Chapter 297 Claire Meets the Enchanting Ruby
A smooth, melodic voice suddenly spoke beside Claire.
Still half–asleep, she mumbled, “Huh? A dominant voice?”
That sounds so nice!
Then she froze.
None of the beastfolk around her had a voice like that.
She opened her eyes and saw a beautiful woman with bright red lips glaring at Davy.
Claire quickly scooped the snake into her arms.
“Davy! Where did you run off to? I… I thought you’d changed your mind!”
Finished
She had almost convinced herself that she’d delayed their bonding for too long. Maybe he’d gotten tired of waiting and run away before the ceremony.
Held gently in Claire’s hands, Davy didn’t dare struggle. Instead, he was secretly thrilled.
Claire, how could I ever change my mind? I’d only leave if you told me to.
Claire pouted.
“So if I told you to leave, you’d really go?”
Davy nodded without hesitation.
“Of course. Whatever you ask me to do, I’ll do.”
Claire let out a soft sigh and finally loosened her grip on him.
Ruby folded her arms and watched the two of them with an elegant smile. When Claire finally looked at her, Ruby’s smile became even more charming.
“Did I interrupt something?” she asked playfully. “But your mate’s shed skin ended up in my hands, and I’m the one wearing it. By all rights, shouldn’t I be the one bonding with him?”
Claire looked down. The stunning woman was wearing a shimmering, form–fitting outfit. It was obvious at a glance that it had been made from snakeskin.
More importantly, the scent on it matched Davy’s exactly–back before he evolved into a drake.
It really was Davy’s shed skin.
Claire turned to him.
Davy hurried to explain.
“I went to get my shed skin yesterday because I wanted to give it to you. But I found out she’d taken it for

herself. She refused to give it back, and then she secretly followed me here.”
Finished
Claire raised an eyebrow. She had already noticed the three beast marks clearly visible on Ruby’s face.
i-
“You’re actually a Level 3 beastfolk! Alpha, you’re amazing!”
“Alpha?” Ruby blinked. “What’s that supposed to mean? My name is Ruby.”
Ruby leaned down to look at Claire. Her curvy chest were impossible to miss as she stood right in front of
her.
For some reason, Claire immediately liked the woman named Ruby. It definitely wasn’t because Ruby gave her such an impressive view of her stunning figure.
No, it was because there wasn’t a trace of malice in Ruby’s eyes.
“Alpha is a compliment,” Claire said with a grin. “It means you have an amazing figure. That’s what we call women like you where I come from!”
Ruby suddenly understood and smiled with satisfaction.
“Oh? Your clan is pretty interesting. All right, I’ll let you call me that. But I still don’t know your name, little female.”
“I’m Claire, from the Fox Clan.”
Claire pointed at herself, then at the stunned Davy beside her.
“He’s my fourth beast mate. We were supposed to complete our bond last night, but he ran off instead. Turns out he went looking for an Alpha like you.”
Ruby laughed happily, knowing Claire was only teasing.
Davy, however, took it seriously.
“No! I wasn’t looking for her! I don’t even know her! Claire, let me explain! I really went to find my shed
skin.”
Claire gently brought his little head close until they were face to face.
“I know. I believe you. I was just joking.” She smiled warmly. “Besides, since she already turned your shed skin into clothes, let her keep it. I don’t care whether you have a gift for me or not. You’ll always be my fourth beast mate.”
She didn’t care about formal gifts. Whether there was a keepsake or not, it wouldn’t change how much she cared about Davy.
…………
Davy’s face turned bright red. He nodded, then quickly slithered onto Claire’s wrist and hid his head beneath his tail.
Claire actually said something so bold in front of a stranger… I’m going to die of embarrassment.
Still, her wrist was the most comfortable place in the world.
