Chapter 317 The Shadow
Claire gently pushed her hand away and walked to the lounge chair beneath the tree, settling into a comfortable half-recline. “I’m doing just fine. Don’t worry about me, Eva.”
Finished
With the strength pills doing their work, Claire felt stronger than she’d ever been, strong enough that most ordinary adult male beastfolk probably couldn’t match her right now.
Eva plucked a grape from the fruit basket and held it out, her voice carrying a note of wistful envy. “I wonder when I’ll get to carry youngling myself, just like you.”
Claire popped the grape into her mouth and gave her a teasing grin.
“Hasn’t Quentin been coming around to see you pretty often lately? Sounds to me like things between you two are heading somewhere good.”
Eva’s cheeks went pink the instant Quentin’s name left Claire’s mouth.
Claire pressed on while the moment was ripe. “Eva, what do you actually feel for Quentin? Do you like him?”
Eva answered without a beat of hesitation, nodding with a bright, open smile.
“Of course I do! Quentin’s a Level 2 golden eagle beastfolk, he’s easy on the eyes, and he takes responsibility seriously too. That’s exactly my type.”
If both sides already had feelings for each other, a bond wasn’t far off. Claire figured she didn’t need to play matchmaker at all.
She glanced at Little Nine’s midsection and beckoned her closer.
When Eva leaned in, Claire dropped her voice low. “Eva, do you happen to have two wombs? I heard all rabbit clan females do.”
When Claire first arrived in the Beast World, she’d actually complained about not ending up in a rabbit clan body…
Rabbit clan females were born with two wombs, which made them far better suited for the Pomella Fertility System.
Eva stared at her in open astonishment. “Claire, how do you know about that? It’s a secret we keep strictly within our clan. Outsiders aren’t supposed to know a thing about it. How on earth did you find out?”
That explained it. No wonder rabbit clan females weren’t being competed over left and right.
Since rabbit clan females clearly had so much more experience with this sort of thing, Claire made a mental note to seek out Eva’s mother at the first opportunity and ask what to watch out for during delivery. Two litters arriving at the same time could get complicated fast.
Burrow watched Claire and his little sister fall deep into their own world, completely forgetting he was even standing there, and something in his chest pulled uncomfortably tight.
He turned his head, only to find Zane watching him with that half-amused, half-unreadable look, and he quickly dropped his gaze back to the ground.
Davy came running over with the younglings trailing behind him.

Finished
Sweat soaked his forehead, and every single youngling was filthy from head to toe, clearly having rolled straight through the dirt again.
