Beauty in the beast world-Chapter 241: Analyzing

Lyra continued to hug her mate as she buried her face against his chest. He was so warm. Maybe it was due to the start of the winter season, Victor’s embrace felt warm like heaven. Well, she always felt like this with her sweet mates. All of her mates, Victor included were her heaven. Only her heaven and no one else’s. They were hers after all.

Victor on the other side couldn’t stop his lips from perking up as his mate tightly hugged him. Every negative thought he had before melted into thin air. But his happiness didn’t last long because his mate’s warmth left him as soon as it came. He wore a bewildered look and glanced forward only to see his mate in another’s embrace, "You little....." he cursed through his clenched jaws.

Meanwhile, the one who received that had a triumphant grin on his face as he encircled his arms around his beloved.

Lyra blinked her eyes in surprise while calling out, "Demir?"

"I thought you forgot about me for a second, sunshine" Demir said as he kissed the crown of her head. When she suddenly entered the kitchen, he was confused in the beginning but that soon turned into envy. And this time, it was not directed at Blake but at Victor instead. Seeing his mate finding that vulture first irked Demir to no end. It was as though she didn’t see him at all.

Lyra’s eyes mellowed upon hearing his words. She tightened her hold around his waist and said, "How could I forget my favorite mate?"

"Then what about me?" right after that, she heard a harsh yet sulking voice that made her pull back from Demir before glancing to look at the owner of the voice.

Lyra smiled sheepishly as she came to face Killian’s face. He looked grumpy with his brows frowned. ’I’m sad’ was written all over his face and she couldn’t help but chuckle. Then she beckoned to him towards her while still in Demir’s embrace, "Come here, sweetheart"

Killian was quick on his feet. As soon as he heard his mate’s familiar endearment, his body moved on its own, and before he could think more, he was already hugging his mate. Offcourse only on her side because that annoying scorpion refused to completely pull away from their mate. So now, on either of her sides, Lyra had a handsome man clinging to her.

Lyra didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. Her mates were such babies sometimes...No, it was more like they were babies all the time and only behaved like grownups when in bed....Cough! Cough! Lyra cleared her throat trying to come back to reality. She hated to admit this but her mind was always in the gutter after she came to the beastworld. It was filled up with lewd thoughts that she wanted to try out with her mates but felt too shy to do so.

Coming back, she hugged two of her mates with one arm each. She also felt both of them fighting to get rid of each other’s hand on the small of her back but decided to ignore it. They would not stop even if she asked them to.

So with everything settled, Lyra left the kitchen and went to the bathing house to wash up.

Demir decided to stay behind in the kitchen to re-prepare breakfast because he had completely burnt the one that he prepared before. Killian on the other hand, stayed back to help Demir, and not long after, Blake too joined them.

And as for Victor, he followed after his mate to the bathhouse because he had something important to ask his mate. He observed as his mate busied herself with washing herself. She brushed her teeth using some herbs before removing her clothes and settling herself inside the stone tub filled with warm water.

Victor gulped seeing his mate’s naked form and felt his manhood rise. Ignoring the raging length on his lower body, he stepped toward his mate and kneeled before starting to massage her shoulders.

Lyra gingerly closed her eyes and relaxed her back and head against the tub. A satiated smile graced her face as she got lost in pure bliss due to her mate’s ministrations. Before she only wanted to wash up quickly and leave but this...this felt too good.

"Sweet girl?" amidst this, Victor softly called making her hum, "Hmmm"

"What kind of nightmare did you have?" he had wanted to ask this for the longest. Seeing her filled with anguish as soon as she got up made him worried. He was about to ask of this then and there but Blake coming there stopped him. And when he saw his mate relax as soon as she saw that snake was enough to perk his anger which clouded his mind momentarily but not anymore.

That look that she had after waking up from her sleep still bothered him. He would not feel at ease until he got to the bottom of it and solved it.

"You looked so distraught when you woke up" Victor added, "Tell me, sweet girl. What did you dream for you to behave like that?"

Lyra slowly open her eyes which were filled with mist from the warm bath. She held Victor’s hand which was still on her shoulder before parting her lips, "To be honest, I still can’t remember it. No matter how much I try, nothing is coming to my mind" Then she turned around and looked up at her mate. Her eyes were wavering with uncertainty and helpless tears, "Just trying to recall it makes my heart throb painfully. It.....I don’t understand anything"

Seeing her at a loss for words made Victor frown. He knew about his mate very well. She might not be strong physically but that could not be said for her mental strength. She was someone that managed to quickly adapt to the unknown world that she fell into and built herself a home and family of her own. It was not that easy. Keeping multiple immortal beastmen in check was never easy. Yes, they loved her and followed all of her words but that itself was dangerous to her. Being an immortal beastman himself, Victor knew of the adversities of being one. The more powerful he became, the more he craved for blood and chaos. The bloodlust of an immortal beastman was not something to be taken lightly.

Every emotion that he felt, be it good or bad was tenfold more compared to normal beastmen. The love toward his mate and hatred for her other mates was like a flood that hit his heart. Most of her mates were his comrades that he had spent years with but that did not stop his jealousy. Well, the past that they shared meant nothing to all of them in front of their mate. She had such an effect on them. Mate Bond that she shared with them was more difficult on her than on them. She could feel all of the emotions and pain that her mates would go through but never complained about it.

This alone can explain their mate’s strong mind. She was calm and composed, and talked out most of the things which kept them from killing one another. Her way of communicating with each one of them made it possible for them to peacefully coexist while sharing the same female. But for such a person to look so weak just because of a nightmare unnerved him.

"I’m scared, Victor" his heart broke as she hugged him while whimpering pitifully. Right at that moment, he made up his mind to discuss this with Darcio. The nightmare that she had did not seem normal.
