The next morning, I woke up due to a commotion which made me groan. "It's been some time since my sleep was disturbed" I huffed as I look around as saw my cubs sleeping soundly besides me.

'Lucky cubs' I smiled as I put the blanket around them and I went down stairs to see what the commotion was.

'They better not be fighting or training this loud. They know better than to disturb my sleep' I thought as I saw them gathered around the doorway.

"What's with the commotion!" I said and crossed my arms which made them flinch as they slowly turned to me.

"Sera, your awake" Tora gulped as I send him a small glare. "Clearly I am" I grumbled and walked towards them.

"Now move" I said and they move, allowing me to see Kali and Kei with two females hugging them tightly, looking kinda scared.

Once they both saw me, they paled and quickly shake their head. "Sera! It's not what it looks like! We just found them while we we're training and found them" Kali quickly explained.

The two females look at me and I felt held my breath for a sec. 'There's no way.. ' my thoughts trailed off as I blink in surprise.

"Hannah? Lydia?" I asked making the two girls perk up when I said there name. "That's us, how d-" Lydia didn't get to finish her sentence when I run up to her and pulled her away from Kali and hugged her.

"I missed you two... How did you even get here? How's college life without me? Huh? Don't tell me you died and followed your smart ass sister here" I laughed and pulled away, seeing their face widen in shock.

"Sera?!" They both shouted as Hannah let go of Kei and walked towards me. "The one and only" I laughed as they both hugged me, by now the three of us were crying.

"Do you even know how devastated we were when we heard you were dead?!" Hannah shouted as they pulled away from the hug.

"Sorry" I muttered, wiping my tears. "Sera, it's best if the three of you talk inside. You'll catch a cold" Tora said, after a few seconds later.

I nodded as I stood up and went inside, Hannah and Lydia followed right behind me. "So, where are we anyway?" Lydia asked as she as we sat down in the living room.

"The beast world. Remember the story I've been telling you?" I asked and they both nodded after a few seconds.

"Ye- huh?! So your telling me were here?! In that story! The one with the bitchy blonde female lead and her dumb and idiotic males who follow her like lost puppies?!" Hannah said making me laugh as I nod.

We then spent the next few hours, catching up together. Mostly them asking me about what I did in this world and other related stuff and I happily answered all of their questions. Feeling happy that I could reunite with my two best friends from college that I considered as my own two sisters.

I was just a few months older than them but they treated me like a big sister, which I didn't really mind.

As we continued to talk, we finally came across the topic on how they got here. "Just how did the two of you even got here?" I asked as I received the plate of food Archie offered me.

Rio also went to give Hannah and Lydia some food. "We don't even know. We were just walking down the streets on our way to school and next second after we turned to the corner we found ourselves in the snowy forest" Hannah explained as she ate the meat in her plate.

"Now wonder you two are still in your uniform" I muttered before going deep in thought.

'Well, this took an unexpected turn of events. Now I'm really sure this is not the novel I know, but the life I'm in. Not just me but for Hannah and Lydia too' I thought with a sigh.

"You two better change. I have some extra clothes upstairs" I said making them nod. "I can see that you stole two of her original mates and suitors" Lydia said as she looked at Tora, Carlos, Lucas and Archie.

"Uh huh, I'm not letting that bitch have them like she had in the novel" I said which made them laugh.

"Gee, while we were crying from your death you were here busy gathering handsome and hot men" Hannah muttered which made me laugh.

"I wonder what tribe you are from" I muttered and thought about it when it was suddenly interrupted by Dos. "You have a cub?!" Lydia asked and I hummed.

"Three cubs" I corrected as Uno and Tres run up to me. "Cuties!" Hannah squealed which earned the attention of my cubs.

"Behave yourselves okay cubs?" I said as they went to Hannah and Lydia. "You wouldn't mind if they stayed here right?" I turned to my males with the best puppy dog eyes I can muster.

"I promise they'll leave after they found their own males. I can't just leave my poor sisters out in the cold" I said which earned nods from them.

"Of course they can. They can use the room next to the main room" Rio said which made me smile.

"Heard that? You two need to get your own mates and get out of the house" I laughed which made them roll their eyes with a smile.

"Yeah we heard. Don't worry we'll look for some reliable males and start our own families" Lydia said as she petted Uno.

"Though I might want a panthern as a mate with how cute their cubs are" She said which made me hum.

"Oh! How about you guys go with us in Blackwood city? You know that they hold a competition every drizzle season right? That way you can surely find some strong males" I said and they both nodded.

"That's a good idea" Hannah agreed and Lydia just hummed in response. "Now back to the question. What tribe are you two from" I muttered as I look at them.

"Can all of you shift and say something? I think this is the only way we can know" I turned to my males who raised a brow at me. "Did you forget we can just try to smeel their scent?" Carlos laugh making me realize what he said was indeed true.

Since beastmen have heightened senses, they can smell others scent to distinguish which tribe they are from.

"Fuck... How can I forget about that" I muttered which my males laugh. Carlos was the one to step close to them, not to close to and stick out his tongue.

"A female bear" he said as he pointed at Hannah. "And a female fox" he pointed at Lydia who groaned in response.

"Why do I have to be on the same tribe as that bitch" She muttered making me and Hannah snicker.

"There's only a few weeks left before the cold season ends and drizzle season will finally arrive. There are countless single males in this village, you might find one or two males before we go to Blackwood city" I stated and they nodded.

"Are there any bears in this village? I want to have a male I can talk to even they are in their beast form" Hannah said and Rio nodded.

"Yes, there are countless foxes and bears in the village. Along with other males from different tribes like peacocks, wolves, pantherns, eagles and more" Rio said which made them nod.

"Great! Once drizzle season starts I'm starting my own harem! Haha hot men here I come!" Lydia said which made laugh.

"It'll be easy for you two to get males, after all  both of you are whole females" I said which earned hums from them.

"Now if you'll excuse me for a few minutes, these three need to be feed" I said and pointed at my cubs who were now busy trying to get my attention so they can drink their milk.

"Rio, can you can me a bowl? I'm just gonna squeeze my milk. They're already teething" I said and Rio quickly went to fetch me a stone bowl.

I then went upstairs, with the cubs following behind me. I then sat down on the fur bed and pulled my tops down before squeezing my breast.

Soon enough, I had filled the bowl and I set it down on the floor as my cubs darted to it and began drinking.

I smiled in satisfaction as I pulled my tops up again and crossed my legs and watch my cubs drink. "You boys sure grow up fast. Sooner or later you'll all be adults and be able to shift, ready to find your own mates" I muttered with a smile.

"But be sure to choose the right female okay? Just like me or your aunties. Someone who will care for you no matter what and won't abandon you for some silly reasons" I said with a sigh as the three of them stopped drinking and looked at me.

Uno was the first to respond, letting out a cute roar and soon his two brothers followed after. I chuckled at this and watched as they continued their drinking.
