“Slow down. No one’s going to steal your food now. Once you’re done eating, we’ll go find Aurora together. She said she’d take you to see Rufus’s eggs today.”

Only then did Claire remember. She quickly finished every last bite from her stone bowl and looked up at Zane with eager eyes.

I’m done. Can we go now?

Zane smiled at her fondly. He took off his apron and tossed it with a flick of his wrist. It flew through the air and landed neatly on the treehouse door.

Then he held out his hand.

“Let’s go.”

Claire walked over and slipped her hand into his. Before she knew it, Zane had scooped her up in his arms.

“The Eagle Clan is huge. If you walk too much, your feet will start hurting.”

Claire nodded.

She was already used to traveling in her beast mate’s arms. Most of the other females did the

same.

As they made their way through the clan, Claire saw everyone getting busy everywhere. Some hurried along the ground, while many soared through the sky.

The Eagle Clan was full of handsome men and beautiful women. Everywhere she looked was easy on the eyes.

After everything that had happened with Fiona the night before, the poisoned beastfolk had learned the truth. They realized Fiona had poisoned them and that they had turned against Claire because of it. They all felt deeply guilty.

One after another, they casually walked past Claire and quietly slipped little gifts into her hands.

At first, Claire didn’t understand what they were doing. She wondered whether this was how the Eagle Clan courted someone.

After it happened again and again, she realized that it wasn’t it. They weren’t flirting with her. They were simply grateful and sorry.

An entire group of gorgeous, angel-like beastfolk was showing her kindness.

Even someone with a stone heart would have been touched.

Claire wrapped one arm around Zane’s waist while balancing a pile of small gifts in her lap. Her bright eyes followed each male beastfolk who stopped by.

They were all good-looking. But she still preferred Rufus’s type. Cold and distant toward everyone else, yet warm and passionate whenever he was with her.

She couldn’t help wondering how Rufus was doing at the Sacred Grounds. Would he be able to resist Gillian’s relentless pursuit and eventually give in?

With his long legs, Zane walked quickly and steadily. Before long, they arrived at Aurora’s treehouse.

“Aurora, we’re here! Hurry and take me to see the eggs!”

The treehouse was completely silent.

Aurora hadn’t come home all night.

Claire looked inside. The treehouse was empty, and even the feather blanket on the wooden bed was folded neatly. It looked like no one had slept there.

“Do you think Aurora’s in trouble?”

Just as they were wondering whether they should go find Kieran, a male beastfolk flew down from a nearby treehouse.

He looked middle-aged. His long hair was tied back loosely, and he wore only a leather wrap around his waist.

The moment he saw Claire, he walked over.

“You’re here looking for Aurora, right? She’ll be down in a minute. She got a little worn out last night.”

He spoke so casually that Claire immediately felt her cheeks grow warm.

Aurora was only in her early thirties. Besides Kieran, it made perfect sense that she had other beast mates too.

The middle-aged beastman smiled and said, “I’m Aurora’s ninth beast mate. Just call me Edgar.”

Claire blinked.

Ninth beast mate? Aurora was incredible.

Just as she was marveling at it, Aurora stepped out of the treehouse Edgar Rook had flown down from.

She smiled sheepishly.

“You’re here! Give me just a minute. I’ll take you to see the hatchlings’ eggs as soon as I’m ready.”

Edgar flew back into the treehouse. A moment later, the sound of someone washing up drifted outside.

Claire looked at Zane. She wanted to laugh but forced herself to hold it in, her eyes sparkling with amusement.

Zane gently stroked her long hair and adjusted the feather hairpin for her.

His voice was full of affection. “Jealous? Go ahead. Tell me how many beast mates you want.”

Claire shyly played with her fingers, her voice barely above a whisper.

“Ahem, I-I already have you, Rufus, and Marcus. That’s enough for me.”

She answered carefully, hoping to steer the conversation away.

Just as expected, Zane smiled and leaned close to whisper in her ear.

“I’m afraid the three of us won’t be enough.”

His gaze drifted down to Claire’s wrist.

At that moment, the little green snake wrapped around it lifted his head, and his eyes met Zane’s.

Davy’s voice echoed in Claire’s mind.

“Female, your first mate figured me out! He knows I’m beastfolk now.”

“Huh?”

Claire quickly looked up and met Zane’s gentle eyes.

She asked awkwardly, “Zane… w-when did you find out?”

She raised her arm. The little green snake slithered up to her shoulder. He coiled there proudly with his head held high.

“I knew the night we were together,” Zane admitted openly. “An ordinary wild animal wouldn’t need to hide inside your storage space. Only beastfolk would.”

That was why he hadn’t exposed Davy over the past few days. He wanted to observe the little green snake a little longer.

“I’m certain he’s no ordinary snake,” Zane continued. “I can’t sense a beastfolk aura from him, and I can’t even tell what level he is.”

He looked at Claire with a gentle smile. “Claire, aren’t you going to introduce him to me?”
