[ 3rd Person's POV ]

As Calvin settled down besides his brother, his eyes couldn't help but trail over to the female he was courting. Seeing that she sat down between her tiger and wolf mate, he looked away.

He considered himself to be a very lucky beastman who had the fortune of meeting and courting someone like her. She was like a rare and precious gem among the others, a precious thing that needed to be kept safe and protected at all cost.

"Seems like you can't take your eyes off her" Archie said to his brother with a chuckle. Calvin didn't respond and only smiled at him as they began to get some food for themselves once they saw that Sera already had some food.

Calvin curiously looked at the food he had in his 'plate'. "They taste good, trust me" Archie said when he noticed his brother looking at the food.

Calvin only nodded as he picked up one of the roasted meat that had some honey drizzled on it and took a bite. His eyes slightly went wide when he tasted some flavors he never tasted before.

His tail happily flicked behind him as he enjoyed the food. "Seems you really enjoy the food. I'm glad you like it" Sera let out a chuckle as he stared at Calvin who was happily eating the food.

Hearing this, Calvin looked at her and nodded. "Yes I do, I never thought that adding herbs to the food would taste this good" Calvin said as he tried another dish, which was the boar meat Tora and Kali cut into thin strips to make it look like bacon.

Seeing that Calvin was enjoying the food, Sera let out a smile as she looked around her mates. All of them look so happy, eating peacefully together and enjoying each others company.

But unfortunately that peace was ruined when a wolf male came running to them. Sera's mate glared at him and the poor wolf could help but whimper and pin his ears down after feeling the power that the other males were releasing.

"Enough, let the poor wolf speak" Sera said as she looked at her mates and she turned to the wolf who quickly shifted and tied a cloth on his lower part.

"Female, I'm sorry for disturbing you but we need Rio" He said as he apologize to Sera and then turned to Rio.

"What's the matter? Is it urgent?" Rio grumbled, feeling a little pissed that his time with his mate was ruined. "It's about the new females who arrived, their causing trouble near the riverbank" The wolf said as he looked down.

He just really wanted to deliver this message and go back to his female, he might just faint from just a glare by the stronger males, after all he was just a two star beast.

"Come on, let's just go check on it so we can resolve this quickly" Sera said, breaking the silence. "There's no need, I can just go check it out myself" Rio said as he shaked his head.

"No, I wanna come and see which female dares to cause trouble in our village when they just arrived here" Sera said making Rio nod, not that he had much of a choice anyways.

Seeing that their mate really wanted to go there, the other males couldn't do anything and just stood up. "I'll stay behind with the cubs. I can't have them running there too, they might get hurt if a fight breaks out" Archie said making Sera nod.

Kali also volunteered to stay behind and help Archie with the cubs. Once it was done, Sera and her mates, along with the wolf and Calvin went to where the fuss was about.

Upon arriving, Sera can clearly see a whole female and a half beast arguing. "I just kindly asked you to move because I want to rest on that spot! Can't you just move?" Sera heard the whole female say.

"But I was here first. Just find another spot" The half beast, which Sera guesses was a cheetah said with a frown.

Sera can clearly see the disadvantage between the two. The whole female had 20 males while the cheetah half beast only had 9 males.

"How annoying" Sera muttered as she leaned against Tora. "Rio, just deal with it quickly" She said as she watch Rio walked towards the two.

{ Sera's POV }

I watch as Rio went to talk to the other two females. "Carlos, make sure none of them will try to hurt Rio, any male who tries just beat him up but don't kill him" I turned to Carlos and he happily nodded.

'Well a little beating won't hurt since that's how most males resolve their matters here, as long as he doesn't kill the male' I thought as Carlos slithered a bit towards them.

'But his probably gonna kill him anyways and say it was an accident and he used to much forced' I let out a small snort as I shake my head and watch.

"What seems to be the problem here? You just arrived yet your already causing a ruckus in my village" Rio said as he looked at the two females.

"That female over there threatened my mate just because she won't leave this spot that my female found first!" A Jaguar male said to Rio as he glared at the other female.

Seeing his glare, the other female's mates growled at him. "Then why can't she just give it. She can just find another spot, and since when did half beast became more precocious than a whole female" The whole female's mate, who was a tiger from what I can tell said with a smirk.

He knew that if it did come to a fight, they would win. 'Tsk.. This was one thing I didn't like about the novel. On how they compare half beast and whole females.

Well I get that whole females are more precocious since they're more rarer and more fertile but still' I thought with a sigh.

'No wonder the original Sera always bullied Cassie for being a half beast' I thought as I continue to watch will happen next.

As I continued to watch, I can see from the corner of my eyes that Calvin, Xavier, Kei and Lucas had already shifted into their beast form.

'I wanna touch Xavier's beast form. I'll do that later' I thought as I glanced at Xavier's white peacock form.

"Well it's clear that she found this first. Female why don't you just find a spot for yourself?" Rio said making the female glare at him.

"Why should I?! Can't she just move??" She said and returned her attention back to the female half beast.

"Enough female, remember that you are not a villager here and only staying here temporarily" Rio said making the whole female's mates growl at him.

"Why yo-!" One of her tiger mates was about to step in when Carlos let out a hiss, and probably releasing his beast pressure while he did that.

"Take another step and I might just end up killing you" Carlos said as he glared at the male who flinched and kept his head low with  his ears pinned down.

"Enough causing trouble already, just find another spot unless you want you males to be injured" Rio said making the female scoff.

"And so? There's only two of you and even if he was a six star he would probably have trouble fighting a lot of males at the same time" She said, feeling confident that she would win.

'Stupid bitch. Carlos might just be a six star beast but he can literally kill all your mates. That's how strong he was described in the novel anyways, one of Cassie's strongest mates who can fight at least 15 males at the same time' I thought before tilting my head.

'Well probably the males who are weaker than him. There's no way he can fight 15 males who has the same combat power as him' I thought before sighing.

"And who said there was only two of them? I hope your not stupid enough to send your males to fight 3 six star beast" I said making many heads turn to me.

"And who are you?" She said before scoffing and snickering. "Oh, your that whole female who has little mates" she said making me scoff.

"So? At least my mates are strong. The weakest I have is a three star beast" I said as I looked at her males with a smirk.

"And plus, your just a stray bitch who wondered here in my village so fuck off. Don't try causing any ruckus around while your here" I said which made her seethe in anger.

"What did you just call me?!" She yelled as she glared at me which made me smirk. 'Hehe time to act like the villainess I'm supposed to be' I thought before answering her.

"A stray bitch. Want me to repeat myself again? Your not deaf are you?" I chuckled as I saw some females from the village who gathered here snicker.

"You!! Just you wait!" She yelled and left with her mates. Once I saw that she was far enough, I burst out laughing.

"Pfft hahaha! Her face turning red is so funny" I sniggered to myself as Tora quietly chuckled.

"Um.. Thank you for your help" the female half beast finally said as she looked at me. "No worries, what's your name?" I asked with a smile.

"Vivian" She answered making me blink in shock. 'Shit.. So she's that Vivian from the novel, I should have known' I thought as I tried to calm myself down.

'Don't worry Sera, just don't bully her and you'll be fine' I thought as I look at her. "Well nice to meet you Vivian, enjoy your stay at the village" I said making her nod.

"Come on now, let's go back. I wanna continue eating" I said with a small yawn. "And maybe also take a nap after" I muttered and Tora began walking back to out den, with the others following behind us.

'Well, as long as I didn't do anything the original Sera did, I would be fine.. But I shouldn't be dependent on my knowledge on the novel, things might chance because of me, I had already rewritten some events and befriended those who should have been my enemy.

I will not make the same mistake as the original one' I thought before silently chuckling to myself.

'Who am I kidding? I already made an enemy with the damn protagonist' I thought before smiling. "Whatever, I'll just have to face whatever this world my bring" I said out loud making some of my mates look at me and I just smiled at them.

'Yeah, I'm not alone anyways. I have my family with me' I thought before we finally arrived at the den.
