Trapped in Beast World: My Husbands Are All Animals! Novel

Chapter 120 Calling a Truce Chapter 120 Calling a Truce "Eat up," Ventor said. "You too!" Scott added quickly. ས༣74 +5 Free Coins Deria lifted an eyebrow. So they caught on fast. It seemed they had finally figured out the real purpose of tonight's dinner. Two bowls of peeled crayfish were placed in front of her at the same time. She smiled faintly, then slid one bowl toward each cub. "Go on. Thank your fathers for peeling these for you." Dream on, she thought. She wasn't that easy to handle.

She might spoil her mates, but if they thought they could use their newly learned tricks in the wrong place, they were in for a rude awakening. She kept her face straight and ignored them both. The cubs, on the other hand, were ecstatic. They swarmed Ventor and Scott, chirping "Father!" between mouthfuls. That was enough to snuff out whatever competitiveness remained between them. They finally accepted the reality of the situation. There were only two of them. Whoever Deria chose tonight, the other would get his turn tomorrow.

There was no need to make her life miserable with a "him or me" ultimatum. Then, as if they had just downed several bottles of moonshine together, the two of them nearly collapsed into each other's arms, declaring an emotional ceasefire. Deria watched with a satisfied smile, finally helping herself to the crayfish until she was full. She was the first to stand, reaching for Scott's hand. "You all take your time. I've got things to do, so I'll head out first." Tonight, she was choosing Scott.

Recently, Ventor had been using his status as the cubs' biological father as an excuse to hog Deria's time. Since he and Scott usually settled disputes with their fists, and Scott stood no chance against him, Scott had been left on the sidelines for far too long. Ventor watched them leave, his chest heavy with conflicting emotions. Still, he understood her intentions. An unbalanced household was bound to fracture sooner or later. Deria was trying to keep the peace, and he was willing to go along with it. His gaze drifted to the group of five nearby.

Five mates, yet not a hint of discord among them. Niall walked over and clapped a hand on Ventor's shoulder, the gesture carrying the weary empathy of someone who had lived through it himself. "Say no more. The crayfish explains everything. Come on. Eat." It had been a satisfying meal. 1/3 14:22. Thu, Jan 8 Chapter 120 Calling a Truce 74 +5 Free Coins Once the table was cleared, Tobias handled the dishes while Halden and Niall went to check the perimeter fence. True to his petty nature, Niall shifted into his beast form and began scent-marking the entire boundary. Halden watched helplessly.

Seriously? It's going to stink tomorrow. "Ease up," he said. "Mind your own business," Niall snapped, flicking his tail. "I'm marking the outside. Those blind idiots need to know to stay the hell away from our territory." "Childish," Halden muttered. Niall knew his scent wouldn't ward off that long black serpent forever, but it was enough to keep the others at bay. He'd heard rumors that some of the therians Iris left behind were showing up and openly declaring their affection. The thought made his skin crawl. After settling Calder, Ardenia went to clean up.

When she stepped out of the bathroom and headed toward the kitchen, she found Tobias standing there, staring blankly at the bowl of crayfish she had set aside. "They're for Vesper," Ardenia said plainly. Tobias let out a long breath and reached for a glass of cherry juice on the counter. "Give him this too." She froze, surprised that he would go out of his way to provide a drink for Vesper. "What's that look for?" he asked. "We're family, aren't we? He's having a hard time.

I'm not about to let jealousy get in the way of that." He walked up and pulled her into a firm embrace, his voice muffled against her hair. "Though... I won't pretend I'm not a little bitter." His possessive side reared up, but Tobias kicked it down before it could take hold. "Ardenia," he said quietly. "Go check on him." His voice wavered. It had taken him a long time to say it. Fle wasn't a naturally generous man, and tonight was supposed to be his. Still, he could give this much. After all, she didn't belong to him alone. By then, Halden and Niall had returned.

Halden glanced down, his eyes landing on the bowl of crayfish on the table. He'd guessed correctly- Ardenia wanted to check on Vesper. "Want me to take you?" he asked. "Vesper's cave isn't an easy climb." 2/3 14:22 Thu, Jan 8 Do Chapter 120 Calling a Truce Ardenia hesitated, looking between them. "Are you all..." $ She worried that if she went to Vesper now, the others would feel like she was playing favorites. Niall looked bummed out too, but he took her hand and smiled. "We get it. Sure, I'm a little annoyed, but not enough to make a scene. I'm a good mate. Go.

I respect your choice." From inside the cave, Calder's voice chimed in, "Same here!" Niall laughed. "That merman is cooperating for once." "Alright. We'll talk tomorrow," Halden said, lifting Ardenia into his arms. "I'll take Ardenia over." Tobias didn't stop them. He only watched her, eyes lingering. "Ardenia... will you come back tonight? "I will," she said firmly. "I promise." Vesper's cave was steeped in darkness. Standing at the entrance, Ardenia could hear the low, rhythmic rumble of a growl echoing from deep within. The massive wolf lay curled in a nest of grass.

The restless heat in his blood was burning through him forcing him to coil his enormous body into a tight, miserable ball. Halden set her down gently, ruffled her hair, and murmured. "I'll wait for you below. 8 14:22. Thu, Jan 8 T Dylan
