"Yes, a bet".
"What kind of bet? and what will I be getting after winning it?" Rosa suddenly asked looking at me with a confident face.
I couldn't help but ponder to myself about why this kitty was confident that she will definitely win this bet? but I didn't let it show on my face as I replied with a smile.
"Umm, how about Winston? If you win, you can have him!"
My words instantly made her surprised and she couldn't stop herself from the happiness that might be emerging from deep within her, which was visible on her face through her amused look.
"Winston..."she mumbled in a slight daze when I continued "oh, and you can have Parker too! A single win and two males!"
Suddenly the surrounding went into an utter silence with two beastmen standing fazed, because whatever was happening, was something that has never ever happened.
My words again got Rosa amused and she gleamed while saying "I accept! I accept!"
I tried to control my upcoming laugh, as I cleared my throat, "Alright, so if I win, you can't have both of the males, and you'll spend a day with me alone. Does that sounds good?"
She again nodded in agreement, so I finally let go of her waist as I stepped back and climbed the Altar as I looked at all the beastmen present around us, looking at us with surprise while the crowd that initially came to see the exchange party, was discussing among themselves about what was happening. Oh man, I know you're all here for your free entertainment ~
Same was the condition on the Altar as Winston was looking at me with shock filled eyes, which I reciprocated with a smile whereas when Parker was fuming with anger and was about to spout some nonsense I motioned him to shut his mouth close.
I confidently walked toward my bimbo, and asked her to keep my cloak in her keepsake. I can't let my snake hubby find any reason to reprimand me, afterall he is just weirdly obsessed with his skins.
Qingqing looked slightly bothered, but she didn't say anything so I just rubbed her head and turned around to look at Rosa, who was standing beside her wolf male.
"Rosa, we will compete."
"Compete? How do you want to compete? I'm sure my males can win in anything!" She replied proudly.
I laughed out loud and said "Rosa, is it you who want males or your mates?"
She snorted and said "ofcourse it's me!"
I controlled my urge to go and pinch her cute nose as I said, "Then isn't it logical that it should be you competing and claiming your win rightfully?"
My words made her to think twice, so I continued "don't tell me you're one of the females who always hide behind their mates?"
This time my words shocked her and I can feel something crossed her mind as she replied, "you'll compete yourself?"
"Yes."
"Then I'll compete myself too!" She said with a confident smile as she climbed the Altar even when her mate was reluctant to let her go, "What it is that we are competing about?" She said as she came and stood in front of me.
I smiled and acted as if I was pondering for a while, I looked here and there when I suddenly motioned toward a castle peak.
"The tiger castle?" Rosa questioned.
Oh, so that's the tiger castle, I didn't know that ~
"Yes, the tiger castle" I said after clearing my throat, "let's compete who'll reach that castle's peak first!"
Suddenly Rosa started laughing, as she said "Are you sure? you know that being the tiger princess, I've spent my whole life in that castle and I'm sure I'm more knowledgeable about the pathways that lead to the peak."
In response, I just smiled because kitty, I don't really need to know the pathway, afterall I chose that peak because I saw it was the most easiest building to climb upon even for a noob.
"We'll see." With just this I asked the crowd and the kings to become
Witnesses of the competition.
Among the kings, The ape king and the wolf king were looking like that of neutral faction whereas the tiger and leopard king were looking at each other as if the two competitors were representing their teams.
In the end I asked Muir to fly and stand at the peak so as to ensure who reached first. After listening my words, he Instantly nodded and with a swift action he flew away and stopped at the tiger castle.
Some ground rules were settled, which were like, no male will interfere at any moment in the whole competition.
The competition will take place only once and the winner will be decided on it's basis.
As for a draw match....a draw match? Seriously? If I really had a draw with a normal person I'll just drown myself with shame!
Rosa accepted the conditions, everyone took their seats and the pathway to the tiger castle was cleared.
Everyone present was sitting with their breathes intact, even those who didn't understand what was happening, but at the very end it was some sort of entertainment so none of the beastmen from the crowd moved.
After ensuring everything was settled, which surprisingly happened to went pretty smoothly as I didn't receive any kind of negative reaction, even from the ape king. Just what is going through this uncle's head?
Qingqing was the one whom I asked to make the starting count while we both were standing on the Altar which was decided as the starting line.
"Three" my bimbo started to count reverse and when she finally said "Go!" Rosa ran down from the stage by the stairs while I ran in the forward direction and made a jump to land safely onto the ground.
Oh, looks like my skill aren't rusted.
Ofcourse they aren't, I've been running daily as a morning exercise ~
I made a run toward the castle gate but Instead of entering, I climbed the side wall and with the help of climbable step design of the castle with grooves I was half up the castle when I noticed that Rosa finally entered the castle. Ofcourse I knew I am extremely fast but this much?
As I climbed leisurely, I could feel the excitement among the crowd which made me smile, I instantly made myself reach near the peak where Muir was standing with a shocked face.
I stopped while hanging from a window as I looked toward the stage and finally noticed Winston looking at me with hope filled eyes, even though he was looking more like a faraway white dot, so I shouted my lungs out, "this is for you Winston!" And finally made a final jump, and successfully reached the peak whereas Rosa was still somewhere in the castle.
The competition got it's winner already as the ape king declared at the altar, so the members from the both leopard clan and tiger clan came rushing to get there representatives back.
Rosa was flushed with sweat, her male was carrying her in his arms as he moved out of the cave and offered her water. Muir asked if he could take me down, but I refused him even without looking at him as my vision was stuck on my burly white tiger who was looking at me with such an emotional eyes.
I leaned on the boundary looking at the male on the ground, I gave a cheeky smile and I said, "looks like I won myself a male on this competition~"
Winston smiled as he looked at me helplessly, wait a minute! Don't tell me he is regretting his decision!
But he cleared my doubt the very next second as he said, "from this very moment, In the name of the beast god, I've taken you as my mate, so my dear female, will you honour me by being my mate?" Looking at me with smiling eyes finally.
I instantly got into the boundary and jumped with a smile, carelessness of mine? Oh please ~
He instantly caught me and when I felt myself in his arms all comfortable and safe, I hugged him tightly as I screamed "Yes, I do!"
Winston was definitely happy after seeing my enthusiasm so I decided to add a bit more of spice into the scene. I cupped his face with my hands as I said "from where I am, we seal the deal of becoming mates with a kiss~".
Before Winston could have understood or reacted I sealed his lips with mine. I kissed him softly because I don't wanted to scare the shy man.
Instead of a full fledged kiss, it was more like a smooch. I pulled away to saw him widened eyes and flushed face looking at me with awe when I finally gave him a sunny smile as I declared "Welcome to the family Winston!"
Winston instantly hugged me and twirled me in a circle out of happiness, I giggled when I just felt that the world was still twirling even when the world stopped, so I just asked Winston to put me down.
Just as he put me down my head that was spinning earlier just felt a sharp pain as I just blacked out all of a sudden.
.
.
.
I felt something familiar warm in my mouth and I just opened my eyes just to see an unfamiliar ceiling, on moving my eyes slightly I noticed some familiar faces like that of my bimbo, parker, leopard queen and Winston.
I noticed that there eyes lit up on seeing me waking up, looks like I can gamble that they don't want me dead yet~
I tried to get up when I felt someone push me gently on my shoulder to see it was a male who looked a lot like... Sam?
I squinted my eyes and looked at him with questions written all over on my face, when that man coughed slightly as he introduced himself as the royal healer, and wolf queen's mate and also Sam's father.
I don't know why I just felt nervousness suddenly because the person in front of me is my Father in law...FATHER IN LAW!!
I hesitantly greeted him, "Hello father, I'm Kyra..... Sam's mate"
My words instantly made him look at me with surprise which just gave me a doubt wether I should have said that or not?
Will this add some browny points or am I going to be on some bad side?
Winston instantly made me like down as again, "Don't move too sudden Kyra"
"Exactly dear, it's not right for you to rise suddenly like this" suddenly said the leopard queen, which made me think if this act of mine was really rude that it's not right?
The doctor aka father in law suddenly coughed in an attention seeking way as he Said, "You should be avoiding this much of unnecessary and sudden movements.... daughter" and he literally concealed a smile and a flush on his face.
"As this is not good for the pups" he continued and his words instantly made my earlier relieved body stupefied and suddenly broke in my head, as it went like, "huh? Huh? Huh huh? Wait a minute"
"I'm the one having pups?" I asked, just to see all the members nod in unison....oh, so I'm pregnant with pups... PREGNANT WITH PUPS?
"Are you sure it's mine?" I asked in a serious tone...just to receive some dead pan faces, who looked at me as if I'm a fool.... Kyra, you yourself have phrased it in the most wrong way possible!!!
I cleared my throat as I changed my question "so, how long does it looks like I've been carrying my pups?"
"Nearly a month, and you will be due for the delivery in the upcoming winters" the doctor replied.
I nodded and looked toward my bimbo, whose presence was not loud in the room, she looked happy..... I saved you bimbo, otherwise it would have been you laying eggs this winters!
Jokes aside ... I'm carrying pups....my kids, my cute puppies....I don't know if it was hormones or my motherly instinct kicking in.... because tears started flowing uncontrollably..
Winston wiped my eyes as I looked at him with most tearful eyes, and said "I'm going to be a mother"
Winston smiled and nodded, "congratulations mate, you are going to be a mother".
I held my bloated stomach and stroke it gently, "so it wasn't some gas or bloating, that's why it was not going away"
I heard bimbo chuckle, but my focus was still on my stomach, my pups are in there...."Dad, who is the father?"
Father in law smiled and Said, "not Sam, but another wolf mate of yours"
"Eric!" I gleamed! My hubby is going to be the happiest after listening to this great news! Now I just wish to rush back to my house!! And tell my hubby about this!
Father in law prepared some medications that he packed for me, he warned me not to be strenuous like earlier, I just nodded carelessly as I was focused on one thing... I'm going to be a mother!!!
I was walking as if I had just won the whole world, Winston supporting me from side, walking through the city to reach the leopard castle from the wolf castle.
Throughout the walk, upon seeing any female ogling at me, I would pass a sky smile, and point at my stomach shouting, "I'm carrying pups darling!"
Winston would smile slightly, but never said anything or stopped me.
Some females smiled, meanwhile some made a scornfull expression, those received my middle finger, get lost bitches, there are pups on the go!
As I was walking, I spotted the Ape king talking to a group of males who accompanied Winston to the exchange, I smiled slyly and I shouted at my loudest voice, "Ape king!! Ape king!!" While waving my hands in the air which instantly caught his attention.
As he looked at me, I instantly pointed at my stomach as I shouted, "I'm carrying pups! Right here!"
My words made the group look at me with the most shocked expression, and out if all ape king's was the weirdest as he tried to change his expression and walked upto me, and said "Congratulations female, I'm glad you here this good news in the beast city, I am g-"
"See you in tonight's banquet, Ape king" I interrupted his extremely long speech in the middle as I turned to my left and walked away whistling.... leaving the old man petrified at his spot.... Unlucky him, wasn't able to complete his words.....
As for me....whom shall I tell this good news now?
"Kyra...are you sure you wish to go to the banquet tonight?" Winston suddenly asked.
I nodded "yupp, as for the trouble, don't worry, I won't cause any" only if they don't get on my nerves was silent....
