Slowly Liam's dance faded away, until he stood in front of Lalabel and took both of her hands, that's when he asked sweetly but trembling with nervousness at the end of the sentence, -Lala, will you allow me to be your male?
I was silent for a moment, breathing that delicious smell of coconut that I loved, he looked waiting for an answer from me. I caressed his cheek for a moment, took a deep breath, let out all my sincerity, -I'm going to speak to you clear and scraped, as my mother taught me.
—My stay in the Blue Feather village is temporary, I will be traveling from one place to another, getting into dangers and problems that are not mine, my main interest is to find out the whole truth about the lineage of the alphas and betas, —my voice was determined.
—If you have no problem with that, then I accept you with my male. —At the end of my sentence I drew a soft smile.
—I promise Lala, to take care of you and support you as best I can. — Liam hugged me tightly. His lips against mine form a sweet and tender kiss, until I open my mouth for more passion, his curious hands caress my purple hair, I slowly pulled away from his lips.
—We should go to sleep, it's getting late," she whispered in his ear, and finally left a kiss on Liam's cheek.
Liam nodded his head, then we both took beast form and ran back to the village.
We had a journey ahead of us in a few hours, then we went back to the house to rest.

Pov Yang
The soft glow of dawn filtered through the window, tinging the room with golden hues and creating a serene atmosphere. It was at that moment, waking up before everyone else.
My beloved Lala lay asleep, serene as a rose in the dead of winter. Her face, illuminated by the faint morning light, radiated a calm that seemed to transcend any worries. Next to her, Teru rested placidly, her athletic body resting on the bed with a serenity that only true warriors possess. And in a corner, almost like a shadow among the shadows, Noir slept peacefully recovering from his wounds.
Carefully, I slid out of bed, trying not to disturb the sleep of either of them. Arriving in the living room, I discovered Liam dozing in a corner, his breathing slow and his features marked by the peace of rest.
As I entered the room, my footsteps slipped with a mixture of determination and melancholy. A shadow of suspicion crossed my mind as I watched her inert figure. Had Lala accepted another male into our family? It was a possibility I could not ignore, but a part of me refused to confront it.
I kept telling myself that the only thing that mattered was keeping Lala happy and safe, no matter what the circumstances. With that certainty in mind, I headed for the makeshift kitchen, where I would begin my morning routine of preparing breakfast for everyone.

Pov Teru
I awoke to the familiar sensation of sunlight touching my closed eyelids. Slowly, my eyes opened, adjusting to the growing luminosity filtering through the half-open curtains. My mind still felt numb, struggling to free itself from the mists of sleep.
As I sat up, I was met with the comforting sight of Lala resting peacefully beside me. Her purple hair spread in soft waves over her arm, and her face was illuminated by a peace that seemed drawn from a dream. A nostalgic smile formed on my lips as I watched the, remembering the shared moments.
Upon reaching the living room, my eyes slid to Yang, whose figure moved with quiet grace through the space, preparing breakfast with the skill of someone accustomed to doing so.

I felt the gentle tickle of the sun caressing my face, an indisputable sign that the night had come to an end and the new day was breaking through. My heavy eyelids slowly lifted, revealing the world around me.
My attention drifted to the corner of the room where my first husband, Noir, rested in the corner of the room. His wounds were healing nicely, and a smile formed on my lips as I noted his progress. He would soon be fully recovered, and that filled my heart with joy and relief.
Noir looked at me with eyes full of love and devotion, and his silent greeting filled me with a sense of inner peace. We walked together toward the living room, where Yang, Teru and Liam were already gathered.
With determination in my voice, I announced the arrival of Liam as our new family member, who will be my fourth husband. A mixture of fffffff reflected on the faces of my three husbands, but they accepted my decision with the same loyalty and commitment they had always shown.
As my husbands continued to prepare the table for breakfast, Liam gently took my hand and led me to a log near the window. With expert hands, he began to comb and arrange my hair, flooding every gesture with love and devotion.

With the atmosphere imbued with renewed energy, everyone sat around the table to enjoy breakfast. The makeshift kitchen nook was filled with the sound of conversation and the crunching of food as they shared anecdotes and laughter.
Liam said a grateful farewell to his uncle, healer Lao, expressing his appreciation for the care he received during his convalescence. With a warm embrace and words of encouragement, he took his leave, feeling the weight of responsibility for his new life as a member of Lala and Yang's family.
Once outside the village, the group prepared to head into the dense jungle that stretched beyond the settlement's boundaries. Yang and Lala took on their beast forms, transforming into a majestic white wolf and a mysterious panther, respectively. Liam, Teru and Noir opted to maintain their human form, aware that adaptability would be key to their journey.
With determination in their hearts, the group moved deeper into the heart of the jungle, facing the scorching heat and suffocating humidity that enveloped the environment. Every step was a struggle against the dense undergrowth and natural obstacles that blocked their path.

Deep in the dark swamp of Tenebrial, where the mist tangled among the twisted trees and the air vibrated with the most primitive life, stood Elios. He was a cold-blooded, exotic-looking male, with glistening scales that glowed yellow and white under the filtered rays of the sun. His forked tongue danced in the air as he advanced gracefully through the undergrowth, his mind focused on a single purpose: to hunt and collect crystals, those precious treasures that promised evolution and power.
As he moved deeper into the swamps, Elio felt a mixture of excitement and caution. He knew that those territories were populated by wild and dangerous creatures, such as the fearsome Dinolaurius, ancient beasts whose ferocity was legendary throughout the continent.

The sun had reached its highest point in the sky, filtering golden rays through the leaves of the trees of the jungle as the group continued their journey. The heat intensified with each step, and sweat beaded the foreheads of the travelers, but their determination did not wane.
As the hours ticked by and fatigue began to set in, they found a clearing in the dense vegetation that seemed ideal for rest and replenishment.
Noir looked at Lala with a warm smile, - Lala, let's have lunch, do you want me to light the campfire?
Lala, using her conjugal mark to communicate telepathically with her first husband, -No, we should only eat dried meat and fruits, we can't attract the attention of the wild beasts.
Noir nodded in understanding, accepting his wife's decision with a gesture of respect. Together, they began preparing lunch, pulling supplies from the dimensional inventory they always carried with them. Lala extracted dried meat and fruit, distributing the food among her husbands with an air of care and affection.
The air was filled with the tantalizing aroma of food, and the group gathered around the clearing to share the impromptu feast.

Pov Tarish
When Tarish arrived at the village of Blue Feather, the sun was shining high in the sky, illuminating the landscape with its warm glow. In the form of a majestic caracal, he began to sniff the air, anxiously searching for the scent of his beloved Lalabel. However, the air was permeated with a mixture of scents and odors that made his search difficult. The bustle of the village, with its inhabitants and their daily chores, created a symphony of sounds that filled the atmosphere.
With a resigned sigh, Tarish decided to return to his human form, transforming into a handsome young man with straight blond hair. He walked among the paths of the village, looking around in the hope of finding some clue that would lead him to Lalabel.
Some looked at him curiously, while others simply shook their heads in bewilderment. No one seemed to know who Lanabel was or where he could find her. Tarish felt frustration growing inside him, mixed with a deep sense of anxiety and fear. What if Lalabel had gone somewhere else, far away from the village, leaving no trace?

Deep in the depths of a dark and forgotten ruin, lies my prison: a cold and lifeless stone statue. My eyes, fixed in darkness, have witnessed the passage of centuries while my soul burns in the fury of abandonment and betrayal.
—I have been locked in this statue for so long! How many years? Centuries? Time no longer has any meaning for me. All because of the Creator God, who decided to punish me in this way. Grrrr! How I hate him!
My life, my existence, was mercilessly taken away from me. There was a time when I was a Regent, the ruler of a great city. My subjects adored me, my power was absolute. But all that changed when I met my beloved.
