others had been completely taken care of.

Claire nodded calmly. Although she felt a little reluctant, there was no helping it. The Beast World operated on the law of the strong preying on the weak. Either Zerak and his group would hurt them, or they had to strike first.

Now she had so many younglings. She had people she needed to protect.

How could she possibly leave threats like these alive?

Any danger she could see had to be eliminated as early as possible.

Even if it seemed cruel, there was no other choice.

She turned toward Matilda and asked, “How about traveling with us? We’re heading to the Eagle Clan settlement. If we pass other settlements along the way, you can decide whether you’d like to join one of them. The Eagle Clan is a great choice too. One of my beast mates is from there. It’s a large settlement, and they should welcome you.”

Come on. All nine of these females were Level 2. Even large settlements would consider them highly desirable. Leaders would practically beg for females like them to join. There was no way any settlement would reject them!
