'Huh? Why is it so bright. Where am I?' I thought as I opened my eyes and looked around, only to find I wasn't in our room.

"Hello dear child. We meet again" a voice said from behind me and I turned my head to see the goddess.

She smiled at me and waved her hand, a chair then suddenly appeared in front of me. "Please have a seat. I will only answer three questions you want to ask" she said as I stood up from the floor and went to sit in the chair.

"You may ask any questions you want to ask. But just to let you know, I might not give you a full answer on your questions" she said with a smile as she waved her hand and another chair appeared.

"Who's the villainess of the story now? Since I changed Sera's fate" I asked which made the goddess tilt her with a smile.

"I cannot tell you that, only time will. You will soon find out who she is, prepare yourself" the Goddess said.

I merely nodded at what she said and thought carefully of what my next questions will be.

"Is Cassie gonna take revenge on me?" I asked after a few seconds of silence. "She will, sooner or later, she will have more than 20 males. She is currently staying at Blackwood city" The goddess answered which made me raise a brow.

'20 mates? I hope they're not that strong. But considering Cassie, she will pick strong and reliable males. Sure I got two of her original mates, and her suitor in the original novel but I'm sure she'll find more this time.

Maybe I should also consider taking in more mates. At least three star or above, Kali can raise his star' I thought before looking at the Goddess to ask my final question.

"Did I really change my fate? My future? The original future of this novel?" I said and she looked at me with a smile.

"Yes you did, but with this change you must also face the consequences. Changing the future means that whatever event happened in the novel might not happen now.

And some events might come sooner than what was put in the novel. Changing the future also means facing the troubles that will come with it.

Are you sure you can handle it?" She tilted her head, her smile still remaining on her lips. "Yes, I'm sure. Because I'm not alone, I'm with my mates and trusted friends. With them I know we can find a solution to whatever the future may bring" I said and she chuckled a bit.

"I see. Well you should go back now dear, until we meet again. Good luck my dear" the Goddess said before everything went black.

I woke up and sat up from shock. I then look around to see it was almost morning now, and that my mates were looking at me worriedly.

"Sera? Are you okay?" Tora asked as he pulled me closer to him. I heaved out a sigh of relief before nodding.

"Yes I am. I just had a dream" I muttered as he patted my head. "Alright, you can sleep more if you want, it's still too early" he said which made me nod.

"Alright, I think I'll sleep for a few minutes more" I said which him nod. "What do you want for your meal? I'll prepare it for you" Rio asked as he stood up.

"Hmm maybe some rabbit meat and strawberries and blueberries. And maybe some mango slices too" I said which made him nod.

"I'll bring Kali and Kei after we eat later" Carlos said making me hum. "Alright, be careful okay?" I said which made them smile.

"Don't worry, I won't let them die. It'll be bad for you to lose protection during this cold season" Carlos muttered as he looked at Kali and Kei.

"Better raise their stars quickly" he said which made me chuckle. "Don't rush it, Kei got his third star not long ago. It'll be bad if you force him to gain another star" I said which made him nod.

"Alright, but we also need to set a rule on the males your going to accept in the future" he crossed his arms and pouted which made me laugh a bit.

"Alright, what is it?" I asked with a raise brow. He then looked at the others and they all nodded. "We agreed yesterday that you shouldn't accept anyone below three star"  he said which me nod.

"Alright, I was also planning on talking with you guys about it but it seems you guys already talked" I said which made him nod.

"Remember to eat lots before you leave" I said and  layed back down again to catch a few minutes more of sleep.

'Hehe the best thing about in this world is that I can be lazy whenever I want to and no one will scold me for it and I also can wake up late' I smiled and closed my eyes.

"Woah, that's much bigger than what You or Archie catch during fall season or any other season for that matter" I said as I looked at giant boar in front of me.

"Yes, it seems like some wild beast grew bigger when cold season arrives, and we don't know why" Carlos said as he looked at the boar that he, Kei and Kali bought back from their training.

"A wild beast this big" I muttered before I turned my gaze to the three of them. "None of you got heavily injured or something right?" I asked as I checked their bodies.

Carlos barely had any scratched on him but it wasn't the same with Kali and Kei. They had several wounds littered around their bodies.

Though it wasn't really something serious, just some small wounds. They were also covered in snow.

"I'll go skin this first. What do you want to eat?" Carlos asked making me think for a moment. 'Well since it's getting colder nowadays, maybe soup will be nice' I thought before looking at the boar.

"Soup, and maybe some barbeque" I said which made him nod as he took the boar to the back to skin and prepare it.

'Hmm, maybe I should start with the games now' I thought before looking at Tora. "Tora! Come help me make something" I said and Tora followed quietly behind me as we went back inside.

But before I fully entered the house, I stopped at the door way and look at Kali and Kei. "You better clean yourselves before going inside alright? Or else no cuddles for a day" I said to which they quickly nodded and shifted to their beast form to shake the snow off of their bodies.

I laughed as I watch them before turning back to Tora and we went back to the room to start making a small table to play chess and tic tac toe.

∘∘∘∘

"So all we need to do to win is defeat the others king?" Kei asked as he looked at the chess pieces on the small table I asked Tora to make.

"Yes, how about I demonstrate it? Who wants to play?" I asked and they all raised their hands before glaring at each other which made me laugh.

"Just pick one for now. The others can play later" I said and they all picked Tora since he was the one who helped me make it.

And so, we both started playing chess. Although it was confusing at first for Tora, but once he saw how I was playing he quickly catched on.

"See that easy" I chuckled as I moved one of my pieces towards his king. Seeing this, Tora can't help but sigh as he smiled.

"Guess I lost" he grumbled as he glared at the chess piece I moved which only made me laugh harder.

"So, did you guys get it? Who wants to try next?" I asked and yet again they all raised their hands.

"Alright, you guys can play by yourselves. Let's see if you really caught on how to play it" I said and stood up as Kali and Lucas replaced me and Tora.

They both began playing, and I was shock that they were quick to grasp on how the game work with just watching me and Tora play.

'Hmm, I wonder if all males are quick to grasp on how to play this' I thought before tilting my head.

"Maybe I should make more games, maybe Freezebee for the cubs" I muttered to myself which made my mates look at me.

"What's a freezebee?" They asked as Kali and Lucas stopped playing for a min. "It's a game where you throw a disk and someone on the opposite side will catch it.

It'll be good for the cubs if they play it. While they can't hunt now we can train them to catch things easier" I said as I tried my best to explain how freezebee works.

"Alright, if that's what you want. Just tell what you need and we'll get it for you" Archie smiled which made me hum.

"Alright, I will. Now continue your game" I laughed as Lucas and Kei turned their attention back to their game.

'I'm so lucky to have them' I thought as I say besides the others on the side and continued on watching them play.
