The Ultimate Litter: A Beast World System Tale novel Chapter 352

Chapter 352 Guess What’s in My Hand

So neither Quentin nor Eva was the least bit shy about it, and they kissed without a second thought.

After that came all sorts of party games, the kind that tested how much the two of them trusted each other while getting the whole room fired up.

Claire stood outside the door, unable to squeeze her way in.

Eva’s sweet, carefree personality had won her plenty of friends in the eagle clan, and the little treehouse was packed to the rafters.

Among them were Neve, Lark, Wren, and Lucia, the ones Eva had made a point of introducing to Clairda while back.

Lucia was standing at the very edge of the crowd, unable to work her way to the front either.

She turned her head and found Claire already looking back at her.

Claire gave her a friendly smile.

Lucia glanced at Claire’s big belly and smiled back, soft and gentle.

She’d just started toward Claire when she spotted Davy stepping up behind her, taller than the doorframe itself, and she froze mid-step.

Claire glanced back at Davy and said under her breath, “See what you did? You scared her off.”

Was Davy really that terrifying to look at?

He looked sweet and harmless.

Maybe it was just that Davy was built so solid, nothing like the lean, lanky eagle clan males, and that was enough to startle people.

Davy scratched his head.

“So… what should I do?”

It wasn’t his fault he was built like that.

Claire hid a laugh behind her hand and patted his broad chest.

“Go wait for me at the bottom of the tree. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

Zane and Marcus had already headed back to put the younglings to bed, which left Davy as the only one still with her, though with so many beastfolk around there was no real danger.

Davy nodded and obediently headed down to the base of the tree, where he planted himself like a sentry.

hurst of laughter went up from the crowd of beastfolk.

sh round of cheering, Eva and Quentin turned redder and redder.

Chapter 352 Guess What’s in My Hand

Someone had stuffed two pieces of fruit down Quentin’s hide skirt, and everyone was hollering for Eva to reach in and find them.

Claire bit back-a-smile and made her way over to Lucia.

Lucia’s cheeks were flushed pink too, as though she were the one whose wedding night was getting crashed.

Claire asked, puzzled, “Lucia, why are you blushing? You must have younglings of your own by now.” Games like this shouldn’t have fazed a female who already had younglings of her own.

But the color drained out of Lucia’s face, and her head dropped.

Claire froze. Have I said something wrong?

Then Lucia spoke, in a voice barely above a whisper.

“I don’t have any younglings… Rowan and I have been bonded almost a year now, and I still haven’t gotten pregnant… Do you think there’s something really wrong with me?”

Tears welled up in her eyes as she said it, and she blinked them back.

“Never mind all that. Today is Eva’s big day. Claire, I never got the chance to thank you. Without you, the beast swarm would’ve wiped out the clan. Thank you.”

Claire waved it off.

“What’s there to thank me for? I’m part of the eagle clan now too!”

Lucia looked over at Eva in the middle of the crowd, where Neve and Lark had her by the wrists and were steering her hands toward Quentin’s hide skirt.

Her eyes seemed to look right through the crowd to somewhere far away.

She murmured, “The day Rowan and I bonded was every bit as loud as this. The worst troublemakers of all were Rowan’s closest friends. Rufus was right in the middle of it, and so were the Chavez brothers, Quentin and Landon, along with Altair.”

Back then, those five eagle clan males had stood head and shoulders above everyone else in ability, with the looks to match, and they’d caught the eye of most of the females in the clan.

Lucia had fought an uphill battle before she finally won Rowan over, only for the two of them to go this long without a pregnancy.

Rowan had tried to reassure her, telling her it hadn’t been that long and there was no rush to have younglings.

But Lucia knew in her heart how much Rowan loved younglings and what a good father he’d make.

The more Lucia thought about it, the quieter she got.

Only now did Claire realize how close Lucia’s mate was to Rufus.
