"I think we should leave now, Your Majesty," Alice said being careful not to address him by his na. While Kyrell was busy with Lyra’s mates, it was easy for her to slip in and say things that might cause misunderstanding but when Kyrell was alert, it was second to impossible to fool him.
He had been oddly wary of her since she stepped inside the eagle tribe. It was not like this in the past. When Kyrell was still an outcast amongst the Eagle royalty, it had been less of a problem insulting him or tornting him. But now, he was the king, a figure that she could not cross without consequences. Hence, it was better for her to keep her mouth in check while he was more present in the situation and act behind the scenes.
Kyrell was still lost in his thoughts as he was ushered back to his tribe. His mind was all over the place the entire ti he was walking. He wanted to shift into his beast form and fly to his love but stopped after rembering her mates. They would never allow him to et her, especially Victor. He also didn’t know about Lyra’s stand in all this matter. Was she really not aware of all this? About her mates treating him like he had done so sin? They looked so confident admonishing him, did that sohow co from Lyra? Kyrell didn’t want to think the worse but the current situation was making it hard for him to do otherwise.
As ti passed, his patience only dwindled further. He wanted to be as understanding as possible so that he could et her. That was the only thing he wanted now. To et her. With that, he could explain himself to the one that really mattered. He was over trying to get validation from those imbecile mates of hers. If they didn’t like him then so be it, he also didn’t like them anyway. The one reason he even tried to get along with them was because of Lyra. But now that they were trying to separate him from that one reason, they were nothing more than his rivals.....worst, enemies.
When they reached the Eagle tribe, Alice tactfully left Kyrell’s side and returned to talk to her father about her future moves. anwhile, Kyrell dismissed the guards before settling on his bed. He lay flat on his back and closed his eyes covering it with his forearm. The injuries he had received had not yet fully recovered and the aftermath of it was catching up to him. He was feeling delirious and his body ached making him succumb to his sleep.

[Lion tribe]
Lyra woke up feeling tired. Her head was spinning and nausea hit so hard that it almost made her retch.
"Lilly!" As soon as she propped herself up, she heard Blake’s voice. She opened her watery eyes that was probably caused due to her uncomfortableness. Then she felt all of her mates surrounding her and frowned. The musky sll that she liked of her mates felt repulsive all of a sudden which made her push them back. Well, she attempted to push them but it only made them more worried about her.
"Are you alright, baby dove?" Noah asked as he took in his mate’s displeasure. He didn’t want to think like this but it seed like she was getting irritated for so reason.
That was true because when Lyra felt her actions not working, she instead used her words, "Don’t co near , I don’t feel good"
Blake felt his heart stop when he heard her first but that turned into worry as she completed speaking. He wanted to look and make sure that she was alright but held back while he stepped away from her.
Noah likewise strode back while his eyes never left his mate. He was about to ask the guards outside to fetch the witch master when the latter appeared before he could. Demir was with the Witch master discussing pregnancy and the herbs that could be used throughout the process.
And as soon as Demir saw his mate up in the bed, he rushed towards her before Blake and Noah could stop him. They glared at the forr and were about to pull him away until they saw sothing that made them stop.
Lyra was hugged before she could realize which made her froze. Then as though a miracle, she felt herself calming down and hugged her mate back while burying her face in his neck. As always, her lovely scorpion slled like a blend of fragrant flowers and herbs that he played with. She had liked his soothing scent for a long ti but right now, she felt like she liked it an extra mile. It was so damn comforting that she felt like taking one more nap.
"Well, this is not the welco I was expecting" Her revere broke when she heard a familiar voice. Victor who had co rushing after finding out about his mate wore an expression of displeasure taking in the image of her hugging that annoying scorpion.
Killian on the other hand, ignored the Vulture before stepping toward his mate. He caressed her face with his thumb to only feel his mate edging away from him and going back to Demir’s embrace. That hurt.
Kaizer as a suitor was forced to stay on the sidelines as he watched all of this happening. He could only ease his worry by watching her.
And before Lucas could move, Noah held him back and shook his head. Although confused, the forr decided to listen to his friend and wait it out.
Whereas, Blake could feel the tension in the air. Killian’s face was visibly distorted and Victor, he was another story. The vulture seed to have held himself back from going to their mate after seeing what occurred to Killian. It was as though he was preventing himself from feeling further displeased.
"Lilly" To quell the situation, he decided to talk to his mate. When he caught her attention, he told her what she was supposed to know, "It seems like you are pregnant" Then he saw his mate’s eyes go wide in surprise as he added, "With a Female cub"
"What!?" Lyra snapped out of her daze and pulled away from Demir before asking as though trying to make sure what she had just heard was true, "I’m pregnant?" Blake nodded, "Again?"
She took a deep breath trying to calm her nerves. A Million questions ran through her mind but she decided to voice out the most important one, "Well, who is the father?"
