He crouched down and held out both arms toward Claire.
“Come on, Sweetheart. I’ll carry you.”
Claire walked around him and said, “No.”
But the corners of her lips curled into a smile.
Finished
Davy wasn’t upset after being rejected. He simply stayed close behind her, protecting her step by step. After they had only walked a few more steps, he stopped Claire again.
“Sweetheart, your feet will hurt!”
Although most of the paths through the tribe were covered with grass, the blades were still sharp. How could those little feet, as smooth and delicate as jade, possibly walk that far?
Davy put on a stern face and said sulkily, “Zane and the others always carried you before. I want to carry you too!”
Claire couldn’t help laughing. Was this really something to compete over?
In the end, she could only agree.

When Davy lifted her up with one arm and sat her on one of his shoulders, Claire suddenly realized the feeling was actually pretty nice.
Davy was so sturdily built that she could sit securely on his broad shoulder. She could even wrap one arm around his head while playing with his smooth, silky hair and directing him to turn left or right.
Claire gently pinched Davy’s right earlobe. “Go this way.”
Davy immediately turned in that direction.
The ticklish sensation from his earlobe made his whole body stiffen. A tingling numbness spread through him, leaving him feeling almost like he was floating.
Claire didn’t notice a thing. She happily swung her feet as she looked down at everything below her, feeling just like a queen!
And Davy was her most loyal guard!
Sunlight filtered through the trees, birds sang, insects chirped, and laughter suddenly echoed through the peaceful forest.
“Eva, does your Burrow even like me or not? Does he want to be my third beast mate? I only have two beast mates right now. If he doesn’t hurry up, he’ll have to get in line behind the others.”
Eva’s sweet voice replied, “You should ask Burrow that! You’re not going to stop being my friend just because of this, are you?”
“Of course not.”

Chapter 305 A Queen’s View
Finished
Claire swung her feet and urged Davy to follow the voices.
Soon they arrived at an open clearing. The trees that had once grown there had been cut down into stumps, and several wooden stools had been placed around them.
Eva was surrounded by several eagle clan beastfolk as they shared fruit together.
“Eva!”
Claire raised her hand and waved.
Ever since moving into the eagle clan and each getting their own treehouse, she had only seen Eva a couple of times and hadn’t had the chance to properly chat with her.
She hadn’t expected that in just a few days, Eva had already made friends!
Claire couldn’t help feeling happy for her.
Eva had such a cheerful and lovable personality that she was welcome wherever she went among the beastfolk.
Just like now, the moment Eva saw Claire, she happily stood up and walked over.
The other female beastfolk followed behind her. The moment they saw Davy, their mouths dropped open in surprise.
One of them quietly whispered to her companion, “Who is the male beastfolk Claire’s sitting on? I’ve never seen him before.”
“Yeah! He’s so tall! And so muscular! I feel like one punch from him could send me flying!”
As the distance between them grew shorter, the group finally stopped whispering and followed Eva as they all looked toward Claire and Davy.
Claire gently nudged Davy’s chest with her foot, signaling him to put her down.
Davy hesitated for a moment, but obediently lowered her to the ground.
Eva rushed over and grabbed both of Claire’s hands. “Claire, what brought you over here today? You’ve been so busy!”
Warmth filled Claire’s eyes as she gently patted Eva’s head. Whenever she was with Eva, Claire always felt like an older sister.
Even though she was only seventeen herself!
She smiled and said, “I brought my new beast mate to look around. His name’s Davy.”
The moment she said that, Davy instinctively straightened his chest. He stared straight ahead without looking around, but his ears perked up as he listened intently to how Claire would praise him.
