"Sera!!" Bailey waved at me as she walked towards us, Gray and her other mates followed after her.

"That's a nice dress" She commented as she looked at the dress I was wearing. "Yeah it is, it's also comfortable" I said with a smile.

And upon hearing this, Carlos couldn't help but be proud, after all it was his skin. "Well, enough of that! Let's go now, the bonfire will start any minute now" Bailey said as she dragged me with her.

Lydia and Hannah just followed after us. We then went to seat where most of the females were already waiting.

Once we arrived, Rio welcomed Lydia and Hannah into the village and then begun the competition. Countless eager males quickly shifted into their beastform and started fighting.

My eyes scanned around the males that were fighting till my eyes landed on a certain panthern. 'That's Calvin right? Or am I mistaken?'  I thought as I did saw some pantherns on the other side.

And as if sensing what I was thinking, he turned to me and let out a small roar. 'Hm yeah, definitely him' I thought to myself as I watch him fight against two wolves and a tiger.

[ 3rd person's POV ]

As Sera watched the panthern fight, the said panthern was a bit excited that the female he liked actually paid attention to him. Before meeting her, he would just usually avoid females from the city.

He knew that they were just probably after his crystals or they just wanted him for his strength, after all most females were like that. His mother was also no exception, he saw how cruel some females can be to their males when they don't get what they want.

And so, he just decided that he'd rather be mateless till he died or find the perfect female for him, which he thought was nearly impossible until he met her.

On his first day of coming here at the village he was a bit curious and shock that he actually saw his brother here on the village, but then he became intrigued when he saw that his brother had a mate and she also gave birth to his cubs.

He then noticed on how different she was, by helping others and how she treated her mates. He then decided that day, he wanted to be her mate.

But since it was almost the start of cold season, he didn't really have much time and just waited until this moment.

[ Back to Sera's POV ]

It didn't take long for Calvin to finish fighting the other males, and once he was done he went over to where I was sitting and quickly shifted to his human form.

He then quickly tied a cloth on his lower half before introducing himself. "Female, my name is Calvin. A six star beast from the panthern tribe, I'm also Archie's brother" he said and I nodded in response before introducing myself too.

"My name is Sera, a whole female from the peacock tribe" I said and watch as his tail lazily swayed back and forth. I then look at him up and down before humming.

'Well he is Archie's brother from the same litter so it's only natural they really look alike. Well minus the scars Archie has on his face and body, but yeah I think Archie is hotter' I said as I watch him fidget on his spot a little.

Once he saw I was done observing him, he opened his mouth to speak again. "Female, will you allow me to court you?" He asked and I nodded with a smile.

"Yes, I will allow it and you can call me Sera from now on" I said making him nod as he went to stand at my back.

'Great!! One more six star beast acquire! My harem is growing stronger and stronger which is good for me. But this might not be enough, the goddes did say that Cassie has almost 20 mates' I thought as I observed the other males fighting, although none of them really piqued my interest.

Once the fighting was over, I went to the little campfire where my mates were waiting. "Brother" Archie greeted his brother when we arrived.

"Why don't you sit down and let's get to know each other more" I smiled as Tora sat me in his lap. Calvin nodded as he sat down on the log that we were using as a seat.

"Oh, I'm just curious. Why did you want to court me? I heard from your brother that you usually avoid females back in the city" I asked As Kei began feeding me some sliced peaches.

"Well, I can tell your very different from the other females I have meet before. You accepted my brother who was scorned at by the females at the city, even by our own mother.

And you even have him the chance to have cubs with you" Calvin said as his tail slowly flicked behind him.

"Ahh, I see. Will you be willing to wait a few days before I accept you as my mate? I just want to know you better, just to ensure your mark won't end up where it shouldn't" I said and he nodded.

"Of course, I'm willing to wait. Being able to court you is already an honor" Calvin said with a smile which made my heart skip a beat.

'Shit. This men here are really too handsome for their own good. Is it really legal to be this handsome? It shouldn't be right?' I thought as I felt my ears turn red.

"Ahem.. Anyways here are my mates!" I said and started to introduce my mates one by one, trying to avoid being teased by my mates who I'm sure can feel what I was feeling through the mark.

"And these are my cubs. Uno, Dos, and Tres" I said and introduced my cubs who without a care run up to meet Calvin.

"I should really teach them not to approach strangers so willingly" I heard Archie mutter with a groan as he went to scold the cubs which just made me chuckle as the cubs immediately run to me the moment the sense that their father was gonna scold them.

The three of them started roaring cutely as they began to tap to my legs for help. "Awe my poor cubs" I chuckled as I patted their head.

"But your father is right. You shouldn't approach strangers so willingly okay? Unless it's mommy's new mate okay? Or someone I trust. I don't want the three of you to get hurt okay?" I said as they meekly nod with their ears down.

"Stop acting cute in front of your mother. That won't save you from me" Archie said as he picked them up. The three of them made a fuss about it and looked at me but I only smiled at them.

'Sorry cubs but you really do need some scolding' I thought as they really did need to learn about not approaching other males or females easily.

"Hmm, well since the Bonfire seem to be almost finish now, should we go back?" I asked making my mates nod and I turned back to Calvin.

"You know where my house is right? If not you can come with us" I said and he nodded and followed after us as Tora carried me.

"Sera~ already going home already? Guess I'll just introduce my new mates to you tomorrow" I heard Hannah say and Tora stopped along with the others.

"Me too, guess we'll just have to introduce them tomorrow" Lydia chuckled as she was being carried by a fox male.

From what I can see now, each of them had three males. Lydia had a fox, the one who's carrying her now, and he was a three star. She then had two tiger males who were both two star.

Hannah on the other hand had three wolf males and they were all two stars. 'I'm guessing at least one or two of them are Serenity's cub' I thought with a smile.

"Hm, alright. I'm going back home now, good luck with your new family and keep safe okay? Don't forget to visit me when you have the time" I said making them nod with a smile.

'Well at least I can rest assured a bit that they'll be safe. Lydia has a three stars and two males who are two stars. Hannah also has three two stars which is kinda okay for now' I thought as I layed my head down on Tora's shoulder as we began walking back to the den.

Minutes later we arrived back at the den and Calvin bid farewell to me, promising to come back tomorrow with some gifts and then left.

Once we entered, none of my males waited for anything as Tora just handed me to Xavier who happily carried me upstairs to the main bedroom.

"I'm glad to finally have some alone time with you" he said as he layed me down on the fur bed. He then began removing my clothes and then buried his face in my chest which made me laugh.

"Great, another mate who really loves my boobs" I snickered as he lifted his face. "They're soft" he said before pulling me into a heated kiss.

I let him be and awaited on what the night would bring, with one curious thought on my mind. 'Where will his mark end up?'
