"So his the one?" I asked Bailey as we stood several meters away from a fox beastman. He had blueish gray hair, dark blue eyes and he was a four star beast.

"Yeah" Bailey nodded as she stared at the male. "Well why don't you go ask him? Or do you want me to come with you?" I asked, tilting my head a bit.

She looked at me and nodded, and so the two of us walked towards the male with our mates standing not too far behind. The male saw us coming and gave me a slight bow.

"Queen Sera, do you need anything?" He asked, as his gaze shifted to me then to Bailey then back at me. "Not me, but she does" I said as I gestured to Bailey.

The male's gaze shifted to her and he tilted his head. "I'm Bailey from the wolf tribe. I want to ask if you want to be my male" Bailey said and waited as the male stared at her and blink multiple times before slowly nodding his head.

"Yes, I would like to" The male said and Bailey smiled. "Well, I'll leave you two to get to know each other" I said and they both nodded. "Thank you for the help Sera!" Bailey beamed at me and hugged me, which made me chuckle and hug her back.

"Well, enjoy your time with him and have fun" I grinned and wiggled my eyebrows at her and she huffed as her face heat up. I then left both of them, going back to my own mates who immediately lifted me up.

"Do you want to go somewhere else?" Calvin asked and I just shaked my head. "Let's just head back, and maybe play some chess or checkers" I mumbled and they nodded.

As we made our way back upstairs Calvin stopped and looked at a certain beastman before grinning. "You know him?" I asked as I too looked at the beastman who was now looking at us.

He was a bear beastman with dark brown hair and matching eyes. He also had a scar that run along his left eye and another one at the right side of his lips. He was a six star beast and looked pretty intimidating but he still looked hot and handsome like the rest of the males here.

"Roscoe" Calvin greeted as he walked towards the beastman, Tora, Kei and Florence followed after him. "Calvin" he nodded and I almost had a nosebleed with how deep his voice was.

'Fuck, I didn't expect his voice to sound that way' I thought and I had to blink several times before I noticed him staring at me. "Hi" I greeted with a smile and wave.

He seemed to be a little shock at my action since he then looked at Calvin who grinned at him and proudly introduced me. "That's Sera, my mate. She's from the peacock tribe and she also accepted Archie as her mate and even gave him cubs" He said and Roscoe looked at me again, this time tho there was a hopeful glint in his eyes for a few seconds before it disappeared as he turned away from me.

"Sera, this is Roscoe. A bear beastman and someone I know and treat like a brother after having to go with him on several rescue mission to save females or just guard certain villages once cold season comes" Calvin introduced making me nod.

'Someone's playing a match maker' I tried to suppress my chuckle as Roscoe looked at me again. "Well it's to meet you" I said and he just nodded.

"I'll get going now Calvin, I need to hunt some food for myself" Roscoe said and Calvin just nodded and we watch as he walked away.

"So? What do you think of him? His a strong beastman. Although he does have a scar since he got that after saving a female from a Jaguar rootless beast" Calvin turned to me with a slight grin.

"Someone's playing matchmaker for our mate" Tora snorted a bit and I laughed. "Hm, I wouldn't mind having him as my mate" I said and my mates chuckled.

"Well alright then, since you want him we won't stop you. And although Roscoe looks a little intimidating he's a gentle beastman when it comes to females, although they get scared because of how he looks" Calvin said as we continued on our way upstairs.

"Hm, I see" I mumbled and nodded my head before counting on how many mates I have.

'Alright I have Kei, Denver and Kali who are three star beast, then we have Tora, Lucas and Rio who are four star beast. Archie and Florence who are both five star, then for my six star mates we got Xavier, Carlos and Calvin. And lastly we got Kenji and Marlo who are both seven star' I thought.

"So that's thirteen mates in total" I muttered under my breath but of course my mates still heard it. "There are females who have more than 30 mates" Florence said and I just nodded.

"I know but I don't want to have that many, well not now at least. But it's also not easy to find strong males who aren't arrogant, just because they're strong they act all high and mighty" I huffed.

"We'll be sure to help find you some mates then" Kei laughed and I grinned. "You know what, that might be a good idea. At least we can see if the male will fit right in the family" I said and they all nodded.

"Hm? Is my little mate thinking of having more mates?" Carlos asked as he opened the door when he heard us. "Probably" I shrugged and avoided eye contact with him which made him laugh as he took me from Kei.

"Hm, well I do remember one of my brother is still single. Although his a Falcon beastman and has four stars too" Lucas chimed in and my mates grin as they look at me. "Well that's good, we won't turn down a potential flyer in the family. He can be a great help when escaping" Rio said and the others nodded.

"How about my brothers then? Some of them are flyers too. Mostly peacocks and Eagles, although I do have some hyena and coyote brothers too who are still single.

But some of them are still weak tho, but that might have changed since it's been a while since I last visited there" Xavier said and I just sat in Carlos arms with my mouth hung open.

"Excuse me! I'm right here, don't talk like I'm not here" I huffed which made them chuckle. "Oh we know little mate, but we just like to discuss these out loud" Tora chuckled and I just whined in response.

"Hm, well why don't we visit your city Xavier?" Kei suddenly asked and we looked at him. "Hm, that might be a good idea" Tora said before he looked at Kenji and Marlo.

"Well, I can use that as an excuse to visit another city to discuss trading and more" Kenji shrugged. "Autumn city right? Me and the other kings did have a discussion about that so it's the perfect time" He added and Xavier nodded before looking at me.

"Well I agree at that, but what I worry about is the cubs. Who will look after them here? I can't risk bringing them with us, not with the potential danger that lurks in every corner" I sighed as I looked at my cubs who stopped biting Denver to look at me.

"Cubs stop biting Denver" I said and they looked at each other before running to their father who was laying down in his beastform and started to harass him.

"Me and Archie can stay with them" Kali offered and Archie just nodded at me as he stood up, making Dos fall down but that didn't really stop my cub from trying to climb his dad again.

"I'll also stay" Denver said and I just nodded. "Don't worry, I'll make sure that every guard will keep an eye on the cubs" Kenji said and I smiled. "Alright" I mumbled.

"Alright, come on now let's get you something to eat and maybe discuss more of this" Carlos said with a slight chuckle and I nodded.

Florence set me down on the bed before he and Kali went out to fetch some food. "Now, llet's continue with the talk" Tora said as he took a seat besides me.

And with that, we spent the rest of the day taking about their brothers and might be a potential addition to the family. Someone who was strong, yet not arrogant nor cocky. But someone who's humble but will certainly kill you the moment you threaten their family.

"Do you want anything else little mate?" Tora asked as Denver finally finished making me drink some bitter medicine to help with my heat.

It had been two days since we had the talk about their brothers and other potential males. When I woke up this morning, I saw most of my mates staring at me. Some looking excited and expectant while some of them looked so protective and was ready to kill someone who looked at me the wrong way and I felt a little hot and stuffy.

So I put two and two together and just concluded that I was on my period, or in heat so Denver went to brew me some medicine which he had a bit of trouble making me drink.

"I want something sweet" I mumbled with a huff as Denver gave me an apologetic smile and handed me a cup of water. "I'm sorry, but that medicine was gonna help you" he said and I nodded in understanding. Not that I can really blame him, he was right it was just medicine even tho it did taste bitter.

"We'll buy you some honey nectar, you okay with that?" Tora said as he gently ruffled my hair and I nodded. "Alright, I'll take Denver and Kei with me" he said and placed a kiss on my forehead before he left.

Denver smiled at me and patted my head before following after Tora.

"So, several days without going out huh" I muttered before huffing. "Nah that wouldn't happen, I just gotta stuff some cotton down my underwear and nothings stopping me from going pit, I've been holed up in this castle for a while now because of the rain" I mumbled to myself and just layed down for now, waiting for my mates to return with the promised sweets.
